Chapter 1170: Chapter 652: Don’t Try This—You’ll Get Stuck (Part 2)

On the other side, the rivalry between You Wenqi and Theis had already entered a heated state.

Neither side wanted to back down; each insisted on being the one to duel Shen Sui.

For a moment, Shen Sui even thought about letting them both have a go.

Fortunately, duelist conflicts are often resolved through a duel.

If one match isn’t enough, then two matches!

Two matches not enough? Then real-life duel.

You just say it’s a duel! You just say it solves things!

In the card-playing groups Shen Sui joined in his past life, such occurrences were frequent.

Whether it’s authentication issues, posting pictures without seeds, all sorts of reasons could turn into excuses for group duels.

Sometimes Shen Sui didn’t even know whether they posted those enticing pictures to lure for a duel or simply for the fun of it.

Well, the most common duel excuse was when the group owner delayed updates, leading group members to initiate a Dark Duel, forcing the owner to add more updates.

Shen Sui still remembers that terrifying night when the poor group owner experienced a whole night of Dark Duels, owing over fifty Chapters the next day.

You Wenqi and Theis naturally chose dueling as a way to resolve their disputes.

Shen Sui watched them enter duel mode, feeling slightly dissatisfied.

What’s the deal...

Clearly, they were all clamoring to duel with me, yet here I am, the one without cards to play.

Shen Sui glanced at Tan Song who was watching the fun beside him.

"Uncle Master." Tan Song hadn’t reacted yet, but Xu Qingyin next to him very decisively saluted Shen Sui.

Uncle Master...

Alright, this title doesn’t seem too faulty.

"Why are you looking at me?" Tan Song felt Shen Sui’s gaze and quickly took a step back, "I’m just here as a bystander."

Shen Sui’s mouth twitched slightly and he commented, "You’re a guy without the Soul of Duels."

Tan Song retorted irritably, "Even the most spirited duelists’ minds would be shattered after having a few duels with you. What kind of Underworld card decks are these?"

"Are they that much like Underworld?" Shen Sui scratched his cheek, apparently lacking any self-awareness.

While talking, Theis and You Wenqi’s duel once again entered a heated stage.

The two were originally opponents with similar styles and strengths.

With opponents like these, victory or defeat often hinges on moments.

The order of activating a card could directly influence the outcome between both sides.

Even the quantities of powerful followers they had seemed to indicate an equally matched situation.

You Wenqi had the Twelve Star Gods and Twelve Zodiac Gods, while Theis seemed to have added some divine cards recently.

Probably acquired during that Mythical World conflict, judging from the names, they likely belong to the Inca Pantheon.

[Inca Mountain God Ken].

[Inca Thunder God Catejil].

[Inca Moon God Contiraya]...

With the appearance of one divine card after another, the two appeared to be in the world tournament, vying for the championship, making the entire duel spectacle dizzyingly colorful.

Those fifteen-star follower cards were astonishingly deployed, making the duel newbie Alice go dumbfounded.

"Is this what a real duel looks like?" Alice came to Shen Sui’s side, pointing at the two duelists, she said, "So cool."

Of course, it’s cool.

Fifteen-star follower cards are the highest level of cards that could appear on the duel field.

Regardless of their effectiveness, their entrance effects are definitely maxed out.

Momentarily, the whole duel realm almost transforms into a brilliant light show, with effects and sounds piled on without mercy.

No wonder the audience loves watching You Wenqi’s duels.

Though the powerful effects might be incomprehensible to them.

The dazzling effects, however, are plainly visible.

Both You Wenqi and Theis are the kind of duelists whose effects are maxed out once they start moving.

Watching their entire duel feels akin to watching a special effect movie.

Just the spectacle itself is worth the ticket price.

So... what’s the cost then?

You Wenqi’s competition experience has shown everyone well.

Powerful cards often come with risks.

Even if their effect text doesn’t say so, the immense summoning cost caused by high-star levels creates a daunting fear known to all duelists:

Card stuck.

"Don’t try to learn." Shen Sui saw the envy in Alice’s eyes and said irritably, "These two guys, anyone who tries to learn from them is doomed."

Lacking any skill to handle their high-star follower approach.

When Alice heard Shen Sui’s words, she immediately pouted.

Originally, Shen Sui thought Alice would say something defiant, but instead, she said, "Even if I want to learn, I need to have as many fifteen-star follower cards!"

Er...

Seems quite reasonable.

Shen Sui suddenly felt a bit helpless.

Because he didn’t seem to have that many high-star cards either.

Well, does Haral’s body pieces count?

But what Shen Sui didn’t know was that whatever Alice wanted, she always found a way to obtain it.

No such amount of fifteen-star followers?

Then of course she would go find them herself!

As many gods exist on Dawn Continent, if they’re grouped together, it should fulfill a deck’s follower requirement, right?

Thinking of this, Alice was already eager to start the Divine War on Dawn Continent.

But thinking again, it seemed her exams were soon too, better wait until the duel entrance exam is over.

If the gods on Dawn Continent realized they evaded a disaster and lived longer because of exams, would they feel wry amusement?

"Eh? What did you do to Gloria?"

At this moment, Shen Sui realized Gloria was missing, checking the dueling device.

[Ding! You acquire follower card: Nature Goddess Gloria].

Good heavens, when did Alice wrap up the deal with Gloria?

Shen Sui initially intended to tactfully coerce a little when no one was around.

Alice chuckled, saying: "This lady seemed not very smart and was frightened by you; I bluffed a little, and she surrendered."

However, you can’t say Gloria’s decision was wrong.

Given that if it were Shen Sui negotiating, he would probably immediately force Gloria into self-castrating her divinity. While with Alice, she’d at least suffer less.

Of course, the entire environmental restructuring of a world, even for a Goddess of Nature, might need some experience to accomplish.

"Those guys..." Meanwhile, outside the buffer zone, Zhang Fang displayed a helpless expression watching the screen’s live stream, "What do they think the buffer zone is for..."

Clearly here together to handle Nature Goddess Gloria, yet they started dueling on their own.

Duel? That can be done in the real world!

"This Alice is even greater than we imagined." At this time, his North American colleague came over.

"What?" Zhang Fang asked curiously.

"Didn’t you see it?"

"See what?"

"I’m saying, isn’t Gloria a super dangerous entity we’re monitoring? Aren’t you the least bit concerned?" The North American Exploration Bureau Chief displayed a helpless expression, "Didn’t you notice she’s already been sealed by Alice?"

"Holy crap? Is that so?" Zhang Fang immediately looked at another screen.

"So, you’ve been watching the screen, what were you watching?!"

Zhang Fang embarrassedly said, "I got caught up watching the duel..."

"Hey hey hey! The buffer zone isn’t for watching duels! Those Life Card Masters, maybe. But we are fighting for world peace, have some diligence here!"

Zhang Fang suspiciously looked at his North American colleague: "I say, aren’t you unqualified to lecture me... you went to the bathroom for quite a while just now?"

"Normal physical needs."

"But you went to the ladies’ room."

"Ahem, let’s discuss the duel instead."

Zhang Fang turned back to see that the duel between Theis and You Wenqi had ended, and even Shen Sui and Theis’s duel had begun.

Darn it! Talking about women really does distract from dueling!
