As the turn card fell, Shen Sui's team gained the first move in this duel.

However, to An Hai's surprise, the one responsible for the first move was actually Bai Ye.

Although Bai Ye is an eighth-tier Life Card Master, at least An Hai believes her strength is not as strong as Shen Sui's.

After all, for An Hai, defeating Bai Ye isn't much of an issue, but to defeat the current Shen Sui would require an extremely lucky situation given his current deck strength.

Although two-person duel mode is completely different from the regular mode, first move is extremely important in any duel. Generally, it is customary to leave the opportunity of the first move to the stronger member of the team.

An Hai and Ji Bubai strategized under this premise, too.

If they got the first move, what tactic to use to limit Shen Sui's subsequent move; if Shen Sui's side got the first move, how to counter Shen Sui's initial field.

For this reason, they specifically added counter cards against Shen Sui's Dragon Race deck.

Because of this, when they saw Bai Ye taking the first move, they were momentarily dumbfounded.

Bai Ye completely disregarded her opponents' thoughts and began her first move according to her deck's style.

She couldn't quite understand why Shen Sui would give her the first move opportunity; if he wanted to win, Shen Sui having the first move clearly had a better chance.

The combination of [Dragon Conqueror Qishala] + [Realm-Breaking Elf King Freymia] is evidently more suppressive than the initial field she could create.

Bai Ye was very aware that although her rank was slightly higher than Shen Sui's, Shen Sui was undoubtedly the backbone of this temporarily formed team.

Of course, in such a critical match, listening to the backbone would definitely not lead to problems.

What Bai Ye didn't know was that Shen Sui gave her the first move opportunity purely because he had too many duels with the first move these past few days and wanted to put some pressure on himself.

Oh, and the other reason was that he just saw some fan support and planned to give back to his fans in a way unique to Life Card Masters.

And this method couldn't be used during the first move.

Unlike Shen Sui's ever-changing front-line strategies, most Life Card Masters' duel strategies and styles don't vary much over a period.

Even top duelists like An Hai and Bai Ye are similar in this regard.

Thus, Bai Ye's initial field didn't change much compared to before.

A standard setup of three followers and three set cards.

Reaching this stage, Bai Ye still had little confidence internally.

As for An Hai, who would take the stage in the next turn, she once encountered him in professional competitions, where only a faint miracle chance could secure a victory against such a Life Card Master.

Even though she occupied the first move's advantage, Bai Ye was uncertain if she could convert this advantage into victory.

Shen Sui checked the three followers Bai Ye placed in the front and the three set cards in the back.

The Soul Card Cheryl and two Dragon Princesses Bai Ye hadn't used in a duel before.

Shen Sui had seen these two Dragon Princesses in Bai Ye's deck, which she only added before the finals.

Although the All-Star game is for entertainment, it's a national-level competition. Winning a single-mode championship in the All-Star would be quite an achievement for Bai Ye.

The key reason, undoubtedly, was that she didn't want to become a burden to Shen Sui.

The front-line Bai Ye left for Shen Sui counted as quite a decent initial front-line.

The new Dragon Princess Card [Silent Dragon Princess Kari]'s effect forces the Follower activating an effect on the opponent's field into the graveyard when its effect activates. This effect can activate up to five times throughout the duel, with no limit on times per turn.

In other words, if An Hai doesn't find a way to deal with this Silent Dragon Princess, his expansion will be greatly affected.

Of course, Silent Dragon Princess isn't without flaws either. Her effect activation point is when the opponent's Follower Card activates its effect, and the effect does not nullify the opponent's effect. So, even if the opponent's Follower is sent to the graveyard, its activated effect will continue.

The other new Dragon Princess Card [Cold-blooded Dragon Princess Kulin]'s effect purely prevents the opponent from clearing the front-line Bai Ye built with the first move. Once per turn, it can negate the opponent's card effects.

As for the Soul Card Cheryl, even though its form is somewhat useful, it mainly plays a supporting role.

Compared to the front-line's restricting role, the three set cards in the back are mainly search cards for Dragon Race decks, meant for Shen Sui's Life Card usage.

Due to Silent Dragon Princess's debut, the unsuspecting An Hai suffered silently with the first move.

Gazing at his Rose Follower sent to the graveyard by the Silent Dragon Princess, An Hai said softly, "Interesting."

He didn't feel any sorrow for his Follower just sent to the graveyard, directly drawing out another Follower Card.

"Indeed." After this Follower was once again sent to the graveyard by the Silent Dragon Princess, An Hai smiled, "Indeed, it can only take away Followers, without nullifying effects, huh? In that case, you can't stop me."
