80: Chapter 80: Everyone stand up, play "Spring Snow in the Courtyard"!

The Strategist from Sakura Country, who was one hundred percent certain that Chen Aoyun had used a 'joke' rather than an 'allusion' of a heroic spirit to drive "Seven In, Seven Out" a second time, finally found the feeling of being a loser when facing Chen Aoyun.

The setbacks that Sakura Country had previously suffered at the hands of Chen Aoyun seemed to be compensated for in this moment.

Chen Aoyun crossed his arms and did not immediately respond to his opponent's move.

His opponent felt that they had brought out a finishing move.

So Chen Aoyun intentionally went along with them, letting them think that he, Chen Aoyun, truly had nothing to say, no words to argue with, and no weight to place on The Scales.

Simply winning this Judgment was not enough.

What Chen Aoyun wanted was for Sakura Country to have a shadow cast over them whenever they thought about initiating a Judgment against him, Chen Aoyun, from now on!

When one side places a weight, the other side must respond within five minutes.

If this time is exceeded, it is all over.

Within those five minutes, Chen Aoyun put on an act: unwillingness, helplessness, despair, frustration...

The more painful Chen Aoyun appeared, the happier those two from Sakura Country laughed.

It was just a pity that this smile from Sakura Country could not be maintained.

Just when there were only 30 seconds left in the response time.

"Sorry." Chen Aoyun suddenly spoke, his entire demeanor changing abruptly.

All negative emotions like unwillingness and despair vanished in an instant, and he curled his lips in a confident smile, as if changing his face.

It was like a mischievous student who was finally about to announce his true grades,

"Who said the heroic spirit for the second drive of "Seven In, Seven Out" was [Liu Shan]? Who said I used a 'joke' instead of an 'allusion'!"

The sudden change made the two Sakura people's hearts skip a beat, feeling somewhat uneasy, but they did not believe Chen Aoyun could truly turn the tables.

The two stared intently at Chen Aoyun, and Chen Aoyun only said one sentence to make The Scales return to balance once again.

"[Liu Shan]... Sorry, you guessed wrong! The heroic spirit that drove "Seven In, Seven Out" once again is — — [Wen Yang]!"

No excessive explanation was needed. The power of the rules gathered, and a weight 'born from words' slammed onto the scale pan on the Dragon Country's side, and The Scales maintained balance once again!

The Strategist from Sakura Country was dumbfounded. It was clearly a finishing move, and he had even prepared to celebrate victory, yet the opponent just curled his lips, and with two short sentences, less than twenty characters, he rebalanced The Scales!

The more arrogant his expression was when he popped the champagne halfway through, the louder the 'slap' on his face was at this moment.

This was not the key to the problem. The key to the problem was that he simply could not understand the weight Chen Aoyun had placed.

Who is [Wen Yang]? Why did The Scales reset inexplicably when Chen Aoyun threw out this name, without even a specific explanation?

What about the reason? What about the logic? You said you didn't use a joke, but an allusion, so what exactly is that allusion?

What kind of allusion could allow two heroic spirits to share the same skill?

The 'scales', which possessed the will of national destiny, understood the weight Chen Aoyun placed, but Saku Kenichi did not!

It was like a lawsuit where Chen Aoyun, as the defendant, provided a piece of evidence, but only the judge could see the content of the evidence. As the plaintiff, Saku Kenichi only saw the cover of the evidence and didn't even know the content, so how could he 'cross-examine' it later? How could this lawsuit continue?

"Is it that this weight dropped by Dragon Country cannot stand up to scrutiny, so they deliberately blurred the details? But that doesn't make sense. The less an argument stands up to scrutiny, the more it needs to be supplemented with more language. Without explaining the logic clearly, The Scales would not recognize it."

Saku Kenichi stared fixedly at The Scales, not knowing what to do next.

Chen Aoyun smiled as he watched The Scales. He himself had a feeling in his heart, which was why he held the attitude of trying it out and argued by breaking up his sentences.

Sure enough, his defense did not need to be too detailed; he only needed to start it and clarify the main point, and it instantly turned into a weight.

How to describe it? It was like appraising a treasure. Chen Aoyun only took the item out, and the other party didn't even need to touch it or shine a light on it; they just kept shouting 'It's authentic', 'It's authentic', 'This thing is definitely authentic'.

They were just one step away from playing "Chunting Xue" on a loudspeaker.

But this made things difficult for Saku Kenichi. Saku Kenichi wanted to continue 'questioning' but had no way to start. Just give up the Judgment and admit defeat? Impossible!

