Chapter 62 The Shameless Fatty Wan
Kong Qing's eyes flashed even colder. After quickly casting a spell through the water mist in the air, he ignored it and instead spun his ten fingers like wheels, instantly unleashing three Water Shadow Swords. With a flick of his fingers, he met the weapons formed from the three talismans opposite him.
A moment later, a series of loud bangs suddenly rang out, bursting with dazzling light, and an invisible wave of energy swept outwards in all directions.
Wan Baoshan gave a strange smile, and with a wave of his hand, three more talismans flew out.
Upon seeing this scene, the more than 10,000 outer disciples on the square, including Du Fan, were all dumbfounded.
The Foundation Establishment elder who was presiding over the competition rolled his eyes, a look of "I knew it would turn out like this" appearing on his face.
The Foundation Establishment deacons and the three Golden Core elders on the stands couldn't help but show strange expressions.
"It seems that this Fatty Wan has been skimming off the top of his own pocket in the sect all these years!" Elder Jin Guang said thoughtfully, his eyes flashing.
"Hmph!" Cuiqi glanced at Wanbaoshan and Kong Qing, who were fighting each other, and her face showed displeasure.
"Wan Baoshan is quite talented. He could have broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining long ago and become an inner disciple."
But he deliberately suppressed his cultivation level just to use his power to seek benefits in the outer sect. He was even enjoying it, without any awareness of losing the big picture for the small gain. He wasted his talent for cultivation, which is a pity, but... even more hateful!" Xu Muchun also spoke up suddenly, expressing his disappointment in Wan Baoshan, but he was also quite helpless.
"Don't worry, his money-making scheme has come to an end. This time he can't hide even if he wants to!" Jin Guang's eyes flashed, and he had a half-smile on his face.
Clearly, these three Golden Core elders were no strangers to Wanbaoshan, but they did not have a good impression of it.
Even though Kong Qing was usually aloof and indifferent, he couldn't help but curse inwardly at such a shameless act. His anger towards Wan Baoshan was already very deep.
"Wanbaoshan, you!" After a long while, Kong Qing finally had enough and was about to unleash a torrent of curses...
However, given her temperament, even if she was extremely angry, she really couldn't bring herself to say it. At this moment, her face was flushed red with anger, and she had no choice but to frantically activate the magic seal in her hands.
"Senior Brother Wan isn't fighting magic, he's fighting over spirit stones!"
"Brother Wan, what skillful methods!"
"I never imagined that Senior Brother Wan's wealth was so terrifying. Look at him, he didn't even blink."
"This is too much of a cheat! If this continues, Senior Sister Kong might not be able to defeat her..."
"I can't bear to look anymore..."
At this moment, the outer disciples' expressions were quite interesting, and they all spoke up to express their thoughts. They had seen people use talismans in battle before, but that was only a matter of offense and defense at crucial moments. They had never heard of such a seemingly free fighting style.
At the same time, they were also greatly shocked by Wanbaoshan's wealth. Many disciples even felt a little sad and bitter when they thought about their few spirit stones. They secretly vowed to earn a lot of spirit stones in the future.
As a fellow man, Du Fan felt embarrassed for Wan Baoshan. However, he was also shocked by the scene on stage, and some thoughts began to sprout in his heart. Unconsciously, he fell into deep thought.
"The rules for the competition need to be changed!" Cuiqi's eyes blazed with anger. Kong Qing was an outer disciple she had long admired, and she would take him as her disciple once he was promoted to inner disciple.
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but Wan Baoshan bullied the disciple she had chosen. Cuiqi was already planning to settle scores later and was going to privately discuss with her senior brother, the sect leader, about revising the competition rules.
Wan Baoshan was incredibly thick-skinned and didn't care what others thought. He was just a little heartbroken about the talismans he had thrown out, but when he thought about the first-place prize, he was overjoyed.
He paid a heavy price this time, spending a lot of spirit stones and even giving away the Starry Flower that Du Fan had given him, in exchange for two bye opportunities. Thinking of this, Wan Baoshan threw out the talismans in his hand even more vigorously.
"I'm not throwing away spirit stones, I'm making spirit stones! How could other ordinary people understand this!" Wan Baoshan muttered, his eyes unusually bright, his face showing madness.
"Oh no, I threw it away..." Wan Baoshan was too excited and momentarily lost his composure, accidentally throwing away a special talisman worth nearly a hundred spirit stones.
Wan Baoshan's face turned deathly pale instantly, becoming extremely ugly. His body trembled, and even his eyes turned red.
This talisman is the most valuable among his many talismans, and it is also one of his means of survival...
He could have won by throwing out two more attack talismans worth ten spirit stones each, but he made such a mistake at the last moment. For him, it was like lifting a boulder to smash an ant; his heart was bleeding. Those were spirit stones…
"Haha...this kid is interesting." Upon seeing this, Elder Jin Guang clapped his hands and laughed, while the other two Golden Core elders looked on with strange expressions.
However, Wan Baoshan had been in power for many years and was naturally no ordinary person. He suppressed the grief and indignation in his eyes, let out a low roar, and began to release a large amount of divine thought to control the talisman.
A streak of bronze light flashed through the air, and after a swirling motion, a small bell about a foot in size appeared.
This bell is bronze in color and covered with dense runes. Its spiritual light surges and shifts, giving it an ancient and weathered feel. At first glance, it evokes a sense of the passage of time.
