Chapter 1209 - 672: Alice and Tang Lili

Chapter 1209: Chapter 672: Alice and Tang Lili

Alice defeated her teacher.

Under the new special rules, she automatically qualifies to start the Ranking Tournament.

When Shen Sui heard this news, he couldn’t help but comment, "Was this rule made just for Alice?"

But then he thought again, today’s freshmen are truly exceptional.

In the past, Life Card Masters would compete fiercely for the championship, viewing each other as rivals, so even if there were some card-shuffling tricks, they would be kept secret.

However, with the new reform, Life Card Duels are now more entertainment-focused, and the real importance lies in the buffer zone.

The buffer zone concerns everyone’s safety.

If the overall strength of Life Card Masters weakens and is breached by external Extraordinary ones, it would be a disaster.

In this global context of advancing together, Life Card Masters stopped hiding their techniques and shared them online for everyone to discuss.

Not everyone’s Soul Card is a card-shuffling masterpiece, but individual efforts by Life Card Masters can still change some card-shuffling experiences.

This was evident from the entrance exams of various duel academies this year.

In previous admissions tests, given that students’ decks might not have many Life Cards, there were restrictions on examiners’ decks.

But this year, many students directly defeated the examiners in exams.

This shows that students’ overall skills have improved tremendously over last year.

The most crucial thing is, as time goes on, this level of improvement will continue.

Against this grand backdrop, having a rule where students can advance by dueling and defeating teachers makes sense.

Alice is at most just the first beneficiary of this rule.

After completing the points tournament, Alice almost immediately started the Ranking Tournament.

Her next journey hasn’t been scheduled yet, but it definitely won’t be delayed too long.

Alice doesn’t want to delay the task of finding the enterprise because of her personal matters.

She has a pretty good relationship with the enterprise’s sisters York City and Hornet.

According to the rules of the Promotion Tournament, Alice started challenging Life Card Masters of different ranks sequentially.

These opponents were all selected randomly.

But with Alice’s skills, progressing to the fourth or fifth rank shouldn’t be any problem.

She is now fully familiar with the rhythm of Life Card Duels and is well-versed with the characteristics of her deck.

Yet, for some reason, every time Alice returns, she seems exhausted.

And it’s the kind of exhaustion that weighs on the mind.

"What’s going on? Is the Promotion Tournament that tough?" Shen Sui looked puzzled at Alice sprawled on the sofa.

"It shouldn’t be; given your deck build, you should pass a third-rank tournament with your eyes closed!"

A powerful deck isn’t terrifying.

The truly terrifying part is, it’s not only powerful but also has a very low entry barrier.

Can you imagine a scene where a dueling novice could easily defeat seasoned veterans just by getting such a deck?

If such a deck were placed in a game where cards could be duplicated and printed, it would be disastrous.

The entire dueling environment would be ruthlessly torn down until everyone was dueling with this deck.

Alice’s Magical Girl deck already has a similar taste, but it requires some learning thresholds nonetheless.

Even so, it shouldn’t be so exhausting to play a one, two, or three-rank tournament, right?

"You don’t understand..."

When Shen Sui asked Alice for the reason, she didn’t even have the strength to lift her head.

Her head deeply buried in the pillow, her voice carried an echo like a muffled can.

"Speak properly!" Shen Sui put his hands on his hips.

"Why are you using a dad’s tone on me..."

Alice mumbled but obediently sat up.

Shen Sui’s mouth twitched, asking helplessly, "So, what exactly happened?"

Alice pouted, finally recounting her recent encounters to Shen Sui.

"Can you imagine? My duel opponents are my fans." Alice clasped her hands, and even imaginary black lines seemed to appear above her head. "Every time I play a card, they scream and shout things like, Miss Alice is amazing! You’re playing so well... and the like."

Shen Sui put himself in Alice’s shoes, suddenly couldn’t hold it in, and burst out laughing.

Alice glared at Shen Sui, "This is a serious problem! If the opponent is a fan, it really disrupts my duel!"

"So did you win?"

"I did win."

"But!" Alice put her hands on her hips, "But defeating fans makes me feel really guilty, okay?"

"Oh~ so you calculated the damage card by card to win?"

"Nope, I dealt twenty thousand damage to blast them away directly."

"Then what the hell are you moping for!" Shen Sui impatiently tugged Alice’s ear, dragging the whining person towards the basement amid her cries.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Are you going to teach me a lesson with a duel?"

Alice saw Shen Sui heading towards the dueling ground, her eyes sparkling.

"..."

Wait, why does your tone have this bratty flavor?!

Shen Sui thought to himself, speechless.

"Help me strategize with some issues."

Shen Sui brought Alice to the table beside the dueling area.
