Revelation of the Way of Heaven

The match finally began, and as the referee blew his whistle, shouts erupted once again from the surrounding area.

"Battle Spirit Team - Victory! Battle Spirit Team - Victory! Battle Spirit Team - Victory!" The shouts grew louder and louder, instantly immersing everyone in the tense atmosphere of the match.

The two teams had almost identical formations, with the boxer in front and two spirit mages on the flanks for cover.

The first to make a move was Natsume Eiko from the Conqueror Team. Since it was her first time making a move, many people were curious about what her abilities were. Coupled with her strange outfit today, she successfully attracted everyone's attention. Even her opponents, the War Soul Team, did not rush to attack. Instead, they stood still and watched her every move closely.

She slowly took the pipa from behind her back, held it in her left hand, and then pulled the plectrum from her hair with her right hand. With a stroke of her finger, a series of clear and melodious pipa sounds spread out in all directions.

As her pipa music spread, pink cherry blossoms suddenly appeared in the air above the arena. Then her playing became more and more intense, and the cherry blossoms increased in number until, in the blink of an eye, the entire arena was filled with these lovely little pink petals.

"This is..." Qin Xiaochuan stared blankly at everything in front of him.

"Illusion?" Wei Feng continued.

"And judging from the power of this illusion, this woman should have already reached level 6 in spiritual power." Guo Shiyi said with a frown, finally realizing the true strength of the Conqueror.

Qin Xiaochuan glanced at Natsume Eiko, whose expression was solemn, seemingly completely absorbed in playing the pipa. After a brief build-up, her pipa music finally reached its first climax. With a flick of her right hand, a series of sounds like tearing cloth swept through the air, and the fluttering cherry blossoms instantly transformed into three Japanese samurai wielding katanas, slashing at the three members of the War Soul Team.

"Oh no!" Guo Shiyi couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems like the three members of the War Soul Team have been affected by an illusion."

Just as she finished speaking, the Japanese samurai in the air rushed in front of the three of them.

The one who was most vulnerable was Lu Lei, who was standing at the very front. Just as the katana was about to fall on his shoulder, a dazzling spot of light appeared in the air at the critical moment.

Although the sudden appearance of the bright spot made it difficult for people to open their eyes, it still impacted their vision, and Lu Lei was brought back to his senses by the impact.

Even though he couldn't see what was in front of him, Lu Lei immediately understood his situation based on his keen hearing and senses. Just as the Japanese samurai's katana was about to land on his shoulder, his body suddenly sank down, and then he quickly took a step forward and punched the samurai in mid-air. The samurai immediately disintegrated into countless petals and flew back into the air.

After Lu Lei repelled the cherry blossom samurai in front of him, Zhang Chenyang and Peng Chengyumo also unleashed a skill to defeat the samurai in front of them.

"Even under the influence of illusion, he can immediately think of using an offensive skill as a defensive skill. Not bad, Zhang Chenyang is indeed very strong." Wei Feng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

What he said makes a lot of sense. Zhang Chenyang's "Flare" spell is usually used to interfere with the enemy's vision and create an opportunity for his own sneak attack. But Zhang Chenyang used it to help his teammates break the illusion. This shows how proficient he is in using light-based skills.

Just as Wei Feng made this remark, the War Soul Team had already begun to launch a counterattack. First up was Peng Chengyumo, who immediately formed several hand seals after defeating the cherry blossom samurai in front of her.

"Baptism of Torrential Rain." Peng Chengyumo shouted softly, and a torrential downpour poured down over the Conquerors team.

The rain fell swiftly, and the cherry blossom petals that had been fluttering in the air immediately fell to the ground, leaving behind a ground covered with broken, fallen red petals in moments.

"The rain soaks the fallen petals, preventing them from flying. I never expected this match to be so poetic," Guo Shiyi said with a smile. Seeing the Battle Soul team break through the opponent's illusion in the blink of an eye, the little girl was in a very good mood.

"One is a light-type skill, and the other is a rain-type skill. These are two completely contradictory skill types. This combination in the Battle Soul Team is too bizarre. I really don't know how the two of them will coordinate in a moment," Wei Feng commented from the side.

It's really bizarre; surely the two of them aren't planning to unleash a sun shower on the Conquerors.

Affected by Peng Chengyu's torrential rain, Natsume Eiko's pipa playing immediately became cold and dull, reminding Qin Xiaochuan of the line from Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" in his high school textbook: "The icy spring is cold and astringent, the strings freeze and break, the sound stops abruptly." But this change only lasted a few seconds. Soon, she casually plucked the pipa twice, immediately giving the impression that "a hidden sorrow and resentment arise, at this moment, silence speaks louder than words."

After a brief transition, Natsume Eiko suddenly slammed the plectrum down on the strings, instantly stopping the low, melancholic sound. She then moved both hands in unison, and the rapid, fierce sound of the biwa suddenly burst forth like "a silver bottle suddenly shattering, water gushing forth, iron cavalry charging out, swords and spears clashing." The cherry blossoms that had been scattered on the ground rose up again, and in a moment they transformed into three generals riding warhorses, brandishing their swords and spurring their horses, charging toward the three members of the War Soul Team.

The horses neighed like thunder, their momentum was overwhelming, and the sound of the pipa grew increasingly urgent, giving one the feeling of being on an ancient battlefield.

As soon as Natsume Eiko made a move, Peng Chengyumo immediately followed suit.

"Dance of Wind and Rain!" Peng Chengyu shouted, and a huge wind blade carrying a torrential downpour rushed towards the three warhorses.

"Bang, bang, bang." Countless impacts and shattering sounds came from the wind blades. Just when everyone thought that the war mounts formed from flower petals would definitely be destroyed by the wind blades, three war mounts leaped out from the wind blades and continued to charge towards the War Soul Team. With each step they took, a large amount of sand was peeled off their bodies.

"See that? This is the power after reaching level 6 in spiritual power." Guo Shiyi pointed at Gong Zexin, who had just used a skill, and said, "After reaching level 6 in spiritual power, you can change the shape and nature of your skills. The earth-type armor skill that was originally applied to yourself can now be used on others or even other things."

Qin Xiaochuan nodded. That was indeed the case, and this advantage was even more evident in their teamwork.

The warhorse continued to gallop, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than two meters away from the War Soul Team. The captain of the War Soul Team had been forming hand seals from the beginning, and at this critical moment, he finally released his first A-level skill.

"Blazing Light Slash!" Zhang Chenyang clasped his hands together and swung them downwards. Instantly, three huge light blades slashed down from the sky. The warhorses that had rushed to the front of the War Soul Team were all instantly reduced to ashes after encountering the light blades.

After annihilating the warhorses, the light blades did not disappear; instead, they continued to spread forward, shooting towards the Conqueror team ahead.

The three light blades shone brightly and were dazzling, with an aura that seemed capable of slaying demons and gods alike. The three members of the Conqueror team turned pale upon seeing this.

Despite being quite startled, the Conqueror team showed no sign of panic. Miyazawa Shin's hands moved rapidly, and three granite walls rose from the ground to block the light blade.

"Bang, bang, bang." Three explosions rang out, and the three stone walls shattered instantly. After this obstruction, the power of the light blade was immediately reduced by more than half, and the last bit of attack was easily neutralized by Natsume Eiko.
