My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 471 - 392: Pre-Match Affairs

Just like how Zhang Fang once shared a lot of low-confidentiality extraordinary incidents with Shen Sui, Shen Sui never investigated any of them.

While they were talking, the performance had already started on stage.

Familiar music began to play, and Shen Sui, who was discussing his match with Tan Song against Dongye Youzai, suddenly perked up his ears.

This lively and cute tune...

These awkwardly cute lyrics that occasionally throw in a "meow"...

And this damn familiar voice?!

Shen Sui suddenly looked up and glanced at the stage where the warm-up performance was happening.

And then, that familiar cat-girl figure appeared in front of Shen Sui.

Tang? Li? Li?!

Shen Sui’s eyes instantly widened.

What the hell?!

"Wow! It’s actually them!" Tan Song recognized the song the moment he heard it. He quickly turned around, looking at the stage, with a grin almost reaching his ears, "It’s really them!"

"You’re into cat-girls?" Shen Sui blurted out.

Tan Song instantly realized something and immediately retracted his gaze, the lurker look on his face quickly turned serious: "What are you talking about? Don’t talk nonsense! That’s slander, you know!"

Shen Sui squinted his eyes.

Tan Song felt a bit awkward under the scrutiny.

"Whose fan are you?"

Tan Song still wouldn’t admit it.

Shen Sui quickly withdrew his gaze. He had thought Tan Song was about to make a mistake, given that this guy was a married man and a ninth-rank Life Card Master, a big deal in the eyes of these little idols.

But the scrutiny just now confirmed to Shen Sui that Tan Song was simply an idol chaser.

After the cat-girls finished their performance, the Class C competition officially began.

Shen Sui glanced at the list of competition participants, Tang Lili wasn’t among them, and after checking the match announcements, he found that she was knocked out in the fourth round of the preliminaries.

Even though she didn’t make it to the main competitions, this was actually quite a good result on a national scale. After all, among the many junior Life Card Masters nationwide, only sixteen participants could enter the main event of the Huashan Invitational. Tang Lili being knocked out in the fourth round of the preliminaries meant she at least displayed quite a decent performance in this competition.

However, Shen Sui suddenly had a rather absurd idea: This girl, Tang Lili, aspiring to become a ninth-rank Life Card Master, might in the end walk onto the stage of the world competition as an idol?

With the current trend of her idol group, that’s quite likely.

But for Tang Lili, it seemed a bit too cruel.

After all, she really loved Life Card Duels.

The participants of the Class C match truly are surprising with their imagination.

Shen Sui underestimated these amazing junior Life Card Masters.

Take this round’s competitors for example.

At first, they were summoning cute and cuddly 1-star followers, and each round ball gave Shen Sui a familiar feeling.

Whether it’s the audience in the stands or his opponent, they all felt this kid came to mess around. It’s not that we look down on 1-star followers, but if you keep summoning 1-star followers without a follow-up big shot, what are you trying to do?

Then in the next second, this guy sent all the 1-star followers on the field to the graveyard, and pulled out a 13-star monster with a spirit value of 5000 from his hand.

What the hell, the Life Card Duel version of Chestnut Ball of Despair?

Looking at the suddenly revealed 5000 attack big shot, although its strength was lacking, the impact it brought was impressive enough.

Could this also be a card that brings despair to opponents?

Shen Sui joked in his mind.

However, to make it to the knockout rounds of the Huashan Invitational, even a fourth-rank Life Card Master must have some level of skill.

In the brief chaos that ensued, his opponent quickly countered and directly neutralized the big shot he had summoned.

Then came garbage time, although there was some resistance, ultimately a result was reached.

Looking at the defeated competitor leaving the stage, Shen Sui suddenly thought that maybe he could play this type of shocking entrance full of contrast in his own deck.

Like how small animals operate Gundams.

After all, Alice had been planning to create "Gundam" puppets earlier, and since his deck was filled with weak 5-star puppets, having them operate "Gundams" wasn’t impossible either.

Shen Sui’s thoughts started to wander aimlessly.

"Are you listening to me?" Shen Sui felt someone talking to him.

Shen Sui turned around to see Zhou Keji’s pristine face.

The impact of that moment startled Shen Sui.

"Damn! Coming out to scare people at night, huh?" Shen Sui said grumpily.

Zhou Keji was even more enraged: "Damn it, you really weren’t listening to me earlier!"

Shen Sui first wondered why Zhou Keji was bothering him before the competition.

Then he thought, why should he care about what this guy says?

So he casually retorted: "What’s there to listen to from the likes of you?"

"You! You! Fine!" Zhou Keji, furious to the point of laughter, said, "Don’t think just because you luckily beat me once, you can be so arrogant. In today’s match, I’ll let you taste the bitterness of defeat!"

Finishing his words, Zhou Keji turned and left the spectators’ area.

Xinyuan Tanchun, watching Zhou Keji leave, approached Shen Sui: "During the competition, be mindful of your language." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Why?" Shen Sui asked curiously.

"This guy clearly came to provoke you, to induce you to say excessively crude words during the match." Xinyuan Tanchun explained, "This way, combined with some rhetoric, it turns into you being arrogant and rude, bullying this poor, weak Life Card Master, and then mobilizing his fans to cyberbully you."

"Huh?" Shen Sui was puzzled, "What did he say earlier? I really didn’t hear him."

Xinyuan Tanchun sighed: "Just think of it as standard villain pre-match taunting from urban entertainment novel plotlines."

Shen Sui said helplessly: "What is this, when did Life Card Duels become part of the entertainment industry?"

"Oh, by the way." Xinyuan Tanchun decided not to affect Shen Sui’s pre-match mood and was going to share something interesting, "Speaking of the Zhou Family, I heard some interesting gossip recently, want to hear it?"

That tone, that expression, clearly resembled a girl gossiping.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the referee came over to inform Shen Sui it was time to prepare for his match.

"Tell me after the match." Shen Sui waved his hand, following the referee out.

Huashan Invitational Class B, Quarter-Finals first match, Shen Sui vs. Zhou Keji.
