When Shen Sui arrived at the scene, the duel was already over.
The contestant nad Stephen was lying on the deck, barely alive.
However, he was not the loser of this duel; the real loser had already lost the breath of life.
Looking at the dismbered body of the dead Life Card Master, Shen Sui had every reason to suspect this was the most primitive form of a Dark Duel.
While speaking, several more Life Card Masters appeared on the deck.
These Life Card Masters had waves of Extraordinary Power on them, either strong or weak. Although not as keen as Shen Sui, detecting this duel without being blocked was still not a problem.
"What happened?" Louise spotted Shen Sui at a glance, jogged over, and asked in a low voice.
She glanced at the corpse on the ground: "So terrifying."
"A duel of Extraordinary Power," Shen Sui said simply.
By this ti, soone already recognized Stephen.
The attack on a participant in the Pacific Cruise Championship spread throughout the Saint Yimiti almost instantly.
Soon, the organizers notified all the contestants about the incident via ssages.
Although Stephen won this Dark Duel, it was evident he had lost the ability to continue participating in the competition.
As for the dead Life Card Master, the organizers did not provide any explanation.
While Stephen was still in a coma, this duel beca a shadow hanging over all the contestants.
Compared to the panic of the other contestants, Shen Sui seed very calm.
He still enjoyed the rare cruise trip with Vivian, just like the first day.
Although the vast expansive sea stretched along the way, the re splendid dawn and magnificent sunset alone were worth the price of admission.
Oh, it seed he didn't actually buy a ticket; these costs were covered by the Exploration Bureau.
Thinking of this boosted Shen Sui's sense of accomplishnt for getting a free ride.
But soon, bad news reached all the contestants.
The next night, another participant in the Pacific Championship was attacked. However, this ti was slightly different from the first; this contestant lost the duel, and by the ti people arrived, he was already missing.
"You seem very excited," Vivian said, sensing the joy deep in Shen Sui's soul as they returned to their room.
"Don't you find this like a scene from classic mystery works?" Shen Sui said, rubbing his hands.
"Turns out you like detective gas," Vivian teased.
"I don't really like them."
Shen Sui liked the atmosphere but didn't say he liked using his brain to solve cases.
"So, who do you think did it?" Vivian asked.
Vivian actually knew the answer when she asked.
When they just boarded the ship, they had already used their Divine Sense to scan the entire ship, including all the mbers on board.
Therefore, Shen Sui already knew that the person attacking the championship contestants was actually a mber of the Descent Association.
Furthermore, considering the situation on the Dawn Continent, it was estimated that Amans or other mbers of the Pseudo-Dusk Council had given orders to the Descent Association in the real world, instructing them to speed up the activation of the Magic Array or sothing.
Shen Sui was very curious about what the Pacific Cruise Championship originally symbolized for the Descent Association.
But soon, Shen Sui got the answer.
The next day, Shen Sui watched the fully recovered Stephen and squinted his eyes.
Stephen claid that his Soul Card perford the healing, and now he could continue to participate in the duel.
But such a little trick was not enough to deceive Shen Sui and Vivian.
They were both veterans at wearing disguises; such clumsy imitation could be identified at a glance.
Evidently, the Stephen in front of them was a fake swapped in.
Although he had the sa appearance as Stephen, used the sa deck, and even had the sa Soul Card, no matter how much modification he underwent, he could not conceal his soul.
Later that day, the missing Life Card Master also returned, offering a reason that sounded quite reasonable.
"This is getting interesting," Vivian comnted with interest on the replacents taking place, "Although the disguise is sowhat clumsy, it's still very effective in this world."
Shen Sui looked at the ti; it was about two days before they would reach the Nemo Sea, where the Pacific Cruise Championship would officially begin.
Two days would be enough ti to replace two more people.
Shen Sui recalled a docunt Zhang Fang had given him.
They beca suspicious of the Pacific Cruise Championship because soone from their country participated in the event and then seed like a different person altogether. Combined with other gathered intel, it compelled the Exploration Bureau to investigate the Saint Yimiti.
"Ah, I wonder if they'll co for ." Although it was just two more days before they could duel, Shen Sui was very curious about the form of these Dark Duels.
"You just want to tornt others, right?" Vivian rolled her eyes and said.
"Anyway, if it's defensive counterattack," Shen Sui said, "no matter how intense my actions are, they should be understandable, right? That's legitimate self-defense!"
Vivian didn't even know what to say; she even suspected that Shen Sui would go out tonight looking for trouble with those Descent Association mbers.
