After a brief silence, the audience erupted into enthusiastic applause.

Although this duel ended very quickly and seemed to lack any passion, the audience saw something different in it.

This was a completely different style.

It wasn't that Shen Sui's silent duel style; many just thought it was the nervousness of a rookie student entering a professional match for the first time.

What truly excited the audience was the deck strategy Shen Sui displayed in this duel.

No more field setups!

Starting the duel by covering the field with cards, and whoever covered it more would eventually win; there had been too many such matches, and they were no longer worth watching.

But this duel, although short and ending suddenly.

Shen Sui won with only one follower remaining.

This was very rare in previous matches.

A completely different deck style from the mainstream, yet it showed a certain strength.

If someone claimed Shen Sui only won against Xu Tianzhi because of luck, then after today, Shen Sui, who crushed a fifth-tier Life Card Master, will undoubtedly be considered to have the strength of a fifth-tier Life Card Master, or perhaps even surpassed that level.

This guy is only eighteen, and his potential is incredibly vast for the future!

Furthermore, Alice's looks definitely added to Shen Sui's rapidly rising popularity in no time at all.

As soon as the duel ended, the video of the duel appeared online.

"Wow, such a straightforward style," someone marveled, as in the current professional environment, those high-tier Life Card Masters, responding to the cheers of their fans, often perform extra moves just when they're about to win. This, of course, draws rounds of applause from fans, but it also draws disdain from many pure duel enthusiasts.

Of course, if these extra moves end up causing the player to fail, everyone would harshly mock the player, and this scene would become part of their permanent dark history.

Unfortunately, it seems that no such failures have happened so far.

After all, in mainstream duel strategies, when the Life Card Master is about to win a duel, the opponent has often exhausted their resources and has no means of resistance left.

In such an environment, Shen Sui's style, which gets straight to the point and finishes off cleanly at the finishing line, indeed feels quite refreshing.

[These cards are just too strong.]

And at such times, there are always some discordant voices appearing.

[Yes, yes, I feel like these cards are bound to get banned sooner or later, especially that card "Give Me Money," which demands 5 Soul Points; if it's not banned, there's no justice.]

[You guys are such idiots, always calling for cards to be banned, aren't you? A bunch of useless persons who keep reporting others' cards with household registrations on one page.]

The foul-mouthed bro jumps right into the fray.

[I just made a comment, and you're upset already? You aren't possibly a fan of Shen Sui, are you? Oh, oh, oh, your master hasn't even called, and the dog has already barked.] An opponent jumps in with a familiar hand-holding tactic.

[Dog barking again?]

[Dog, don't wimp out!]

....

Of course, Shen Sui didn't know that at this very moment on the real-world internet, a protracted verbal war was happening because of him.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the deck was strong enough to give him the chance to end the duel quickly.

In fact, if not for calculating the finishing damage to find it was short a thousand points, Shen Sui wouldn't have bothered to stack three more followers to waste time.

Freymia, watching Shen Sui from the side, chuckled, "Looks like you really enjoy card duels even in reality."

She certainly noticed that Shen Sui wasn't having the duel on the Dawn Continent.

This made her even more curious about what kind of world Shen Sui's real world was.

But, given how strong Claude is, his real world must also be a dangerous place, right?

After all, if the world weren't dangerous, how could a hero as formidable as Shen Sui be born?

Just a projection is so strong; one wonders how mighty the real Claude must be.

Freymia fantasized, her heart filled with hope.

If only I had the chance to visit Claude's real world.

She was well aware that the Claude in the Dawn Continent was just a projection.

Yet she hopelessly fell in love with this man.

The feeling of being unable to truly possess him drove Freymia mad.

"Freymia, don't get distracted." Shen Sui reminded Freymia who was daydreaming, "Maintain the domain."

After unsealing Vivian, Freymia regained her original strength, with not even a slight period of weakness in between, showing that Freymia had long prepared the means to break the seal.

As the longest-reigning Elf Empress, Freymia was also known as the strongest generation of elves in these recent millennia.

Her domain rapidly expanded, complementing the Natural Holy Tree, encompassing the entire Elf Forest within.

If Freymia's domain lasted long, naturally, the Boundary-breaking Worms would gnaw through it, but it didn't matter, as just a little time was enough.

Shen Sui gave Freymia a thumbs up, and then he immediately broke through the world's barrier, opening a gap in the Natural Holy Tree.

Numerous Boundary-breaking Worms swarmed in through this gap.

"Damn it! How did it come to this?" Lina, who was in front resisting the invasion of the Boundary-breaking Worms, was stunned by the scene.

But the next moment, she sensed a familiar wave of magic power.

All nearby Elemental Empresses sensed a similar wave.

Has the master returned?

Lina joyfully looked toward the source of the power.

The Spring of Eternal Life.

Freymia?

Huh?!

Why is the master with Freymia?

Freymia was personally sealed by Lady Vivian!

Lina thought of this first and foremost.

Will the lady be angry?

But now is not the time for things of sentimental value.

As Elemental Empresses who fought alongside Shen Sui against the extraterritorial realms, they immediately guessed the master's intention.

The best way to deal with the Boundary-breaking Worms is to defeat their empress as quickly as possible.

Such an act of breaking the jar was clearly to summon the Broken Boundary Empress.

The surrounding elves went into chaos the moment the world's barrier was broken.

They had lived in peace in the Elf Forest for a thousand years, with no wars and no disputes, and those who mustered the courage to fight against the Boundary-breaking Worms did so for the Holy Tree.

But now, the scene of Boundary-breaking Worms breaking through the barrier and pouring in was enough to break many elves.

The young elves merely began to cry.

However, the Boundary-breaking Worms bypassed them, surging toward the Spring of Eternal Life as though something there attracted them even more.
