Insufficient balance

  As long as we can enter the top 16, we will meet Duke Pichi's Wind Dragon team, so we must pass the Prince Battle team. After a day of rest, we came to the same arena as yesterday, preparing for the most difficult battle since participating in the competition. For today's battle, I specially changed my previous white attire and wore the Light God Robe. Shouji and others also put on their own armor.

  As I stepped onto the stage, when I saw my opponent, a sense of unease arose. The five members on the other side gave me an impression of being perfectly cohesive, but in order to complement each other, we still chose to have a team battle.

  The match hasn't started yet, I let my teammates warm up first, and I stepped forward two steps with the magic wand in hand, politely saying: "Hello, it's an honor to compete with your team, King War."

  They were all wearing silver samurai uniforms, and they seemed taken aback by my politeness. One of the taller team members stepped forward two steps and said, "Hello, we saw your performance yesterday and know that your magic is very strong, but today we will definitely stop you here. Our goal is to be champions." Although his tone was polite, I could sense their confidence from his words.

  I took a closer look at him and felt that he had many similarities with Da Hu, except that he was older. I couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, are you the son of General Shuda?"

  He was clearly surprised and said: "How did you know that I am Shan Yun Xiu Da, also the commander of the first dragon legion of our country."

  He is the brother of Sen Tiger, I was mentally prepared, but he is the commander of the Earth Dragon Corps, which scared me. I calmed down and said: "How is King Shuda?"

  Shan Yun looked at me with a puzzled expression and said casually, "It's fine. Why are you asking this?"

  I smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after the game. Let's go all out and see if you can really block my way."

  Shan Yun was stirred up by my words and loudly said: "Alright, little brother, let me also see if your magic is really that powerful."

  The referee declared the start of the match, and as we had previously prepared, Shou, Gyoku, and Koutoku took the front lines, responsible for blocking the opponent's attacks. I was in the back with Touka, where I would cast magic spells while Touka shot cold arrows and protected me. The main offense relied on me.

  I don't dare to hesitate, with a wave of the staff in my hand, I start chanting.

  "Element of Light, my friend, use your endless light to dispel evil." Holy Light - allows teammates to be more alert and has a certain defensive effect.

  "Element of Light, my friend, transform into a sacred halo to protect my friends." Sacred Halo - encase Shu and the others within it, merging with their aura to form an even stronger defensive barrier.

  "Element of light, my friend, transform into a sharp sword and annihilate the enemy before us." Light Slasher - 6th level attack magic, directly attacks five opponents.

  I immediately used three 6th-level magic spells, and under the protection of the magic, the three of us, accompanied by my Shining Slasher sword, charged towards the enemy with our knight swords. The five enemies formed a triangular formation with Flash Cloud as their vanguard, and they all emitted white battle aura from their swords.

  When they were three meters apart, Flash Cloud let out a loud shout: "Starlight Five Evil Break." The five people's long swords swung simultaneously, and the five white-colored Dou Qi merged into a powerful white Dou Qi sphere that charged over. It was too late to dodge now. The first to collide with it was my Light Slashing Sword, which was almost ineffective and swallowed up by the Dou Qi sphere in an instant. Next were Xing Ao and Gao De; they hadn't expected their opponent to make a move at that position and were unprepared, unable to unleash their own combat skills, so they could only swing their swords to hard-block. Xiū Sī reacted relatively quickly, also letting out a loud shout: "Void Illusion Slash." His long sword emitted a faint, illusory glow as he met the attack head-on.

  The first contact ended in a crushing defeat, Gao De and Xing Ao were shaken directly flying to my side, if not for Dong Ri's timely catch, I would have been beaten out of the arena, with fresh blood spraying from my mouth, it seems that there is no fighting power left, Xiū Sī is slightly better, also retreated 5 or 6 steps, with a thread of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

  Compared to our miserable state, the other side is much better off. Only the samurai uniform has some torn places, probably scratched by my light-cutting sword.

  It's too strong, their combined technique is really too strong. If I hadn't cast a protective spell on the three of us, we would all be lying down by now.

  The knight's demeanor was surprisingly good, and he didn't pursue the attack. Calmly, he said: "You'd better surrender now. Although you were able to withstand this blow and surprise me, the next one won't be so pleasant. Surrender."

  Shūji leaned on his sword, supporting his body, and a fierce light burst out of his eyes. He said in a hateful tone: "We will never surrender! If you have the ability, then knock us all down!"

  Shan Yun shook his head and said, "You forced me." The five members of the Prince's Battle Team simultaneously raised their long swords.

  I couldn't wait any longer, I ran to Xiū's side, raised my magic wand and chanted: "Great light element, the closest companion of life, form the most beautiful light ring and sprinkle it on humanity!" As I spoke the incantation, a small light spot appeared at my brow, gradually brightening up, forming a pale golden small ball. The small ball slowly detached from my body and transformed into a magnificent golden light ring flying towards Wén Yún and the others. To concentrate my power, I poured all my magic energy into this one light ring, making its energy even stronger.

  Shan Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he raised the long sword in his hand, shouting: "Five Stars United Slash!" Five long swords were raised simultaneously, emitting five white energy beams that merged into a massive energy sword slashing towards my Radiant Halo. I focused all my mental energy on locking onto the halo, and when the energy sword struck it, my entire body shook violently, barely maintaining the integrity of the halo. If this were to be described in terms of magic, it would be equivalent to five mages casting their spells simultaneously.

  The opponent's Dou Qi sword was shattered by the halo, and the halo also bounced back. The corners of the mouths of the five people, including Xi Yun, were all bleeding, apparently having suffered some internal injuries. I didn't feel well either, but I was slightly better off than them. I struggled to control the stability of the halo, gathering magical power in preparation for the next impact.

  In this case, even the combat-effective Shu and Dong couldn't intervene, being forced to the edge of the arena by the powerful aura and magic. I knew that as long as we could get the halo to bind our opponent, we would win.
