Revelation of the Way of Heaven

The second day of the competition went smoothly. Throughout the entire battle, Qin Xiaochuan only used the Earth Embrace skill once, and Guo Shiyi and Wei Feng advanced all the way to the flag stand of the Awakening team, easily taking down the opposing team's battle flag.

After a day of battles, the four teams that advanced to the final four were Qilin Team, Zhanhun Team, Myth Team from South Korea, and Conqueror Team from Japan.

The Conquerors team, just like yesterday, had their captain, Shin Miyazawa, hold off the opponents while Gouki Yoshida used his unparalleled speed to quickly rush to the opponent's flag stand, pull down the battle flag, and win the victory. As for the other team member, Eiko Natsume, she hadn't used a single skill since yesterday, so her abilities remained a mystery.

In addition, the War Soul team, making their debut, also displayed astonishing strength. They took only five minutes from the start of the match to taking down their opponent's flag, and everyone could see that the War Soul team was still holding back most of their power.

Due to their extremely short playing time, the War Souls team and the Conquerors team became the two most mysterious teams. In tomorrow's semi-finals, these two teams happen to be each other's opponents, and predictions for this match naturally became the hot news that night, sparking countless speculations and imaginations overnight.

"Which of these two teams do you think has a higher winning rate?" Xu Yafen asked them casually during dinner that evening.

"Although neither team has fully demonstrated their strength yet, I still think the War Soul team has a higher chance of winning. The Conquerors team's biggest threat is Yoshida Gouki, and the War Soul team is certainly aware of this. Therefore, in tomorrow's match, they will definitely try to limit Yoshida Gouki's speed. Once they restrain Yoshida Gouki, Lu Lei can use his strength advantage to defeat him, and then the War Soul team will have victory in their grasp." Wei Feng carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams.

"But how can you be so sure that Lu Lei has the advantage in strength?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, puzzled.

"Because Lu Lei practices authentic Shaolin boxing, which is known for its power and ferocity. Among boxers of the same level, no other style of kung fu can match the power of Shaolin boxing," Guo Shiyi explained for Wei Feng.

He nodded.

"So what do you think of these two teams?" Guo Shiyi asked him again.

He frowned slightly. "Although I also hope that the War Soul Team can win, Natsume Eiko from the Conqueror Team is really worrying. She is definitely not easy to deal with. I'm afraid the War Soul Team will not be able to win so easily."

After hearing his words, the others fell silent. In reality, such a discussion was completely meaningless; the true answer could only be found on the field.

"Regardless of who wins or loses, we have to beat the Myth team first. Come on, let's drink to tomorrow's game." Guo Shiyi raised her juice, this girl never lacks passion.

But this time, Xiao Ni's passion didn't affect Qin Xiaochuan, because he couldn't sleep.

In fact, he had been suffering from insomnia since the day before the competition. Although he had tried his best to channel all the spiritual energy in his body into the witch's ring (which made him feel tired), when he closed his eyes, the image of Xia Ruoyi's heartbroken appearance always appeared in his mind, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

Now, any silence is torture for him, even though that torture has exhausted him.

So he had already yawned dozens of times before heading to the competition venue the next morning.

"Are you alright? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Guo Shiyi finally couldn't help but ask.

Qin Xiaochuan really wanted to tell her that he was fine, but in his current state, it was hard to be convincing. Actually, the thing he wanted most right now was to get a good night's sleep.

"I've just been having some trouble sleeping lately," he could only explain to her.

Guo Shiyi couldn't help but frown. "I've felt something was off about you since the day before the competition. Did something happen?"

"It's okay." He didn't say "no" because he didn't want to lie to her or make her worry, so he could only answer like this, but he also knew that such words would not have any effect at all.

Guo Shiyi clearly understood what he meant, so she didn't ask any more questions. She simply said, "Why don't you close your eyes and take a nap? I'll wake you up when the competition is about to start."

"No need." Qin Xiaochuan shook his head; he really didn't want to close his eyes right now.

