Chapter 47: Win and Gain, Lose and Gain Even More!
Chapter 47: Win and Gain, Lose and Gain Even More!
In the courtyard, the figure enveloped in white Qi continuously attacked the target standing still, launching relentless assaults.
No matter how cunning the angle or how swift the speed of the attacks, the target remained unwavering, using only his clean and tidy hands to repeatedly knock the figure back.
After another collision, Luk glanced at his slightly scratched nails and spoke up.
"Old Man Luk, this endless fighting is getting a bit boring. How about we add a little wager?"
Luk Jin's forward momentum paused, and he cautiously asked, "What are you up to, you brat?"
"Just a little something extra," Luk smiled. "For example, if I win, you have to pass on the Tongtian Lu and the Inverted Birth Triple to me."
"The Tongtian Lu is one of the Eight Great Techniques, and the Inverted Birth Triple is a top-tier mystical arts," Luk Jin seemed to take some interest. "If you lose, what will you offer in return?"
"Me, myself, and I," Luk pointed at himself. "If I lose, I'll join the Luk family as a son-in-law."
Luk Jin was speechless.
He had never realized that becoming a son-in-law to one of the four major families, the Luk family, could be so challenging that the conditions are clear and the stakes are high. The stakes Luk proposed were both enticing and daunting.
"If Luk wins, the Tongtian Lu and Inverted Birth Triple will naturally be his. If he loses, once Luk marries and joins the Luk family, not only will the Tongtian Lu and Inverted Birth Triple be his, but he'll also get a beautiful and obedient great-granddaughters, as well as the Luk family's assets."
Either way, Luk would come out on top!
But considering Luk's extraordinary abilities, even if his descendants aren't as exceptional, his own worth is substantial. Even Luk Jin couldn't deny that if Luk joins the Luk family, it would certainly bring new glory to the family.
After a moment's thought, he grinned, "Fine! I'll take your bet, but don't expect me to go easy on you."
"Deal," Luk's eyes lit up, and he turned to the old Grandmasters. "Grandmaster, can you be a witness to this?"
The old Grandmasters looked at Luk, "Old Man Luk is a man of his word. If he says he'll do it, he will."
"Ha, you really understand me, Grandmaster!"
"What, not calling me 'Old Hairy' anymore?"
"Of course not. I'll take my frustrations out on your disciples and grand-disciples!"
In the night, a sudden, intense burst of light illuminated the area.
Luk Jin's fingers darted through the air, the traces not dissipating but forming talismans that split the air and struck toward Luk.
One of the Eight Great Techniques, the Tongtian Lu.
He could summon talismans effortlessly, without setting up an altar, without channeling Qi, or any preparation. Talismans that a high-ranking Qing experts would spend hours crafting, he could produce with ease.
Five Thunder Talismans!
Boom!
A series of explosions followed, and a violent surge of lightning covered the area where Luk stood, the massive shockwaves kicking up a cloud of dust.
But Luk Jin didn't relax; he continued to draw talismans with the Tongtian Lu, ready for any counterattacks.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, using the Tongtian Lu on a junior, Old Man Luk, you're really regressing."
The old Grandmasters shook his head at the scene, his face devoid of worry, and he teased Luk Jin.
Amid the dust, a calm voice emerged.
"Heavenly Dao, the root of all Qi.
Cultivate through countless ages, to prove my Dao.
In the three realms, only Dao reigns supreme.
My body clad in golden light, reflecting upon me."
Intense golden light burst through the swirling dust, enveloping Luk in a pristine glow. The young man with sword-like brows and star-like eyes emerged, his face still nonchalant but with a touch more seriousness.
"Using Five Thunder Talismans on the Grandmaster's disciples, Old Man Luk, you really have a twisted sense of humor."
Luk chuckled softly and extended his index finger, casually flicking the golden light.
As if in response to his gesture, the golden light separated from his body, forming globes of golden light.
Then these globes collapsed inward, condensing into golden points.
Lu Ke's index finger pointed at Lu Jin, and he murmured softly.
"Go."
Golden light points, under his command, transformed into streams of light and attacked Lu Jin. However, Lu Jin neither dodged nor defended, instead manipulating the talismans he had already drawn, making them fly through the air from all directions, surrounding Lu Ke.
Swish, swish, swish!
The golden light points effortlessly pierced through Lu Jin's shoulders, arms, and other less vital areas. But the wounds didn't bleed; instead, they dissipated like mist and quickly returned to normal.
At the second tier of the Reverse Life cultivation, which combined the transformation of bones and organs with the first tier's transformation of flesh and skin, one could achieve an indestructible body, immune to water and fire, invulnerable to blades and axes, resistant to all evils, and free from diseases. Even severed limbs could regenerate. Such attacks that didn't target vital points were mere raindrops to Lu Jin.
But his face was grim, and his heart sank.
The force of these golden light points was overwhelming, completely unresistable. If he were to release the second tier of Reverse Life, he would likely be defeated instantly.
Three overlapping thunder talismans struck Lu Ke. This was the divine power of the Heavenly Passage Talisman, where talismans of the same type could be stacked to enhance their power.
After the dust from the explosion settled, the golden light surrounding Lu Ke didn't even waver. He remained standing in place, his fingers moving back and forth, causing the golden light points to continuously pass through Lu Jin's body.
Seeing that the triple thunder talismans were ineffective, Lu Jin estimated that even the maximum five-layered thunder talisman wouldn't work. He decided to abandon brute force and quickly drew two talismans with his fingers.
This was the Book Joining Method from the Heavenly Passage Talisman, which could perfectly combine two different talismans to achieve incredible effects.
For example, now.
The talisman with an odd movement pattern rapidly moved on the ground, drawing closer to Lu Ke. At the same time, various thunder talismans appeared around Lu Ke, feinting attacks to cover the main talisman.
Relying on his powerful reaction speed and perception, Lu Ke, who had already understood the talisman's movement path, raised his hand to scatter the talisman.
"Cough, cough."
At that moment, the old grandmaster, who was watching from the side, gave a slight dry cough.
Lu Ke's eyes flickered, and he relaxed his golden light barrier, emitting the golden light to instantly disperse all the feinting talismans, allowing the main talisman to stick to his body.
In the next second, he felt the flow of his qi become sluggish, and the golden light dissipated.
"Grandmaster Lu, what an incredible technique. What talisman is this?" Lu Ke praised.
"Ghost Roaming Record's Sealing Meridian Talisman."
Seeing that Lu Ke's meridians were sealed, Lu Jin answered calmly, feeling that he had finally taken the upper hand.
The Ghost Roaming Record, combined with the Sealing Meridian Talisman, was a powerful technique in battle. After all, physical cultivators were few, and those who had mastered the art of physical cultivation were even fewer.
"Amazing, amazing."
Lu Ke clapped enthusiastically, his eyes filled with genuine admiration.
"Now that your qi is sealed, are you going to concede?"
Lu Jin's tone became much lighter.
Without the aid of qi, Lu Ke could only rely on his physical strength.
"…Well, I think I can still fight a bit more."
Lu Ke shyly scratched his cheek and rolled up his sleeves for the second time.
Lu Jin took a deep breath, feeling his eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
This action had already given him a psychological shadow!
