CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: MY DECK FAR SURPASSES YOURS!

Among Life Card Masters in the Soul Card World, exchanging cards is actually quite common because Life Cards of the same attribute are mostly interchangeable in the Soul Card World.

Shen Sui agreed to the deal with Yue Tao without hesitation.

This card, the Elemental Wheel of Magic Conversion, is a very powerful Life Card.

Looking at the card name, Shen Sui roughly guessed that Yue Tao was trying to find cards with the same field to form a deck.

After saying goodbye to Yue Tao, Shen Sui picked up his package and returned to the dormitory. After fiddling around for a while, he finally owned the first computer in this world.

The internet in this world is also very developed, forming a huge ecosystem around the Life Card System.

There are also a large number of forums related to Life Cards on the internet.

Logically speaking, in such an advanced network society, hot events often come and go quickly. But what surprised Shen Sui a little was that his popularity on the internet still showed no signs of waning.

This is mainly because the genius girl named Xinyuan Yingxue became famous by defeating a fifth-rank Life Card Master head-on, and under the operation of the Xingyuan Clan, she has been trending heavily on social media in recent days. Whether it’s participating in a competition here and winning the championship or competing there against a sixth-rank Life Card Master evenly.

The intensity of this trending gave Shen Sui a faint feeling similar to seeing a former traffic star.

This behavior naturally caused some netizens’ dissatisfaction.

We want to see world-class duels, to see the information of world championships, why are you, a little girl without a ranking, always in front of us?

Genius?

Is this world lacking geniuses?

Over in Japan, a high school student has already won the national championship, while you’re not even professional. How can you have the nerve to be high-profile on social media?

So, there was a lot of backlash.

Then some curious netizens dug out Shen Sui to compare with Xinyuan Yingxue.

Having both beaten a fifth-rank Life Card Master, she’s a genius girl, then this Shen Sui is also a genius!

Shen Sui looked at this series of confrontations, feeling like an accidental victim, both amused and helpless.

However, Xinyuan Yingxue...

His mind suddenly conjured up the unkempt appearance of Xinyuan Tanchun.

The surname Xinyuan is pitifully rare in Huaxia, except for descendants of Ryukyu and a few in the northeast, so seeing the same surname, it’s not surprising to first think of their relationship.

Sisters?

Shen Sui scrolled the mouse.

As Lin Ke’Er said, there’s indeed the least information about World No. 1 in this world.

Although the highest combat power is not as good as the Mythical World, the danger and chaos level of Dawn Continent in World No. 1 is renowned in the Soul Card World, even those apocalyptic zombie worlds are not as terrifying as Dawn Continent.

Shen Sui stroked his chin and glanced at the current world rankings.

The first place is Theis Malfoy from the United States, who recently defeated You Wenqi, a ninth-rank Life Card Master from China, and won the new Thor Cup championship.

The second place is You Wenqi, the runner-up of the Thor Cup, currently the strongest Life Card Master in Huaxia. However, dominating most domestic national-level competitions, You Wenqi always comes in second at the world championships. You might say he’s weak, but he always makes it to the world championship finals. You might say he’s strong, but for so many years, he hasn’t won a single world-class championship, instead, during the months he was on break for his wife’s childbirth, a ninth-rank Life Card Master named Tan Song from China surprisingly won the world-class Azure Dragon Cup, making You Wenqi’s runner-up status even more prominent.

The third place is Dongye Youzai from Japan, a powerful Life Card Master who won two world-class championships last year. After receiving a head-on blow by forming a Forbidden Card with half a deck, he went dormant for more than half a year, finally returning with recent performances in world championships, climbing back into the top three in world rankings.

In a world where Life Card Duels are extraordinarily flourishing, numerous competitions are held daily.

Store competitions, amateur cups, professional leagues, professional cups...

Among them, world-class competitions are classified as A-level events, while national-level competitions are divided into A and B classes according to their intensity and entry restrictions. Some smaller regional professional competitions are all C-level events.

The prize money for these competitions is very generous.

Due to the strong duel atmosphere among the public, hosting duel competitions has become the fastest and best promotional method. Big companies are keen to spend money to organize competitions, and even the prize money for some amateur competitions is higher than that of C-level competitions, spawning a group of professional amateur duel players who specifically participate in amateur competitions for prize money.

After all, amateur events generally don’t have high intensity.

This kind of professional amateur duel player often has the strength of a professional first or second rank, completely dominating in amateur events. The most famous one seems to be a person named Yuan Youxin, widely referred to by netizens as the Amateur Duel King.

Of course, these are still very distant from Shen Sui, a novice without a ranking.

What he mainly needs to check is the hosting location of the Chosen Cup—yes, Xinyuan Tanchun told him everything except where he should go to compete.

The next day, when Shen Sui emerged from the subway station, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

It was a crowd as far as the eye could see.

These were all spectators who came to watch the competition.

Can an amateur cup attract so many spectators?

This might have something to do with the Chosen Cup being open to spectators for free. But it shows the people’s enthusiasm for Life Card Duels in this world.

Shen Sui exerted all his might to squeeze into the crowd and arrived at the event’s guide station.

Even though it was an amateur cup, the organizers at Tianyi Park had arranged the venue at a level akin to a major competition, from guidance to the competition area’s style, emphasizing professionalism and high-end quality.

The preliminaries consisted of ten rounds in total, and whether one enters the elimination rounds is decided based on the number of wins.

A total of eight contestants will advance to the final knockout rounds.

If more than eight contestants go undefeated, they will continue to duel until only eight remain.

Most participants in the competition were duel enthusiasts. With Shen Sui’s almost perfected deck, winning against these opponents was fairly easy, achieving nine consecutive victories, averaging three turns per match.

He sat on the dueling platform, playing with the Soul Points Card in his hand.

"Are you Shen Sui?"

A strange voice came.

Shen Sui looked at the person. He had a handsome face and was dressed well, just having a bit of a silly aura.

He found it hard to describe this feeling.

How should he put it... the person seemed like the naive rich type, easy to deceive.

"I’ve watched your duel videos on video platforms." The person skillfully sat opposite Shen Sui and then took out a number card.

He was Shen Sui’s opponent for the last preliminaries match.

"Your chain is powerful. But I’m sorry," the person said, confidently holding his waist, "today’s duel is mine to win. Because my deck will far surpass yours!"

"Oh?" Shen Sui became curious.

"Let me show you!" The person took out a deck from his dueling device, carefully and respectfully placing it on the table as if worshiping Buddha, "I spent a fortune to buy this, Dongye Youzai’s banned half-deck."

"Every card in here is a Forbidden Card!"

"So, do you think it surpasses you?"
