I really didn't want to burn it.

"The function of that magic array is to transfer the magical power of the Great Qin Dragon Vein to your so-called Holy Grail. The strange phenomena that occurred at Baiyun Mountain are actually just the result of the overflow of magical power."

Zhang Liang concluded.

"I was careless, Zhang Liang."

Li Ang shared his assessment of his old rival.

"Yes, if that girl were only 16, none of this would have happened. We've definitely been on guard and won't fall for it."

"What does that Heroic Spirit intend to do with the Holy Grail? With so much magical power... if the anomalies at White Cloud Mountain are merely the overflowing magical power of the Holy Grail, then the Holy Grail itself..."

"I don't know either. That kid didn't tell us. All I know is that he used the cup to summon several beings similar to himself."

"That heroic spirit summoned another bunch of kids? Is this script being rewritten like 'Calabash Brothers' again? Are you guys playing me? Changing the script like this!"

"It looks like a summoned heroic spirit no matter how you look at it!"

If she weren't outmatched, Ritsuka would have loved to take her junior's shield and smash it over Li Ang's head.

"The most important thing right now is intelligence. That Heroic Spirit looks like our enemy no matter how you look at it," Red A asked. "How many Heroic Spirits do we have now?"

"I don't know, I don't dare go near that kid at all."

"How come you don't know anything? What use are you?!"

Just as Li Ang was making his usual sarcastic remarks, he noticed a flash of light out of the corner of his eye.

"Um!?"

PS: The mysterious forces of China in the Type-Moon universe and Western magic are completely different systems.

This is very evident in the recently released Adventure II.

Not only is it more sophisticated, but it also has a strong martial arts flavor.

Mi-chan strongly suspects that Jin Yong and Gu Long's martial arts novels are essential reading for Type-Moon's internal writings about China. →_→

Due to the significant modifications made to this book, the setting will not completely follow the original Type-Moon universe. (?*?ω?)?

By the way, I have to complain that the Type-Moon universe actually has a Harry Potter series, and I even read it.

I wonder if Webber will offer a course analyzing the feasibility of the magic in Harry Potter and then give it to his students as homework.

For example, having Rin use the Avada Kedavra curse on a Heroic Spirit. 23333

Chapter 26 Li Ang: It's Time to Show Our True Skills (Bonus Chapter)

Sensing danger, Li Ang immediately jumped back a few steps.

However, everything happened so suddenly that even though Li Ang reacted, he was still enveloped by several flashes of sword light.

In an instant, the blades converged at a single point, and the impact with the ground created a sound barrier-breaking roar, sending up debris and dust that enveloped the area where Li Ang was.

"That was close, I almost got hit. The dust it kicked up gave me a buff that allowed me to escape unscathed despite the smoke."

Complaints came from the dust, and Li Ang, unharmed, dusted himself off and walked out.

Tear~~

With a crisp sound of silk being torn, the right sleeve of Li Ang's robe was ripped in two.

"It doesn't look like everything's completely alright..."

Li Ang glanced at his cuffs with slight surprise, then turned his gaze to where he had been standing.

"As expected of the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qin Empire, he was able to dodge my attack even under these circumstances."

Accompanied by a sweet yet chilling voice, Li Ang saw a person holding a short sword and dressed in a black and white ninja outfit squatting on a broken boulder.

Li Ang noticed that the other person was emanating waves of black energy, and their eyes were an unnatural scarlet red. It seemed they were being affected by something.

"How come I didn't notice... Is it Assasn?"

A hint of seriousness flashed involuntarily in Red A's eyes.

The fact that the other party could sneak up to me silently shows that they are very good at stealth.

Fortunately, the opponent chose to target Li Ang instead of their own Mast, otherwise...

"Is she the only one, or..."

Red Archer gestured to Jing Ke and Mash to move closer to Ritsuka to prevent any more Servants from ambushing her.

Meanwhile, Assasn continued to praise Li Ang.

"I originally thought the Imperial Advisor was just a scholar who only knew how to talk big, but I never expected him to have such abilities."

"It was just a fluke."

Li Ang shrugged lightly and answered in a casual tone.

"Even I thought I was going to get slashed; several cuts just grazed my eyebrows."

"Hehe... This kind of luck is not something that ordinary people can obtain; it is a manifestation of strength."

The black-haired Assasn girl let out a soft laugh.

"That's too kind of you."

"Excuse me, I am Assasn, Mochizuki Chiyome."

With a light wave of her short sword, Mochizuki Chiyome introduced herself.

"The current Grand Preceptor of Qin - Li Ang."

Despite being enemies, there was not a trace of tension or hostility between Li Ang and Mochizuki Chiyome.

There was a strange atmosphere, like two martial arts masters exchanging pleasantries after their first meeting.