So he was still yawning when they came on.

At this point, Wei Feng couldn't stand it anymore and said to him, "How about this, when the match starts, Guo Xuemei and I will be responsible for pushing forward, and you just need to prevent the other side from breaking through our defenses."

Guo Shiyi nodded with concern upon hearing this.

"It's okay, I'm fine," Qin Xiaochuan said to them with a wry smile, but he knew that no matter what he said, the two of them had already taken all the blame upon themselves, and they would definitely not let the other side break through their defenses.

He felt like he had really become a burden.

Fortunately, the members of the opposing Myth team are all at level 5 in spiritual power. Although it is a bit troublesome for the two of them, they can barely handle it. As long as he provides some assistance from behind, winning this match should not be a problem.

The match officially began. The formation of the Myth team was exactly the opposite of theirs, with their captain Kim Chen-wook attacking from the front, while Park Hee-young and Han Woo-ming assisted from the side and restrained Guo Shi-yi and Wei Feng.

Park Hee-young, the female player on the left side of the Shinhwa team, launched the first attack, and a large number of bamboo shoots suddenly sprouted from under the feet of the Kirin team.

"Watch your step!" Guo Shiyi shouted a warning while trying to dodge the attacks from below.

The bamboo shoots emerged from the ground at an incredible speed. With a series of whooshing sounds, the ground was soon covered with sharp bamboo shoots covered in their husks. If the three of them were not careful, the bamboo shoots would pierce through their feet or even their bodies.

Moreover, after these bamboo shoots broke through the soil, they quickly shed their outer skin and grew taller section by section. In the blink of an eye, a bamboo forest grew in all directions, and the lush green bamboo forest almost blocked out the entire sky, making the surroundings immediately dark.

As soon as Park Hee-young began casting her spell, Shinhwa's captain, Kim Chen-wook, charged toward the Kirin team. He was incredibly fast; the moment the bamboo shoots emerged from the ground, he had already reached the same level as Guo Shiyi and Wei Feng. In just half a second, he would have broken through their defenses.

However, Guo Shiyi wasn't simply dodging the bamboo shoots' attack. In fact, she had already started forming hand seals when Park Hee-young began casting the spell, and her Wooden Prison Technique was just about to be released when Kim Chen-wook rushed to her level.

"Wooden Prison..." Just as she was about to unleash her skill, the bamboo around her suddenly twisted and turned into a group of soft bamboo snakes, which lunged at her.

Oops!

Qin Xiaochuan immediately realized that the other side was using a feint attack. On the surface, Jin Chenxu wanted to take advantage of the chaos created by Park Hee-young to launch an attack, but in reality, Jin Chenxu was being used as bait to suddenly attack Guo Shiyi the moment she used her skill.

At this point, Guo Shiyi only had two choices: one was to quickly escape the bamboo snake's attack, but her skills would only be interrupted, allowing Jin Chenxu to break through her defenses without hindrance.

Another option is to continue using skills. She can control Jin Chenxu before the bamboo snake entangles her, but she will also be trapped. The result is a one-for-one trade, but the Qilin team will lose a main force with a level 6 spiritual power, which will likely be a greater loss.

"Wooden Prison Technique." Guo Shiyi chose the latter almost without thinking. Countless vines sprouted from Jin Chenxu's feet, finally blocking him within the defensive line. However, at this moment, the bamboo snakes beside Guo Shiyi had already darted to her side, about to wrap around her body in the next second.

"Earth Wall!" At this critical moment, Wei Feng suddenly shouted, and four earthen walls rose up around Guo Shiyi. Although they trapped Guo Shiyi, they also blocked the bamboo snake's attack for her.

"Dance of Thorns!" Guo Shiyi shouted angrily from within the earthen wall. Countless thorny vines burst forth from the wall, sweeping towards Park Hee-young and Han You-ming like a flood bursting its banks. In a short while, most of the competition field was covered with a layer of green thorny vines.
