A massive stone gate stood there, wisps of heaven and earth spiritual energy gushing out through an opening only a few dozen feet wide.
Suddenly!
Whoosh! A secret method spirit charged out. The instant it cleared the gap, a barrage of formidable arrows came pounding toward it like a storm of wind and rain.
The secret method spirit's single eye unleashed a ring of eerie gray-light starry sky vortices, and it opened its book.
The countless arrows hurtling toward it were all sucked into the gray-light vortex of runes.
But although the secret method spirit had drawn all those arrows inside...
One exceedingly tiny frost arrow still resisted the pull of the Secret Method Spirit's gray-light starry vortex and struck the edge of its body!
The secret method spirit shuddered violently. Its body kept trembling as it hammered at itself, growing increasingly unstable before bursting apart. It turned into a book page that fluttered down.

With another whoosh, a second secret method spirit charged through the gap in the gate.
Another barrage of arrows blotted out the sky as they shot toward the secret method spirit like lightning...
