The scale of the Modu Duel Tournament is worthy of a grand opening performance.

The organizers generously invited several heavyweight stars to participate in this performance.

Not only that, they also invited the famous eighth-tier Life Card Master, An Hai, as a special commentator for the finals.

Although this is an opportunity to quickly boost one's popularity, An Hai rarely accepts such commentary invitations.

He's not the type to like being in the public eye; he'd rather spend that time battling powerful opponents in an exhilarating duel.

But this time, An Hai made an exception.

Shen Sui, the young man who obtained the Fairy Rose, was destined to duel against him. An Hai was very curious about how he would confront Yang Liguang's card deck.

Yang Liguang may only be a seventh-tier Life Card Master.

However, any Life Card Master who has seen her duels would not underestimate this arrogant individual.

You must do your utmost to suppress Yang Liguang's field, leaving her no room to breathe.

Because once she seizes an opportunity, you will lose all your rights to play cards, becoming a toy for her ridicule and manipulation.

This is no joke.

Even a ninth-tier Life Card Master, if caught in one of Yang Liguang's traps, could find themselves without any cards to play.

Yang Liguang's dueling techniques have been studied by countless people.

You have researched her too, haven't you? Her information.

So, I'm curious how you plan to counter her.

Offstage, Shen Sui paid no attention to the thoughts of those around him, not even sparing a glance at the young idol performing on stage.

Xinyuan Tanchun clearly invested much effort in gathering intel on Yang Liguang, even going so far as to print out every Life Card she had ever used in past duels.

A thick stack, more than eighty cards in total.

Of course, many of these are rotated cards, which suggests that Yang Liguang has a very deep card pool.

Against such an opponent, typically, you can only ascertain her main strategy, while the rest of her deck remains a complete mystery.

"Let's welcome!"

"Tianyi Academy first-year student, fifth-tier Life Card Master, Shen Sui!"

Shen Sui was nudged by Xinyuan Tanchun, realizing the performance had unknowingly ended and the host had started introducing the contestants.

"Hurry up and get on stage," Xinyuan Tanchun whispered.

Shen Sui took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage.

The dueling stage, although temporarily set up in the stadium, was not at all simplistic. Instead, under an array of colorful lights, it was exceptionally dazzling, showcasing the organizers' capabilities.

"So slow?" Yang Liguang grinned arrogantly, "Are you scared by any chance?"

Shen Sui smiled without answering her.

Yang Liguang curled her lip, ignoring Shen Sui.

As she said before the match, she completely acted as if she looked down on Shen Sui.

"The rules of the Modu Duel Tournament finals adopt the tournament rules, both parties start with a Life Value of 6000, and initial Soul Points of 16."

With the referee's words, the dueling devices for both parties instantly lit up.

"Duel begins!"

As the referee called out, both parties simultaneously activated their dueling devices.

"I hope in this duel you don't lose too quickly! Otherwise, it won't be any fun!" Yang Liguang laughed loudly.

Just as her voice faded, the turn card landed in Shen Sui's field.

Shen Sui frowned.

"Come on!" Yang Liguang extended her hand invitingly, "Let's begin! Show me the performance of a genius!"

Damn!

Xinyuan Tanchun watched Yang Liguang on stage, pounding the railing in anger.

Why has Guang changed into this?

She used to be such a soft girl!

"An, who do you think will have the upper hand in this duel?"

On the commentary stage, the company president prompted him with a question.

"Can you provide a reasonable judgment from a professional perspective?"

An Hai, watching Shen Sui who just secured the first turn, replied, "Yang Liguang excels in counter-pressure, having a win rate as high as ninety percent when playing second. Securing the first turn is very unfavorable for Shen Sui."

An Hai's voice was calm, with no expression on his face.

His icy words left the president at a loss for how to continue.

"You mean, Shen Sui obtaining the first turn is a disadvantage?" the president continued, nodding, "Indeed, we all know Yang Liguang's deck loves it when the opponent takes the first turn and plays extensively...."

"Not necessarily," An Hai interrupted the commentary, continuing, "Shen Sui's deck is also trap-heavy. If he takes the first turn, he can summon followers to limit Yang Liguang's plays and set some spell cards to use during her turn."

While talking passionately on the commentary stage, Shen Sui fell into contemplation.

His opening hand wasn't bad; it was actually quite decent.

The awkward part was that his opponent was Yang Liguang.

With her deck, she can certainly bring out the Purple Demoness in the first turn.

He can't give his opponent any opportunity.

"Pay 6 Soul Points to cover a Spell Card."

"My turn is over."

Shen Sui covered one card and ended his turn.

"Is this your deck?" Yang Liguang, seeing this, crossed her arms, laughing loudly, "So weak, do you lack the courage to even make a move in front of me?"

"Heh, I'm not that reckless," Shen Sui chuckled, "It's your turn."

"What?! Shen Sui only covered one card and ended his turn?" the president shouted in surprise, "Even though we understand he fears Yang Liguang's Purple Demoness, isn't wasting a first turn unreasonable?"

An Hai immediately responded, "Not necessarily, Shen Sui's deck has plenty of counterplay cards, maybe the card he set will stop Yang Liguang..."

Before he could finish, Yang Liguang drew a card and activated an [Immortal Navigation Group's Charge] from her hand.

"Pay 3 Soul Points and activate from my hand the Spell Card [Immortal Navigation Group's Charge]. It destroys an opponent's card on the field."

With the crisp sound of breaking cards, Shen Sui's only face-down card on the field was destroyed.

That was the Spell Card [Thunder Strike].

It was indeed a card Shen Sui planned to use against Yang Liguang.

"Oh..." Seeing this, the president cautiously glanced at An Hai beside him.

Yang Liguang was not surprised to see [Thunder Strike].

If Shen Sui hadn't prepared, that would be strange.

Though Yang Liguang acted arrogantly, she couldn't appear foolish.

"Then, by paying 10 Soul Points, I'll activate from my hand," Yang Liguang continued her turn without pause, "the Permanent Spell Card [Curse of the Immortal Navigation Group]."

******

Card Name: [Curse of the Immortal Navigation Group]

Type: Permanent Spell Card

Star Level: 10 stars

Effect: As long as this card exists on the field, followers summoned by special means have their effects negated outside of their owner's turn.

******

"Here it comes!" shouted the commentator, "It's the classic curse opening!"

Yang Liguang drew another card from her hand, speaking coldly to Shen Sui:

"Don't think doing nothing will let you escape. From the moment you ended your turn, your defeat was already sealed!"

"The Immortal Navigation Group is setting sail!"