"Who is [Wen Yang]? By what right can he drive [Zhao Yun]'s skill? You say [Wen Yang] can drive "Seven In, Seven Out" relying not on a 'joke' but on an allusion? Then what is that allusion?"

Saku Kenichi consumed Sakura Country's national destiny to turn these words into a weight and placed it on The Scales.

The weight had been placed, but The Scales did not move at all, still maintaining balance.

Chen Aoyun spoke softly, "This is not a question; this is asking for an explanation. The problem is, is it necessary for me to explain it to you? I don't think it's necessary... Of course, 'I think' is useless; the main thing is that The Scales don't think it's necessary. If you can't understand the logic of my move, it only shows that your level is not high enough."

It was over. This Judgment had already ended the moment Chen Aoyun announced the two words 'Wen Yang'.

Not understanding is your own problem as a Strategist of Sakura Country. With [Wen Yang] weighing down The Scales, no matter what you ask next, Sakura Country, The Scales will not change their balance.

This was too frustrating. Saku Kenichi didn't even know how he had lost.

After pondering for a moment, Saku Kenichi walked toward The Scales with a gloomy face. He poured a large amount of pure national destiny into The Scales again.

With the influx of a large amount of national destiny, all the weights that had already been placed on The Scales, whether they were the weights placed by Saku Kenichi or Chen Aoyun, completely disappeared.

Not only the weights, but even The Scales themselves gave Chen Aoyun a feeling of being 'brand new'.

"What is this doing? The Scales have been reset? Can The Scales be reset? An appeal? Is there such a thing as an appeal in Divine Judgment?"

Naturally, there is no such thing as an appeal in Divine Judgment.

Chen Aoyun did not understand Saku Kenichi's operation, but Zhao Hongxiu on the side guessed what the Sakura people were doing, " [Balance Beam Scales]! It does not belong to the category of Judgment, and it has nothing to do with the previous Judgment. Sakura Country wants to use national destiny to trade for an answer from you!"

Trade national destiny for an answer? "How so?" Chen Aoyun asked.

Zhao Hongxiu pointed to the 'brand new' scales and explained, "The old scales have disappeared, and new scales have appeared. This shows that the people of Sakura Country have already accepted the result of the previous Judgment. They have admitted defeat.

The rule of the Land of Judgment is that if the side that initiates the Judgment loses the Judgment, the national destiny dedicated to The Scales belongs entirely to the side that was judged.

Sakura Country has already admitted defeat; next, they are not questioning, but 'asking'. They use weights to pose questions, and you can choose to answer or not to answer.

If you don't answer, there's nothing to say, and everything will come to an end. If you answer, the 'value' of your answer will determine the weight of the weights Sakura Country places! How heavy it is represents the amount of national destiny Sakura Country has to pay... Can you understand it when put this way?"

While Zhao Hongxiu was explaining this to Chen Aoyun, Sakura Country had already placed weights on the new scales.

The questions represented by the weights were: "Why can [Wen Yang] drive [Zhao Yun]'s [Seven In, Seven Out]? What is the allusion? Why can different allusions drive the same skill?"

Good grief, three questions. The Sakura people's desire to get to the bottom of things is quite strong.

On The Scales, after the weights representing these three questions from Sakura Country landed on the new scales, The Scales remained motionless.

Motionless is correct! This is not a Judgment, this is an inquiry. The weights from Sakura Country have no weight themselves, but as long as Chen Aoyun is willing to answer, Chen Aoyun's words will turn into weights.

The Scales will always maintain balance. Because The Scales must maintain balance, the heavier Chen Aoyun's words are, the heavier the weight that originally had no weight from Sakura Country will become!

And the weight of Sakura Country's weights represents the amount of national destiny Sakura Country will have to pay afterwards.

Chen Aoyun smiled and looked at the [Strategist] from Sakura Country, "Are you sure you want to play like this? Three questions; however much I answer, your Sakura Country will have to pay the price in national destiny."

Chen Aoyun looked at Saku Kenichi with a half-smile and poked his own forehead with his fingertip, "Let me say this in advance: I can talk about these questions of yours for a long time! The Land of Judgment is my lucky place. Aren't you afraid that I will hollow out your Sakura Country's national destiny?"

Saku Kenichi understood Chen Aoyun's words, but not entirely clearly. Regardless, he had to figure out how the Dragon Country person drove [Seven In, Seven Out] for the second time.

Trade national destiny for information. Whether it's worth it or not, you Dragon Country think for yourselves. As for hollowing out Sakura Country's national destiny? How is that possible? Just three questions; even if you elaborate, what great truth can you possibly tell?
