Every time Xu Tianzhi summoned, the whole arena erupted with astonishing cheers.

Everyone present was a Life Card Master, and they showed the same respect to Shen Sui as well.

However, Shen Sui's current deck didn't have many dazzling plays, so the cheers for him were significantly fewer, making it seem as if the entire audience were Xu Tianzhi fans.

Of course, it wasn't exactly a mistake; Xu Tianzhi deserved this affection from the crowd.

A smooth game without opposition truly felt delightful.

Xu Tianzhi fell into his most familiar rhythm.

Compared to the deck that was weakened during the duel exam, he now went all out, presenting Shen Sui with a steel torrent from the future world.

Three 10-star Intelligent Mechanical Tyrants, just their majestic metallic bodies alone exuded immense pressure.

Two 8-star Intelligent Mechas, the massive Macro-Ion Cannon in their hands could obliterate all enemies ahead.

From this perspective, it's easy to understand why Xu Tianzhi was so popular.

Who doesn't love mechas, after all?

Just by looking at the venue, Xu Tianzhi was likely a key partner of the Exploration Bureau as well.

Yet, it still wasn't foolproof.

Xu Tianzhi looked at the two Follower Cards on Shen Sui's side and raised his hand, activating the effect of an Intelligent Mechanical Tyrant on the field.

He took this duel with Shen Sui very seriously, viewing Shen Sui as a worthy opponent deserving of respect.

The greatest respect a duelist can show their opponent is to decisively crush them, eliminating any chance of resistance.

"Activate the effect of my Follower [Intelligent Mechanical Tyrant · Sigma]," Xu Tianzhi shouted, "once per turn, select a Follower on the opponent's field as a target, and destroy that Follower."

A steel giant in the form of a Mechanical Tyrannosaurus raised its steel cannon at Alice.

"At this moment!" Naturally, Shen Sui wouldn't let Xu Tianzhi take down Alice. "Activate the effect of [Lucky Puppet · Shari] in the graveyard! When a Follower on my field is targeted by a card effect, I can activate it, banishing this Follower from the graveyard to negate that effect."

Shen Sui banished Shari from the graveyard, nullifying the effect as a result.

Xu Tianzhi felt a bit of regret, but it didn't matter.

Now, his advantage was already substantial enough.

An advantage surpassing most of his previous dominating games.

He was well aware that the card at the top of Shen Sui's deck was [arson], which had once flipped his entire field during the duel exam.

But times had changed; back then, Xu Tianzhi was the examiner, and his deck was intentionally weakened. Now, his deck was in full form.

The effects of the Followers on his field alone allowed him to counter Shen Sui's arson up to two or three times.

After his effect was countered, Xu Tianzhi had no follow-up moves, so he directly entered the battle phase.

And at that moment, the long-awaited Shen Sui finally drew out the lethal dagger: "At this moment! Activate the effect of my [Enchanting Witch · Hozerville]! At the start of the opponent's battle phase, if there are two or more Followers on the opponent's field, this effect can be activated."

"What?" Xu Tianzhi was startled; he instinctively reached for his set card but then remembered that the set card couldn't be activated in the current turn, so he looked directly at his hand.

He also had a Follower Card similar to Shari in his hand, which could be discarded to negate the effect of an opponent's Follower Card.

This card was considered one of Xu Tianzhi's trademarks.

But at that moment, he found that he couldn't activate the effect of this Follower Card at all.

Then he heard Shen Sui say, "Compare the Spirit Values of all opponent's Followers, keep the one with the highest Spirit Value, and send the remaining Followers to the graveyard... Oh, by the way."

He seemed to have anticipated the issue Xu Tianzhi encountered and kindly reminded, "Neither side can activate card effects due to this effect."

Sorry, the ability to print cards allows one to do as they please.

Ha, when he printed the Enchanting Witch, he specifically wrote this effect into it, just worried that the effect of the Enchanting Witch would be countered.

If he could, he would even stick such non-chainable clauses into every card's effect. Unfortunately, the card's carrying capacity had a limit, and he wasn't entirely sure. He was only familiar with Alice's cards, having handled so many forms.

Alice mischievously smiled, her cunning eyes twinkling.

She possessed an innocent yet sinister beauty.

It's hard to imagine that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child would intentionally cause a malicious war within a religious organization.

If the Master of Thunder knew that the reason for losing most of the elite battle power of His Church was because a girl wanted to save her dog, He'd probably spit blood for three days straight.

With the activation of the Enchanting Witch's effect, the five Followers on Xu Tianzhi's field were engulfed in a strange melee. They were all high-tech, yet their battle highlighted a wild aesthetic, which might have something to do with the Soul Card World they belonged to.

After all, World No. 18 was such a place where even though there were high-tech ranged weapons available, they preferred close-range mecha battles, embodying a tribal aesthetic in the Science Fiction World.

The high-energy weapons of this world were typically only used to finish a fight once the opponent was nearly incapacitated, much like an Ultraman who often uses his ultimate move at the very end.

The one with the highest Spirit Value remaining on Xu Tianzhi's field was Alpha, his Soul Card ultimately survived.

"God of Age is truly remarkable," Yu Wenyuan amidst the crowd earnestly remarked as he observed the duel on the stage. He and Xu Tianzhi belonged to World No. 18 in the Soul Card World, and as someone who had also suffered losses against Shen Sui, he naturally understood Xu Tianzhi's current thoughts, "Yet, if this is all, it's still underestimating Xu Tianzhi. He is indeed the pride of World of Soul Card No. 18!"

Life Card Masters typically don't casually reveal their Soul Card World. For instance, many people are merely speculating that Shen Sui's Soul Card World is World No. 1, but since Shen Sui's Soul Card remains very active, most people often refute this speculation.

Yet some people like to deliberately promote their Soul Card World, as it helps them quickly find like-minded individuals and exchange Life Cards of a similar type.

Both actions have their pros and cons.

Yu Wenyuan clearly belonged to the latter group.

Song Feiyu stood beside Yu Wenyuan, not showing much reaction. He and Yu Wenyuan were merely casual acquaintances, coincidentally joining the same club. They came to the Duel Training Hall today due to a club event.

He glanced at Shen Sui on the stage, his eyes filled with battle intent. Compared to him, who was stuck at rank three in the Ranking Tournament, Shen Sui was far stronger.

So strong!

This kind of opponent is worth defeating!

Beside Yu Wenyuan, students from Tianyi Academy were also chattering about the duel between Shen Sui and Xu Tianzhi.

Their attitudes towards this duel were rather complex.

Shen Sui was the top among their peers, and naturally, they hoped for Shen Sui to win, as it would raise the reputation of Tianyi Academy, allowing them to take pride in it.

But at the same time, as a senior figure from the Future Club, Xu Tianzhi was also an idol in the eyes of many Tianyi Academy students, and they didn't wish to see their idol lose either.

As Yu Wenyuan mentioned, winning a top-tier championship made Xu Tianzhi no small fry.

A complete wipeout? For Xu Tianzhi, it's not something to fear!

You blow up my field once, and I'll build it back again!
