There are three reasons why Yu Qiu doesn't use talismans.
One is... save money.
He finally confiscated the high-grade spirit stone that Gao Conghan gave, but returned it, waiting for Gao Conghan's final reply. What's more, even if it is collected, it is not something that can be used during the Qi refining period. So even though Yu Qiu wasn't poor right now, he still had to save a little on talisman-eating spirit stones.
Right now, this opponent is really not worth wasting so much.
The second is that he wants to keep a low profile. Although he had made a high profile in Fang Shanji, Fang Shanji was just a casual cultivator after all. Even if he knew that Yu Qiu was a powerful talisman cultivator, he didn't know how terrifying a talisman cultivator who was so powerful in one Qi refining period was. Now that it's under Xuanyangzong's nose, it's not good to be so eye-catching.
Fortunately, so far, most of the casual cultivators that Fang Shanji knew had been eliminated in the first stage of the trial, and the rest were only a handful, which provided a suitable soil for his low-key camouflage.
The third thing is that he wants to test his new ideas by the way.
If you no longer rely on those powerful talismans, how far can you go? Thinking of this, Yu Qiu was still a little excited.
Therefore, Yu Qiu dodged for a long time, and finally was willing to take out a low-level fire talisman and harassed it a little. After all, it would be too fake to not use talismans all the time. Anyway, fire talismans are cheap. Although they can't reverse the situation, he doesn't feel bad.
The onlookers below were a little excited by the sudden counterattack, but Yu Qiu immediately started to scurry around, eliciting waves of boos.
The bearded burly man on the opposite side let out a roar, held up the machete, and slammed another floor tile away.
Yu Qiu bent down and picked up a floor tile in his hand, and used it as a shield to block it in front of him, and finally he was not scratched by the stone chips.
But when he moved the floor tile away, he suddenly found a riot of spiritual energy in the opponent in front of him. The muscles all over the body of the strong man were visibly bulged, and the veins protruded out one after another, and the whole person was instantly stronger than before. a lot.
The next slash came, but Yu Qiu couldn't dodge it in time. He was swept by the wind of the knife, and was immediately swept to a corner of the competition platform, and he rolled several times before he lost his strength.
Yu Qiu secretly cursed: The opponent actually used the explosive technique.
The so-called explosive technique is a kind of technique that allows monks to burst out with stronger power than before, but requires monks to pay a certain price.
The most widely spread and lowest-ranked explosive technique is called Explosive Technique, which can increase strength and speed by 20%. The price is that the body will be weak and the cultivation base will regress for the next five consecutive days, and it will not return to its original state until five days later. What this brawny man is using right now is exactly this explosive technique.
Yu Qiufen had already shown his weakness to this point. He just kept dodging and harassing him, but he was able to force his opponent to use explosive spells. It's really... Yu Qiu couldn't help cursing again: Has this guy lost his muscles
His own rhythm was disrupted in this way, and Yu Qiu was very sad and angry.
In the blink of an eye, the opponent had blocked him in that corner, and the machete was about to hit his head.
Yu Qiu quickly lifted up the floor tiles and firmly protected his head.
Even when he was looking for the floor tile that was rolling, Yu Qiu was still holding on to it.
The onlookers couldn't help laughing: Look at this idiot, he actually wanted to block the knife with floor tiles.
Under the shadow that no one could see, Yu Qiu moved his right fingertips and quickly drew a symbol on the back of the brick.
When the machete landed on the brick, it made a thud, like the sound of gold and jade hitting each other.
Yu Qiu's arms sank from the blow, and he grinned in pain. But the brick was hit by the machete suddenly, and it didn't move at all, and it really blocked the knife so steadily.
Time seemed to be frozen at this moment, and everyone in the audience was stunned by this funny scene.
The opponent holding the machete was even more shocked.
While the opponent was in a daze, Yu Qiu slid by the side, quickly escaped from that corner, and stood in the center of the competition ring again, adjusted his breathing, and fixed his eyes on his opponent.
The rhythm has been disrupted. Although Yu Qiu is sad and angry, he is not flustered. After all, those talismans were still in his storage bag, and he just didn't want to use them right now, not that he couldn't use them. Because it is not yet the time of necessity, he thinks he still has a chance to win without relying on talismans.
He was still holding the brick with his left hand, but his right hand was hidden from everyone's sight. He continued to draw the stroke with his fingertips on the back of the brick following the previous stroke.
At this moment, those people in the audience finally reacted, and immediately there were discussions everywhere.
"what's the situation?"
"As expected of the Xuanyang Sect, even the floor tiles are so hard!"
"Nonsense, you don't even look at this material, this is the best sapphire! Besides Xuanyang Sect who is so rich and powerful, who else would be willing to use it for floor tiles?"
Everyone nodded when they heard the words. They all attributed the credit for blocking the knife to the excellent material of the floor tiles themselves, as if only in this way could the facts of what happened just now be easier to accept.
As for the same top-quality sapphire floor tiles, at the beginning of this battle, several pieces were split by the machete. Not all are exactly the same.
