In the underground parking lot of the Modu stadium, inside a luxurious nanny van, a glamorous woman rubbed her forehead, as if she was resting.
Although it was already autumn, the air conditioning inside the van was set very cold.
A slight sound came from outside the window, as someone knocked on it.
The window slowly rolled down, revealing the face of a young man outside the car.
"Madam, the young miss lost." The young man lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the lady's face.
The woman, who had been motionless for a long time, finally made a move. She turned around, her semi-sheer black stockings reflecting the bright yellow light inside the car.
"Lost, did she?" Yang Huihui murmured.
The young man quickly said, "Shen Sui's Sacrificial Puppet plus Star Abyss White Dragon slayer was too powerful. Even though the young miss was prepared, she couldn't make it to the next round."
Before the match, the analysis team had studied all of Shen Sui's duel videos since his debut, predicting almost all the duel strategies he might use against Yang Liguang. Even without knowing about the existence of the Error War, they had calculated the possible appearance of an event card or environment card that could clear the field.
A clearing card isn't fatal to the Immortal Navigation Group deck.
The undead pirates would quickly claw their way back from hell.
What truly led to Yang Liguang's defeat was the low-resource, high-efficiency slayer of Sacrificial Puppet, Ada, plus Star Abyss White Dragon, Qishala.
Shen Sui launched with a single card, summoning Qishala, which required five materials for liberation summoning, with almost no effort. The efficiency was too high.
"This slayer combo is just too strong," the young man said. "With the resources the young miss had at her disposal, she simply had no way to counter it. The analysis team's suggestion is that perhaps we could report it and bribe the Life Card Association to impose a ban..."
The Star Abyss White Dragon, Qishala, is a Soul Card and cannot be banned.
However, as a follower requiring five materials to summon, it is still somewhat restricted.
What truly grants it such powerful slayer ability is the single card five material Sacrificial Puppet, Ada.
The existence of this Sacrificial Puppet allows Shen Sui to summon Qishala unexpectedly and swiftly conclude the match.
If the Sacrificial Puppet were banned, although Shen Sui's slayer combo would still be strong, the process of gathering materials would become very apparent, giving his opponents enough time to respond.
Of course, completing such a quick ban operation, the report would merely provide the Life Card Association with a reason to impose a ban. The real task is to use money to pave the way by bribing the relevant personnel at the Life Card Association.
The Life Card Association deals with tens of thousands of ban reports daily, and whether they process them or not depends on their willingness.
The icy gaze fell on the young man.
The young man's body trembled slightly. He knew this was the lady's expression of extreme anger.
"Do you think my little Guang needs to resort to such underhanded methods to defeat her opponent?" Yang Huihui's icy voice echoed in the underground parking lot. "The reason she lost is because the analysis team didn't do their job properly. Knowing that the opponent possessed such a powerful slayer card, why didn't they prepare for Guang to skip the opponent's combat phase hand trap?"
"Madam, such a card has never been seen before..."
"Just because it hasn't been seen doesn't mean it doesn't exist?" Yang Huihui wouldn't accept any rebuttal, and the young man's suggestion hit a nerve for her.
My little Guang is destined to stand as a strong contender on the highest stage, how can she be like those bugs using underhanded methods like banning cards to limit opponents and achieve victory?!
Yang Huihui waved her hand and said, "Go back and write a detailed failure report for me. I need to see the most specific analysis of this match's defeat."
"And since she has already lost, there's no point in continuing to participate in Class B matches. It's time for Guang to move up."
"Is the database of the eighth and ninth-level Life Card Masters established?" Yang Huihui asked coldly.
"It's been preliminarily completed," the young man said. "Their card decks, duel styles, and subtle habits during duels have all been thoroughly structurally analyzed by the analysis team. Several detailed strategies have been formulated combined with the young miss's deck. Moreover, every Life Card Master has a dedicated analyst closely monitoring the duel data, and any new Life Card appearances will be updated immediately."
Due to the element of luck in duels, Yang Liguang carries at least five strategies into each duel, making fine-tuned adjustments based on the cards drawn.
"Let's begin then," Yang Huihui decided. "Prepare Guang for the Promotion Tournament."
"The young miss just lost a match, aren't you going to comfort her?"
"Only by deeply tasting the pain of failure will she desire victory more," Yang Huihui said coldly. "Guang must understand this principle."

"Ah... so tired." Shen Sui said weakly, lying down in the back seat of Xinyuan Tanchun's car. However, his eyes weren't entirely filled with fatigue but rather a certain eager enthusiasm.
Xinyuan Tanchun adjusted the rearview mirror, looking at Shen Sui's eyes, and smiled, "The one downside of being a champion: the award ceremony is exhausting. How did you feel about the duel?"
"Pretty interesting," Shen Sui said, "though it was quite stifling."
"That's because you weren't well prepared," Xinyuan Tanchun mocked, "being too arrogant, having never lost since your debut does this. I gave you the analysis material, didn't I?"
Speaking of this, Shen Sui glanced at Xinyuan Tanchun and said, "Don't mention it. I'm almost suspecting you gave me fake intel. Eighty percent of the cards that guy used in one match were appearing for the first time. If it had been the original cards, the Immortal Navigation Group wouldn't have been able to unfold in a single round this fast... ah... never mind that, I really need to check out the Soul Card World."
"Why are you becoming so proactive all of a sudden?" From Xinyuan Tanchun's contact with Shen Sui, most of the time when he goes to check out the Soul Card World, it's usually because his Soul Cards are causing trouble and he has no choice but to check. This proactive checking is mostly for brushing Life Cards, an activity that's very rare for Shen Sui."
"I only just realized," Shen Sui said, "the Life Card Masters in this world are quite strong. It's just one careless move and you'll flip over."
"But didn't you win?"
"It doesn't count as a win. Personally, it was a loss," Shen Sui sat up, crossing his arms confidently, "I play cards for the thrill, not to be put in a bind. If it wasn't thrilling, then it's a loss."
Xinyuan Tanchun broke out in a cold sweat: "If you say it like that, when you enter the A-level matches later, do you plan on crushing those ninth-level Life Card Masters?"
"Um... that kind of goal is way too distant," Shen Sui showed his phone, on which a message was displayed, "I need to first see how eighth-level Life Card Masters play."
This was a text message sent by An Hai, inviting him to a duel.
A seventh-level Life Card Master like Yang Liguang was already so strong, and An Hai must be even stronger.
I must urge Alice! This little girl's card brushing efficiency has dropped too much!
She can't continue being so laid-back anymore.
