Inoue and Hijikata were forced to retreat one after another... Facing the repeatedly reversed competition situation, the spectators in the "audience seats" who sided with Shiwei Hall all showed expressions of shock, bewilderment, and solemnity.
In contrast, the spectators who sided with Xuanwu Hall had their morale and fighting spirit significantly boosted.
No matter what the atmosphere in the "audience seats" became, it made no difference to Aoto and others on the battlefield—for they were highly focused, with all their attention devoted to "how to defeat the opponent in front of them," leaving no extra energy or interest to pay attention to anything other than the battle.
Rumble—a large clump of dirt from the ground was launched into the air again.
Chiba Daisaburo dodged amidst the "torrent" jointly unleashed by Aoto, Toshisuke, and Kondo, stepping on the ground and leaping high, using gravity to bring the tachi raised above his head crashing down! Towards Kondo!
