Chapter 291: Sea of Talismans
Although Miao Yushuo felt frustrated at the loss, he had no choice but to walk off the stage unwillingly.
The heavy footsteps were certainly due to the regret of losing 20 spirit stones, but also because of how despicable and shameless that short-haired guy was.
"How can such a sneaky and cunning person be considered a member of our Lingxi Valley!" Miao Yushuo cursed.
Suddenly he paused, and his eyes lit up. "If I bought 100 attack talismans and showed them off like that despicable short-haired guy, would I be able to scare people away and become invincible?"
"The Sea of Talismans? Hehehehe——" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. He no longer hesitated, made a decision, and quickly walked towards the Yunzhou Ferry.
After Miao Yushuo left, the ring square, which was originally empty in the morning, was suddenly empty of new challengers. Wang Qiye was so relaxed that he sat on the ground. He couldn't fall asleep. His soul was severely depleted, so he looked exhausted and listless.
He supported his head with one hand, squinted his eyes, and looked towards the arena where Zhu Ran was.
"Zhu Ran, it's only been three months, and you dare to challenge me again?" A graceful young man, holding a white paper fan in his hand, gently waving it, looking very cool.
Zhu Ran was full of pride and looked at him indignantly. "Taishi Xiang, stop talking nonsense. Do you still want to fight?"
Taishi Xiangzhen shook his head. "Hey, your temper is still so hot. You need to change your temper, otherwise no one will dare to want you."
"It's not your turn to intervene in my affairs. Watch me." Zhu Ran was fed up with this pretty boy, who spoke in a sissy way and liked to point fingers. As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Yu came out of its sheath and pointed at him with a startling look.
The arena for the second-level cultivators is, of course, separated from the arena for the third-level cultivators and is arranged at the outermost edge. Despite this, Wang Qiye can still see it clearly.
Different from fighting against himself, Zhu Ran, who showed the strength of the third realm at this time, stabbed with a knife, as fast as a rabbit.
Taishi Xiangzhen showed an expression that said "as expected". He still had a smile on his face, but the paper fan in his hand was spinning in circles. Before Zhu Ran could get close, he pointed his finger and the paper fan quickly flew out of his hand, turning into a turbulent stream of wind blades, rushing towards Zhu Ran.
"It's the same trick again. Don't you have any new ideas?"
"Although this move is old, it is enough to deal with you."
As soon as Taishi Xiangzhen finished speaking, he looked surprised and shocked as Zhu Ran rushed towards the wind blade turbulence without dodging. "She doesn't want to die?"
In the past, when faced with this move, Zhu Ran did not dare to confront it head-on. He fought and retreated, hiding here and there on the ring.
If she used up all the wind blade turbulence during the pursuit, she would lose. But if Zhu Ran was accidentally caught in the wind blade turbulence while dodging, she would have no choice but to surrender.
So the two were equally strong, but Taishi Xiangzhen was obviously more skilled, winning more than ten games, seven of them.
That's why he was surprised when he saw Zhu Ran's current behavior, but it is impossible for him to take back his magical powers now.
Taishi Xiangzhen looked panicked. "I can't afford to cause this young lady to get into trouble!"
Zhu Ran's father was a powerful Yuanying cultivator, not just a useless person. It was difficult for cultivators to have children, and her father only had her as his precious daughter. Taishi Xiangzhen naturally knew this, and if her father got angry, few people would dare to stop him.
A broken jade, miraculously, cut a path through the turbulent wind blades. Zhu Ran moved neither too fast nor too slow, following the movement of the knife, splitting the turbulent wind blades in half and sliding away from both sides of her.
Until a broken jade was pressed on Taishi Xiangzhen's slender white neck, he did not close his wide mouth, looking at this heroic androgynous beauty in shock, feeling so strange.
Zhu Ran slowly took back the broken jade. Her proud face showed the character of a young lady to the fullest. She was shining like a proud peacock.
"Zhu Ran wins, scores 10 points, and gets 8 spirit stones."
Until the referee announced that Zhu Ran was the winner, Taishi Xiangzhen still couldn't believe that the person standing in front of him and defeating him easily with one move was Zhu Ran.
She is only three months old. Even if she eats ginseng as carrot, she can’t be so fat!!!
In fact, this is the result of Zhu Ran's accumulation of knowledge. Zhu Ran became famous at a young age. Her talent and qualifications are outstanding. She is not a monster, but she is not bad either. It is precisely because of this that she has developed her current personality.
Like father, like daughter, Zhu Ran is even better than her father. Having learned everything from her family, she has all the usual faults of geniuses. After becoming famous at a young age, she began to be arrogant because of her talent.
Ever since she started to work for two days and rest for three days, her life has become very comfortable as she gets whatever she wants.
Although the time spent sparring with Wang Qiye was brief, it punctuated Zhu Ran's unrestrained life. Her talent and skills, coupled with years of hard training, had finally been enlightened and borne fruit. Now, she had begun to truly show her brilliance.
"Zhu Ran, you wouldn't have entered the Transmission Building so early, would you?"
The disillusioned Taishi Xiangzhen finally came to his senses and chased after the heroic beauty, looking at her constantly.
