Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

He Kan didn't exchange pleasantries with Shen Yi for too long.

After accepting Shen Yi's challenge, he was pulled away by several familiar duelists, seemingly preparing to team up to explore some place.

Watching He Kan's retreating figure, Shen Yi suddenly asked Vera, who was standing beside him, with a puzzled look: "How do duelists with cards like Idols explore the Soul Card Realm?"

The primary purpose of duelists entering the Soul Card Realm is to find characteristic materials, and the secondary purpose is to recruit followers from another world.

Whether it's the former or the latter, both basically require the Soul Card Secret Realm to have extraordinary power.

After all, without extraordinary power, there would be no materials with specific characteristics.

If the followers in another world aren't superhumans, then it's better to hire followers in the Starry World.

At least ordinary people in the Starry World still experience initial benefits from the genetic screening process.

If the natives in the Soul Card world don't have extraordinary powers, recruiting them won't have any effect.

The little elves are the best example.

Before Vera planted the Mother Tree and implanted extraordinary seeds in them, they were like those elven boys who had long been sold as labor. In the eyes of those companies, only their bodies were valuable, and they didn't even qualify to become follower cards.

Therefore, all the Soul Card Secret Realms open to students for exploration are, without exception, extraordinary worlds.

But idols and their followers don't have real power in reality, so how do these duelists explore the extraordinary world?

Upon hearing Shen Yi's question, Vera rolled her eyes: "That's why I had you bring that initial deck."

Shen Yi was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

He was so focused on dueling that he forgot that duelists in this world used to fight with decks of cards.

The fancy spell cards described nowadays were printed specifically for duels, in a context where points were generated through duels.

However, this does not mean that duelists have lost their old skills in real combat.

Direct damage spell cards and barrier/damage prevention spell cards can still be used normally in actual combat.

It's fair to say that these duelists may seem to only engage in card duels, but that's because only duels can bring them points. In reality, card battles have no meaning for them.

But things are different in another world.

In that environment, duelists don't mind using spell cards from their decks to fight in order to protect themselves and subdue their minions.

"Therefore, duelists who hire local followers usually have an extra deck of combat cards to use when exploring secret realms," Vera said.

Shen Yi suddenly realized: "I was saying that you wouldn't let me sell these initial spell cards a few days ago."

"See, it's coming in handy now, isn't it?" Vera lifted her chin, like a cat waiting to be petted by its owner.

"That's true." Shen Yi smiled and ruffled Vera's hair, which made Vera instinctively squint her eyes. "I was hoping that you could protect me, Vera."

This remark earned Vera a flurry of playful punches: "Hmph! Who wants to protect you!"

But judging from the doll's light, airy steps, Shen Yi's words were quite effective for her.

Can spell cards be used in battles in another world?

Shen Yi looked at Vera beside him, lost in thought.

I wonder what kind of damage those spell cards that deal 200-300 direct damage would correspond to in reality.

However, Shen Yi did not dwell on this issue for too long.

"I heard your conversation with He Kan just now."

Xu Ran's voice came from behind Shen Yi.

Shen Yi still had some impression of this person whom he had only met once.

Upon seeing him, Shen Yi was reminded of Nangong Ai's mother, Pei Qingyin, and then of the effects Pei Qingyin had.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to get Mrs. Nangong to join his team in the short term.

It remains to be seen whether Xiao Ai will be able to awaken a high-efficiency form like her mother in the future.

"Don't let his carefree attitude fool you, he's definitely not weak," Xu Ran said to Shen Yi, arms crossed.

"And what about you?" Shen Yi asked, looking at Xu Ran.

"Me?" Xu Ran thought for a moment, then said confidently, "At least I'm not inferior to him."

He paused, then looked at Shen Yi speechlessly and said, "Is this the time to talk about this? Didn't you notice those two guys from the Bear Altar Society looking at you with ill intent?"

Shen Yi is the employer of Aunt Pei's daughter.

They are also freshmen and juniors of the college.

Regardless of the reason, Xu Ran felt that she still had a responsibility to take care of him.

Many families in the academy have now united to ostracize students from ordinary backgrounds.

Although Xu Ran wasn't among those being ostracized, that didn't stop him from disapproving of such behavior. After all, genetically speaking, he still had half-ordinary blood flowing through his veins.

Like most new generations in the world, he was born through genetic matching between one of his parents.

But unlike others, he knew very well who his mother was.

Although the father had never interacted with the mother, he fell in love with her at first sight because she was his idol, and he bought all of her eggs.

