The rankings and points of Life Card Masters in the real world are recognized globally.

In the past, there were too many domestic competitions, so the points from these events were lower than the world average. Considering the rigorous inspections foreign Life Card Masters face after returning from Huaxia, many chose not to come to Huaxia to earn points.

However, with the Exploration Bureau reducing the number of events, the points from competitions in Huaxia have significantly increased, enough to attract some foreign Life Card Masters to participate.

This phenomenon isn't very noticeable in less renowned competitions, but it's particularly evident in well-known events like the Huashan Invitational, which has gained some recognition abroad.

When Shen Sui participated in the preliminaries, he felt that even in a Class B competition, there were quite a few foreign faces.

"Are you okay?" Shen Sui saw Xinyuan Tanchun at Huashan the day after he was attacked.

The attack was too strange and terrifying. After receiving a report from Xinyuan Tanchun, the Exploration Bureau immediately responded by sending personnel to protect Shen Sui and Xinyuan Tanchun.

After much deliberation, Xinyuan Tanchun abandoned the idea of continuing to participate in the competition. After bidding farewell to her sister, she returned to Huashan to stay with Shen Sui.

Her reasoning was simple: when she was attacked, Isabella seemed to display a certain power to interfere with reality, saving her while incidentally killing the enemy. Clearly, Isabella was more concerned about Shen Sui's safety. Given this, she thought it better to stay by Shen Sui's side, so if a similar attack occurred, Isabella could also save Shen Sui.

Her career as a Life Card Master was entirely dependent on Isabella. If Isabella was happy, her career would go smoothly.

As for the attacker, Xinyuan Tanchun very sensibly chose to selectively ignore it. Such bizarre matters were clearly not something an ordinary person like her could get involved in.

"What are you doing?" Xinyuan Tanchun saw Shen Sui organizing his card deck, "You've been through a life-threatening attack, and you still have the heart to duel?"

During the competition, even if Xinyuan Tanchun got close to Shen Sui, she was still below the stage. She feared that if Shen Sui was attacked in the duel arena, Isabella, who could only display extraordinary power through her, might not have time to rescue Shen Sui.

"It's nothing major." Shen Sui said with a grin, "The bubble game starts tonight, so I definitely need to prepare in advance."

Seeing Shen Sui like this, Xinyuan Tanchun didn't know whether to say Shen Sui loved dueling too much or wasn't afraid of death.

Noticing that Xinyuan Tanchun was still visibly in a state of shock, Shen Sui began to ask her about some details of the Huashan Invitational to divert her attention.

Aware of her current unsettled state, and considering that the Exploration Bureau had already assigned people to protect them, Xinyuan Tanchun took a deep breath and started explaining to Shen Sui.

"In the previous Huashan Invitational, Yang Liguang was always the reigning champion. If she were still around, many wouldn't see any controversy over the championship," Xinyuan Tanchun paused, noticing Shen Sui smiling cheerfully, and continued, "Although you beat Guang once, many people believe that was down to a lucky draw and don't think you can reproduce that victory. Of course, Guang has advanced to an eighth-level Life Card Master, but since she is participating in the A-class event of the Huashan Invitational, there are many contenders for the B-class championship this time, you included."

The intelligence gathered by Xinyuan Tanchun is mostly available online, but her strength lies in her ability to collect, discern, and organize information. She can sift through the myriad of complex and seemingly true or false data to find useful information, and this time was no exception.

This ability is already close to extraordinary power in the network era, which means Xinyuan Tanchun is almost immune to the influence of information cocoons.

Shen Sui is indeed a popular contender for the B-class championship of the Huashan, but not the most popular.

Domestically, the hottest favorite should be a seventh-level Life Card Master named Wang Hongjing.

"Wang Hongjing?" Shen Sui asked puzzled, "Why do I feel like I've never heard of him before? Are you sure he's a top contender?"

Xinyuan Tanchun replied, "That's because you've never paid attention to anyone other than the champion. When Guang was around, the B-class championship in the country was basically monopolized by her, so it's understandable you haven't noticed this person. Do you know about Feng Lindu's rise?"

Shen Sui had some impression of Feng Lindu. He was the first person to truly infuriate Shen Sui since he crossed over.

"His sudden rise during that time was due to defeating Wang Hongjing in the quarter-finals," Xinyuan Tanchun said. "In fact, that duel was very close. Feng Lindu was a bit luckier to ultimately secure the victory. Before that, in any competition won by Guang, Wang Hongjing was typically the runner-up. In the occasional competitions where Guang didn't win during her consecutive victories, ten out of nine times she lost to him."

Shen Sui was taken aback, "So you're saying that previously, the top two of the Huaxia B-class competitions were basically those two?"

"Exactly, that's why the audience found domestic competitions uninteresting," Xinyuan Tanchun replied matter-of-factly. "The champions and even the top four were often the same few people. Even if their styles changed, they largely adhered to a general style, and the results were sometimes predictable, naturally leading to a lack of interest."
