Chapter 15 Blacksheep of the Family (2/2)

Lyu Liang was not aware that this high platform had become the center of attention for all the spectators at this moment. He was just contemplating how many talismans he would need to defeat his opponent.

While he pondered, the burly man struck out. A long silver rod suddenly appeared in his hands and with a bellow, the rod came down on Lyu Liang.

Lyu Liang pretended to be taken by surprise and quickly rolled to the side to dodge the attack, reciting the Kun Peng Skill simultaneously. He put on a stunned look and said, ”Wait, brother, wait! I am not prepared. Please let me take out the talisman.”

The burly man thought this was going to be an easy fight, looking at Lyu Liang's embarrassing state, and he started letting down his guard.

Outside, the girl in red thought in surprise, ”So this is his capability? There must be a mistake! He can't be the one! Yes, it's alright if he's defeated. I will then be at ease. Unless he is able to win this dual.. but is that even possible?”

The disciples who were spectators were all shaking their heads, but they continued to watch the match since they saw that the girl in red was still watching attentively.

Only Xuan Nyu Fairy's eyes flashed with a spark at this juncture as she looked at Lyu Liang and pondered.

”Alright, do it! You may take out as many talismans as you wish! Just don't say that I haven't given a chance to do so!” the burly man said, sticking out his chin, looking confident.

”Thanks!” Lyu Liang laughed heartily as he drew out many talismans. Before the burly could react, Lyu Liang tossed all the talisman towards him.

”You...” was the last word the burly man could utter, and immediately he was swallowed up by a ball of fire. He lay motionless on the ground, his body badly burnt.

”Number 1346 had fainted, so he had lost. Number 666 proceeds to the next match!” The wooden puppet announced with an emotionless voice. Lyu Liang immediately vanished from where he was and appeared in another wide platform after a moment.

”Did you see those 200 over talismans? Where did this young man come from? Must be some rich man's kid to have wasted over a thousand lower grade Primordial Stones!” the disciples remarked as they despised Lyu Liang even more.

”This... what's this?” The girl in red was speechless as she thought, ”He did win, but should I continue giving my attention to him? Well, let me just see what other tricks he has up his sleeves!”

Just as the girl in red was wrestling with her thoughts, Lyu Liang's second opponent emerged. He was a well-dressed short and plump cultivator, who appeared to have come from a rich background. The first statement he made when he came to up sounded outrageous to Lyu Liang and all the spectators.

”Name your price. I used 500 mid grade Primordial Stones in my first match. How about I give you a thousand now if you admit defeat? No? Alright, at most 3,000!”

Everyone was rendered speechless!

”Items of ultimate grade!” was Lyu Liang's first reaction.

”What a pair of matching opponents!” The spectators reacted. Their first thought was that one rich spoilt young man had met with another richer, more spoilt young man!

Lyu Liang could not be bothered with his nonsense. Smiling, he took the remaining 300 over talismans he had and dropped them in front of his opponent, the plump young man.

”Forget it. What am I faced with such a stubborn opponent? Why don't I go join the third largest power, Blood Divine Sect instead? Wooden puppet, I shall admit...” Before he could say the word ”defeat”, Lyu Liang's eyes turned severe and the 300 talismans rushed towards the plump man.

Panicked, the plump man rolled into a ball as a devouring flame and smoke filled the ball of light. By the time the fire was quenched and the smoke dissipated, the plump man was lying motionless on the ground and Lyu Liang was covered with black soot.

”Number 762 had fainted. Number 666 wins and may proceed to the next test!” Emotionless voice of the wooden puppet sounded once again. Lyu Liang vanished and appeared on the open field on the right of the town square. The open field was currently crowded with the cultivators who had emerged victorious from the second test.

”You were too impulsive, Liang. You have to be more cautious. What you did was very dangerous! You could have completely blown him to pieces if he had not taken out a defensive magic treasure at the last minute!” Blackie's stern voice sounded in his sea of consciousness.

”Indeed I have been too reckless. Initially, I thought I was able to hold it down. However, I lost my cool when I heard the name 'Blood Divine Sect'. It was my fault. It was fortunate that I had maintained my Qi refining to the Peak stage. I will be more careful!” Lyu Liang regretted being so impulsive as he reflected upon what happened a moment ago. He had to be very vigilant from now on.

While he cautioned himself, he also thought in his heart, ”Little plump, don't you ever join Blood Divine Sect, otherwise the next time we meet, I am going to toss you more than 300 talismans...”
