In the hospital of Coastal City, medical personnel were busily moving around.

Shen Sui followed behind Xinyuan Tanchun, watching the overcrowded emergency building.

The teachers leading the team from Tianyi Academy were anxiously confirming the situation with the doctors.

"Song Feiyu is not in any immediate danger," You Wenqi said, crossing his arms and standing behind Shen Sui, his voice unusually cold.

Song Feiyu was considered half his student.

Now he lay on a hospital bed, possibly in a coma he might never wake from.

The mastermind behind it all was the mysterious power lurking in the shadows.

In fact, when You Wenqi first learned about Extraordinary Power, he had no concept of it whatsoever. For him, such abilities that only appear in novels and movies were not worth entertaining any fantasy about.

People are like that. When tragedy befalls strangers, many actually have no concept of it.

But when tragedy strikes the people around them, the impact is profound and bewildering.

You Wenqi never thought that losing a duel would carry such a heavy cost.

"Are you going to continue?" Shen Sui asked.

He didn't explicitly say anything but had already conveyed everything.

After a long silence, You Wenqi spoke again, "Continue. If we can't stop them, the whole world will be implicated."

Facing the terror of Extraordinary Power, You Wenqi hesitated and wavered for a moment, but the sense of responsibility in his heart drove him to overcome that fear.

"Losing a duel could be quite miserable, you know," Shen Sui said with a smile.

You Wenqi confidently raised his head, "Just need to avoid losing."

"True," Shen Sui replied, "As long as you don't advance to the finals, you're invincible."

Xinyuan Tanchun was a bit confused about what Shen Sui and You Wenqi were discussing; she was unaware of the existence of Extraordinary Power and the real reason for Song Feiyu's coma.

However, Shen Sui's joking revelation about You Wenqi's fears showed his friendliness towards him.

He only made such jokes with people he was close to, just like he had laughed several times about Xinyuan Tanchun being an undeveloped little girl.

"Well, I should be going." Shen Sui glanced outside the door and turned to leave, "I have to go find that Tianxuan Xiaowulang."

He already knew that Song Feiyu's last duel was against the so-called Duel Ghost.

And it was also his mission target.

"Don't lose," You Wenqi said to Shen Sui, "The Duel Ghost is not easy to deal with, especially when luck is on their side."

"Have you encountered him?"

"I have, at the World Championship," You Wenqi replied.

"And the result?" Shen Sui asked with some curiosity.

"I won."

"Didn't you say he was lucky?"

"I wasn't unlucky either," You Wenqi said, smiling confidently.

Shen Sui gave You Wenqi a deep look.

He was genuinely curious about the strength of the number one Life Card Master in Huaxia.

In the past, Shen Sui would have likely issued a duel invitation on the spot.

But now, he had more important things to do.

With this in mind, Shen Sui turned and walked straight towards the hospital entrance.

At the entrance of Coastal City First Hospital, under the gloomy sky, stood a tall, thin man.

His hands were in his pockets, wearing a washed-out trench coat with frayed cuffs, like a middle-aged man immersed in a mahjong parlor over the years.

His name was Tianxuan Xiaowulang, known as the Duel Ghost.

"You didn't say they would fall into a coma." Xiaowulang's face didn't look good.

"Any power must have a source," a sharp, low voice sounded from behind him, "any power comes at a price, and they are the price."

If passersby saw this scene, they would definitely find it eerily strange:

Because it was the man's shadow that was speaking!

"Don't feel guilty, Xiaowulang." The shadow whispered by Xiaowulang's ear, "You've already gained the power you've longed for, haven't you? You can freely spy on their secrets, hear their true thoughts, see their deepest secrets. Tell me~ what interesting things do you want to do with this power, Xiaowulang~!"

Tianxuan Xiaowulang closed his eyes, feeling the eerie power surging within him.

It was truly a marvelous feeling.

He felt a bit obsessed with this power.

After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke, "I'll first return to the country to challenge Dongye Youzai."

The shadow fell silent.

"You've gained this power, and you're going to play cards?"

"I wanted to defeat him, which is why I chose to cooperate with you." Tianxuan Xiaowulang's eyes had a hint of gloom.

In his heart, a bit of resentment towards Dongye Youzai had arisen.

If it weren't for Dongye Youzai, he wouldn't have been forced by the club, wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with the All-Knowing, thereby participating in such an affair, and naturally, wouldn't have indirectly caused the deaths of so many people.

Dong! Ye! You! Zai!

I will crush you!

Tianxuan Xiaowulang was already emotionally stirred, ready to fight.

The shadow was clearly startled by Tianxuan Xiaowulang's mental activity. It hesitated for a long while before slowly offering a critique, "Your Japanese brain circuits are quite novel... never mind, I should get used to it."

"Alright, we should probably go hunt for the next target." The shadow laughed sinisterly.

However, at that moment, it suddenly fell silent, and the words it just said came to an abrupt halt.

"What's wrong?" Tianxuan Xiaowulang instinctively asked, "Did someone come?"

"Yes," a strange voice replied from not far away.

Tianxuan Xiaowulang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man dressed in casual attire.

He instinctively used mind-reading on this person.

"Are you the legendary Duel Ghost?"

Tianxuan Xiaowulang instinctively admitted, "It's me."

The man revealed a knowing smile on his face, "Are you interested in a duel with me, Mr. Duel Ghost?"

"There's something wrong with this person!" The shadow behind Tianxuan Xiaowulang shrieked, "I can't see any of his secrets! Impossible! Impossible! In this world, there can't be such a person in a duel!"

Yet in the next moment, the shadow abruptly fell silent.

This time, it wasn't that it was silent.

Rather, it disappeared completely.

The area around Tianxuan Xiaowulang's ears suddenly became quiet.

But this did not bring him any comfort.

A sense of fear surged from the bottom of his heart.

"What did you do?!"

Shen Sui tilted his head, looking at the flustered man before him.

He hadn't done much, just casually erased that noisy shadow.

"Everything comes with a price," Shen Sui said with a smile, "Do you know what the price for gaining such power is?"

With that, he revealed the Dueling Device: "Same question, Mr. Duel Ghost, are you interested in a duel with me?"

Tianxuan Xiaowulang took a step back, completely unable to see through Shen Sui's intentions, "What if I refuse?"

Shen Sui shuffled his deck:

"It's not up to you."

Tianxuan Xiaowulang should be thankful to Shen Sui.

At the very least, he was given the chance to duel, rather than being directly obliterated.
