His opening hand consists of five Follower Cards.

Admittedly, in the current deck composition, drawing five Follower Cards at the start requires a bit of luck.

But this is useless to Shen Sui.

There's no Sacrificial Puppet Ada + Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala in it.

As long as he has these two cards in hand, Shen Sui is confident he can take down most opponents at this stage.

Qishala must liberate five of his own Followers to be normally summoned.

And the effect of Sacrificial Puppet Ada is that when successfully summoned, a Sacrificial Puppet Derivative is generated in each empty slot of the Follower Area, perfectly aligning with Qishala's summoning effect.

Shen Sui plans to further develop this combination in the future.

But a strategy is just a strategy; if you can't draw the cards, it's all useless.

He glanced at Yuan Youxin's field.

Shen Sui felt his next draw becoming particularly heavy.

If he doesn't draw the card he needs to clear the field, he'll have to switch to defense and rely on the Follower Cards in hand to bide his time until a miracle draw.

"Draw!" Shen Sui shouted loudly.

He has discovered that shouting in a Life Card Duel seems to be effective.

According to online comments, the more juvenile the shouting, the more effective it seems.

What kind of setting is this, seriously?

While mentally complaining about this bizarre setting, Shen Sui looked at the card he drew.

Enchanting Speech.

Looking at this drawn card, Shen Sui's pupils shrank slightly.

Here it is~!

The miracle draw that every duelist constantly hopes for!

Holy sh*t! Shouting "Draw" actually works!

Without any hesitation, Shen Sui immediately played the card in his hand: "My turn begins! At this moment! I pay 12 Soul Points to activate from my hand, Spell Card Enchanting Speech!"

As he activated it, a phantom appeared on Shen Sui's field.

She seemed to be waving her arms, seemingly shouting something.

Is she shouting?

Is she calling out?

Yuan Youxin watched Shen Sui warily.

A 12-star Spell Card, not a single one is simple.

******

Card Name: Enchanting Speech

Category: Spell Card

Star Level: 12 Stars

Effect: Can only be activated once per duel; at the start of your main phase, you can reveal all cards in your hand to your opponent, forcing your opponent to discard all Follower Cards from your hand. Then you can choose up to X Followers on the opponent's field to activate and gain control of the selected Followers. (X is the number of cards discarded due to this effect.)

Followers controlled by this method lose all effects until they return to their owner's field.

******

Although he was mentally prepared, when Yuan Youxin saw the effect of this card, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

This is a counter card, right?

This is definitely a counter card, isn't it?

It seems I set up my field just for you, huh?

Don't panic!

Yuan Youxin quickly adjusted his mindset.

The number of Follower Cards that Enchanting Speech can gain control of depends on the number of Follower Cards in Shen Sui's hand.

I have four Followers on the field, excluding Yuan Butong, who will be sent to the graveyard at the end of the turn.

And Shen Sui, last turn, just discarded a Sinful Saintess Anna; excluding the Enchanting Speech he just drew and activated immediately, the remaining four cards are all his starting hand.

You can't tell me that his starting hand consists of five Follower Cards, right?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Then, Yuan Youxin saw Shen Sui's revealed hand.

Alice's Little Mare, Substitute Puppet Jamie, Knight of Daylight Oshana, Holy Child Elf Aina.

"..." Yuan Youxin's eyelid twitched wildly, somewhat unable to hold it in.

"Holy....crap~!!!!"

This is just too fake, isn't it!

"You jerk, are you playing god-tier cards here?" Yuan Youxin shouted.

This move is enough to put Yuan Youxin in a desperate situation.

The combined Spirit Value of his four Followers just hits the 6000 lethal line.

Shen Sui very innocently said, "To be fair, if it weren't for the miracle draw, I'd be stuck here, right?"

"Enough talking, discard the cards!" Shen Sui displayed his hand, indicating for Yuan Youxin to discard the Follower Cards among them.

What choices did Yuan Youxin have? He could only discard all of Shen Sui's hand.