I and all my brothers and sisters were conceived by my father using my mother's egg.

Although Shen Yi did not reply, he decided to stay around Shen Yi after entering the secret realm so that he could help him if Shen Yi encountered any trouble.

As for the task his father had given him, Xu Ran didn't feel it was urgent.

He didn't believe any dark duelist would be so bold as to launch an attack within the secret realm.

It should be noted that those who can enter the secret realm are all the best members of various clubs.

While Xu Ran was thinking, Shen Yi had already started observing the two members of the Bear Altar Society in the distance.

"Two members of the Bear Altar Society actually participated in this secret realm?"

"One is a club spot, and Cai Yu was the runner-up in the lower-ranked group of last month's college competition," Xu Ran introduced.

Xu Ran's club also had two participants, and he used the champion's spot.

"His father is a senior executive of the Gu family group, so the followers he uses all come from the Soul Card world owned by the Gu family. He is also one of the top duelists among the lower-ranked duelists in the Bear Altar Society."

"I thought that all those important figures had so many children, and that the ones who were given important positions were their immediate family members," Shen Yi said with a smile.

Xu Ran didn't speak; he didn't know how to answer that question.

It can only be said that some of the dirty work in the world of Soul Cards is inconvenient for one's immediate family members to do personally.

Although blood relatives are not considered valuable assets in the Starry World, having them do certain things is tantamount to stating one's position, making it difficult to shift blame later.

"I've fought Cai Yu before." Xu Ran was very modest, not mentioning that he had defeated Cai Yu. "You'd better not underestimate him."

Xu Ran did not directly tell Shen Yi about Cai Yu's deck information.

Because of the existence of bots, verbally reciting other people's card information can be monitored and result in fines.

No guide robot? The penalty will be even heavier.

In the AI ​​era, which requires the collection of massive amounts of data, it is impossible to have complete privacy.

Only someone like Shen Yi, with Vera, this magical doll, by his side, can avoid these troubles.

In short, knowing Cai Yu's name, it wasn't difficult for Shen Yi to find out her card information.

As they were talking, the instructor came over and began to guide the students into the secret realm in an orderly manner.

Shen Yi was at the back of the line.

"Ah Yi, someone is looking at you with ill intentions," Vera whispered a reminder from the side.

Shen Yi followed the gaze and saw that the duelist named Cai Yu was looking at him with malice.

Seemingly noticing Shen Yi's gaze, the other party cast a provocative look at him.

Shen Yi wasn't angry; instead, he became excited.

He was worried that once they entered the secret realm, everyone would scatter and no one would challenge him to a duel.

Runner-up?

Hopefully, they're strong enough.

Shen Yi thought expectantly.

******

In the Xiongtan Society's office, Gu Yu stood at the window, watching the bustling crowd in the meeting hall.

"I'll grant you access in a moment, then you can just follow me in."

He said this without turning his head.

"Don't you need me to take action?"

A silver-haired woman sat at a table not far away, speaking in a lazy and casual manner.

"I heard there was a duelist there who caused your brother to get expelled."

If Shen Yi were here, he would definitely recognize her as the woman who stole his spoils that day.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about this kind of guy. Just focus on your own business."

Gu Yu snorted coldly.

Although Gu Yu didn't know if the guy had sensed something, he hadn't used the [Temporary Notice] since then, but he didn't care about such a trivial matter.

He has many younger brothers, so Gu Yan is not an exception. At most, Gu Yan was defeated in public by a freshman, which made him lose face, but it was not something that required Gu Yu to personally take revenge.

As for whether Cai Yu and his men would cause trouble for Shen Yi, that was none of his business.

As for Gu Yan, he had already been sealed into a follower card and become a candidate for the divine body of the card cultivator.

"Okay, okay."

The woman waved her hand impatiently and said.

As she spoke, her gaze towards Gu Yu's retreating figure held a hint of disdain and mockery.

She witnessed the entire duel between Shen Yi and Duan Zhengming that day.

She always felt that there was an aura about the doll attendant named Vera that she couldn't understand.

If you underestimate him, you might end up getting burned.

However, she didn't plan to tell Gu Yu how she felt. In fact, she would be overjoyed if Gu Yu really messed things up because of this.

"Do you really think those guys can succeed?" the woman asked before leaving. "These are all the elite members of the gang."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Yu crossed his arms and said coldly, "Whether they succeed or not, as long as they take action, their goal has already been achieved."

"Don't they want their own independent world, to break free from the Gu family's control?"

"Then let them launch a spectacular attack on the Starry World."