Zhu Ran could no longer hide the smile on his face. "Tai Shi Xiang Zhen, can't you afford to lose?"
"If you enter the Kung Fu Teaching Building, I can certainly afford to lose, but, but..."
Taishi Xiangzhen thought for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.
Zhu Ran also looked at Duan Yu. When she saw the wind blade turbulence coming, she also planned to retreat and consume it. This time, she was 100% sure that she could consume the wind blade turbulence while retreating and dodging.
But at that time, it was just a flash of inspiration, and he felt that this wind blade turbulence was nothing, so he rushed in without hesitation. Perhaps it was because he had practiced with Wang Qiye for a long time, his endless and varied moves were much more complicated than this reckless wind blade turbulence.
Fortunately for him, he didn't expect that practicing with him every day would be like fighting with hundreds of people. After enduring the strong pressure, he easily resolved the wind blades that only had quantity but no quality.
Even she herself didn't expect it!
The third-level cultivator who saw this scene in the arena square was also surprised.
The life span of a cultivator in the third realm is 500 years. This competition is a rare pastime. They see each other all the time, so naturally they all remember each other. Naturally, everyone has a rough idea of who is strong.
Everyone expected Zhu Ran might win, but no one expected her to win so easily. Moreover, Zhu Ran did not use any martial arts or magical powers, but simply fought back with ordinary moves. Compared with her three months ago, the difference was too big.
For a moment, everyone found it hard to accept it, and they looked at her with fear in their eyes.
Wang Qiye smiled knowingly. Zhu Ran seemed to have grown up again. When she fought with him, she was like being shackled and restrained. Now that she has recovered her original strength of the third realm, she is free and can spread her wings and fly thousands of miles.
How dazzling that edge is!
"Clap clap clap!"
The applause of the pig intestines only sounded at this time. "Senior Sister Zhu Ran is invincible, Senior Sister Zhu Ran is the best in the world!"
Zhu Ran rarely smiled at him and nodded at him in appreciation.
"Zhu Ran, you are really different now."
Taishi Xiangzhen spoke in a lonely voice, and he no longer dared to look at Zhu Ran with contempt.
Within a few days, the news of this battle will spread throughout the entire circle of the Three Realms cultivators and become a topic of discussion. Whether he admits it or not, Zhu Ran has already entered the ranks of first-class masters from today.
There must be someone who can stop her, but I don’t know where Zhu Ran’s name will eventually rank on the Heavenly Ran Ran list before she is willing to stop.
Zhu Ran put his hands behind his back and walked with his head held high. "Of course, I spent 70 spirit stones for this step."
Taishi Xiangzhen showed envy and wanted to ask if he could make further progress by spending 100 million spirit stones, but he held back in the end. The difference between the weapons was a success that could not be replicated, so he could only smile bitterly and shook his head.
The competition among the monks of the three realms was not actually very intense, with a match taking a long time. This was mainly because the lowest-level third-grade magic weapons were worth 3 spirit stones each, so they were naturally extremely cautious.
The competition among the second-level cultivators is still interesting. There is one from time to time. After all, a second-level magic weapon is only 3000 to 5000 yuan each.
Wang Qiye, who had been waiting for a long time, finally met his next opponent.
"Please give me some advice when I am in the lower level of the list, Zang Jinshi."
A burly man stood on the ring.
The sun rose into the sky, shining diagonally towards Wang Qiye, just shining into his slightly narrowed eyes. The eyes were blocked by his eyelids, so that people could not see the whole eyeball, leaving only two eye slits reflected by the sunlight.
Perhaps he had been sitting for too long, so he could only pick up the two long swords lying on the ground and use one sword to support himself before he could stand up.
After standing up straight, he nodded slightly as a response to the challenge.
In the empty field, Zang Jinshi was not angry, and sneered in his heart. "He is just an opportunist, taking advantage of the fact that the big shots are training in the morning and have no time to come here, and he is just hanging up here to steal points. Coincidentally, I am the same."
He looked at the jade pendant again and confirmed Wang Qiye's ranking on the Earth List. He was ranked first and had not counted wrong. He then revealed a grim smile and rushed towards him with his fist raised.
Ten steps, six steps, three steps!
Surprisingly, Wang Qiye remained indifferent in the face of Zang Jinshi’s charge.
Zang Jinshi would not show mercy. He bounced his legs slightly, took a step forward, and his right arm, which had been gathering strength, drew a straight line in the air and smashed directly towards Wang Qiye, who had not released any defensive magic weapon.
puff!
The sound of air breaking was heard, and Zang Jinshi's right fist, carrying the sound of wind, rushed towards Wang Qiye's body with great force.
"Oh!"
This fierce blow turned Wang Qiye into powder. However, Zang Jinshi's smug expression froze on his face, as if someone had pressed a pause button.
His heart skipped a beat and he sank to the bottom of the valley. "Oh no, it's the "Lingxi Remnant Shadow"!"
Before he could react, he felt a strong force on his back. His already swift forward momentum was pushed hard from behind by someone, and he could no longer control it. He rushed down the ring at a faster speed than before.
