Chapter 124: Chapter 123: I’ve Traveled Through Time Again?

Shen Sui finally managed to shake off the chattering Tang Lili.

That cat-eared loli was surprisingly happy when Shen Sui defeated Xu Tianzhi, even though she was a fan of Xu Tianzhi just a second ago.

However, Shen Sui now had no time to chit-chat with Tang Lili.

With the Ranking Tournament over, he finally had a bit of free time, and now he should focus his main energy on the Soul Card World.

It’s hilarious, what else is there in the real world besides dueling? The Soul Card World has my wife!

When there are no duels in the real world temporarily, Shen Sui naturally wants to devote himself entirely to the Soul Card World.

Finding Vivian is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

From the various clues gathered so far, it seems that Vivian at least once visited the real world.

But her record of invading other worlds didn’t appear in her No. 9 Diary.

At the end of the No. 9 Diary, Vivian mentioned she was going to Modena City to meet with Baris.

So, the Vivian who invaded reality should be the Vivian from after that timeline.

However, Shen Sui was not sure if Vivian came to reality before or after she was burned to death.

But he burned the entire Modena City to the ground and didn’t find any clues about Vivian.

There are definitely some big issues here, and Shen Sui urgently needs to find clues to fill in these gaps.

But because of Andori’s loose tongue, Alice is now determined to go to the Elf Forest, which forced Shen Sui to change his original plan, even with Isabella.

So, at the first opportunity after returning to the academy, Shen Sui contacted Xinyuan Tanchun.

At this moment, Xinyuan Tanchun happened to be in the academy.

“I say, why are you always in the academy?” Shen Sui looked at Xinyuan Tanchun rather speechlessly, “Aren’t you a professional player? Aren’t you going to upgrade to rank seven? Shouldn’t you be competing worldwide to accumulate enough points?”

“I’ve already accumulated enough points!” Xinyuan Tanchun argued confidently, “Now just waiting for the Promotion Tournament’s notice.”

Shen Sui glanced at Xinyuan Tanchun, complaining: “My esteemed coach, don’t let me reach rank seven before you do.”

“Hmmph! That’s impossible!” Xinyuan Tanchun lifted her head, confidently saying, “I’ve obtained lots of new Life Cards recently!”

Since Shen Sui gave Xinyuan Tanchun some guides, she finally figured out how to deal with Isabella, although she still couldn’t instruct Isabella, she could at least benefit a bit by following her.

“Whoa! You’re at rank five!” Xinyuan Tanchun sat down, feeling her phone vibrate, and after glancing at the news, shouted in surprise.

“I mean…” Shen Sui said speechlessly, “Are you really my coach? Why don’t you care about my Ranking Tournament at all?”

“Aren’t I caring now?” Xinyuan Tanchun said as she looked at the news.

“Caring through the news?” Shen Sui rolled his eyes, “This is the first time I’ve seen a coach learn about their student’s advancement through the news.”

“You’ll also see politicians learning about their country’s important affairs through the news,” Xinyuan Tanchun retorted, justified.

Shen Sui no longer bothered to bicker with Xinyuan Tanchun.

He told Xinyuan Tanchun the main purpose of his coming to see her this time.

“Huh? Change the meeting location?” Xinyuan Tanchun shivered, “Do you know how much Isabella is looking forward to this meeting? If you ask me to convey this, she’ll kill me.”

“It’s just changing the meeting location, it’s not like you’re not meeting.”

“No!” Xinyuan Tanchun raised her hand and said seriously, “Isabella will definitely think this is an excuse for me deceiving her! Next, she will assume all I said about Claude earlier were lies. She will really kill me. I managed to increase my favorability with Soul Cards with great difficulty, you can’t sabotage me like this, Shen Sui.”

“If the scheduled time comes and you don’t see anyone at the agreed place, Isabella will truly kill you,” Shen Sui said with a smile.

Xinyuan Tanchun puffed her cheeks.

She naturally knew the possible consequences of conveying this message, but what else could she do? Shen Sui’s meaning was already very clear, Claude wouldn’t appear at that time and place.

“Fine, I’ll try,” Xinyuan Tanchun gritted her teeth and said, “If I lose my link to the Soul Card World because of this, I’ll haunt you even as a ghost, Shen Sui!”

After consoling Xinyuan Tanchun, Shen Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to Qishala, whose soul is elsewhere, Isabella, who is always active on the Dawn Continent, is a better source of information.

Now that Shen Sui had verified Claude’s power, he was no longer afraid of any opponent. After suppressing the unease in his heart from the last change of an old friend, Shen Sui turned and walked towards his dormitory.

He wasn’t sure when Qishala would return to the Dawn Continent.

But he estimated it would be in the next few days.

Alice was now headed towards the Elf Forest with all her might.

She no longer had the mind to cause trouble along the way.

But unfortunately, our Miss Alice seems to have a natural aptitude for attracting disasters. Even when she behaved herself, she still had to fend off nine waves of bandits and thirteen attempts of noble lecherous acts.

Meanwhile, the War God Church officially started expanding their battles outward.

They didn’t dare start a war with the Daylight Church, but bullying other churches was still viable.

The Dawn Continent was once again overshadowed by war.

But this time, it finally had nothing to do with Alice.

When Shen Sui returned to his dormitory, it was already evening.

He leisurely finished dinner, washed, changed into his pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

Having reached rank five, he officially embarked on the path of a professional Life Card Master, which means that apart from necessary cultural courses, he didn’t need to study any professional courses. Barring anything unexpected, after finishing his first year, Shen Sui could apply for early graduation as a rank-five Life Card Master.

However, whether to apply still depends on the situation then.

Don’t you see that in other Duel Academies, there are plenty of students at ranks six or seven, mainly because staying in school has some benefits.

And this is why Tianyi Club doesn’t expect Shen Sui to make it into the top four.

You might defeat Xu Tianzhi, which could be amazing, but it might also be just a stroke of luck.

While those rank six or seven strengths are genuinely trained, tested on professional fields.

Shen Sui didn’t mind; instead, he was a bit excited.

Dueling is only interesting when opponents are strong enough.

Lying on the bed, Shen Sui input a command into the dueling device, then lay back.

[You slowly closed your eyes, feeling the familiar aura of self.]

[That’s your self.]

[You gradually guided, drawing your consciousness back to reality.]

[You succeeded.]

[At least partially succeeded.]

[The time of regaining self is brief and precious, you tried your best to open your eyes.]

Shen Sui slowly opened his eyes.

The blue sky came into his view, and a chill spread from his neck.

Touching with his hand, Qishala was hugging his neck, breathing slowly.

Her soul was still on its way here.

In front of Shen Sui was a familiar skill bar and a small chat-box-like frame showing text:

[You are sleeping in the dormitory.]
