Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 268: Chapter 225: The Legendary Jiang Cheng
“`

Qingxuan University’s last contestant against Liang Qing was a young female cultivator.

Here, “not very old” is not a statement but an adjective.

Visibly “not very old.”

Calling her a middle school student wouldn’t be out of place.

Not only was this girl not old, but her cultivation level was also tottering at the early stages of Foundation Establishment. It seemed she had just entered Foundation Establishment not long ago.

Although Liang Qing loved to bully the weak, taking pleasure in overpowering a female cultivator as evidently weak as this one held no interest for him.

“Mr. Gan, do we really need to play out this round?” Liang Qing said to Gan Zhong.

Just now, Liang Qing had won two rounds in a row, leaving Qingxuan University without any face to save. Gan Zhong, seeking to maintain the friendship between the two schools and to facilitate future challenges, took the initiative to offer a truce: “We’re all tired, I think we really don’t need to play this round. How about we call it a draw, Li Daoist friend?”

Normally, if the stronger party expressed goodwill for a draw, the weaker party should take the chance to dismount gracefully and quickly end the contest.

But Zhong Yan, at this moment, acted out of character. Not only did she decline Gan Zhong’s invitation for a draw, but she also took a keen interest in introducing the student she brought.

“Gan Daoist friend, I don’t think a draw is necessary. Li Qing may seem young, but she’s actually a second-year student at our school, a proper 18-year-old adult. Her cultivation level recently broke through to the early stages of Foundation Establishment, and she’s particularly adept at using talismans. Prince Yue, you mustn’t underestimate her.”

Liang Qing was puzzled.

He had three third-tier magical treasures at his disposal and could even beat those at the later stages of Foundation Establishment. What difference did it make whether he underestimated an opponent like Li Qing who was just a lowly beginner at Foundation Establishment?

He, a third-year student, was facing off against a second-year. A 22-year-old was fighting an 18-year-old, a Foundation Establishment veteran was competing with a Foundation Establishment novice, three magical treasures against none.

He had the advantage across the board.

Frankly, Liang Qing didn’t know how he could lose.

“Liang Qing, don’t go too hard,” Gan Zhong warned.

He was afraid that if Liang Qing caused Qingxuan University to become too disheartened, it would be inconvenient to arrange practice matches in the future.

Liang Qing, having won several fights in a row, was brimming with confidence.

“Li Daoist friend, I’ll give you the benefit, you make the first move,” Liang Qing said confidently thanks to the third-tier defensive magical treasure he possessed.

Li Qing was not pretentious and saluted: “Please, Daoist friend, enlighten me.”

Liang Qing yawned, already thinking about what to have for dinner that evening.

“Let the contest begin.”

At Gan Zhong’s command, the last match of the friendship exchange between Liang Qing and Qingxuan University officially started.

Li Qing took out a talisman, while Liang Qing looked around bored.

Li Qing activated the talisman in her hand, tossed it to the ground, and it instantly exploded, creating a cloud of grey smoke.

“Mist Barrier Talisman?”

Gan Zhong couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing the talisman.

The smoke released by the Mist Barrier Talisman not only obscured vision but also blocked off the scanning of the Divine Sense, creating an area of information obscurity.

In the mist, if you shoot at me, I’ll shoot at you; the gap in cultivation levels could be leveled as much as possible.

Starting with a smoke screen, why was this Li Qing’s tactic so experienced?

Gan Zhong had reached Core Formation, so his Divine Sense could naturally penetrate the second-tier Mist Barrier Talisman’s interference and see the situation on the battlefield clearly.

Within the mist, Li Qing approached Liang Qing swiftly.

Liang Qing was clueless.

A spark flew by, signifying the activation of some talisman, and in an instant, Liang Qing was engulfed in a surge of flames.

For a moment, the flames died down, revealing the glow of the Golden Might Pearl and an unscathed Liang Qing.

“I thought it was some brilliant move, turns out it was just a burst of flame. Li Daoist friend, your second-tier fire can’t burn through my third-tier magical treasure! Ha-ha.”

Liang Qing couldn’t help but feel triumphant.

Sorry, being boosted by a higher-tier magical treasure indeed lets one do as they please.

Li Qing then threw out three more talismans.

One was a first-tier Ice Soul Talisman, another was a first-tier Earth Swamp Talisman, and there was also a second-tier Gravity Talisman.

The attack from the Ice Soul Talisman was, unsurprisingly, blocked by Liang Qing’s magical treasures, but at the same time, the Earth Swamp Talisman and the Gravity Talisman quickly took effect in tandem.

Before Liang Qing could react, his feet were trapped in the earth swamp, and under the pressure of the Gravity Talisman, he couldn’t free himself.

Meanwhile, his “Ice Light Mirror” and “Thousand Wooden Swords,” which required targeting for their attacks, were rendered useless by the Mist Barrier Talisman.

Under the influence of the Gravity Talisman, Liang Qing sank deeper and deeper.

Gan Zhong called a halt to the contest in time.

“Zhong Daoist friend, your student Li Qing is truly impressive. With just second-tier and first-tier talismans, she managed to defeat Liang Qing who had three third-tier magical treasures.”

Zhong Yan smiled; she was not surprised by Li Qing’s performance at all. Her expression remained calm, clearly full of confidence in Li Qing.

Although Gan Zhong was impressed, Liang Qing was not convinced.

So, at Zhong Yan’s suggestion, Liang Qing and Li Qing rested for a while and began to compete again.

This time, Li Qing switched tactics.

The Wooden Body Talisman neutralized Liang Qing’s control, then a series of first-tier talismans pressured him with their firepower.

Finally, she used the Cloud Explosion Talisman floating around Liang Qing, ready to explode the moment he let down his guard, effectively draining his spiritual power dry.

In the days that followed, they competed frequently.

Even if Liang Qing gave up his magical treasures and used the talismans provided by the Linlan Sect Talisman Master Association, he was still no match for Li Qing.

In the end, Li Qing achieved the feat of “Capturing Liang Qing Seven Times.”

After the seventh capture, Liang Qing’s mentality was on the verge of exploding.

He was superior in every aspect, yet no matter what, he just couldn’t beat Li Qing.

If it were someone else, Liang Qing might have found some excuses, but Li Qing was inferior to him in every way, and still, he lost, moreover in a streak of crushing defeats, which was almost making him question his life.

“You are indeed strong,” Liang Qing admitted.
