Shen Sui's breakthrough in the Ranking Tournament quickly became a hot topic.

In the past, whenever his name was mentioned online, it was mostly in the context of Xinyuan Yingxue. However, this time, he stepped onto the stage with his personal strength.

In the fifth Ranking Tournament match, he defeated Xu Tianzhi.

What kind of achievement is this?

Not to mention that Xu Tianzhi had just won the Light of Light Duel Invitation Tournament, making headlines everywhere. Simply winning five Ranking Tournament matches to directly advance to a fifth-tier Life Card Master is a rare feat.

In the past, even if one or two prodigies emerged, upon investigating their background, people would discover they came from a notable family. Their remarkable achievements were often due to resources provided by their elders to artificially increase their deck's power.

However, Shen Sui is different. When he was first compared to Xinyuan Yingxue, countless fans of Xinyuan Yingxue scrutinized Shen Sui's background.

If Shen Sui had any hint of a prestigious family background, it would have already been public knowledge.

Therefore, Shen Sui's unexpected breakthrough with his background to become a fifth-tier Life Card Master astonished everyone.

My goodness, what exactly did he do to make his deck strong enough to sustain five consecutive Ranking Tournament duels?

Some speculated that perhaps Shen Sui was just lucky.

But having good luck for five matches in a row? That's not luck; that's skill.

An ordinary person, through sheer effort, won five Ranking Tournament matches and became a fifth-tier Life Card Master.

It's like being a top scorer in the entrance exams in one's past life, a topic many love to discuss and follow.

However, a group of people found themselves in an awkward position because of this news.

They were the public relations team of the Xingyuan Clan.

Xinyuan Yingxue had just finished her fifth Ranking Tournament match.

After several intense rounds, she narrowly defeated a seasoned fifth-tier Life Card Master.

Tensions of this duel were evident from the numerous rounds.

This didn't align with Wang Chunxue's original plan.

But after the Exploration Bureau adopted the professional identification system, she could no longer arrange opponents for her daughter, having to let the Exploration Bureau do so.

The opponent Xinyuan Yingxue faced in her fifth Ranking Tournament match was quite a known figure. Winning didn't let down her genius reputation.

Wang Chunxue felt satisfied and planned to routinely advertise her daughter's achievement online to elevate her fame.

However, she quickly realized that Shen Sui's name was already sky-high trending.

He participated in the Ranking Tournament on the same day as Xinyuan Yingxue, starting even later.

But Shen Sui won exceptionally fast.

Three rounds.

In less than three rounds, Shen Sui secured victory in the duel.

In fact, he could have been quicker, but he faced Xu Tianzhi, a Life Card Master adept at staging elaborate plays, which consumed significant time.

Xu Tianzhi!

Why is it Xu Tianzhi again!

Wang Chunxue ground her teeth in frustration at Xu Tianzhi's name.

Previously, Shen Sui overshadowed Xinyuan Yingxue by defeating Xu Tianzhi, and once again, it happened now.

Can't you win just once?

Losing consecutively to this newcomer student, don't you care about your reputation?

Critically, this time Xu Tianzhi carried the prestige of being the Light of Light Duel Invitation Tournament champion.

This victory by Shen Sui elevated its significance to a new level.

Clearly, if I release Xue's Ranking Tournament news now, it will absolutely become Shen Sui's stepping stone to further fame.

However, the arrow's on the string and it's got to be released.

Shen Sui, just you wait!

Wang Chunxue silently roared in her heart.

All her efforts in nurturing Xue aimed to witness the moment of her success and acclaim.

Yet here was Shen Sui, repeatedly blocking Xue's path.

Infuriating!

Infuriating!

In contrast to the raging Wang Chunxue, Xinyuan Yingxue appeared unusually calm as she looked at her Dueling Device, watching her Soul Card Followers wandering in the desolate wilderness.

After the apocalypse, zombies swept through World No. 19, transforming this highly advanced world into an Apocalypse World overnight.

However, the apocalypse didn't affect Xinyuan Yingxue much, but it tremendously impacted the Xingyuan Clan.

The apocalypse wiped out the Xingyuan Clan's decades-long accumulation in World No. 19, nearly severing their heritage in the Soul Card World.

That's why the Xingyuan Clan permitted Wang Chunxue full leverage of their capabilities to elevate Xinyuan Yingxue.

Xinyuan Yingxue's Soul Card Follower is a daughter from a prominent family in World No. 19.

As the daughter of an arms dealer, she piloted her family's heavy artillery armor, roaming the post-apocalyptic World No. 19.

Thus, Xinyuan Yingxue benefited, obtaining many firepower-related Life Cards.

Compared to the real world, she actually preferred World No. 19 in the Soul Card World.

Although it was an apocalypse, filled with terrifying zombies and vicious humans, it was a world of freedom.

You could do anything you wanted, as you pleased.

Wander the wasteland, dance under the starry sky, sing between valleys.

So carefree, so free.

Wang Chunxue continued shouting elsewhere, seemingly triggered again by something dissatisfying her sensitive nerves.

Xinyuan Yingxue was accustomed to this.

Since her older sister fell out with the family, their mother had become increasingly irritable.

She poured all her attention and resources onto Xue, trying to prove her correctness to the girl who resolutely left home.

["You're upset again, Xue?" Ye Yiyi asked, observing your face.]

Watching the message from her Soul Card, Xinyuan Yingxue couldn't help but smile as if sharing her real-life troubles with a close friend.

[Ye Yiyi sat atop Mo Yue, swinging her legs, curiously asking, "Why is your mom always like that? Is your family really cash-strapped?"]

Xinyuan Yingxue paused before answering no.

["Ah, then I understand even less." Ye Yiyi looked into the distance naïvely, suddenly exclaiming, "Look! There! Smoke! Let's go check it out!"]

[Ye Yiyi directed Mo Yue over there.]

[A melancholic man by a campfire in the distance, with a dead deer beside him, seemingly his dinner.]

[The man's handsome face and melancholic eyes immediately caught Ye Yiyi's attention.]

["Wow, he's so handsome!" Ye Yiyi grabbed your shoulder.]

["I think I've fallen in love," Ye Yiyi said to you.]

Ah, this....

Xinyuan Yingxue helplessly gazed at her Soul Card Follower's message.

Does this pampered heiress really know the danger of encountering a man in the wilderness?

["Hello! Hello! I'm Ye Yiyi. Can you tell me your name?" Ye Yiyi approached the man, curiously examining him without waiting for your answer.]

["Lin Zhen," the man replied coldly and indifferently, "It's dangerous here. You should leave."]
