Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 276: Chapter 229: The Unbeatable Jiang Cheng
“`

“The Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman, its principle is to help the opponent quickly digest food, achieving victory in a friendly manner during a competition.”

Jiang Cheng simply introduced his proud talisman.

The Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman currently has a hundred percent win rate. It’s cheap to make, costs little energy, and since it’s for healing, it’s sure to hit the target every time. Moreover, it’s very humane towards the enemy, causing no permanent harm.

Except for mental health.

It is an exceptionally outstanding first-level talisman.

“Quick digestion of food… friendly victory… How is that friendly at all?” Liang Lu gritted her teeth.

Jiang Cheng said, “Isn’t it friendly enough to decide the winner without anyone getting hurt?”

“You think you’ve already won? I won’t give up so easily!”

Liang Lu, holding a wooden sword, was filled with an ardent fighting spirit.

Jiang Cheng stroked his chin, saying, “I don’t really care, but there’s something I should tell Your Highness in advance.”

Liang Lu stared at Jiang Cheng, as if searching for any weakness in him.

Jiang Cheng kindly said, “Your Highness, you need to reserve some energy for the restroom.”

Liang Lu’s eyes widened suddenly.

“Despicable! You’re threatening me!”

“Just a friendly reminder.”

Liang Lu’s delicate hand tightly gripped the hilt of her sword as if she were about to crush it.

Jiang Cheng was not wrong; she indeed still had energy to spare, but she couldn’t guarantee she would still have any left after another bout with Jiang Cheng.

And if she ran out of energy, the consequences…

“This duel doesn’t count!” Liang Lu blatantly reneged.

Now it was Jiang Cheng’s turn to be surprised, “Your Highness, you agreed not to go back on your word.”

Liang Lu was nearly driven mad with anger by Jiang Cheng.

He had started the duel with laxatives and still had the nerve to tell her “not to cheat”?

Where did he get the gall?

“Wait for me to come back and fight again! Don’t, don’t leave!”

By the end, Liang Lu’s tone had weakened, not because she was afraid of Jiang Cheng, but because the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman was still silently taking effect.

She secretly rejoiced that she hadn’t blindly engaged Jiang Cheng just then.

Otherwise, she would have been socially annihilated.

Liang Lu walked with small steps out of the duel area, then slowly made her way to the restroom of the sports hall, leaning on the wall.

Then something suddenly occurred to her, and she abruptly turned her head, only to see Jiang Cheng with his back turned to her, not witnessing her humiliating state, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Lu truly couldn’t understand.

Jiang Cheng seemed so polite, so why were the talismans he drew so unlike him, so utterly despicable and shameless!

Half an hour later, Liang Lu returned to Jiang Cheng unharmed.

“This time I won’t go easy on you. I’m going all out.”

Liang Lu slowly regained her ninth-level Qi cultivation strength. Aside from holding a wooden sword, still not using a real magical weapon, everything else was exactly like when she fought Lin Yao.

Anyone with a bit of insight would know she wasn’t joking around; she was getting serious.

Jiang Cheng still appeared nonchalant.

It seemed to him that it didn’t make a difference whether Liang Lu was serious or not.

“Hmm. I also don’t plan on using the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman.”

“You don’t need to let me win. I won’t fall for the same trick twice. Your Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman is indeed powerful, but it takes some time to take effect. If I defeat you within that time, I can secure the victory.”

“Um, I’m not using the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman because I only brought one in my storage bag, and I’ve already used it.”

Liang Lu:…

“So if you still have talismans, you don’t really plan to keep using them, do you?”

“I’m a pragmatist,” Jiang Cheng confessed.

“Alright, alright, I won’t argue with you. Actions will prove everything.”

“Good.”

The banter before the duel ended, and both Jiang Cheng and Liang Lu put away their playful hearts.

No matter what Jiang Cheng’s attitude was, at least Liang Lu was very serious.

This time, Liang Lu abandoned her previous close-combat style, intending to wear down Jiang Cheng with spells.

She was at the ninth Qi cultivation level, while Jiang Cheng was only at the seventh; her reserve of spiritual power was far greater than Jiang Cheng’s. With spell consumption, Jiang Cheng was bound to lose without a doubt.

“Earthen Prison Skill!”

With a crisp command, Liang Lu activated the spell control.

The ground near Jiang Cheng’s feet trembled, and stone shackles grew from beneath, half a circle on each side. They then closed around Jiang Cheng’s ankles perfectly.

Earthen Prison Skill was a spell with strong control capabilities.

Usually, it was difficult to hit and control the opponent.

Liang Lu had used it with a try-it-and-see attitude, not expecting to control Jiang Cheng so easily.

“Why didn’t you dodge?”

Jiang Cheng replied, “If I dodged, you would cast other spells.”

In that moment, Liang Lu actually felt Jiang Cheng’s reasoning made a lot of sense.

Indeed, if Jiang Cheng avoided the Earthen Prison Skill, she had other spells prepared for him, but if Jiang Cheng didn’t dodge, there was no need for the rest.

“You’re caught by the Earthen Prison Skill now, with nowhere to hide.”

Jiang Cheng spoke indifferently, “Even if I weren’t caught by the Earthen Prison Skill, I still wouldn’t plan on hiding.”

“Why not?”

“Because I’m not skilled in evasion techniques, and whether running or dodging, I can’t outpace you. It’s better to stay where I am and save some energy,” Jiang Cheng analyzed logically.

Strange.

Very strange.

Liang Lu had never encountered an opponent like Jiang Cheng.

But the problem wasn’t big; she didn’t believe Jiang Cheng could remain so calm when attacked.

“Six Harmonies Sword Meteor!”

Liang Lu called out again.

This spell was extremely powerful in terms of attack.

Using spiritual power to form phantom blades, it attacked the target from six directions all at once.

Based on Jiang Cheng’s cultivation level, if he took the full brunt of Six Harmonies Sword Meteor, he would undoubtedly lose the duel.

Phantom blades began to condense in the air, dense sword points all aiming directly at Jiang Cheng in the center.

Yet, there was not the slightest bit of panic on Jiang Cheng’s face.

Conversely, it was Liang Lu, the attacker, who showed signs of nervousness.
