Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 286: Chapter 233: Let’s See How Long She Can Keep Being Stubborn
Frankly speaking, Li Qing’s request wasn’t excessive.

After all, it was they, Capital University, who had previously taken the initiative to invite Li Qing to spar with Liang Qing.

Based on the basic principle of reciprocity, Li Qing inviting Liang Qing to duel was not only logical and well-founded but also occupied the moral high ground.

Gan Zhong had no reason to refuse.

His only concern was that Li Qing might take advantage of the duel to take revenge on Liang Qing.

However, under the watchful eyes of the public, she shouldn’t have the nerve to strike too harshly.

After all, it was Liang Qing who had tricked others; letting him take a few hits to learn his lesson wasn’t entirely unjust.

Consequently, Gan Zhong agreed to the duel.

Then he realized he had guessed wrong.

He should not have used the mentality of male cultivators caring about their face to gauge female cultivators; this Li Qing completely disregarded Martial Virtue. She seized the opportunity to really go for the throat!

Liang Qing was beaten until he howled in pain, rolling on the ground, admitting defeat.

But Li Qing showed no intention of stopping.

It wasn’t until Liang Qing stopped thrashing and lost the ability to fight that the match was voluntarily ended by Li Qing.

Gan Zhong hurried to pick up Liang Qing, only to find that his injuries were serious; he probably needed ten to fifteen days to recover.

The good news was that the trouble Liang Qing caused with the Talismans seemed to have blown over.

He should be able to avoid stepping on landmines in the future.

Next, as long as Liang Qing developed steadily, waiting to inherit the great rule of Liang Kingdom, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

…

Ever since Liang Lu defeated Lin Yao using the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman, their grudge was officially settled.

Previously, it was Liang Lu who had a one-sided fixation on Lin Yao, as she was never able to win until she used the despicable and shameless Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman, a move Lin Yao would remember.

Lin Yao’s goal was to become the Sect Leader of Taixu Sect, with a focus on a strong late-game performance, so her attitude towards failure was entirely different from Liang Lu’s.

Where others might doubt themselves more with each loss, Lin Yao only grew stronger.

Lin Yao wasn’t afraid of losing. With Talismans, Liang Lu had confidence, and under these circumstances, the previous rhythm of once-a-month bouts between the two completely changed.

Now, they were almost sparring daily.

The benefit of this was that their frequent exchanges led to rapid progress. The downside was that Liang Lu’s stock of Talismans was running low.

Lin Yao was no fool. She had Yan Yue, a Core Formation Cultivator, as her teacher, with the resources of Taixu Sect to back her up.

Once Lin Yao had prepared for and targeted a Talisman that Liang Lu had used once, it became difficult for that Talisman to be effective again.

Take, for instance, the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman with a hundred percent win rate. Lin Yao’s strategy against it was simple. She would fast for a day in advance and repeatedly use detoxifying liquids to purify her body, ensuring that there were no wastes and impurities inside that could be affected by the Talisman.

For the incredibly effective Spiritual Energy Blockage Talisman, Lin Yao chose simply not to cast any spells and instead relied solely on her movement and swordsmanship to fight Liang Lu.

After several rounds of sparring, Liang Lu’s Talismans purchased from Jiang Cheng were almost fully sussed out by Lin Yao!

In learning, summarizing, and combat talent, the always proud Liang Lu had to admit that Lin Yao was very strong! Even stronger than herself!

The only shortcoming Lin Yao had now was the speed of cultivation!

Lin Yao’s cultivation speed wasn’t slow, but that was only compared to ordinary people. Next to her, it wasn’t enough; it was considered slow compared to those true cultivation geniuses.

Once Lin Yao fully compensated for this single shortcoming…

With her exceptional learning ability, coupled with her almost perverse willpower, and added to an unbeatable cultivation speed…

Not to mention her high-scoring appearance.

Wouldn’t she be the perfect candidate for the prodigy of Taixu Sect?

Liang Lu, looking at Lin Yao on the other side of the sparring platform, further solidified in her mind the thought that “only a prodigy can defeat a prodigy.”

You, Lin Yao, are the prodigy of Taixu Sect, are you?

Good, Jiang Cheng is also the prodigy of Tongtian Sect.

I will use Jiang Cheng’s ability to deal with Lin Yao, and let’s see who is stronger among the prodigies.

“The duel begins!”

With Mo Ningdan’s words, another bout between Liang Lu and Lin Yao officially started.

Facing Liang Lu enhanced by Talismans, Lin Yao was getting more and more adept.

The moment Mo Ningdan spoke, Lin Yao was already preparing to charge up. As soon as Mo Ningdan finished speaking, she completed all her initial preparations, and her first move was several sword energies slashing toward Liang Lu.

Lin Yao had figured it out now; as long as she didn’t let Liang Lu release a Talisman, Liang Lu was no match for her. But once she let Liang Lu use one of those strange, disgusting, abnormal, annoying Talismans! No matter how hard she fought, she was more likely doomed.

As soon as the sword energies were launched, Lin Yao immediately used her movement techniques, following the sword energies toward Liang Lu.

She knew Liang Lu had the Spiritual Energy Blockage Talisman. With this Talisman, casting a spell would not be an attack but rather a way to give Liang Lu time to deal with her!

So she had to be fast!

Fast enough that Liang Lu couldn’t react!

Lin Yao was quick, but the sword energies flew even faster. The first sword energy she slashed was already nearing Liang Lu!

Lin Yao narrowed her beautiful eyes, firmly keeping watch over the first sword energy.

As long as the first sword energy could hit Liang Lu or forced her to defend, preventing her from having time to deploy a Talisman, then she would have secured the victory!

The first sword energy arrived smoothly in front of Liang Lu.

At such a close distance, whether to defend or flee, it was too late for Liang Lu!

Lin Yao’s heart leapt with joy, she would finally be able to win against Liang Lu after several days of consecutive defeats!

It was a hard-earned victory.

So what if there were those disgusting Talismans? In the end, isn’t it…

Lin Yao hadn’t had time to be happy for even a moment when she suddenly saw that between Liang Lu’s fingers was a brand-new Talisman that she had never seen before.

Liang Lu actually had a new one?
