"What did you do last night?"
The following evening, Xinyuan Tanchun looked at Shen Sui’s condition and said with so surprise, "Waking up at this hour?"
Shen Sui hadn’t anticipated that Isabella would react so strongly upon hearing Qishala’s na.
However, upon reflection, it seed Qishala and Isabella were indeed rivals. A vampire and a dragon, every ti they t, they would always have a few jabs at each other.
Still, as the Star Abyss White Dragon, usually, Qishala could keep Isabella under control. As long as Isabella didn’t take the initiative to provoke, Qishala wouldn’t trouble Isabella much.
But Shen Sui absolutely shouldn’t have ntioned Isabella last night.
Doesn’t this make Qishala think Shen Sui has an improper interest in Isabella? Naturally, she had to do so preventative asures.
As for the effect of the prevention.
Hmm, very effective.
Shen Sui felt he was drained dry, detached from worldly desires.
"Does your match tonight not matter?" Xinyuan Tanchun asked worriedly, seeing Shen Sui’s bad complexion.
Shen Sui waved his hand and said, "No problem, I’m very focused now, my spirits are high!"
Free from other desires, Shen Sui’s concentration was remarkably focused.
Today is the third round of the Modu Duel Tournant, the round of sixteen.
After the third round, the quarter-finals would be held next Friday.
"The contestants at the Modu Duel Tournant are all very powerful Life Card Masters, you shouldn’t take them lightly," Xinyuan Tanchun reminded.
And as Shen Sui and Xinyuan Tanchun went to the arena, a new month’s Forbidden Card review was happening at the Jing City Life Card Association headquarters.
In theory, deciding whether to add a Life Card to the Forbidden Card List requires going through a series of complex processes, needing cross-verification before making a judgnt.
There are often many reasons why a Life Card enters the review stage.
One is that the card perford too powerfully in matches, witnessed by everyone, and if they don’t conduct a Forbidden Card review now, it’s difficult to maintain the professionalism of the Life Card Association.
Another is anonymous reporting.
There’s actually a significant amount of leeway within this. By regulations, each anonymous report must be verified and responded to, but whether genuinely addressed or not has much room for debate.
According to the Forbidden Card regulations, each Forbidden Card requires a reviewer to travel to the Life Card Master’s location and conduct a duel to verify. They assess the card’s performance during the duel and its previous match performances comprehensively.
After all, so cards seem strong and fake but only achieve certain effects under very special conditions.
The activation conditions, synergy within the deck, and other factors all affect a Life Card’s strength.
But in reality, before most of the leadership was restructured, these processes were never thoroughly followed, and so cards were banned without knowing that verification duels were even a thing.
According to the Life Card Association, it’s due to an insufficient number of duel reviewers.
However, they can no longer use this excuse now.
The Exploration Bureau kindly loaned its mbers to the Life Card Association.
"Our mbers are all retired professional players, their expertise is unquestionable," Zhang Fang said to the newly appointed Life Card Association president.
The new president knew this signaled the Exploration Bureau starting to ddle in the Life Card Association’s affairs.
But he couldn’t stop it.
Once the Exploration Bureau’s report was presented, everything began to shift.
Originally viewed by the state as an entertainnt industry, Life Card Duel seed to suddenly beco very important, and the Exploration Bureau gained significant power over Life Card Duel-related matters.
The new president also knew which funds could be tapped and which could not. He decisively rejected invites from several dueling families, handing all affairs to the Exploration Bureau and beca a hands-off manager.
In such a situation, Zhang Fang obtained this month’s proposed Forbidden Card List from the Life Card Association.
After receiving the Huaxia Life Card Association’s stamp, the list would be sent to the World Life Card Association as part of this month’s Forbidden Card List.
Looking at the Forbidden Card List in his hand, Zhang Fang sighed at the cycle of fate.
Forced to retire years ago due to Forbidden Cards, he now possessed the power to influence others’ destinies.
But tis have changed.
The Feng Lindu incident and the Suffering Poetry Society incident had made the state realize the trend of Extraordinary invasions.
This trend couldn’t simply be halted by banning exploration of the Soul Card World. Huaxia could block it, but what about the world? Not all countries would willingly accept imnse financial losses just to stop calamities early.
Learning from past experiences, realizing other countries wouldn’t cooperate, the state wouldn’t foolishly sever its own limb, so plans to use mandatory duels to prevent the invasion of the Extraordinary were put on the agenda.
Under these plans, Life Card Masters focusing on duels would no longer be re sports stars making money from competitions; the elite among them would beco warriors on the frontline against the Extraordinary.
Having dealt with the Suffering Poetry Society over the past half month and sacrificing several elite mbers, Zhang Fang understood the function of mandatory duels.
It could forcibly draw Extraordinary forces into duels. But during a duel, the power of the Extraordinary would be fully unleashed as damage to the Life Card Master.
Thus, facing the Extraordinary in a duel could indeed lead to death.
"Extraordinary beings..." Zhang Fang slumped in his chair, rubbing his temples, exhausted.
In the uncertainty of whether the scale of Extraordinary invasions would continue to grow, to ensure enough dostic personnel to resist the Extraordinary, the health of the Life Card Master system must be ensured, preventing a sharp decline in the number of dostic Life Card Masters.
Simultaneously, to block the channels of Extraordinary invasions, the Life Card Master community must have an exceptionally good professional environnt, avoiding the repeat of incidents like Feng Lindu.
Whatever angle it’s viewed from, rectifying the current Life Card profession environnt is of utmost importance.
Zhang Fang, having suffered the past environnt, naturally knows the root causes of this adverse situation.
His first move was to reform the Forbidden Card system.
The existence of the Forbidden Card system is justified, as sotis one or two fake cards can truly disrupt the duel environnt; if those fake cards aren’t banned, the competition environnt will worsen.
But the Forbidden Card system shouldn’t be abused.
The Life Card Duel’s inherent nature ans that even if a card is fake, it will only be held by one person and won’t spread to everyone’s hands, nor will it result in everyone using the sa deck for duels. Banning cards simply because they appear powerful to so is very unreasonable behavior.
However...
This is way too fake!
Zhang Fang looked at the cards excluded from the Forbidden Card List nearby.
[Vivian’s Hairpin].
[Malicious Gift].
[Sinful Saintess Anna].
[Ard Puppet Soya].
...
Nearly ten cards, all from the sa Life Card Master.
The cards were excluded from the Forbidden Card List because it’s been less than two months since this Life Card Master’s previous card was banned, not reaching the six-month Forbidden Card cooling period.
Shen Sui.
Zhang Fang, of course, knew this guy.
Given his relationship with Shen Sui, even if the cards really hit the Forbidden Card List, he would probably help Shen Sui rescue a few.
But aren’t these cards way too fake?
Then he checked why the previous card was banned.
Oh... soone filed an anonymous report.
Zhang Fang narrowed his eyes, imdiately sensing a hint of persecution. Calculate the ti, wasn’t this kid just starting school back then? Already subjected to Forbidden Card review?
He checked the list of reporters and saw familiar nas appear, all professional reporters with dueling family backgrounds, whom he blacklisted just days ago.
Suddenly, he saw an even more familiar na on the list: Shen Sui.
He stumbled and nearly fell off his chair.
Looking at Shen Sui’s anonymous report material, then examining the long list of cards excluded from the Forbidden Card List.
This kid... couldn’t possibly be doing this on purpose, could he?
