79: Chapter 79 Dragon Kingdom Chess Player, you have already lost this trial!

Saku Kenichi, the Strategist of Sakura Country, noticed Chen Aoyun's unease.

Was it genuine unease, or was it fake?

It must be genuine!

Even if it were fake, the Judgment had already begun, and Saku Kenichi had no turning back!

[ Divine Judgment ] must first determine the content of the Judgment.

[ Seven In, Seven Out ] could be used again after the Heroic Spirit Manifestation of [ Zhao Yun ] disappeared.

According to Saku Kenichi's experience, there were only two possibilities:

First, Chen Aoyun had changed the logic of [ Seven In, Seven Out ].

The skill was still named [ Seven In, Seven Out ], but its effect had changed.

If the skill's effect changed, it was equivalent to a new skill, and naturally, the [ Heroic Spirit ] activating this skill would no longer be [ Zhao Yun ].

But this hypothesis did not hold.

Because when Zhao Hongxiu escaped from the encirclement of Togaya Atsuto's Cavalry, she very clearly used the word 'Out' seven times!

The seven flashes of [ Out ] were exactly the same as [ Zhao Yun ]'s [ Seven In, Seven Out ]. Clearly, Chen Aoyun was not just 'reskinning' the name to change the skill.

The [ Seven In, Seven Out ] used the second time was still the [ Seven In, Seven Out ] that Saku Kenichi was familiar with!

Then, only one possibility remained!

Chen Aoyun had not changed the logic of [ Seven In, Seven Out ]; the skill was still the same. Chen Aoyun was simply forcing the use of a Heroic Spirit related to [ Seven In, Seven Out ], changing the owner of the [ Seven In, Seven Out ] skill through the logic of a 'joke'!

And the Heroic Spirit possessing this joke was clearly [ Liu Shan ], who had made him suffer a loss once before!

Saku Kenichi sneered, " [ Liu Shan ] is already basically an open card, yet he still dares to use it! Anyone who treats the Strategists of other countries as idiots is an idiot himself! "

Once the content of the Judgment was determined, everything would be easy. Next, he just needed to determine the type of [ Seven In, Seven Out ], and the Judgment could begin.

A portion of national destiny was sent into the giant The Scales.

Saku Kenichi was slightly stunned, " [ Seven In, Seven Out ] is actually not a [ Legendary Technique ]? It's not a skill constructed based on a novel? Could it be a [ True Martial Skill ]? "

The first attempt to activate The Scales failed. Saku Kenichi did not pause at all; he offered national destiny again. This time, he labeled [ Seven In, Seven Out ] as a [ True Martial Skill ].

As expected, The Scales responded.

This made Saku Kenichi frown even more tightly. It wasn't out of worry for this Judgment, but simply out of shock that [ Seven In, Seven Out ] was a [ True Martial Skill ]!

Since [ Seven In, Seven Out ] was a [ True Martial Skill ], it indirectly meant that the Heroic Spirit [ Zhao Yun ] was truly badass; he had actually performed the feat of charging in and out of an army of thousands in real historical fact!

Watching Saku Kenichi activate The Scales, Chen Aoyun, standing opposite him, said nothing. He only squinted his eyes, watching Saku Kenichi's every move with an expressionless face.

If someone familiar with the history of the Dragon Country in the Old Era were the one activating The Scales, instead of Saku Kenichi, they would probably be scratching their heads right now: " [ Zhao Yun ]'s [ Seven In, Seven Out ], isn't that a story dramatized by Shi Nai'an... ah no, Luo Guanzhong in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'? How did it become a [ True Martial Skill ] in the Land of Judgment? "

Saku Kenichi activated The Scales of Judgment, then glanced at Chen Aoyun with great amusement; that gaze was indescribably confident.

Thus, Saku Kenichi began to place his 'weights'!

" According to [ Final Chapter Rule 4 ], after [ Zhao Yun ] casts [ Seven In, Seven Out ], the Heroic Spirit Manifestation disappears. The Manifestation cannot reappear, and this skill cannot be used again. Yet the Dragon Country used it! I want to challenge and judge the logic of the Dragon Country's second use of [ Seven In, Seven Out ]! "

He did not go straight for [ Liu Shan ]. Judgment was like a lawsuit; it required step-by-step deduction.

Saku Kenichi's words turned into weights and landed on The Scales, and the giant The Scales began to tilt towards the Sakura Country side.

