My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

"Great! I have the first turn!"

Doesn't Tan Song know the weaknesses of this combination?

Of course he does.

But isn't that the fun of the All-Star competition?

Just like Shen Sui, Tan Song also sees a lot of potential in Tang Lili, always believing that her deck has great potential and, once developed, could even compete with mainstream decks. Therefore, bringing Tang Lili along is not just about keeping his promise to Shen Sui, but also about giving Tang Lili some guidance.

A girl like this shouldn't be wasted on the transient idol business.

Being able to seize the first turn when at a disadvantage is undoubtedly a delight, as the slight initial advantage could marginally increase the chances of winning.

With this in mind, Tan Song drew a card from his hand, paid the Soul Points, and prepared to special summon a [Sword Immortal] follower from his deck, but at this moment, he noticed a timing.

Hand trap?

Experienced as he is, Tan Song didn't need to confirm with Tang Lili to be sure that this timing came from Shen Sui and Bai Ye's side.

Considering Bai Ye rarely uses hand traps, this is almost certainly Shen Sui's card.

"When you activate an effect that involves special summoning, I activate from my hand..."

Shen Sui drew a card from his hand and showcased it to everyone: "[Sinful Saintess·Anna]'s effect."

Seeing [Sinful Saintess·Anna], Tan Song was momentarily stunned.

However, he quickly snapped out of it and asked helplessly, "Aren't you playing a Dragon Race deck?"

"Yes." Shen Sui nodded earnestly, "It is a Dragon Race deck."

"How can a Sinful Saintess count as a dragon!"

Getting hit by a Sinful Saintess on the first hand, is this something you can even play?

Tan Song felt immensely frustrated inside.

The effect of [Sinful Saintess·Anna] triggered, directly negating Tan Song's Spell Card effect.

And, as long as she stays in the graveyard, whenever you special summon a follower, Shen Sui can draw a card; whenever you activate the effect of a Spell Card, Shen Sui can reveal a card from his hand, reducing that card's star level to 0.

Special summoning is almost inevitable when trying to expand, and in a duel without infinite battle, reducing a card's star level to 0 is a very powerful effect in itself.

Originally, Tan Song and Tang Lili's combination was already struggling against Shen Sui and Bai Ye's team, and with this first-hand hit by [Sinful Saintess·Anna], what are they supposed to do now?

Despite the frustration, Tan Song didn't stop his hands as he continued his turn.

"You're planning to continue despite the Sinful Saintess?" Shen Sui noticed Tan Song's actions and understood his intentions.

Tan Song had no other choice. If he didn't continue despite the Sinful Saintess, his chances of winning this duel would be nearly zero.

He needed to grab the first turn, and only in the best of luck scenarios did they have a slight chance of beating the opponents. Now, if the Sinful Saintess takes away the first-turn advantage, there is no need for any struggle.

As Tan Song continued despite the Sinful Saintess, Shen Sui was slightly nervous inside.

Although the effect of the Sinful Saintess allows Shen Sui to draw a card from his deck whenever Tan Song special summons, at the same time, there is a cost, which is taking 500 points of damage.

To prevent himself from being countered and utilizing Sinful Saintess' effect to draw himself to death, Shen Sui added a clause in the Sinful Saintess' effect: When your Life Value due to this follower's ② effect is ≤ 500 or the number of 0-star Life Cards in your hand is equal to 10, the current chain must be terminated, discard all cards in hand, and special summon the follower from your graveyard to your field, after which you can exclude up to X Life Cards in the opponent's field or hand (X is the number of cards discarded due to this effect).

However, in the two-person duel mode, both parties have a Life Value of 16000, so those 500 points of damage will barely bring Life Value below 500 anytime soon.

By comparison, it's actually more feasible to achieve 10 0-star Life Cards.

But Tan Song also seemed to have noticed this, very precisely controlling the number of Spell Cards used.

Under the circumstance of no infinite chaining, even with the support of 16000 Life Value, it's challenging for Tan Song to special summon to the extent that Anna also gets special summoned.

Therefore, his focus wasn't on how to drain Shen Sui's deck, but rather to make an excellent setup—at least one that can withstand Shen Sui's first turn.

Because of the Sinful Saintess effect, Shen Sui's hand now held several powerful Life Cards, and if the setup couldn't withstand the next turn, it would essentially mean a loss.

After all, it's an acknowledged fact that Tang Lili doesn't have much battle power.

This is not due to disdain for Tang Lili; the main reason is that her dueling style is truly unsuitable for doubles.

Soon, Tan Song's turn came to an end.

Despite always having his first Life Card effect negated by eating a [Sinful Saintess·Anna] from Shen Sui, Tan Song's strength was evident, bravely withstanding the pressure of the Sinful Saintess to bring about a rather impressive setup.

[Cyan Robe Sword Immortal·Xu Qingyin], as long as he is on the field, the first Spell Card activated by the opponent each turn is negated and destroyed, and for every special summon by the opponent, the Spirit Value increases by 500 points.
