“Who's that?”

“That's impressive. He comes with his own opening theme.”

Compared with the new players, the veterans were much calmer. Some were even in the mood to tease a little.

Because the settlement core of Dragon City had risen to Transcendent, it could provide more a.s.sistant to the summoned heroes.

For instance, before, the setting of the battlefield was solely determined by the power of the offerings, but now, it would be affected by the power of the summoned hero as well.

This hero, who was likely from the Tang Dynasty, probably had something to do with wind.

“It's him…”

Several Daoist priest heroes and Elder Meng all looked surprised.

Apparently, from the poem that was chanted, they had guessed who the rare hero was.

It meant that not only was the hero a famous one, but he was also an influential figure in the Daoist community as well!

Hum!

On the battlefield, as soon as the hero wearing a Tang civil servant uniform took shape, the Yuan North King took action first.

Her arm moved like a venomous snake and struck at the hero's chest with bone-chilling energy.

“Watch out!”

Qin Yueyu couldn't help crying out.

In contrast to the overpowering stances of the South King, the female North King's stances reminded one of the Bone Corroding Soft Palm, which could melt its victim's bones and internal organs.

The summoned hero would be severely injured if he wasn't careful enough.

[“If the wind comes up from the zhen, xun, and li, it will win. If it comes from kun, things will fail!”]

However, the hero seemed to have seen it coming.

As he spoke, the book in his hand began to s.h.i.+ne brightly.

The wind around him formed the pattern of a bagua diagram, and the blue wind blew the energy of the strike away from him.

It landed on the water behind him, forming a small handprint that went a meter deep into the water.

“Humph!” the North King snorted.

Although she was only a projection, it was obvious that just like the West King and the North King, she hated the fact that she was killed by the people of Dragon City.

This battlefield was to her advantage because the Water Stopping Stone enabled her to walk on water, while her opponent would fall right in.

When that happened, she could use the Water Stopping Stone to trap her enemy in the water until they were dead!

She had all the advantages in terms of the environment setting, but it was counterbalanced by the hero's wind.

Even her movement on the water surface was affected.

She could only stabilize the water around her and couldn't move closer to attack the hero.

Boom!

Therefore, she waved her hand and struck at the hero again, not bothering to hide her intention this time.

It was 10 times more forcible than the previous strike. Because of the ample True Qi it contained, the wind wasn't able to blow it away.

[“It's windy on the seventh day. It's late and ill, and people are uneasy when it comes to moving the fort!”]

However, the hero didn't seem fl.u.s.tered.

As he chanted, his book lit up again.

Wind gathered around him from all directions and formed a powerful upward thrust to lift him off the water and into the sky, just in time to dodge the North King's strike.

“Humph!” the North King snorted again.

She then struck downward.

The force sent water of a ten-foot radius into the sky, which pounced at the hero like tidal waves.

However, by controlling the wind, the hero had risen as high as the battlefield allowed, and even the waves couldn't reach him. They were still over a meter away from the hero's feet.

“Watch out!” several core players cried out.

The hero had indeed dodged the waves created by the North King.

But before the waves fell back down, they burst open behind him, and two men jumped out.

They were the Water Demons, the special force of the North King!

Just like the West King and the East King, the North King had never planned to fight this battle on her own.

Instead, she had transformed part of the offering's power into an unknown number of Water Demons, who had hidden in the water.

[“The cloud is a dragon, and a general loses his focus when he sees one!”]

The hero seemed to have sensed the people sneaking up on him, and the book in his hand glowed again.

Immediately, clouds in the shape of a dragon wrapped around him.

The two Water Demons seemed to lose their focus once they jumped into the clouds.

Their eyes went blank, and they moved much slower. They brushed past the hero and fell back into the water.

[“Yisi Divination, Book One, Celestial Phenomena!”]

The hero's voice came out of the clouds.

Immediately, the entire battlefield changed.

Apart from the blowing wind and the dragon cloud, illusionary sun, moon, and stars appeared in the sky as well.

“Humph!”

However, neither the North King nor the Water Demons were intimidated.

In fact, many Yuan people had similar power, such as the West King and the North King.

Because of that, they didn't even pause.

The North King struck the water repeatedly, sending over a dozen Water Demons up toward the cloud with the waves she created.

[“The moon is the essence of Yin. It produces an image, and the spirit contains a shadow. It takes the light of the sun to light up the night!”]

The hero didn't stop chanting either.

His book shone again, and the illusionary moon in the sky suddenly lit up.

In the silver moonlight, the Water Demons hidden in the water were all exposed.

[“When Yinjia lives in the bent of the river, monsters roam the land, and ten suns s.h.i.+ne together!”]

He chanted again.

The sun in the sky suddenly multiplied and gave off a scorching heat, immediately vaporizing the rising waves.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

The Water Demons, who had been exposed by the moonlight, squeaked in pain under the sunlight.

This battlefield relied greatly on the power of providence.

Apart from the capability of the partic.i.p.ants, it also involved the compet.i.tion of mental power.

That was why the battlefield had such a large scale, and some of it didn't make sense.

Since they were Water Demons, they wouldn't be able to withstand the power of the sun, which could punish all evil creatures.

[“Meteors are messengers of the Heavenly Emperor and the escaping essence of the five elements!”]

Then, there came another chant.

Stars began to light up one by one.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Immediately after that, they fell from the sky with fiery red flames and black smoke, smas.h.i.+ng down at the falling Water Demons who had lost the protection of the waves.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Several of them were killed instantly!

The Soul of Civilization used to summon this hero was an Extraordinary Level-9 one, which meant that the hero could use his full power during the test.

These Water Demons were Extraordinary Level 5 only. Without the protection of the water, they couldn't withstand the meteors.

[“Meteors fall to the ground, creating droughts for thousands of miles. All water dries up, and the king shall be slain!”]

With that, seven far bigger meteors fell with scorching heat and dark red flames.

However, instead of attacking the Water Demons, they smashed down at the North King!
