My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Shen Sui pondered as he looked up at the stage, wanting to see the scene of the duel between the two sides.

An Hai and Ji Bubai were a temporary team, but both belonged to the ranks of top-tier Life Card Masters. Even though it was their first collaboration, they both displayed their individual skills, and even developed a remarkable synergy.

Sometimes, the interaction between masters doesn't require too many words.

With flowers matched with shipgirls, they pressed the opponents so much that they couldn't lift their heads.

After watching the first duel, Shen Sui already knew the outcome of the match in his heart.

Whether in terms of deck strength or teammate cooperation, there was simply no comparison.

"Shen Sui." Just as Shen Sui was watching the match, the voice of Tang Lili appeared by his ear.

Shen Sui turned his head to look at the nervous Tang Lili and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That Saint Soaring Music Academy you mentioned before..." Tang Lili pursed her lips and asked softly, "What's special about it?"

"What happened?" From Tang Lili's expression, Shen Sui immediately sensed something was wrong and asked promptly.

Tang Lili said, "Hui went to this academy for further studies and encountered many strange things there."

"Like what?"

"Time," Tang Lili stated confidently, "The time doesn't match."

"Ah this...."

Shen Sui didn't know what to say, and asked Tang Lili to describe the situation in detail.

Apparently, Sawaragi Kei seemed to have fallen into some sort of time loop. Because the real world where Tang Lili was located was an independent world and was not affected by this time loop, Tang Lili immediately noticed the anomaly when it happened for the first time.

However, Sawaragi Kei actually didn't believe it, because the time loop had reset her memory, and she always thought she had just enrolled.

"So, how did your Soul Card believe you?" Shen Sui asked curiously.

"A girl named Suzumiya Haruhi found her..."

Damn!

Shen Sui staggered, nearly sliding off the chair.

"Are you okay?" Tang Lili looked at Shen Sui strangely.

No, why did this person come here? This isn't even the right setting.

"She is an outsider," Tang Lili said, "but behaved very strangely, saying she was specifically looking for Superpower Users..."

"Anyway, this is a unique opportunity." Shen Sui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Tang Lili, "Since you're outside the time loop, you can fully use your foresight to help your Soul Card. You might even gain many Life Cards."

If Tang Lili was a little more ruthless, she could have allowed this time loop to last longer, and she would surely obtain a large number of Life Cards and many new forms of Soul Cards.

Shen Sui handed the power of choice to Tang Lili.

For Tang Lili, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the result all depended on her decisions.

While they were talking, the duel on stage had already ended.

An Hai and Ji Bubai easily claimed victory without any suspense.

As Li Changgeng stepped down from the stage, his face was green.

Although the All-Star Game was just for entertainment, he had fallen at the first hurdle in all three modes, which was quite a blow to Li Changgeng.

"It's our turn now." Shen Sui said to Bai Ye beside him.

Bai Ye nodded.

On the other side, Tan Song also stood up and, together with Tang Lili, followed Shen Sui out of the lounge.

The four of them took different routes to the stage.

Shen Sui, Bai Ye, Tan Song, Tang Lili.

Each one of them was a very popular Life Card competitor.

When the four Life Card Masters appeared on the stage at the same time, everyone cheered.

"Oh oh oh! This duel is going to be exciting!" Some spectators immediately took out their phones to capture the moment.

Some people commented uneasily, "The combination of Tan Song and Tang Lili is a bit abstract."

Although many in the audience did not have strong decks to participate in duels, they were still keen observers of the matches.

The play style of Tang Lili was evidently incompatible with Tan Song's duel style.

How did these two end up teaming up, anyway?

There was no indication that Tan Song and Tang Lili knew each other.

Initially, the audience thought Tan Song would form a team with An Hai or Shen Sui because their relationships appeared quite close.

But to everyone's surprise, Shen Sui teamed up with Bai Ye, and Tan Song with Tang Lili.

Were these team members acquainted beforehand?

Many in the audience expressed their doubts.

Pairing Shen Sui with Bai Ye was understandable, given that during the Huashan Invitational, Bai Ye had some interaction with Shen Sui as an award presenter. But did Tan Song and Tang Lili have any sort of interaction before the All-Star Game?

Of course, the fun-loving folks didn't care about any of that, and were even looking forward to the Tan Song and Tang Lili duo—this combination promised some spectacle.

"Tang Lili's deck has only a few effective Follower Cards, and her strategy demands occupying a lot of magic slots. If that blocks Tan Song's play, it could be troublesome." Both Tan Song's and Tang Lili's audiences began to worry.

With the referee's signal, the duel officially began.

Tan Song got the first turn.
