Chapter 131: "Fair Fight" (1/2)

Perhaps because the corpse manipulation lineage used to be a ”service industry”, Elder Lin did not put on airs.

When Jiang Li chatted with him, they actually got along quite well.

They had all played with zombies and ghosts before, and what they practiced were all Yin attribute cultivation methods. Although there was a huge difference in age, they also felt like they regretted not meeting sooner.

As he spoke, Jiang Li followed Elder Lin back to his residence. There were more than a hundred coffins filled with talismans and more than a thousand soul altars that were lit with joss sticks.

This was the daily routine of the corpse manipulators. They were always accompanied by evil spirits and ghosts. Although Jiang Li did not dislike it, he did not like the atmosphere here either. Now, he was a little glad that he had chosen to become Elder He's disciple.

After learning from each other for a long time, Jiang Li finally returned to the Demon Vanquishing Hall with the few items that the other party had given him.

The Ghost Wood Art was a tree demon's cultivation method. It was not like the cultivation methods passed down by human cultivators over generations. Some people continuously developed and studied cultivation methods.

The Ghost Wood Art did not have a set of spell techniques, so Jiang Li's wood-attribute spell techniques were all from the corpse manipulation lineage.

Apart from studying array formations, he received quite a bit of help in terms of spell techniques during his meeting with Elder Lin.

After reading the ancient books given to him by Elder Lin overnight, Jiang Li threw the heavy task to the parallel mind of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak that was far away. His main body stepped on the time and walked up to the Battle Arena A.

The other party was already waiting for Jiang Li in the arena this time.

Jiang Li went forward and was speechless to discover that it was actually a disciple of the Demon Vanquishing Hall.

That senior brother had clearly long known that his opponent today would be Jiang Li, and his face was showing a helpless and bitter smile.

Jiang Li also felt a little awkward and greeted the other party.

”Junior Brother Jiang Li, you have to be gentler this time.” That disciple bitterly said so, causing the audience to sigh again.

The gong sounded. The senior sister from the Rejuvenation Hall was already preparing for the next battle. In her experience, this was another battle that would be ended in seconds.

The senior brother opposite him immediately assumed a defensive posture and erected a shield artifact in front of him. He closed his eyes and waited for the terrifying impact to arrive.

However, Jiang Li did not attack as he usually did.

”Senior Brother, we're all fellow disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall. It wouldn't be good if we got injured in an intense battle. Why don't we change our method of fighting?”

When the disciple saw that Jiang Li's attack had yet to arrive, he removed his shield and looked at Jiang Li.

”Change the method… how?”

Jiang Li thought for a moment before suggesting a suggestion that was rather disadvantageous to him.

”I'll defend, and Senior Brother will attack. If Senior Brother can beat me out of the ring within a hundred moves, it'll be my loss.”

”If Senior Brother is unable to make me fall out of the arena within a hundred moves, then you will admit defeat. How about it?”

When the disciple from the Demon Vanquishing Hall heard that there was such a good deal, he immediately wanted to agree.

He did not have any strange thoughts like being humiliated by his junior brother. What he felt was that even if he lost in the end, at least he would not be beaten up, right?

”Junior Brother Jiang Li, doing this is against the rules, right?”

The disciple of the Rejuvenation Hall, who was the referee, felt a little hesitant. This was because the essence of the arena battle was to choose the best disciples to participate in the Great Mountain Cultivator Tournament and compete for more distributional rights in the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm.

At this time, if the outstanding disciples took the initiative to restrict their strength in order to form a 'fair competition' with the weak disciples, it was undoubtedly stupid. If the outstanding disciples lost, it might affect the sect's interests.
