The ninja's battle experience was extremely rich, consistently suppressing Guo Ren, Little Wolf, and Wu Zhongli. This was mainly because the consecutive battles had severely depleted the strength of Team Eight, forcing them to adopt a defensive counterattack strategy.

Especially since Guo Ren had to split his attention to protect the exhausted other two, which put them in a more passive state, frequently facing danger. Luo Chao saw this crisis situation and rushed in to strike with a Flying Sword.

On the other hand, there was no need to worry about the two women. They cooperated very tacitly, and they had various control methods, often binding their opponents immobile, who struggled with all their might to escape. Luo Chao judged that it was only a matter of time before they resolved their opponents.

Inoue Matsushita, of course, also saw Luo Chao's sneak attack with the sword and cursed angrily, "Despicable." He tried to intercept the opponent's Flying Sword.

However, the Flying Sword was controlled by Spiritual Sense, exceedingly agile, dodging his block in a few flashes and piercing the unsuspecting ninja through and through.

"Being despicable is my advantage!" Luo Chao said calmly.

With one person taken down, Inoue Matsushita became somewhat anxious, glanced back at the other person's situation, and found it not optimistic, with the ritual still needing some time to be truly completed.

He steeled his heart, slashing the sharp Samurai Sword across his palm, letting the blood flow and scatter into the air.

"Illusion Technique, Moon Reading Technique."

Understanding that this move might be ineffective against Luo Chao, his target was, instead, the other members of Team Eight. When they were ensnared in the Illusion Realm, he would slay them all one by one.

Luo Chao knew things were unfavorable the moment he saw this move, hastily warning, "Everyone hold firm to your spirit, do not be deceived!"

But it was too late; the Illusion Technique was truly too eerie. Last time, both he and Long Dian fell for it without the slightest awareness. Although he was somewhat prepared this time to ensure he wouldn't be confused, he couldn't aid his teammates.

Seeing the dazed expressions of everyone, he grew anxious in his heart.

Slowly, the world before Luo Chao's eyes turned entirely blood-red.

By holding firm to his spirit, the reddening slowly dissipated, ultimately not affecting Luo Chao.

Inoue Matsushita sighed, abandoning the plan to take advantage of the situation to sneak attack Luo Chao, proceeding with the original plan to take down the others. His first target was Little Wolf because Little Wolf was the weakest among everyone, to be dealt with first.

At this moment, Luo Chao was also trapped in the Illusion Realm, but unlike the others, he didn't waver in his resolve, knowing that everything before him was but an illusion, and what he needed to do was to shatter this mirror, disturb this water.

It sounded simple but was exceedingly difficult to execute because Luo Chao had to find the flaws in this Illusion Realm, while this time, Inoue Matsushita's strength had surged considerably. The Moon Reading Technique was executed perfectly, making everything seem so real.

Thus, Luo Chao couldn't passively search but had to actively create flaws, using these as pivotal points to break this technique. Hence, Luo Chao embarked on a long exploration.

Little Wolf, however, was unaware of his imminent peril, only perceiving the sudden change in scenery, as if he were seated in a time machine, transported back many years to his carefree childhood.

Scenes from memory flashed before his eyes until they paused at a certain point.

"That Little Wolf kid is really pitiful! Bai Yu, why was she so naive? Going for revenge alone, and the outcome was… sigh~~"

"Indeed! I saw the state she was in, tortured terribly. I pity Little Wolf, this kid, who lost his parents so early…"

Little Wolf saw another self hiding in a corner, eavesdropping on two adults' conversations, recalling how young he was back then. Then, he saw that other self crying out, asking those two people for the truth.

Gradually, tears began to fill Little Wolf's eyes. He knew what those two people were talking about. Such scenes appeared in his dreams almost every night. From then on, he began to madly torture himself, praying for powerful strength to avenge his humiliated and deceased mother.

"Why… why must I hear this matter so clearly again, why…" Little Wolf roared towards the sky, tears streaming down his face. This was the past he least wanted to recall in his heart.

Inoue Matsushita's Moon Reading Technique could excavate the deepest, most tragic memories in a person's heart, emotionally battering the opponent from a spiritual standpoint, then wielding a blade to physically kill them.

By now, he had already arrived behind Little Wolf, silently raising the long knife.

"You shouldn't do this!" In reality, the trance-like Little Wolf suddenly uttered these words.

Inoue Matsushita felt a chill run down his spine, startled. How was this possible? A useless kid without any superpower wasn't supposed to be hopelessly trapped in the Illusion Realm. How could he sense anything in reality?

"This is the most painful thing in my heart, thank you for reigniting my fury for revenge!" At that moment, Little Wolf's frail body began to slowly swell and grow taller.

Inoue Matsushita watched this scene with eyes wide open, not understanding why this kid could regain consciousness, but a waste was still a waste. The long knife came crashing down with force.

"Drip... drip..." Blood dripped onto the floor, "I will kill you, as payment for this."

Little Wolf seemed completely numb to the pain in his palm. A layer of thin fuzz covered his face, the eyes gleaming with a strange light staring straight at Inoue Matsushita, reminiscent of when Luo Chao first saw him, like a lone wolf.

Little Wolf now scarcely resembled a normal person, displaying some werewolf traits, though not as exaggerated as Charlemagne's.

His initially thin and small body suddenly bulked up with muscles, swelling his clothes, with two canine teeth protruding outside his lips, yet his face still retained a youthful, delicate look.

Little Wolf gripped the arm holding the long knife of Inoue Matsushita, exerting sudden force, toppling him to the ground, his sharp, hard five fingers directly aimed at the opponent's heart.

Inoue Matsushita, unprepared for Little Wolf's sudden surge of combat power, was caught off guard. Hastily, he rolled several times to dodge, forming hand seals to cast Ninjutsu.

Yet, Little Wolf seemed to teleport, appearing before him once more, unleashing a barrage of punches at light speed, leaving him hard-pressed to counter or retaliate effectively.

At this moment, Luo Chao suddenly felt the scene before him flickering, becoming somewhat blurry. Although he didn't know what was happening, he couldn't miss this opportunity. Exerting a vast amount of Spiritual Power, he shattered the Illusion Realm, restoring everything to the previous state.

The Moon Reading Technique was broken, and Inoue Matsushita suffered instant backlash. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted onto his mask. Little Wolf seized the opportunity, crossing his hands, cutting through the air to leave a claw mark on Inoue Matsushita's chest.
