"What... what's going on?!"
Shen Sui spread his hands and explained, "The effect of this Spell Card continues. It's not necessary to destroy the chosen Follower, as long as it leaves the field. I'm sorry, but the effect of bouncing it back to your hand is considered leaving the field, so the Spell Card's effect continues."
"Damn! Why is there such an effect!" The man held his head, "With your skills, why are you even in this kind of competition, just to bully newbies?!"
Seeing his opponent's expression of wanting to cry but having no tears, Shen Sui suddenly understood why Yuan Youxin enjoyed bullying newbies in casual tournaments.
Indeed, beating weaker players is addicting.
After Shen Sui's Spell Card cleared the field, his opponent had already given up resistance. His deck relied on a single flow strategy, and encountering a field-clearing effect without successfully defending meant he could only wait for his demise.
Shen Sui easily secured the duel victory with a direct attack.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Apart from his fans, there were many tourists as well.
Many of them were elderly who barely watched duels and didn't understand what this novel game was all about, but that didn't stop them from enjoying the spectacle.
The exploding fireworks on the field were truly captivating.
"Good job." After stepping off the stage, Qishala thoughtfully handed over a glass of lemon tea.
Although it was autumn, these days happened to coincide with the autumn heat waves visiting Modu, and with the competition held outdoors, Shen Sui felt a bit hot after a duel.
Of course, for some reason, his physique had greatly improved, and unlike other contestants, he wasn't drenched in sweat.
Qishala was still wearing the maid outfit that Shen Sui had carefully chosen for her, concealing her Dragon Race traits.
Even in Modu, such attire was very rare, and not to mention, Qishala had an incredibly beautiful face.
Many people stopped to watch.
For many tourists who weren't interested in duels, this was even more captivating than the duel itself.
Then they saw:
The beautiful, silver-haired maid affectionately handed a chilled drink to a man, looking at him with a loving expression.
Damn! Who is this guy! So damn enviable!
In public, Shen Sui actually wanted to refuse.
But Qishala's determined gaze and gentle smile quickly made him surrender.
For some reason, upon knowing Shen Sui had detected Vivian's approximate location, this Dragon Lady became exceptionally enthusiastic.
"You've been here for the past few days, is there really no problem?" Shen Sui sipped his tea and curiously asked.
"Don't worry, everything is almost settled. The Dragon Race is back on track," Qishala said. "At most, the Dragon God is on the brink of Recovery, so you'll just need to help me out then."
Shen Sui nodded.
Qishala's beautiful eyes lingered on Shen Sui, seemingly unintentionally asking, "Hasn't Freymia found a way to invade reality yet?"
She already knew that Shen Sui obtained Freymia's Soul Card.
As Shen Sui's dragon, Qishala didn't mind Shen Sui's actions.
The relationship between her and Freymia wasn't particularly bad.
Though Qishala appeared proud and aloof to outsiders, her reputation in Modena City was quite good. Even with Isabella, who was often at odds with her, it was more of a playful rivalry rather than true enmity.
"Hmm... should I teach Freymia?" Qishala blinked with a smile and asked.
Shen Sui's hair stood on end immediately.
What is this? Is it a White Dragon's test?
Could it be the legendary Chaotic Scene test?
Seeing Shen Sui didn't answer immediately, Qishala seemed to have an idea in her mind.
If Freymia still doesn't find the invasion technique after some time, I'll go check out the Elf Forest.
And coincidentally, I'll visit that little fellow, Lingyi.
"You must be Shen Sui."
At this moment, a voice appeared in front of Shen Sui.
It seemed to be a woman.
Shen Sui was drinking tea, so he first saw the woman's legs.
Short socks, huh.
Shen Sui showed a disdainful expression.
He raised his head and looked at the woman standing in front of him.
Unfamiliar face.
Shen Sui squinted his eyes, searching carefully in his mind, and confirmed he indeed didn't know her.
The woman noticed Shen Sui's confusion and, slightly annoyed, said, "You don't know me?"
Shen Sui frowned, "Should I know you?"
The woman laughed, "Well yes, it seems we indeed were not acquainted before."
Crazy person.
Shen Sui mentally mocked.
The woman extended her hand, "I'm Tu Qingyun."
She deliberately paused for a moment here.
Tu Qingyun...
Shen Sui went over the name in his mind again, confirming he didn't know her.
Seeing Shen Sui's lack of reaction, Tu Qingyun showed a disappointed expression and continued, "I'm your opponent in the quarter-finals."
"Oh~!" Shen Sui looked at the schedule board in the main arena, and in the quarter-finals slot, Tu Qingyun's name was prominently displayed.
"Pleasure to meet you, pleasure to meet you." Shen Sui exchanged polite words.
Tu Qingyun shot Shen Sui a deep glance, her lips curving into a mysterious smile, "Indeed, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your luck is quite good."
Shen Sui didn't quite understand the woman's meaning.
Tu Qingyun waved her hand, turned, and left, "We'll see each other in the arena."
"This woman has a strange aura about her," Qishala, standing behind Shen Sui, whispered.
Shen Sui, in his previous life, was just an ordinary person, so his use of Extraordinary Power was only average. However, due to the automatic combat system and passive buffs, he could face strong opponents, and in high-level battles, this flaw wouldn't be exposed.
But when it came to sensitivity to abnormalities in daily life, Shen Sui's weakness became apparent, so he had no response. To his eyes, Tu Qingyun just seemed strange, but her actions were still within the range of pre-battle greetings with an opponent, showing nothing unusual.
Qishala, on the other hand, was a genuine Extraordinary, mastering her Extraordinary Power to an expert level. Though she restrained her power considering the real world's limits and not wanting to cause Shen Sui trouble, her keen senses still detected an oddness from this woman named Tu Qingyun.
Shen Sui wasn't the type of protagonist from TV animations who wouldn't believe the sidekick's words or, worse yet, say something aggravating like, "You must be mistaken."
He trusted Qishala's judgment.
So, why did this Tu Qingyun suddenly come over to say hello?
Full of curiosity, Shen Sui stepped towards the quarter-final arena.
Tu Qingyun was already there waiting for him.
Her face still held that excited smile, and her eyes looking at Shen Sui were rather playful.
It was as if she were a superior being looking at a mere mortal.
