Revelation of the Way of Heaven

When they arrived at the competition venue, Qin Xiaochuan finally understood why Teacher Xu Yafen had specifically told them about adding more commentators.

A commentary booth was specially set up at the handle of a teapot in the Jade Pot Pavilion. Sitting there, one could have a clear view of the entire competition. As professional commentators, every word they said could affect the emotions of the audience and, to some extent, the fighting spirit of the participating athletes.

"Hello everyone, we meet again. We are Dawei and Xiaolong, the commentators for this final. Today, we will witness the birth of the first Asian Supernatural Ability Exchange Competition champion with you."

"This morning we watched the third-place match together. Even with one less member, the War Soul team still put on a thrilling game against the Myth team. Although they ultimately lost, their spirit of never giving up and fighting to the very end is something we should all learn from..."

Hearing that the Battle Soul team had ultimately lost, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. With their strength, the Battle Soul team should have had no problem defeating the Myth team, but now they had to settle for fourth place. He suddenly remembered what Zhang Chenyang had told him yesterday, "If possible, help us give that Yoshida Gouki a good beating."

He glanced at the Conquerors team. Although they were still sitting in their seats with blank expressions, they looked much more relaxed than yesterday. They probably thought they were weaker than the War Souls team, so they didn't take them seriously.

"Dawei, what's your opinion on this match?" With a while before the match, the commentator began analyzing the overall situation of both sides for the audience.

"The Qilin team has fought their way from the preliminaries to the finals, demonstrating their formidable strength. They are undoubtedly the strongest team in XY City, and I'm sure they'll deliver a spectacular match. But—"

Someone once said that when listening to someone speak, once you hear the word "but," you can ignore everything you heard before. After David said "but," his voice immediately became low, and his tone seemed to be filled with helplessness and regret.

"In yesterday's match between the Conquerors and the War Souls, the Conquerors also demonstrated their formidable strength. Through that match, we can conclude that all members of the Conquerors team have reached level 6. In contrast, only captain Guo Shiyi of the Qilin team from Mingde University has reached level 6 in spiritual power. Therefore, there is still a considerable gap in strength between the two teams."

"That's right," Xiaolong chimed in. "But even so, I believe the Qilin team can definitely give it their all, just like the Zhanhun team. That's the real meaning of the competition; it's not about determining the final ranking, but about conveying the spirit of hard work and competition."

"Xiaolong is absolutely right." The two of them were like comedians, "So no matter what the result of this match is, I still hope that the audience can accept the final result rationally and pass on your encouragement to these young players."

Uh, Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi exchanged a stunned glance. These two commentators had already made excuses for their failure in advance, which made them, who were preparing to participate in the competition, feel terrible.

However, if they really lose, I wonder how much the audience will criticize them. Making excuses in advance is indeed a good idea, and it can be seen as the two commentators being kind to them.

The competition finally began. Although most people were not optimistic about their chances, they still cheered them on with all their might, which was quite gratifying.

"Go Qilin Team! Go Qilin Team! Go Qilin Team!"

Amidst shouts, the Kirin team launched the first attack, as they had planned in advance. The biggest threat to the opponent was Yoshida Goki. As long as they could suppress the opponent's formation with a fierce offensive and prevent Yoshida Goki from having a chance to break through the defense line, they would have a chance to win.

"Dance of Thorns!" Guo Shiyi shouted, and a tide of thorns spread towards the Conquerors team.

"As everyone saw, Team Qilin launched the first attack. Captain Guo Shiyi's first skill was the wood-type 'Dance of Thorns,' while Team Conqueror's captain, Miyazawa Shin, responded by using the skill 'Geological Lithification' to stop her attack."

Commentator Dawei's voice rang out again from the commentary booth. Affected by Gong Ze's new skill, Guo Shiyi's thorns could only spread to two meters in front of the Conqueror team. Immediately afterwards, Wei Feng launched a second wave of attacks.

"Flame Impact!" With Wei Feng's shout, a flame shot forward. The wooden vines were immediately ignited upon contact with the flames. The wood fueled the fire, making the flames even stronger. The raging fire roared towards the Conqueror team like an angry fire dragon.

At the same time, Qin Xiaochuan immediately formed several hand seals, shouting, "Meteor Shower!" Instantly, a rain of fire rained down from above the Conqueror team.

Attacked from two sides at once, the Conquerors had to retreat five meters. At the same time, Miyazawa Shin also unleashed his second defensive skill, "Rock Wall".

A row of stone formations stood in front of the flames, effectively blocking their impact.

"The Qilin team's offensive is fierce from the start," Xiaolong's commentary rang out again. "So far, the Conquerors team has only adopted a defensive strategy. It has to be said that the Qilin team's continuous offensive strategy is very successful. As long as the Conquerors team is not given a chance to attack, the Qilin team's chances of winning have increased by at least 20%."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Conquerors launched a counterattack. First up was Natsume Eiko. When her biwa music started, Qin Xiaochuan felt as if countless cherry blossoms were fluttering in front of him. The cherry blossoms were so beautiful, with delicate pink blossoms everywhere. He felt as if he were in a fantasy world from a book.

Illusion! He immediately realized his current situation; without his knowledge, he had fallen under Natsume Eiko's illusion.

This is far too dangerous. If it were a two-on-one fight, it would be tantamount to being at the mercy of the enemy.

However, although he realized the danger, he couldn't break the illusion in a short time, which was a real headache.

What to do? What to do? Just as he was racking his brains for a solution, a sharp pain suddenly came from his back. Then, a clear light flashed in his mind, and all the cherry blossom petals in the sky disappeared instantly.

So that's why Han Kexin had him bring it along. She was right to have foresight. Qin Xiaochuan figured that Han Kexin and Xiaoying must be watching him somewhere in the arena.

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through his mind. When facing the enemy in battle, he would not be foolish enough to look around aimlessly.

As elite disciples of the Wudang Sect, Guo Shiyi and Wei Feng were indeed far more capable of dealing with illusions than he was. By the time he regained his senses, the two of them were already fully focused on dealing with the Conqueror's second wave of attacks.

Just like in yesterday's competition, three armored warhorses were charging towards them menacingly, kicking up countless dust and flower petals along the way.

"Muddy road." Wei Feng shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath the warhorse's hooves turned into a small swamp. The swamp was so deep that it submerged the warhorse's entire lower legs. Under these circumstances, the warhorse's charging speed immediately slowed down.

"Shadow Binding." Guo Shiyi's skill arrived immediately, and a clump of black wooden vines grew out of the swamp, wrapping around the warhorse like a ghost.
