With the success of the previous mission in targeting the All-Knowing Life Card Masters, Shen Sui and the others made the members of the All-Knowing in Coastal City aware of the Exploration Bureau's actions.

Therefore, Zhang Fang very clearly told Shen Sui that this duel might involve the intervention of extraordinary powers.

Just like the Suffering Poetry Society, it's understandable that the All-Knowing, as an organization branched from Secret Peeping Man, possesses the extraordinary power of World No. 8.

"Old You suffered a loss in the morning," Zhang Fang said. "The opponent used extraordinary power during the duel and almost caused him to lose."

"Did he win in the end?"

"Of course, after all, he is one of the strongest Life Card Masters in Huaxia today." Zhang Fang proudly said, "Even though the opponent used mind reading, he still lost the duel in the end."

As it turned out, You Wenqi's opponent used the power of the Secret Peeping Man during the duel to directly eavesdrop on You Wenqi's thoughts, trying to defeat You Wenqi in this way.

If he had lost this duel, Zhang Fang couldn't be certain about what consequences You Wenqi would face, so he issued this warning to Shen Sui.

"You may choose not to accept the mission, after all, you are not a regular member of the Exploration Bureau." Zhang Fang didn't insist, but he did offer a price that Shen Sui couldn't refuse.

Shen Sui certainly would not refuse.

Apart from the mission rewards, he was more curious about how the All-Knowing Life Card Masters would use extraordinary power in the duel.

Life Card Duel using mind reading?

Against a strong opponent, such petty tricks are just choosing your way to lose.

You can't even beat me when I play with my cards visible.

And this time, Shen Sui's opponent for the mission was somewhat special as well.

He wasn't a competitor from the United States but was a Life Card Master from the East.

Stage name: Tianxuan Xiaowulang.

According to Zhang Fang, this Tianxuan Xiaowulang wasn't a member of the All-Knowing, but he was a Life Card Master hired by them.

In Japan, he is also a top-notch Life Card Master, a legitimate ninth-ranked Life Card Master, and often participates in world competitions.

Because he can always draw the perfect card in duels and instantly solve the opponent, he earned the title: Duel Ghost adored by the Goddess of Fortune.

"Do the contractors also have extraordinary powers?" Shen Sui asked curiously, "Aren't they afraid of exposing something?"

"Guess what conditions the All-Knowing used to hire Tianxuan Xiaowulang?" Zhang Fang replied, "A ninth-ranked Life Card Master is not that easy to hire. Let's just say he was suppressed with no chance by Dongye Youzai back home, so he was tempted by the All-Knowing."

Shen Sui glanced at the competition leaderboard and indeed saw the name of Tianxuan Xiaowulang, and his score had already surpassed Tan Song, ranking just behind You Wenqi and An Hai at third place.

"No problem with a ninth-ranked Life Card Master, right?" Zhang Fang, seeing Shen Sui accepted the mission, said with a smile.

Feigning ignorance, this guy clearly predicted Shen Sui's choice early on.

"No problem." Shen Sui licked his lips, "I also want to see the strength of ninth-ranked Life Card Masters from other countries."

Yes! That's the kind of determination.

Zhang Fang grew even more fond of this young man Shen Sui.

The new generation of Life Card Masters might indeed bring a whole new shuffle to the lifeless domestic professional arena.

Meanwhile, Tianxuan Xiaowulang had already defeated another duel opponent.

He confidently walked up to the person.

"You can't beat me in luck." He said with a smile to the young man in front of him, "I'm sorry, but I've won this duel."

Saying that, he extended his hand and said to the person in front of him, "Well then, according to the rules of the gambling card match, you owe me a card."

Song Feiyu exhaled a breath, flashed a bright smile, and said to Tianxuan Xiaowulang, "You are indeed very formidable, Mr. Xiaowulang."

As a fan of gambling decks, Song Feiyu naturally had a clear bias in his idols.

Being able to achieve results in world competitions with such a deck is enough to prove Tianxuan Xiaowulang's strength.

"Haha, you're still far from it." Tianxuan Xiaowulang didn't even look at Song Feiyu's deck, drawing a card at random.

"However, you're quite lucky." He showed Song Feiyu the Life Card he drew, "It's not a key card that you lost. Enough said, just this one."

Tianxuan Xiaowulang did not make it difficult for Song Feiyu, although there were indeed several Life Cards in Song Feiyu's deck that could be somewhat useful to him. Still, as a ninth-ranked Life Card Master, he had his dignity, and he wouldn't force the cards of the weak.

After saying goodbye to Song Feiyu, our Duel Ghost gentleman left.

Night had already fallen, and the lights in Coastal City began to illuminate one by one.

Though not as luxurious as Tokyo, the familiar neon lights made Tianxuan Xiaowulang feel very comfortable.

He wasn't a person who liked to go out often; apart from necessary world competitions, he rarely left Tokyo for dueling competitions.

This time, however, he had no choice but to travel far to a foreign country.

Because he was mercilessly suppressed by Dongye Youzai back home, leading to dissatisfaction from the club, they had already issued a final warning, demanding that Tianxuan Xiaowulang must win the championship in the upcoming A-class competitions.

If he were a normal Life Card Master, Xiaowulang wouldn't even need to pay attention to the club's warnings.

If this place doesn't keep you, there are always other places welcoming you. I am a ninth-ranked Life Card Master; I have plenty of options.

Unfortunately, Tianxuan Xiaowulang was not a complete Life Card Master.

In fact, in Japan and even other countries, the majority of Life Card Masters are just like him.

The high cost of Life Cards and the uncertainty of drawing cards from the Soul Card World make it harder for Life Card Masters to construct a deck suitable for competitions than one might imagine. Just finding suitable Life Cards takes a fair amount of effort.

And the found Life Cards often aren't affordable for ordinary people due to their price.

Thus, clubs exist.

Clubs in Huaxia mainly provide card pool expansion services, but Japanese clubs outright provide professional players with card pools.

Many professional Life Card Masters in Japan, unless they come from prestigious family backgrounds, have a deck where only a few cards belong to them, while more cards come from club loans, as they can't afford Life Cards themselves.

With control over the cards, clubs fully demonstrate the sin of capitalism.

They force players to sign a series of agreements.

Allowing club members to rent Life Cards from the club's card pool, but as the cost of free renting, the Life Cards in the hands of Life Card Masters will legally belong to the club as well.

Thus, in Japan's Life Card Duel clubs, unless another club offers a high enough price to poach someone, once you join a club, you're stuck for life.

This is how a ninth-ranked Life Card Master was pushed to crooked ways by a club's task.

This is also the root cause of the Dongye Youzai incident—a world champion trying to break free from club control.

Dongye Youzai's confidence came from most of his Life Cards belonging solely to his deck.

Thus, half of his deck was put on the Forbidden Card List.

Tianxuan Xiaowulang had no other choice.

He raised his hand, touching the eye pattern in his palm.

This power fascinated him.

But this power also made him sick.

But as long as it helps me defeat you, Dongye Youzai!
