Yuan Youxin looked at Shen Sui, then at the [Sinful Saintess·Anna] that Shen Sui had thrown into the graveyard.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Yuan Youxin looked at Shen Sui speechlessly.

"Can't help it, when a hand trap sticks to your hand, it's like this." Shen Sui spread his hands in a helpless manner.

Yuan Youxin's Spell Card was nullified because of Anna's effect.

That wasn't too bad though, even without this card, he had other means to unfold from his hand.

But as long as this Anna remains in the graveyard, if he continues his plays, he's just continuously sending cards to Shen Sui.

Yuan Youxin already suffered from Anna's effects in the last duel, so there's no way he'd forcefully play into Anna again.

However, people always grow.

Although a month is short, Yuan Youxin did not acquire many innovative Life Cards from the Soul Card World.

But ever since he suffered from Shen Sui's hand trap last time, Yuan Youxin resolved to try everything to find a card that could handle such situations.

My luck is poor; twice I faced the same opponent and hit a similar storyline.

But my efforts are enough to change my luck!

Yuan Youxin took a deep breath, looked at Shen Sui, and said, "Don't think you can beat me with just one card like last time."

Shen Sui thought to himself, last time I won because you bull-headedly insisted on playing into Anna's effect, wasn't it?

What's this attitude of losing because I tricked you?

Before he even had time to speak, he saw Yuan Youxin pull out a card from his hand and, addressing his field, said, "Pay 5 Soul Points, normal summon from my hand, Follower Card [Cyan Seal First Disciple·Yuan Butong]."

"Activate the effect of [Cyan Seal First Disciple·Yuan Butong]." Without any pause, Yuan Youxin, having already mapped out all subsequent steps in his mind upon seeing Shen Sui discard the Sinful Saintess, continued, "When he appears, I can special summon a [Cyan Seal] Follower from my deck to the field."

Spurred by the effect of Yuan Youxin's Soul Card, he took his deck out from the Dueling Device and spread it out before him.

"I choose to special summon from the deck!"

"[Cyan Seal Guardian·Su Tianyang]."

With Yuan Youxin's summon, a dispirited old man appeared on Yuan Youxin's field.

"At this time, activate the effect of [Sinful Saintess·Anna] in the graveyard," Shen Sui became vigilant upon seeing the Tomb Guardian on Yuan Youxin's field.

As everyone knows, in card games, virtually all followers with names related to the graveyard have effects somewhat specifically targeting the graveyard.

If Shen Sui guessed correctly, Yuan Youxin's [Cyan Seal Guardian·Su Tianyang] likely has a similar effect.

Shen Sui got the gist, activating Anna's effect without hesitation.

Exchanging 500 Life Value for a card is very much worth it.

Shen Sui drew a card, then took 500 non-sourceable damage.

"Then," as expected, Yuan Youxin activated the Tomb Guardian's effect next, "activate the effect of my on-field Cyan Seal Guardian, for the turn it appears, until the end of the turn, both players cannot activate Life Card effects in the graveyard."

It indeed came.

Shen Sui was not surprised.

A Sealed Tomb effect? It sure counters Anna well.

Anna in the graveyard has no resistance.

Although it's just a one-turn Sealed Tomb, for decks like Yuan Youxin's, it's sufficient.

Shen Sui narrowed his eyes, knowing in his heart that he could no longer prevent Yuan Youxin's explosive first-turn setup.

Sure enough, with Anna's restrictions gone, Yuan Youxin began showcasing his moves.

First, he transformed the form of his Soul Card into [Cyan Seal Drunkard·Yuan Butong], then activated this form's effect of Yuan Butong, discarding a card from his hand and drawing three cards from the deck.

If he does this, at the end of the turn, Yuan Youxin will have to discard all cards from his hand.

Another fake card.

Even faker than the [Cyan Seal Summoning Order].

But because it's a Soul Card, this card won't be banned.

For decks that can stack the graveyard, the effect of Cyan Seal Drunkard, with one card, yields at least fourfold, and if Yuan Youxin can draw more from his deck through card effects, he earns even more.

Of course, because Yuan Youxin has a Tomb Guardian on the field, at least this turn, the graveyard he stacks won't have an immediate effect.

But Shen Sui, from the structure of Yuan Youxin's Follower Cards, already saw the trend of wanting to unfold around the graveyard.

Was careless.

Next time I'll print you a Great Cosmos, just for fun.

Shen Sui muttered in his heart.

About ten minutes later, Yuan Youxin's narrative finally came to an end.

On his field, five followers had already rotated multiple times, and through liberation fees and Life Cards, Yuan Youxin managed to complete a ten-minute first turn narrative.

Even in high-tier matches, where everyone engages in explosive starts, this was rare.

It could be said that Yuan Youxin had some prowess to complete the explosive Fish King in amateur competitions.

Of course, staging isn't done mindlessly; the ultimate goal of any leading turn's staging is to limit the opponent's offensive in the next turn.

Yuan Youxin was naturally skilled in this area as well.

Shen Sui observed Yuan Youxin's field, guessing some follower effects in his heart.

Yuan Youxin used up all his Soul Points and set a card on his field.

"My turn is over." Yuan Youxin entered the end of his turn phase.

"At this time," as the timing triggered, Yuan Youxin spoke again, "Activate the effect of my on-field [Cyan Seal Guardian·Su Tianyang], send one of my followers on the field to the graveyard to activate, until the start of my next turn, he cannot be destroyed by card effects or battle."

Cyan Seal Sect, Su Tianyang.

On the surface, a Tomb Guardian of the Cyan Seal Sect.

But in reality, he was one of the sect's most powerful patriarchs.

But Yuan Youxin didn't acquire this Follower Card by boosting Su Tianyang's favorability through Yuan Butong.

Looking at Su Tianyang on the field, Yuan Youxin did not exhibit the pride a Life Card Master should have towards his powerful Life Card.

His attitude towards this card was very complex.

Because Su Tianyang was the kind of standard villain within the same sect.

It was Su Tianyang who had buried Yuan Butong in the tomb, nearly killing Yuan Butong.

However, the card's effect was indeed useful to Yuan Youxin.

"Send [Cyan Seal Drunkard·Yuan Butong] to the graveyard." Once again, Yuan Youxin reenacted the scene in the duel.

"My turn." Shen Sui didn't know what Yuan Youxin was thinking at that moment, he just knew that Yuan Youxin's current field seemed a bit tough to crack.

He didn't have any cards in his hand to clear the board.

With four Follower Cards, where's the means to clear the board?

Then let all hope rest on the next draw!

Shen Sui placed his hand on the deck.
