By ten o'clock in the evening, spectators had already started to leave.

Although Modu is a city with a vibrant nightlife, quite a few spectators still prefer a normal routine.

This gave Shen Sui a seat as well.

Xinyuan Tanchun's opponent this time was a veteran seventh-rank Life Card Master, who had won nineteen C-class competitions and three B-class competitions, making them a formidable adversary.

However, due to the style of their deck and their ordinary appearance, this contestant didn't have many fans, not even as many as Xinyuan Tanchun.

Though Xinyuan Tanchun isn't fond of dressing up, her natural beauty still attracted a lot of fans.

It would be impossible to say Xinyuan Tanchun wasn't nervous.

Even though her points were sufficient, who wouldn't want to advance further in a match?

With the referee's command, the final duel of today officially began.

"My turn!" Xinyuan Tanchun shouted, obtaining the first move.

Xinyuan Tanchun's deck was quite different from the mainstream swarm strategy, with no extensive builds in a single turn.

Although Isabella is a True Ancestor of Vampires, she has been drifting around the continent for a thousand years with few decent subordinates. Under such circumstances, acquiring numerous Follower Cards was very difficult for Xinyuan Tanchun.

Thus, most of the followers in her deck were acquired through trading.

When she was still with the Xingyuan Clan, because she chose a different Soul Card World than the clan's traditional Soul Card World, the Xingyuan Clan cut off her support, forcing her to earn all her cards by herself.

During that period, Xinyuan Tanchun participated in numerous amateur competitions to earn prizes. Although her deck composition was skewed, she still achieved many victories thanks to Isabella's strength.

Purchasing Follower Cards with prize money and then using a reinforced deck to earn more prizes became Xinyuan Tanchun's method of building her deck in a world where Life Card production was scarce.

As a result, Xinyuan Tanchun's follower composition is far more diverse than Shen Sui's. Her deck includes the True Ancestor of Vampires from World No. 1, Vampire Beasts from World No. 10, Vampire Monsters from World No. 11...

However, Xinyuan Tanchun was very clever, cleverly encapsulating the characteristics of Isabella into a "Vampire" attribute for her gathered followers, granting her deck some expansion ability, although it can't compare to native swarm decks, at least she doesn't have to worry about losing due to a lack of followers.

Moreover, Xinyuan Tanchun had no intention of going down the swarm path.

In the first turn, even after using three cards, Xinyuan Tanchun had only a single follower on the field.

"Activate the effect of [Vampire Monster·Kazok] on my field," Xinyuan Tanchun declared loudly, "Once per turn, I can Special Summon a [Vampire] follower from my deck."

"I choose to Special Summon on my field! [True Ancestor of Vampires·Isabella]!" Xinyuan Tanchun raised her hand, decisively retrieving her Soul Card from the deck.

No excess words were spoken.

When Isabella opened her eyes amidst the blood, everyone's attention was drawn.

The enchanting girl stood amidst the scarlet pool, yet not a trace of blood stained her body.

Isabella wore a smile at the corner of her lips, radiating disdain for all existence.

[True Ancestor of Vampires·Isabella], Star Level 13, Spirit Value 4900

"Though I don't know who's stronger," Shen Sui heard two spectators discussing beside him, "but I'm now announcing that Ms. Xinyuan will win."

"My turn is over," Xinyuan Tanchun ended her turn by setting a card.

Zhang Feng glanced at Xinyuan Tanchun's simple field and chuckled softly.

It seems, today's match will be an easy win for him.

Thinking this, he drew a card from his deck.

"Pay 6 Soul Points to normal summon, [Shepherd City Fairy·Murong Yue] from my hand."

Zhang Feng directly Normal Summoned a follower from his hand.

"At this moment! Activate the effect of [True Ancestor of Vampires·Isabella] on my field," as the moment arose, Xinyuan Tanchun unhesitatingly activated Isabella's effect, "When the opponent successfully summons or Special Summons a follower, this effect can be triggered; the summoned follower's star level decreases by 1, their Spirit Value drops by 1000, and Isabella's star level rises by 1. If Isabella reaches star level 15, her Spirit Value increases by 500 instead."

Isabella's shadow appeared behind the Shepherd City Fairy, sinking her sharp fangs into the girl's neck.

[Shepherd City Fairy·Murong Yue], Star Level 5, Spirit Value 1400.

[True Ancestor of Vampires·Isabella], Star Level 14, Spirit Value 4900.

"Hmph!" Zhang Feng snorted coldly, firmly activating Murong Yue's effect, "Activate Shepherd City Fairy's effect, once per turn, destroy one follower on your field."

"It's useless!" Xinyuan Tanchun shouted.

Just as she said, when Murong Yue's effect targeted Isabella, nothing happened.

"Isabella is unaffected by card effects from cards with a star level lower than hers," Xinyuan Tanchun explained.

Zhang Feng snorted again, glancing at his hand, then decisively abandoned the notion of using effects to take out the opponent's follower.

He didn't have a 14-star follower, but he possessed a powerful follower capable of accumulating over ten thousand Spirit Value.

He activated a Spell Card, then rapidly began swarming the field.

As a seventh-rank Life Card Master, he had already perfected an optimal field development playset for his deck, not even requiring thought; without interruption from opponent's effects, this setup was stable and orderly.

However, such development merely became Isabella's nourishment.

Isabella's Spirit Value surged to 8400.

"Enter the Battle Phase!"

Zhang Feng chose Isabella to launch an attack.

Yet at this moment, the attacker he declared had only 4000 Spirit Value.

"At this moment! Activate the effect of [Immortal Dust Pride·Murong En] on my field!" Zhang Feng snorted, declaring, "Murong En's Spirit Value increases by an amount equal to the Spirit Value of the attack target during an attack!"

Murong En's Spirit Value rose to 12400 the moment it attacked Isabella.

A flying sword pierced through Isabella's body.

However, Zhang Feng's smile froze at this moment.

Isabella was not destroyed.

"As a mighty Blood Ancestor, Isabella possesses an Undying Body," Xinyuan Tanchun stated calmly, "She won't be destroyed by battle."

"Moreover, when I take battle damage," although Isabella wasn't destroyed, Xinyuan Tanchun indeed took battle damage, "Isabella's effect must activate! I suffered 4000 damage, lowering Isabella's star level by 4."

"When Isabella's star level drops below the initial level, her effect must activate!"

"Destroy all cards on the opponent's field!"

This is the reason why Xinyuan Tanchun could become a sixth-rank Life Card Master and aim for the seventh-rank.

Though she couldn't easily acquire native Life Cards from the Soul Card World,

And her Soul Card had difficulty evolving into other forms,

Her Soul Card was powerful enough!

The mighty Isabella will sweep away every obstacle before her.