Chen Aoyun, with a dark face, very reluctantly gave his response, " The logic is correct, but [ Final Chapter Rule 4 ] only states that a Heroic Spirit can appear once; it does not say that a skill cannot be reused. I used another Heroic Spirit to drive [ Seven In, Seven Out ], which did not violate any rules. "

Chen Aoyun's words also turned into weights and landed on The Scales, and The Scales balanced out.

The balancing of The Scales did not make Saku Kenichi show any disappointment; instead, it made him laugh heartily, " Hahaha, as expected! As expected, you used the method of switching Heroic Spirits to drive [ Seven In, Seven Out ] again! Different Heroic Spirits rarely possess the same skill, especially Heroic Spirits outside of fantasy origins, and especially this kind of 'single-target' [ True Martial Skill ]! "

Heroic Spirits of fantasy origins and [ Fantasy Skill ]s have the possibility of overlapping.

You have Thor, the God of Thunder, in Nordic mythology, and I have Zeus, the God of Thunder, in Greek mythology. Everyone can have skills similar to lightning, resulting in a situation where two Heroic Spirits have the same skill.

But this situation rarely occurs for Heroic Spirits outside of fantasy origins, especially with [ True Martial Skill ]s. [ True Martial Skill ]s are skills based on historical allusions. Can the same historical scene happen to different True Martial Heroic Spirits? How is that possible!

With the Judgment proceeding to this point, Saku Kenichi was almost certain that Chen Aoyun was forcibly associating [ Liu Shan ]'s joke with [ Seven In, Seven Out ]!

Since it is a joke, it will be judged away!

Saku Kenichi, having victory in his grasp, began to aim straight for Chen Aoyun's weak spot. He said, with his words turning into weights, " Using other Heroic Spirits to replace [ Zhao Yun ] and drive [ Seven In, Seven Out ]—the replacement is fake, the association is real! I want to judge the Heroic Spirit that the Dragon Country used to drive [ Seven In, Seven Out ] the second time. The Heroic Spirit itself does not have the allusion of [ Seven In, Seven Out ]; the Dragon Country people are using a joke! "

As expected of a veteran of the Game of National Destiny, Saku Kenichi was certain that Chen Aoyun had used [ Liu Shan ] to associate with [ Seven In, Seven Out ], but he did not name [ Liu Shan ] when placing the weights.

What if it wasn't [ Liu Shan ]? What if the Dragon Country used another Heroic Spirit to make the association?

A joke is not an allusion; the logic of a joke is very broad. It's possible the Dragon Country has other Heroic Spirits that could associate with [ Seven In, Seven Out ]. By not naming [ Liu Shan ], I am just saying that your Dragon Country is using a joke to replace an allusion.

It's like if you committed murder; I don't need to say what murder weapon you used, whether it was a knife or a gun. I just need to state the fact that you committed murder, and that is enough to convict you!

Saku Kenichi's words turned into weights, causing The Scales to tilt towards the Sakura Country side once again.

In Saku Kenichi's view, Chen Aoyun could not defend himself at all.

This had nothing to do with eloquence or cognition; being caught red-handed is just being caught red-handed. From the moment you, Chen Aoyun, forcibly used [ Liu Shan ] to drive [ Seven In, Seven Out ], you were destined to be manipulated by him, Saku Kenichi, in the Land of Judgment!

Chen Aoyun was dejected, " As expected, there are no fools among those who can become [ Strategist ]s. Forcibly associating [ Liu Shan ]'s joke with [ Seven In, Seven Out ] would be exposed. However, didn't you notice? When Zhao Hongxiu performed [ Seven In, Seven Out ] the second time, the Manifestation behind her was not the [ Liu Shan ] you saw last time! "

Saku Kenichi sneered, " Still making pointless excuses at this time? Yes, that's right. The [ Liu Shan ] seen during the first Forbidden Move was in the form of an infant in swaddling clothes, while the Heroic Spirit Manifestation behind Zhao Hongxiu when she activated [ Seven In, Seven Out ] again was a heroic adult. But the appearance of a Heroic Spirit can be changed. The Manifestations of [ Liu Shan ] as an infant and [ Liu Shan ] as an adult are naturally distinct, but so what? Isn't it still the same Heroic Spirit? Isn't it still using a joke to associate with [ Seven In, Seven Out ]? I have already placed my weights; what is the point of you saying these things to distract me at this time? Strategist of the Dragon Country, I have seen through your clumsy methods! You have already lost this Judgment! "
