Chapter 279: Chapter 230 Victory is Surprisingly Simple_2

“Is there something special about this position?”

“It feels like the student has a greater chance of winning with the teacher standing there.”

Mo Ningdan didn’t notice anything peculiar about the position, but to satisfy Liang Lu’s small request and put her heart at ease, she decided to comply.

“Are you ready? Shall we start now?”

“I’m ready!”

“Mm, take this!”

Although they were in the same position, Mo Ningdan’s spell proficiency was higher than Liang Lu’s.

“Root Binding Spell!”

Liang Lu saw Mo Ningdan’s lips move slightly, and then green plants rapidly grew at her feet, their stems wrapping around her feet and thighs, nearly immobilizing her lower half.

Mo Ningdan had confidence that she was stronger than Liang Lu, but still, gaining control over Liang Lu with one move was beyond her expectations.

Based on her understanding of Liang Lu, a new standout student, it shouldn’t have been possible for her to fail to dodge the Root Binding Spell.

“Why didn’t you dodge?”

Clearing her throat, Liang Lu said, “Because I don’t know any movement techniques, and I can’t outrun or dodge you. I might as well stay put and conserve some energy.”

Mo Ningdan: ???

Confounded, she asked, “You don’t know any movement techniques?”

Liang Lu hesitated, thinking she had made a mistake.

Too busy copying Jiang Cheng’s homework, she had forgotten to change the name!

“Teacher, I was just saying anything, don’t ask anymore, hurry up and use your spell.”

Mo Ningdan thought to herself that Liang Lu, indeed her own student, had a mastery of spells.

To control and then follow up with a powerful attack was a combination that didn’t require a second thought.

“Six Harmonies Sword Meteor!”

Countless blades formed from spiritual energy were rapidly gathering around Liang Lu.

Seeing the Six Harmonies Sword Meteor, Liang Lu suppressed her excitement, took a deep breath, and then threw out a reusable type talisman.

It was the Spiritual Energy Blockage Talisman!

“What! How did you do that!”

The mighty Six Harmonies Sword Meteor began dissipating uncontrollably, and Mo Ningdan, despite being a Core Formation cultivator, had no idea how Liang Lu had managed it.

Liang Lu felt a secret thrill, but outwardly, she displayed a composed smile, much like someone familiar: “Teacher, I told you I could beat Lin Yao.”

Mo Ningdan’s brow furrowed as she said, “It’s still too early to draw conclusions!”

Mo Ningdan used movement techniques, attacking in a curved arc.

Liang Lu didn’t waste words and simply copied Jiang Cheng’s tactic, throwing a Perception Transmission Talisman.

However, unlike Jiang Cheng, she didn’t hold back and directly enhanced her hearing twentyfold!

Mo Ningdan was a Core Formation cultivator, not easy to exhaust.

At that moment, without any additional noise from Liang Lu, the mere sound of Mo Ningdan moving was like a deafening roar, similar to a mighty tsunami or avalanche.

“Ah!”

Mo Ningdan was shaken to her core, losing her balance and falling to the ground.

“Mrs. Mo!”

Liang Lu quickly went to check on Mo Ningdan’s condition.

Once Mo Ningdan removed the suppression on her cultivation level, restoring it to Core Formation strength, her discomfort gradually abated.

“Liang Lu, what exactly were those things you just used?”

Liang Lu briefly introduced the two talismans from Jiang Cheng.

After hearing the explanation, Mo Ningdan was dumbfounded.

Her nearly two-hundred years of experience in the Cultivation World were like a blank slate before Liang Lu’s talismans.

Unheard of, unseen!

“Where did you get these talismans?”

“I got them from, well, a friend.”

Liang Lu could only be vague about it.

Mo Ningdan, holding her forehead, said, “The talismans are indeed formidable, but that friend of yours isn’t very respectable. You better not associate with him too much in the future.”

Liang Lu stuck out her tongue slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with her teacher’s advice.

She found Jiang Cheng quite nice.

Not at all like the shady character her teacher had described.

Although there was something off about the talismans he drew, the effects of the talismans had nothing to do with the level of a Talisman Master.

“Teacher, can I challenge Lin Yao now?”

Mo Ningdan sighed, “I’ll get in touch with Yan. Since you’re confident, you’d better beat Lin Yao this time.”

“Great!”

At the Qingxuan University Trial Pavilion, Liang Lu once again faced off against Lin Yao.

Although it was winter break, the grudge match between the two popular female cultivators still attracted many students who stayed on campus to stop and watch.

Mo Ningdan and Yan Yue, the two teachers, were still watching from below, ready to intervene if anything unforeseen happened.

