Chapter 1099: Chapter 616: Shen Sui, Let’s Duel

Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala and Elf Queen Freymia both are very close to Shen Sui, and now with the addition of Blood Race True Ancestor Isabella, Shen Sui’s identity is all but revealed.

Twilight Bishop Claude!

Thinking this way, it’s very reasonable for Shen Sui to raise an Alice.

After all, the previous prodigy trained by Twilight Bishop was the Twilight Saintess Vivian, who brought the gods to their twilight!

Upon guessing Shen Sui’s true identity, Zhang Fang immediately submitted the investigation report to the committee. Anyone familiar with the history of Dawn Continent remains fearful and wary of the power of the Twilight Bishop.

This is someone who treats 15th-tier gods like pigs ready for slaughter.

However, unlike previous investigation reports on Extraordinary powers, the committee’s attitude this time is quite ambivalent.

The Shen Sui family is just too terrifying. Considering they never showed any malicious intent, the higher-ups decided: I didn’t see anything.

Since you don’t show any desire to exhibit Extraordinary powers in the real world, we’ll treat you like a normal person.

What Twilight Bishop? I didn’t see anything.

The real world can be like this, but here is the buffer zone.

Even you can temporarily acquire your powers from the Soul Card World using the Dueling Device, there’s no reason Shen Sui couldn’t do the same.

Upon hearing that the opponent is strong, Jia Yi suddenly became interested: "Can we invite them to our world to clear the Evil Ghosts?"

Clearing the Evil Ghosts is Jia Yi’s dream.

He’s sacrificed a lot for this dream.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fang paused in silence for a few seconds.

"Do you really know the price of clearing the Evil Ghosts?"

"So what? Shouldn’t the Evil Ghosts be cleared?"

Zhang Fang sighed.

During his time as a professional Life Card Master, he and Jia Yi were perfectly in harmony, believing that purely evil entities like Evil Ghosts shouldn’t exist in this world. Their seamless cooperation elevated both of their powers.

But after joining the Exploration Bureau and gradually becoming its director, seeing countless reports on World No. 17 left Zhang Fang silent.

Simply put, clearing the Evil Ghosts for the Extraordinary of World No. 17 would mean ending their own existence. Their Extraordinary powers come from the Evil Ghosts, and their elevated status results from the Evil Ghosts’ rampage. If the Evil Ghosts were cleared, to continue living they would have to become new Evil Ghosts, consuming human hearts and lungs to sustain life.

"Are you going to start persuading me too?" Jia Yi suddenly asked while walking forward.

Zhang Fang sighed deeply and said: "No. If you truly insist on your ideas, then perhaps I can help you invite them. If he is indeed the Twilight Bishop, perhaps he really can accomplish this."

"That’s wonderful!" Jia Yi laughed heartily, "So let me see today, how capable this super strong figure truly is!"

As Jia Yi’s words faded, an explosion echoed in the distance.

Soon enough, the two of them saw a mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

Zhang Fang was dumbfounded at this sight.

This was also his first time witnessing the full spectacle of an explosion outside of a nuclear fireball’s blast radius.

Good heavens! I’ve only seen this on TV.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Zhang Fang’s forehead.

He recalled Shen Sui’s performance during the entrance exam, where Alice was just a fledgling beginner Mage, yet now she could manually conjure a nuclear bomb.

And...

Remembering the previous test where Alice wiped them out fourteen times consecutively, was this attack her basic strike?

Nuclear bomb as a basic strike, that’s quite absurd.

Seeing the explosion in the distance, Jia Yi grew even more excited and turned to rush toward the source of the blast.

"Wait a minute!" Glancing at the survival values on the Dueling Device, the recent explosion had already wiped out a third of the personnel, Zhang Fang frowned.

Alice is a Mage, Jia Yi is a Swordsman. Professionally, with his super speed, Jia Yi is definitely a nemesis to Alice.

But the temporary test aims at dueling Shen Sui... no, it’s at testing the assessment standards; at times like this, it’s more appropriate to look for Shen Sui’s whereabouts. Once Shen Sui is defeated, naturally, the situation with Alice will be resolved.

As they spoke, a mushroom cloud rose once more in the distance.

It’s clear Alice has found their respawn point again.

Though the personnel dispersed immediately this time, preventing another squad wipe, if they continued dragging it out, they’d end up facing the same scenario as before.

From information sent from various Life Card Masters through the Dueling Device, it was apparent that a large number of Puppets had joined the hunt against them.

Absurd.

Witnessing this, Zhang Fang internally screamed ’absurd.’

The Exploration Bureau elite in his eyes—those who had proven their skills through actual combat—were being hunted down by Alice’s Puppets on the same battlefield.

Bear in mind, this is just Alice with panel stats of only twelve stars! If Qishala and Freymia were to join, wouldn’t everyone’s fate be even more tragic?

If they couldn’t even handle a twelve-star opponent, how would they have the confidence to blockade higher-tier enemies in the buffer zone and prevent them from invading the reality in the future?

Considering since the test started until now, it’s been a long time without anyone successfully initiating a forced duel against Alice.

Not even once!

Thinking of this, Zhang Fang’s face quickly turned cold, the attachment to dueling in his mind gradually faded.

Shen Sui and Alice certainly couldn’t completely oppose us, but he couldn’t say for sure enemies like them wouldn’t appear.

In fact, as the buffer plan commenced, the Exploration Bureau simultaneously initiated a documentation plan across various Soul Card Worlds.

The purpose is simple: to document all potential Extraordinary invaders of the real world.

Thus, Life Card Masters entering the buffer zone for combat could formulate targeted battle strategies with great precision.

And among these archives, there are many Extraordinary capable of combat methods similar to Alice’s. They might not be as powerful as Alice, but if they were to be dealt with in the current manner displayed today, even victory would come at a colossal loss.

Clearly, the immediate implementation of planning for the documentation of Life Card Masters and Soul Cards in the real world and building a rational matching system is imperative.

[Found Shen Sui!]

Just as Zhang Fang was devising a plan for the future, a message popped up on the public screen of the Dueling Device, quickly accompanied by synchronized coordinates.

Zhang Fang’s eyes lit up, immediately clicking on the Dueling Device.

With the entry of Soul Card World’s powers, he felt his body much lighter.

Without hesitation, Zhang Fang, along with Jia Yi, charged toward the coordinates.

Shen Sui looked at the continually rising mushroom cloud in the distance and couldn’t help but grumble: "Alice, that one, I’ve told her not to cause such a commotion."

Saying this, he glanced at Wang Ming before him, already kneeling and panting, as his body continued to dissipate due to losing the duel.

"Didn’t expect I could only last one round..." Wang Ming said bitterly.

Shen Sui consoled: "One round is already quite amazing. Some people lose before they even start their round."

Wang Ming’s lip twitched: "Is this supposed to comfort me?"

"Uh... I’m simply stating the facts. Besides, your skills in dueling are indeed lacking," Shen Sui said.

Speechless, Wang Ming replied: "Only you have the right to say that to me."

As he finished speaking, his body completely vanished.

It’s likely, when he opens his eyes again, the only thing he’d see is a fireball tossed by Alice above him.

That little lass, learning all sorts only to pick up the nasty tactic of camping respawn points.

Internally, Shen Sui grumbled.

Suddenly, a scarlet blade appeared before his eyes.

The metal, heated by high-speed air slicing, turned red-hot.

Shen Sui raised his hand, pinching the blade, ready to grumble when Zhang Fang’s voice echoed:

"Shen Sui, duel!"