"..."

This was followed by an awkward silence.

The others present looked at the two parties involved, unsure of what to do next.

Chiyome Mochizuki simply examined her short sword with an air of nonchalance, leaving Li Ang somewhat confused about her intentions.

Should I leave, or find a Heroic Spirit to fight the opponent?

"If Miss Mochizuki is alright..."

Just as Li Ang took a step, a black senbon flew past his feet and embedded itself deeply in the ground.

"Honestly, I knew it wouldn't be that simple. Originally, out of respect for Sakura-sensei, I didn't want to make things difficult for you..."

Looking at Mochizuki Chiyome's enigmatic smile, Li Ang closed his eyes in frustration and helplessness.

After a long while, Li Ang opened his eyes again.

"Seriously, why is it only a second-tier spirit origin? Couldn't it be a first-tier black belt with a fishing net, or a third-tier red belt with a semi-transparent veil?"

"Uh..." *N

The others, who had expected Li Ang to make some harsh remarks, almost strained their backs after hearing his flippant and playful words.

"I'm sorry, those clothes are only for the lord to see."

"If I could become your Master, would I be able to make you wear those two outfits and pour me drinks?"

"dream!"

Chiyome Mochizuki gripped her weapon tightly and leaped down from the stone pillar.

"It's a real pity. I thought the Grand Preceptor would be some great figure, but it turns out he's such an indiscreet person."

Chiyo Mochizuki looked regretful.

"That's right, that's right."

Ritsuka and Mashu and the other girls kept nodding.

"Haha, it's probably because I've been abstaining for too long, or maybe your voice is just too beautiful."

With a smirk, Li Ang suddenly lowered his body, ripped off the sleeves of both arms, and flung them into the air.

As if signaling the start of a war, the moment her sleeve slipped from her hand, Mochizuki Chiyome suddenly raised her left arm and slashed at Li Ang.

As the rubble beneath his feet suddenly exploded, Li Ang, who had already lowered his body, was thrown in the opposite direction from his opponent.

"drink!"

The former woman of Mochizuki brandished her two short swords, the bright light of the blades attempting to envelop Li Ang like a net.

Facing the countless flashes of sword light before him, Li Ang narrowed his eyes and quickly wrote a "?" in the air with his finger.

“?（ehwaz）”.

As Li Ang chanted the incantation, his legs seemed to be wrapped in something.

The rune 【?】 means horse, and through this rune, Li Ang gained the speed of a steed.

He lightly touched the ground with his feet, as if taking small, quick steps, but his body leaped backward more than ten meters until he was out of the attack range.

"Leave this guy to me. Ritsuka, you guys hurry up and follow Zhang Liang to the interior of Baiyun Mountain."

"but……"

Ritsuka was a little worried about Li Ang.

Li Ang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's the weakest Assassin anyway, I can definitely beat it."

Ritsuka seemed to want to say something more, but Li Ang preemptively said, "Don't worry, watch me snatch this female ninja and pour her drinks."

"No need for that..."

DD sighed and complained, "I just hope you don't make a complete mess of things, Master."

Red A immediately chimed in: "I think we should respect what he said."

If anyone can hold this babbling idiot back, Red A will wholeheartedly agree.

Chiyome Mochizuki's goal was very clear: she ignored Ritsuka and the others who had left, and focused her eyes only on Li Ang.

Li Ang also discovered it.

So after everyone else had left, he asked directly, "This young widow, female ninja, and priestess from the Warring States period, why are you picking on me?"

"Because that guy made you his target," Mochizuki Chiyome replied with a sense of helplessness. "If I could, I would have preferred to choose His Majesty the Emperor."

"now what?"

"I want to tear your mouth apart!"

"That's such a pity. She's clearly a wonderful girl with tons of cuteness overload."

Li Ang smiled slightly and responded in a calm tone, as if he wasn't the one who had angered Mochizuki Chiyome.

"Well then, I hope you enjoy everything that's coming next."

Mochizuki Chiyome formed hand seals, preparing to use her Noble Phantasm.

"Feel the snake's curse! Spiritual communication—"

“?（laguz）”.

As Li Ang spoke, a huge "?" symbol flashed beneath Mochizuki Chiyome's feet.

In an instant, countless streams of water gushed out from beneath Chiyo's feet, enveloping her completely.

"Woooo..."

The immense water pressure and churning currents caused Chiyo, who was inside, to feel a sense of panic.

She discovered that even the spirits of heroes could not escape from this magical water.

"?" (laguz) refers to water and lakes in runes, and you are currently at the bottom of a conceptual lake.

Li Ang walked up to the water column with a smile on his face.

"Do you know what I like most about runes?"

"It has only 24 letters, yet it contains all the secrets of the universe."
