Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Grinning Villain — Luo Sheng
At Pingcheng No. 2 High School Academy.
Although the theoretical courses for Card Masters had already been completed, the academy had given the seniors ample time to meditate and enhance their mental jade.
But today was especially lively.
Everyone rushed over early in the morning, each excitedly sitting in the spectator stands on both sides of the battle arena.
Many people were holding banners and shouting, "Xu Shen! Xu Shen! Xu Shen!"
Some were even discussing, "Will this trashy enhancement master chicken out and run away?"
"That would be better. He can't afford to lose face, but I don't think he will. Men all care about their reputation… as long as we beat him, our goddess will finally be free!"
"Our goddess must not be violated!"
"Go, God Xu!"
A group of rabid fans shouted passionately, defending the beauty in their hearts. It was basically a massive fan meeting.
This is the society where entertainment dominates.
Who says guys don't follow idols? These people in the stands are living proof. It's not that they don't follow idols, but the media and public opinion just haven't done their job.
Luo Sheng looked at this scene, his mouth twitching slightly.
It's all the Card Alliance's fault. After the Dragon City destruction incident, to alleviate social anxiety, they pushed for an entertainment-oriented policy. As a result, idol worship and fan circles became severe, and Card Masters with low abilities became public idols, while truly skilled Card Masters went unnoticed.
This society is doomed!
"I thought you wouldn't come?" Suddenly, a voice reached his ear.
Luo Sheng turned his head.
It was Xu Tian'ai, his face full of hatred as he stopped right in front of him. "If I win, you can never appear in front of her again, move out of that apartment, and leave this school!
Don't worry, I've already arranged your transfer papers. Once you lose, you'll automatically leave. No one can stop you, not even the principal."
Luo Sheng glanced at him helplessly.
He had never wanted to live under the same roof as Qin Jianxia, enduring her torment every day. It would be better to hang out with his cardboard wife.
But now, Luo Sheng had changed his mind. He was going to live with the goddess of everyone. What could Xu Tian'ai do about it?
After all, the person in front of him was truly disgusting—an absolute pervert, doing everything quietly, making people feel nauseous.
Luo Sheng grinned. "What if I win? What happens then?"
"What do you want?" Xu Tian'ai was sure he wouldn't lose.
"If you lose, you'll do exactly what you said. Don't appear in front of her, leave the school, and you'll also have to compensate me for my losses."
Xu Tian'ai sneered. "No problem, but I won't lose! Your demands will never come true. Haha."
With that, he snorted and walked off.
"Really a pervert, even fanatical about idol worship." Luo Sheng shook his head secretly. No wonder Qin Jianxia wanted him to win.
At this moment, Wang Ke'ai walked over too.
She glanced at Xu Tian'ai's departing figure.
She raised an eyebrow and looked at Luo Sheng. "You two look like bulls in heat, fighting over a cow and smashing your heads. How boring!"
"No, we're just having a friendly card duel and in-depth exchange," Luo Sheng retorted.
"Ugh, if I believed you, I'd be a ghost." She then changed the subject. "What if one day, someone challenges you to a duel to pursue me? Would you agree?"
"Unless you're a cow, I'd probably agree."
"Asshole!"
Wang Ke'ai wanted to slap him, but her arm wasn't as long as his. She ended up hitting his forehead, and her small hands could only flail in the air.
"Short arms, maybe try again in ten years."
Luo Sheng grinned, showing an Anya-like smile.
At his taunt, Wang Ke'ai got even angrier, showing her little tiger teeth and biting down on him.
"Shit, are you a dog? It hurts! Why can't you bite somewhere else?"
Luo Sheng shook his arm, trying to get her off.
But she bit too hard and wouldn't let go.
Seeing his almost crying face, Wang Ke'ai finally released her grip, leaving behind purple-red tooth marks.
She smiled. "So, where would you like me to bite next?"
Luo Sheng instinctively looked down.
Wang Ke'ai immediately blushed. "Asshole! Pervert! How did I end up with such bad friends?!" She huffed angrily and walked off.
------------
Xu Tian'ai arrived at the battle arena first.
Soon after, Luo Sheng made his entrance.
The Card Masters or apprentices in the audience continued to shout, "Xu Shen! Xu Shen! Defeat Sheng Jiadian!'!"
"See, this is public opinion. I'm the people's choice, while you're the one everyone wants to beat. You never considered your position, did you? The gap between the wealthy and commoners is insurmountable."
Xu Tian'ai looked at him with disdain.
"No, you and everyone else are just a rabble."
Luo Sheng retorted, revealing the classic villain move: a grin, full of malice, before adding, "You know, do you want to know what Qin Jianxia looks like when she wakes up in the morning?"
"Fuck you!" Xu Tian'ai exploded, immediately pulling out a card from his card box. It was a Bronze 7-Star field card: Rock Matrix, which began to glow.
Boom!
The rocky terrain appeared beneath Xu Tian'ai's feet, quickly spreading across the whole arena, filled with strange rock cliffs, as if they had stepped into a desert.
Luo Sheng looked at the rocks rising beneath Xu Tian'ai's feet, eventually standing on higher ground, looking down at him.
To destroy a field card's coverage, you had to target the card itself.
But this kind of card had a special trait: the closer you were to the card, the stronger the field's effect became, making it increasingly dangerous.
"Look, Xu Shen's main support, the Young Rock Dragon Lizard!"
A spectator shouted, and everyone turned to look. Xu Tian'ai now had two large, rock-covered creatures beside him, looking like giant pangolins.
"And here comes the Desert Worm!"
Behind Xu Tian'ai, a giant worm appeared, its body buried underground, with only its hard head and sharp claws exposed, looking terrifying.
Luo Sheng wasn't going to back down.
He summoned three cards.
Bio-Mechanical Princess Alice, Fire Witch Acoley, and Reaper Intern flew out, transforming into human figures on the battlefield.
"Wow! Beautiful cards?!"
"I love it!"
"This guy's really into collecting cards. In just half a month, he's added a beautiful girl card!"
"White-haired girl, yyds!"
Sure enough, only beautiful women could catch the attention of the pervs.
Everyone's gaze shifted to Alice and Acoley.
The former had long white hair, a perfect and slender figure, a gorgeous face that was hard to forget.
The latter had red hair and fair skin, her youthful appearance made her even more heart-stirring, like someone struck by Cupid's arrow.
As for the Reaper Intern, it was ignored.
That just showed how ugly it was.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Defeat Sheng Jiadian, and split the beautiful girl cards!"
Xu Tian'ai looked down at Luo Sheng's three summoned creatures with a contemptuous smile. "Is that all you've got? Not enough."
Luo Sheng shot back, "Then let's see, you might be finished soon."
He then pulled out black mist, and his cards immediately spewed black fog, enveloping the area, hiding even his own figure.
In the unseen corner, he secretly summoned Bai Mo Xue, hiding in the darkness.
"Childish tricks!" Xu Tian'ai sneered, then ordered his summons. "Beat him up!"
The Young Rock Dragon Lizards and Desert Worms roared as they charged into the black mist.
And so, the battle began!