Liang Lu and Lin Yao, as the twin stars among the new students of Qingxuan University, were far stronger than ordinary ninth-level Qi cultivators, making it all too normal for them to go too far in a fight.

Yan Yue looked at the two on the stage and commented, “I originally thought Liang Lu would be down for quite some time, yet she recovered so quickly.”

“She hasn’t recovered, has she? But it’s possible she’s recovered from a strange angle, I don’t know how to describe it.” Mo Ningdan had a hard time articulating Liang Lu’s current state.

Do you think she’s improved?

No, she has even regressed.

But, do you think she can beat Lin Yao?

She can win, and even has a good chance at it.

Both weak and strong!

Utterly absurd!

“Yan, you keep an eye on them this time.”

“Alright. Let the competition begin!”

With Yan Yue’s command, the atmosphere on the stage became extremely tense.

Lin Yao was as composed as ever, while Liang Lu could not hide the panic in her heart.

Mo Ningdan’s judgment wasn’t wrong; Lin Yao indeed was a thorn in Liang Lu’s side.

“Lin, I won’t show you any mercy. Watch the talisman!”

Liang Lu’s first move was a killing stroke, Jiang Cheng’s Hundred Percent Victory Talisman—the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman!

Without any surprise, Lin Yao was hit by the talisman, and a healing effect briefly emerged on her.

The onlookers below the stage were all astonished.

Even the two well-informed teachers were shocked.

Yan Yue: “Mo, did you teach Liang Lu to throw healing spells at her opponent?”

“It wasn’t me; I didn’t do it, don’t talk nonsense.”

Mo Ningdan quickly dissociated herself from it.

However, before the people below the stage could analyze further, the two on the stage suddenly began to chase each other.

The strengths of Liang Lu and Lin Yao were evenly matched; if Liang Lu didn’t want to be caught by Lin Yao, then Lin Yao couldn’t really do much about it.

Although they were in a cat-and-mouse chase, Liang Lu’s expression was calm, while Lin Yao’s brow was deeply furrowed.

“Lin Yao, just give up. Stop making futile efforts.”

Lin Yao clenched her delicate hand and spoke harshly, “Liang Lu, where did you get those despicable talismans!”

“Hmph, what about the talismans? They are also a part of my strength. Are you dissatisfied?”

Lin Yao fumed, “You are contemptible and shameless!”

Liang Lu thought to herself that she had also cursed Jiang Cheng with those words, but what use was it? In the end, wasn’t she still defeated and left to prop against the wall?

However, seeing Lin Yao in distress,

cleared the gloom in Liang Lu’s heart.

She kindly reminded, “Lin Yao, you’d better save some energy for yourself, since the restroom here is not exactly nearby.”

Lin Yao frowned and felt the condition of her body.

Between victory and face, she decisively chose her dignity.

On one hand, she could afford to lose, but more importantly, she intended to be Jiang Cheng’s Dao partner, and she wouldn’t allow a speck of impurity on herself, both physically and reputation-wise.

Lin Yao halted her pursuit and said resentfully, “You win this time, I hope you still have such despicable talismans in your next competition.”

Liang Lu laughed, “Then you’d better be psychologically prepared, it might exceed your imagination.”

“Liang, you weren’t like this before. Could someone have led you astray?”

“Thank you for the reminder; I fancy myself as someone who can distinguish right from wrong.”

“Then I wish you good luck.”

Lin Yao walked down from the competition stage and silently headed for the restroom.

Liang Lu breathed a sigh of relief; although she had relied on Jiang Cheng’s talismans, she had finally overcome Lin Yao!

As for the future…

She’ll just have to keep working hard.

If all else fails, she could also ask Jiang Cheng to draw new talismans.

…

Jade Lake Ming’an.

Jiang Cheng carelessly massaged his hand.

Lately, it was both organizing cultivation techniques and dealing with the princess that greatly delayed his time for conceiving new talismans.

With the submission deadline for the project only a few days away, he had to quickly come up with ideas for talismans that could wreak havoc during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage differed greatly from those in the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Take, for example, talismans that control muscles; it is almost impossible for them to have much effect anymore.

Offensive talismans find difficulty in balancing speed, accuracy, and damage, always having a fatal weakness that can’t deliver a one-hit kill.

The difficulty of devising new talismans was immense, causing Jiang Cheng to fall into the hardship of contemplation.

Hence, intertwining his fingers to accelerate inspiration was inevitable.

This certainly wasn’t him trying to take advantage of Liu Qing.

It was all in the name of work, after all.
