23: Chapter 23 I won't allow it

Carrying the "tree of morning light", Chen Aoyun's clone moved closer and closer to the mountain pass in the canyon.

But before Chen Aoyun could rush into the pass, Saku Kenichi appeared before him!

With Saku Kenichi, who manifested the [Fukushima Masanori] avatar, in front and countless demons behind, Chen Aoyun was caught in a pincer attack. Seeing this, Heller offered a sharp critique from the commentary booth:

"According to the rules of this Game of National Destiny, one [Heroic Spirit] can only be adapted to one exclusive skill. Furthermore, any [Heroic Spirit] that appears in this Game of National Destiny is not allowed to appear in the next two games."

"Sakura Country's [Strategist] bringing out [Fukushima Masanori] will result in [Fukushima Masanori] being unable to appear in the next two games of the Game of National Destiny."

"[Fukushima Masanori] may not rank at the top of Sakura Country's [Heroic Spirit] sequence in terms of combat power, but his pursuit ability is strategic-level. It is clear that he is truly angry and really intends to put this new [Strategist] from the Dragon Country to death!"

Heller's sharp critique was laced with the implication that as long as [Fukushima Masanori] caught up with the Dragon Country's [Zhao Yun], the Dragon Country would undoubtedly be defeated.

The veteran commentator York did not fully agree.

"Saku Kenichi is using [Fukushima Masanori]'s exclusive pursuit skill. Once he catches up, it will enter the duel mode between [Heroic Spirit]s."

"This Game of National Destiny restricts the 'Strategist Skill' of [Strategist]s. Both [Fukushima Masanori] and [Zhao Yun] have used their only adapted skills. Additionally, in this Game of National Destiny, the items and tasks that appeared on the astrolabe board are strategic and hand-card types, with no enhancement-type items."

"As such, with Sakura Country's [Fukushima Masanori] facing Dragon Country's [Zhao Yun], neither side's [Heroic Spirit] has an exclusive skill to use, and neither has additional attribute enhancements. The two [Heroic Spirit]s will fight in the purest way possible; it is hard to say who is strong or weak, who will win or lose."

Heller looked as if he had heard an extremely funny joke and turned to look at the senior sitting next to him. At this moment, he truly felt that the senior beside him was old; otherwise, how could he say such ridiculous words?

But this was not necessarily a bad thing for Heller. Only by constantly seeing his senior make mistakes could he step on him to prove that his own judgment was more reasonable, so he spoke up:

"Senior York, what you said is not correct."

"It is true, as you analyzed, that when Sakura Country's [Fukushima Masanori] faces Dragon Country's [Zhao Yun], without exclusive skills or additional attribute bonuses, the [Heroic Spirit]s of the two countries will duel in a near 'blank slate' form."

"But since both sides are blank slates, there is no possibility that the Dragon Country's [Heroic Spirit] could defeat the Sakura Country's [Heroic Spirit]!"

York turned his head and asked, "Why? Why do you think that when both are 'blank slates', [Zhao Yun] is definitely not a match for [Fukushima Masanori]?"

Heller replied, "Does this even need to be asked? [Fukushima Masanori] is a [Heroic Spirit] of Sakura Country. A [Heroic Spirit] that can be used by Sakura Country itself must be a powerful one in Sakura Country's [Heroic Spirit] sequence, unlike the useless ones authorized for other countries to use. [Fukushima Masanori] has appeared in the Game of National Destiny many times and has defeated many strong enemies..."

York shook his head, "So you think [Fukushima Masanori] is definitely stronger than [Zhao Yun] just because [Fukushima Masanori] is a Sakura Country [Heroic Spirit] and [Zhao Yun] is a Dragon Country [Heroic Spirit]?"

"Such an arbitrary conclusion should not come from a professional commentator."

York's lecture made Heller angry, but he still restrained his emotions and said coldly:

"Arbitrary?"

"This is not arbitrary, Senior!"

"The strength of a country's [Heroic Spirit] is related to the civilization inherited by that country. The civilization inherited by Sakura Country is the powerful 'Yamato Civilization'. The Yamato Civilization is full of experts. [Fukushima Masanori] can be ranked among the expert-filled Yamato [Heroic Spirit] sequence and has the opportunity to appear, which is enough to show the strength of [Fukushima Masanori]!"