"Then, I'll gain control of the four Followers on your field." Shen Sui gleefully gathered all the followers on Yuan Youxin's field into his fold.

You worked hard on your turn, only to end up making a wedding dress for me.

Seeing the smug Shen Sui, Yuan Youxin was infuriated.

But!

It's not over yet!

A true duelist does not succumb to something as shitty as luck!

"At this moment!" Yuan Youxin shouted, "Activate the effect of my Soul Card in the graveyard!"

With Yuan Youxin's voice, Yuan Butong in the graveyard suddenly displayed a brand-new form.

Form transformation of a grave effect?

"During the opponent's turn, when I have no Followers on my field, I can transform Yuan Butong in the graveyard into Cyan Seal Tomb Raider Yuan Butong and special summon it to the field!"

With the dark background sound, amidst the suffocating darkness, a hand emerged from the ground.

The battered Yuan Butong crawled out from the graveyard.

He finally understood that even as the first disciple, he was still a pawn of the sect, a disposable existence in the eyes of the sect.

There was no hatred in his eyes, only calmness.

This was a calmness that saw through everything in the world.

If that's the case, then let me be the one to bury the Cyan Seal.

The first step, become the Sect Leader of the Cyan Seal Sect....

"Activate the effect of Cyan Seal Tomb Raider Yuan Butong." Yuan Youxin shouted, "Randomly special summon Cyan Seal Followers from the graveyard until the number is equal to the opponents' followers on the field."

Yuan Youxin special summoned three Followers from the graveyard.

However, the newly summoned Followers by Yuan Youxin had lower Spirit Values than those taken by the bull, but they were enough to withstand Shen Sui's direct attack.

But the Followers special summoned by Yuan Butong would return to the graveyard at the end of the turn....

But it doesn't matter!

Yuan Youxin's eyes shone; fortunately, he made ample preparations, or he would have been killed by that damn lucky draw again!

"At this moment, activate the effect of Anna in the graveyard." After lifting the Sealed Tomb, Anna's effect continued, allowing Shen Sui to draw a card from the deck and lose 500 life points.

"Then! Flip open the face-down card!"

"Activate the Spell Card Cyan Seal Treasure: Heaven's Choice!"

Yuan Youxin flipped open the only face-down card on the field.

This is a 12-star Spell Card.

After all the storytelling, still having 12 Soul Points to go and cover a card, the strength of Yuan Youxin's deck is evident.

"This card can only be activated during the opponent's turn, select a Spell Card from both players' decks, graveyards, and banished zones, and add it to my hand."

Yuan Youxin understood that the first turn had already overextended his ability to expand, and if he didn't find a way, even surviving this turn with the Soul Card effect, he would have little means against his Followers in the next turn.

But, fortunately, during the urgent search for Shen Sui's dueling information before the match, he happened upon a very suitable card.

"I choose to gain the Spell Card from your deck...Return!" Yuan Youxin shouted.

Spell Card Return, send all Followers back to their owner's field.

This duel, I've won!

"At this moment, activate Anna's effect." Shen Sui activated Anna's effect again, "When you successfully activate a Spell Card, you must activate it; I reveal a card from my hand to reduce the card's star level to 0."

"It's useless; victory in this duel is already mine!" Yuan Youxin declared his victory.

Shen Sui only had one card in hand, which was drawn through Anna's effect when Yuan Youxin's Soul Card activated its special summoning effect.

Shen Sui revealed this card.

******

Card Name: Defiance and Betrayal

Category: Event Card

Star Level: 12 Stars

Effect: After activation until the end of the second opponent's turn or replaced by another Event Card, neither player can declare an attack, and at the end of both players' Battle Phases, all Followers controlled by the turn owner perform a direct attack on its owner.

******

"It seems you still don't understand...."

Shen Sui raised his hand, slamming the Defiance and Betrayal card onto the field.

A 0-star card requires no payment of any costs.

"In that case, let's have a grand defiance and betrayal."

"From my hand, activate, Event Card!"

"Defiance and Betrayal!"
