The vampire duke, lacking the keen perception of an Upper Ninja, stepped into Luo Chao's attack range first. Hearing the Upper Ninja's low warning, he immediately tried to retreat.

Luo Chao knew that if he didn't act now, he would lose the chance. He jumped in front of a rock, forcefully threw the spirit talisman he held, and controlled it with his spiritual sense, silently chanting the spell, sending it straight towards the vampire duke.

The vampire duke intended to flee after the Upper Ninja's warning, but Luo Chao, having been ready for a long time, was still a step too late. The spirit talisman hit his left shoulder directly, and the surging flames engulfed him.

Luo Chao sighed. He had intended to hit the vampire's head with this strike, but at the moment of impact, the vampire slightly tilted his head, and Luo Chao, using the spirit talisman for the first time, couldn't control it well enough, allowing the vampire to avoid the fatal blow.

Still, he wasn't too disappointed. The vampire duke was undoubtedly severely injured from this strike. Whether he could even unleash a tenth of his power was unknown. With only the East Japan Upper Ninja left, it would be easier to deal with.

With a wave of his hand, he recalled the spirit talisman, one of its originally colorful patterns now dimmed, indicating that the fire talisman from the Five Elements Divine Talisman could no longer be used. He carefully stored it away, having fully realized the power of the spirit talisman through this incident, and knowing it couldn't be used recklessly.

At the same time, he was filled with confidence for the future. If a basic Qi Condensation Stage spirit talisman could already severely injure an A-level powerhouse, then in the future, when he could manifest talismans at will, he would surely be invincible.

The Upper Ninja had already seen the spirit talisman and couldn't give Luo Chao another chance for a sneak attack. In a direct confrontation, Luo Chao wasn't confident he could hit him.

In the pitch-black night, the vampire Count Dracula howled in agony. His wings were charred black by fire, flapping wildly and stirring up gales. His hair and eyebrows were entirely burned off, filling the air with a scorched stench as he flapped his wings and fled.

The Upper Ninja saw his companion flee and, with a swift movement, appeared not to want to linger here any longer. He was alone and isolated, unable to deal with both Long Dian and the mysterious expertise of Luo Chao. His only thought was to escape.

After all, Luo Chao's appearance was truly shocking. With one move, he left the vampire duke, whose power was comparable to his own, with barely half a life remaining. The small piece of paper in his hand exerted immense power, seemingly capable of multiple uses. Inoue Matsushita certainly didn't want to end up like his companion.

His body, like sand in the wind, gradually faded away, disappearing into the dark night.

"You think you can just leave? Not so easy!" Long Dian snorted coldly, suddenly flicking both hands to release a wide electric net from his fingers, quickly spreading out to cover a hundred-meter radius. Although the electric net wasn't very powerful, its vast range made it perfect for dealing with Inoue Matsushita's invisibility escape.

Sure enough, there was something unusual in a spot covered by the electric net. The electrical threads twisted slightly and crackled, faintly outlining a person—Inoue Matsushita.

"There it is, Tian Xuan, let's go!" Long Dian shouted, charging forward. Just moments ago, being outmatched two to one had left him without any means to retaliate, bottling up a lot of frustration. Now that Luo Chao had arrived to assist, he relished the chance to reciprocate the experience of getting ganged up on.

Seeing Long Dian call out, Luo Chao hurried to catch up. He harbored no goodwill towards the East Japan individuals, even to the point of extreme aversion since he was still a nationalist at heart. He didn't want to miss this opportunity at the Royal Language Academy.

Inoue Matsushita, realizing they were coming to attack, understood he had been exposed. He formed a series of seals with his hands and shouted, "Ninjutsu, Earth Escape Technique." With a swoosh, he dove into the ground. This form of ninjutsu heavily consumed chakra, something he didn't want to use but had no other choice now.

The next moment, Long Dian leaped over, shooting two thick electric arcs from his hands, striking the spot where Inoue Matsushita had disappeared, creating a deep pit, but there was no trace of Matsushita below.

"Damn it, he escaped." Long Dian angrily punched the deep pit, his face filled with rage: "These East Japan bastards, they have no other skills, but their escape techniques are first-rate."

At this, Luo Chao smiled lightly, not at all anxious, and said, "Captain, let me handle this."

"You have a way?" Long Dian, hearing Luo Chao's confident tone, was pleasantly surprised and asked.

Luo Chao didn't answer, simply took out the spirit talisman he used earlier with a smug expression. He silently chanted the spell again, the spirit talisman emitting a dim earthy yellow light, and it disappeared into the ground.

Long Dian, having witnessed the talisman's power earlier, now saw it being brought out again, and felt hopeful.

"Creak, creak." Strange sounds arose from the ground, as if something was being compressed. A minute later, Long Dian and Li Er witnessed a magical scene.

A small mound of earth slowly rose from the ground, as if it were growing. Inside, someone struggled vigorously, appearing to be Inoue Matsushita.

Inoue Matsushita was startled. While using the earth escape technique to sneak away, he hadn't traveled far when he sensed the surrounding soil had become different from before, as hard as stone, continually pressing in on him.

He didn't know what caused this change, but he couldn't just wait to die. Using ninjutsu secret techniques to augment his earth escape ability proved futile against this tension. Whoever used such means to trap him seemed more familiar with the profound technique of earth, ultimately enveloping him in soil and ejecting him to the surface.

"Whoa, Luo Chao, what exactly is this treasure of yours? It can spew fire and control earth, a piece of paper can rival two superpower users." Long Dian's mouth gaped in shock.

Luo Chao chuckled proudly, "This thing is called a spirit talisman, or a talisman."

"Spirit talisman? Are you talking about the ghost-catching kind you see on TV? It doesn't look like that to me!"

Luo Chao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Captain, TV stuff is nonsense. Real spirit talismans have broad applications, and it's not just about catching ghosts."

Li Er said, "We truly owe this successful capture to Tian Xuan's spirit talisman, or else our fate would have been uncertain."

"No need for thanks."

The three of them approached the mound where Inoue Matsushita was trapped. Luo Chao stroked his chin and inquired, "Captain, what should we do? Should we just finish him off? I don't see much worth in keeping him."

Long Dian disagreed, "The superpower organizations of various countries are their own most secret and powerful forces. Usually, they don't deploy them easily. Yet, these two forces teamed up to send two A-rank powerhouses against us, implying some hidden conspiracy."

Pausing briefly, "We should take him back to the Dragon Team and interrogate him properly."

Luo Chao nodded indifferently, "Alright, as you say." Now that he had avenged his great grievance, he was indifferent to these matters.

"Damn you, are you celebrating too soon?" the furious voice of Inoue Matsushita came from the mound. Did they think he was now just fish on the chopping block for them to handle at will? They underestimated the Upper Ninja with the 'National Soul'."