"Looking at the Dragon Country, the Huaxia Civilization inherited by the Dragon Country is a trash civilization; otherwise, how could it be that there hasn't been a single native [Heroic Spirit] for such a long time?"

"Since the Huaxia Civilization inherited by the Dragon Country is a trash civilization, then the [Heroic Spirit]s of the Huaxia Civilization must also be trash!"

"Possessing [Seven In, Seven Out] and being able to snatch important items using [Seven In, Seven Out], I can only say that the Dragon Country is lucky to have encountered such a [Heroic Spirit] with a suitable skill."

"A [Heroic Spirit]'s skills might have chances for trickery, but attributes do not!"

"Both are blank slates, no need to consider any rules. In this situation, the [Heroic Spirit]s of the two countries are simply a contest of pure [Heroic Spirit] strength!"

"One is a [Heroic Spirit] from the 'Yamato Civilization' that has long dominated the Game of National Destiny, and the other is from the 'Huaxia Civilization' that has long survived by relying on authorization from other countries. The huge difference between civilizations is the difference between [Heroic Spirit]s!"

"[Zhao Yun] facing [Fukushima Masanori] will definitely lose. My judgment cannot be wrong!"

Wow~

Applause.

The barrage in the live stream was full of 'applause' from the audience.

"This young commentator is more reliable. That old commentator is simply stupid. If both are blank slates, even I can think that the Sakura Country [Heroic Spirit] must be stronger than the Dragon Country [Heroic Spirit]. That old commentator is actually still doubting it? What is there to doubt?"

Amidst the commentator's analysis and the audience's complaints.

Saku Kenichi had already appeared in front of Chen Aoyun!

This Game of National Destiny values martial arts. When one country's [Heroic Spirit] encounters another country's [Heroic Spirit], both sides enter 'Duel Mode'!"

At this moment, the [Zhao Yun] avatar behind Chen Aoyun disappeared.

Almost at the same time, the [Fukushima Masanori] avatar behind Saku Kenichi also disappeared.

At this moment, Chen Aoyun and Saku Kenichi both changed from [Strategist]s to [Roleplayer]s.

And they were each roleplaying their respective [Heroic Spirit]s!

"Without a [Roleplayer], I used my clone to replace the [Roleplayer]."

"So, in 'Duel Mode', I roleplayed as Zhao Yun?"

"I feel the power of [Zhao Yun] surging within me!"

Covered in silver armor, holding a silver spear that flickered with cold light!

The cape was flapping in the wind. Chen Aoyun, who had no martial arts background, inexplicably possessed all the martial skills that [Zhao Yun] should have!

At this moment, Chen Aoyun felt that he was terrifyingly strong!

Looking up at Saku Kenichi opposite him, Saku Kenichi had also changed into the appearance of [Fukushima Masanori], and he also held an extremely sharp spear in his hand.

Saku Kenichi looked at Chen Aoyun and sneered:

"Both use spears? Interesting!"

"Kid, since we both use spears, I will soon let you know how terrifying the gap is between a [Heroic Spirit] of a powerful civilization and a [Heroic Spirit] of an inferior civilization!"

The [Heroic Spirit] duel mode isolated the world. Neither the [Zhao Yun] roleplayed by Chen Aoyun nor the [Fukushima Masanori] roleplayed by Saku Kenichi had any troops around them.

The rules of this national destiny 'Duel Mode' were 1v1, a pure fight between [Heroic Spirit]s!

"Your appearance is a variable. The Dragon Country should not have someone like you who can condense a native [Heroic Spirit]!"

"What's more, you snatched the 'tree of dark twilight' and actually managed to snatch the 'tree of morning light'. If you were to bring the 'tree of morning light' back to the Dragon Country's Home Base, wouldn't the Dragon Country be able to squeeze into the top ten?"

"Squeezing into the top ten, I do not allow it!"

"Allowing a trash country like the Dragon Country, allowing a humble civilization like the Huaxia Civilization to squeeze into the top ten is an insult to all other top ten countries."

"Therefore, you can go die!"

"It's not just dying in the Game of National Destiny. After I kill you, the Dragon Country won't have the 'tree of morning light' and won't be able to make it into the top ten, so you won't be able to be resurrected."

"I will eliminate you, this variable, on an absolute physical level!"

"The Dragon Country only deserves to be a colony of my Sakura Country!"

The spear was danced by Saku Kenichi, and Saku Kenichi, who had transformed into [Fukushima Masanori], charged at Chen Aoyun!
