Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 266: Chapter 224 Why is the pigeon so big_2
The brocaded-robed man was none other than the legendary Prince Liang Qing.

And the nonchalantly dressed man was a retained student from the Treasure and Talismans Academy at Capital University.

Standing ten meters away from the two men were two Core Formation cultivators.

One of them, a late-stage Core Formation named Gan Zhong, was under the employ of Gu Dongsheng, specifically responsible for training Prince Liang Qing from Capital University.

“The competition begins!”

As soon as Mr. Gan announced the start of the competition, Prince Liang Qing and the retained student immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

Both were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and their strengths were evenly matched; theoretically, they were well-matched opponents.

However, from their wary movements, it was clear that they were not old rivals like Lin Yao and Liang Lu. This was their first time crossing hands!

Prince Liang Qing’s demeanor was noticeably more restless.

Even Lin Yao, not to mention his sister Liang Lu, was far from his equal.

After a dozen seconds without any action from the retained student, Prince Liang Qing chose to abandon observation and took the initiative to attack!

“Earthfall Skill!”

Prince Liang Qing started with a control spell.

Generally speaking, in combat, it’s a no-brainer to first gain control and then attack. Rarely would anyone attack first; once an attack misses and spiritual power is depleted, it turns to control.

The retained student clearly anticipated that Prince Liang Qing would release a control spell.

He jumped up and flew into the air, avoiding Prince Liang Qing’s Earthfall Skill.

“Giant Spike Skill!”

Seeing his opponent in the air, Prince Liang Qing immediately welcomed him with a giant earth spike without a second word.

But this action caused Mr. Gan to shake his head repeatedly.

“Too impetuous,” he said.

Mr. Gan’s colleague also said, “In the absence of knowing the opponent’s cards, blindly releasing large spells that could block one’s own field of vision shows that Prince Liang Qing has too little combat experience.”

The comments from the two teachers seemed to foretell the future, as events unfolded exactly as they said.

As Prince Liang Qing released the Giant Spike Skill and the spikes flew towards the retained student, the student from the Treasure and Talismans Academy took out his magical treasure—the Light-Attracting Cloth.

This magical treasure had the effect of guiding light, allowing the user to become optically invisible.

Coupled with the Turtle Breathing Skill that conceals one’s presence, one could temporarily hide.

The giant spike relentlessly passed through the position where the retained student had been.

“Hit him!” Prince Liang Qing exclaimed with joy.

But he failed to notice the dust quietly rising from the ground not far from him.

“Prince Liang, you’ve lost,” came the voice.

In front of Prince Liang Qing, the retained student unfolded his Light-Attracting Cloth, revealing his true form.

Surprised, Prince Liang Qing was about to make another move when the retained student clapped his hands and instantly, a blade, like the fin of a shark, began to travel along the surface of the ground.

In a flash, the blade-fin submerged into the ground and then leapt out abruptly!

The jumping point was precisely beneath Prince Liang Qing’s feet!

It wasn’t a single blade but a shark’s bite—a “giant mouth” made up of dozens of blades, encircling Prince Liang Qing at the center.

Under the sun, each blade glistened with a dangerous chill.

However, luckily for him, these offensive iron weapons all stopped mid-air.

If not, Prince Liang Qing’s fate would have been death by a thousand cuts.

Mr. Gan walked over to Prince Liang Qing and gestured for the retained student to put away his magical treasure.

“He’s a student from the Treasure and Talismans Academy; what they are most proficient in is not talismans, then it’s magical treasures. The magical treasure he used just now is named ‘Sword Traveling Shark.’ It mimics the behavior of a shark. Made of several dozen blades, each inscribed with Earth Escape Inscriptions, allowing these metallic blades to travel underground.”

“The first mistake you made was allowing your opponent to disappear from your sight. The second mistake was not staying alert immediately after he vanished. The third mistake is your insufficient reserve of spells. If you were proficient in the Earth Escape Skill, you could have evaded as soon as the Sword Traveling Shark surfaced.

Mr. Gan critically pinpointed Prince Liang Qing’s shortcomings.

But Prince Liang Qing was not convinced.

“Mr. Gan, if he didn’t have his magical treasure, I would have defeated him already.”

“He’s specialized in magical treasures from the Treasure and Talismans Academy.”

“I know, but if he hadn’t used his magical treasure, I wouldn’t have lost.”

“He’s from the Treasure and Talismans Academy; they study magical treasures.”

“I understand what you’re saying, teacher, but without his magical treasure, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat me.”

No matter what Mr. Gan said, Prince Liang Qing stuck to his guns, refusing to be satisfied.

Although Mr. Gan’s reasoning was sound, Prince Liang Qing was stubborn to a fault.

No matter how the pigeon gets big, I, Prince Liang Qing, just want to know why the pigeon is so big.

In the end, Mr. Gan could only say, “Then I’ll find someone who doesn’t use a magical treasure.”

The next day.

Prince Liang Qing: “Fire Engulfs the Prairie!”

Opponent: “Wind Control Skill!”

Prince Liang Qing nearly self-immolated, and the match ended.

Mr. Gan: “Your problem xxx…”

Prince Liang Qing: “I understand all that, but his spell obviously counters mine. It’s not fair.”

Mr. Gan: “Okay, okay.”

The following day.

Prince Liang Qing: “Meteor Fall Skill!”

The opponent dodged again and again, avoiding Prince Liang Qing’s attacks, then closed the distance with footwork, ending the fight with a single sword strike.

Mr. Gan: “This time, he didn’t use a magical treasure, his spell didn’t counter you, and he’s even one grade below you. What else do you want to say?”

Prince Liang Qing: “This place is too small, and he naturally has the advantage in close combat. It’s not fair!”

Mr. Gan: “Then let’s go to the Capital University field and try again.”

At the Capital University field, Prince Liang Qing was defeated.

Mr. Gan: “Do you have any more complaints now?”

Prince Liang Qing: “I couldn’t hit him with my spells; he’s just too lucky. This match doesn’t count.”

Under pressure for many days, Mr. Gan finally couldn’t take it anymore: “Damn it, let whoever wants to teach him do it! I can’t teach him at all!”

“Mr. Gan, calm down, Mr. Gan, please calm down!”

The Sword Cultivator’s teacher quickly stopped Mr. Gan and tossed a communication talisman to the Sword Cultivator, urging him to contact Dean Gu Dongsheng immediately.

When Dean Gu arrived, he spouted the same refrain: “Mr. Gan, you must calm down! Prince Liang Qing is key to Linlan Sect’s great plans; we cannot hastily give up on him. Besides, this is also an opportunity! If you can successfully train Prince Liang Qing, Linlan Sect’s Liangguo Subrudder will surely remember your great service, Mr. Gan!”