"This high-level talisman is modeled after the Buddhist treasure, the Brahma Bell. Judging from its appearance, it possesses one percent of that treasure's power. The person who made this talisman is highly accomplished in the art of talismans."
"That kid Wan Baoshan had quite a stroke of luck to obtain this talisman. Now that he's accidentally used it, it can be considered a punishment from heaven." Cui Qi's beautiful eyes flashed, and after suddenly speaking, her expression softened a bit, showing a hint of schadenfreude towards Wan Baoshan.
"This talisman is not for attack, but for trapping the enemy. We don't need to worry about Kong Qing's safety. However, the outcome of this battle is already decided!" Xu Muchun said slowly, looking at Wan Baoshan with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Jin Guang remained silent with a smile, thinking that Fatty Wan was truly a remarkable person.
The bronze bell trembled slightly and then slowly floated towards the woman's face. It grew larger as it was carried by the wind, and when it hovered above the woman's head, it was already two zhang in size. The runes on it wriggled, the bronze light shone brightly, and Sanskrit characters could be faintly heard.
At this moment, Kong Qing's magical power had been almost completely depleted, and upon seeing this scene, she turned pale.
The woman forcefully suppressed her anger, made a hand seal, and two sword shadows appeared. With another wave of her hands, two water-shadow swords swept towards the large bell above.
The Water Shadow Swords, which were originally exceptionally sharp, collapsed and dissipated after emitting a mournful cry when they approached the Great Bell at a distance of about a foot. However, the spiritual light they transformed into did not disappear immediately. Instead, it was instantly absorbed by the Great Bell, making the bell's aura even stronger.
A look of horror, and even more so, a sense of powerlessness, appeared on Kong Qing's cold and beautiful face. Just as she gritted her teeth and was about to continue changing her incantation, the large bell suddenly slammed down on her amidst a sudden surge of Sanskrit sounds.
Even though the woman was extremely shocked and furious, and used all her magic, she was helpless and was immediately enveloped by the bell.
With a loud "boom," the ancient bronze bell crashed to the ground, shaking the earth and kicking up clouds of dust, trapping Kong Qing inside.
This scene immediately drew gasps of surprise from the outer disciples.
At first, the bell rang out intermittently, but after a short while, the sound stopped.
"I surrender, now let me out!" After a long while, a cold voice finally came from inside the bell, trembling and filled with overwhelming rage.
"Cough..." Wan Baoshan was naturally overjoyed upon seeing this. He coughed lightly, glanced at the bronze bell with a pained expression, and with a thought, the bell that had been tightly enveloping Kong Qing turned into specks of spiritual light and dissipated.
A moment later, a tattered talisman appeared out of thin air. After a gust of wind blew by, the talisman turned into a small cloud of powder and disappeared.
Kong Qing's aloof figure reappeared, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wan Baoshan, a cold glint in them.
Seeing this, Wan Baoshan didn't care at all, his face still wearing a harmless and kind smile, which made the woman opposite him grit her teeth in hatred. If looks could kill, Wan Baoshan would be dead by now.
"Wanbaoshan wins. The two are leaving the stage. The rankings for this competition and the distribution of prizes will be announced later." The Foundation Establishment deacon ignored the scene on the stage. After the two left, he flipped his hand and took out a restriction token, quickly casting a spell into it.
The token flashed with light, and he waved it at the arena. The protective light barrier surrounding the arena transformed into a large ball of light, which disappeared into the token in his hand in a flash.
The Foundation Establishment deacon then put away the token and quickly walked towards the stands.
"Junior Nephew Jiang, this is the list of rewards. You will announce the rankings and prizes for this competition. We have other matters to attend to and will be leaving now!" Seeing the Foundation Establishment deacon walk onto the stage, Xu Muchun expressionlessly tossed a list to him.
"Yes, Uncle Xu!" The steward surnamed Jiang bowed.
"Let's go, we've already wasted too much time." Cuiqi glanced at the Foundation Establishment deacon in front of her with dissatisfaction, flicked her sleeves, and transformed into a long rainbow, soaring into the sky.
Xu Muchun and Jin Guang followed Elder Cuiqi without saying a word, cutting through the sky.
Watching the three Golden Core elders leave, the steward surnamed Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. He had received many benefits from Wanbaoshan before the competition, so he naturally felt guilty in front of the three elders.
"Brother Jiang, you must have gained a lot from this outer sect competition." Several Foundation Establishment deacons who were originally standing behind the three elders walked over with smiles. One of them took the lead in making a teasing remark, clearly quite familiar with the deacon surnamed Jiang.
"Hmph! I have important business to attend to and don't have time to listen to your nonsense!" The steward surnamed Jiang was surprisingly impolite. After saying that, he turned around and walked to the edge of the stands.
The man who had spoken earlier didn't seem to care. He just laughed and walked to the edge of the stands with the other Foundation Establishment deacons.
"The outer sect competition has ended. Now we announce the results and the sect rewards!" The steward surnamed Jiang coughed lightly and then spoke loudly.
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy square fell silent. In fact, they already knew their rankings, and what they were looking forward to most at this moment was the sect's reward.
Those outer disciples who ranked after a thousand in this competition naturally looked somewhat dejected, but they did not leave. Instead, they stayed, equally curious about the sect's rewards.