Only Gu Ruxue, relying on her Golden Core stage cultivation base, felt something strange, and gave Yu Qiu a meaningful look.
Yu Qiu's sketch on the back of the brick is not a fake painting. While sketching, he let his soul power envelop his aura, following the trajectory of his fingertips, one symbol after another was condensed on the back of the brick.
It is not a complete talisman, but a stroke extracted from a complete talisman.
It's as if when he first met Xiao Chunmian, facing Xiao Chunmian's face scratched by his mother, he didn't use a complete rejuvenation talisman, but drew a single stroke on Xiao Chunmian's face with soul power, It will be able to make that scar not leave a scar.
What he is doing now is exactly the same as before.
On the back of the tiles, he kept sketching the most simplified symbols summarized and extracted from many talismans, one after another, repeating the most simplified function: reinforcement.
Reinforcement, reinforcement, reinforcement, has been superimposed to a dozen layers of reinforcement.
With the continuous strengthening, Yu Qiu's brain began to ache a little due to the continuous use of soul power.
Yu Qiu stopped sketching and told himself that this is the time.
It just so happened that his opponent had also reacted, dragging the machete, roaring and attacking again.
"Accept!"
Yu Qiu also yelled, and for the first time, he didn't choose to run away. Instead, he raised the floor tile high, and slapped it towards the opponent's machete.
With a rubbing sound, the machete and the brick met again.
Time seemed to freeze again.
Everyone held their breath.
But this scene was not frozen for too long. At the moment of meeting, the original crack on the machete suddenly swelled, and the entire blade unexpectedly broke in an instant!
Yes! That golden thread big ring knife that was very arrogant at the beginning of the game! By a floor tile! That's it! face to face! shoot! break! up!
Everyone in the audience couldn't believe what they saw!
Everyone is in an uproar!
The bricks in Yu Qiu's hands have not stopped yet. It was not even hindered by the broken machete at all, so it fell straight down and hit the forehead of the strong man opposite.
The strong man was slapped with blood on his forehead, and he passed out straight away. Xu Hong and Miss Shen quickly rushed to the stage and dragged the guy down to rescue him.
Everyone mourns in silence.
"This battle, Yu Qiu will win." Gu Ruxue stood up and gave Yu Qiu another meaningful look. Because she was not deeply involved in the way of talismans, although she saw that Yu Qiu was playing tricks, she couldn't see what kind of tricks Yu Qiu was playing.
After a while, Gu Ruxue finally hesitated and said, "Excellent performance, plus 500 points."
Although I couldn't tell what kind of trick it was, the result itself was enough to prove Yu Qiu's excellence, which was enough to deserve this bonus point.
The uproar that hadn't faded away suddenly sounded again.
What is the concept of five percent? Before Yu Qiu, Gao Conghan was the only one who got such a high score in the Challenger League.
Everyone was wondering: this guy who ran all the way, and finally won by relying on a brick for no reason, could his performance be as good as Gao Conghan's
Facing everyone's probing eyes, Yu Qiu smiled wryly.
He tried every means to keep a low profile, and tried so hard to conceal his specialness, but was he going to fail in the end
But to be honest, being low-key has its benefits, and being conspicuous isn't all that bad.
Yu Qiu adjusted his mentality in an instant, held his head high, and planned to welcome the cheers that belonged to him.
In the end, what he was greeted by... was still a burst of boos.
Everyone did not miss Gu Ruxue's tangled expression. They all wishfully believed that this tangled expression proved that this inexplicable victory must be full of tricks.
"I see, it must be that brazen man's magic weapon just happened to be out of use, so it broke with just one slap!"
"Yes, I can see clearly that there is a crack on the machete!"
"So, the magic weapon has reached the end of its durability, and it needs to be replaced. I can't be reluctant."
"It must be too bad luck. After all, this guy doesn't even have a magic weapon. Who would have thought that he would fall on a brick?"
"A victory for one brick!"
"A miracle brick!"
"A miraculous counterattack of floor tiles!"
After booing Yu Qiu, everyone finally cheered. Not cheering Yu Qiu, but cheering that floor tile.
Yu Qiu finally kept his low profile... But why does he feel so delicate.
He silently grasped the floor tile that has left a legend in the rivers and lakes since then, and walked towards the bottom of the competition stage with a delicate mood.
But just when he reached the edge of the competition stage, Yu Qiu staggered suddenly and almost fell down.
No way, he has a headache.
In this match, he didn't spend too many talismans, but he almost exhausted his soul power.
There is really no such thing as having the best of both worlds...
Yu Qiu was sighing, when suddenly he saw a figure flashing past, quickly and firmly holding him firmly in his arms, "Xiao Qiu, are you alright?"
Yu Qiu looked up and saw Xiao Chunmian's anxious face.
Although Yu Qiu was very moved, but with such a large audience...
The noisy boos and cheers among the crowd suddenly fell silent, and then suddenly exploded again: What's going on! Why is this guy who won with a floor tile in the arms of a great number one! Who the hell is this guy!
Yu Qiu's low-key plan... was ruined in the end.
