Chapter 283 - 232: Still Underestimating Jiang Cheng Too Much
Chapter 283: Chapter 232: Still Underestimating Jiang Cheng Too Much
After great joy and sorrow, Gan Zhong’s emotions had become quite stable.
He looked at Liang Qing in the distance, who was still “focusing on enlightenment,” and suddenly felt a sense of pity.
It must be known that although he experienced great joy and sorrow, he was always just an observer of this contest.
But Liang Qing, he was the party involved!
One moment, he was tasting the joy of enlightenment, and the next second he was told, “Actually, you are not from the Rich Second Generation, nor have you hit a small goal. Get up for morning self-study, you’re already late. Oh, you’re awake? That was quick? I forgot to say just now, it’s Saturday.”
Painful! Too painful!
This talisman from Jiang Cheng is too immoral!
Now Gan Zhong could understand Zeng Shi’an, President of the Talisman Master Association.
It wasn’t Linlan Sect’s Talisman Master Association’s fault they had to carry the blame. It was purely because Jiang Cheng was too defying!
Gan Zhong woke Liang Qing and said, “Liang Qing, stop seeking enlightenment. This is the effect of a talisman.”
At this time, Liang Qing had exhausted all the piety from the second half of his life; he had never cultivated so diligently in his life.
“No, Mr. Gan, I can feel it, I’m about to touch the great Dao! Do you hear it? The heavens and earth are cheering for my epiphany.”
The look of pity on Gan Zhong’s face deepened.
Other aspects aside, this talisman’s effect of deceiving people was truly unparalleled.
This feeling, these special effects, who wouldn’t be confused by them?
Gan Zhong felt that if Jiang Cheng used his talent to start a cult, he could probably make history and become the progenitor of a new faith.
However, Jiang Cheng was a student of the Tongtian Sect, and such vexing matters could be left to Tongtian Sect to worry about.
“Liang Qing, your enlightenment is fake. It’s simulated by Jiang Cheng’s talisman. Stop being entranced and get up.”
Liang Qing did not believe others over his own feelings. “Mr. Gan, I really am about to understand. My brain is incredibly clear, I can feel the trembling of space…”
Gan Zhong slapped him on the back of his head with a forceful duel.
Liang Qing stood up, his mind completely clear and devoid of any strange sensations.
“F*ck! So the enlightenment just now was fake?”
“It was fake,” Gan Zhong affirmed.
Jiang Cheng corrected, “It’s not entirely fake. The Enlightenment Experience Talisman is almost the same as the real thing in every aspect except for actually achieving enlightenment.”
Liang Qing, having just experienced the peak of his life, was understandably agitated. “Isn’t it still fake then!”
Jiang Cheng shrugged. “But it’s a second-order talisman, and it was never intended to make someone achieve enlightenment. Look at the special effects in the sky, what more do you need?”
“Agh!” Liang Qing held his head with both hands, unable to accept the cruel reality.
Jiang Cheng brought out a new Enlightenment Experience Talisman and said, “It has over a dozen random enlightenment modes. If you’re not satisfied with just now, I can give you another one to make up for it.”
“It’s fake, what’s the use!”
“Aren’t you saying you want to beat Li Qing? You use this talisman on Li Qing, and can’t win?”
Liang Qing paused, then realized, “I can win.”
“See, if you can win, isn’t that good enough? You win the competition with one talisman, there’s no injury, no risk, both parties can accept the result, and everyone’s happy. Your Highness, have I not perfectly resolved your request? Is there anything else you are dissatisfied with?”
Right now, Liang Qing was very dissatisfied, but when Jiang Cheng asked him to specify, he couldn’t pinpoint any issues.
He felt he was played by Jiang Cheng, yet Jiang Cheng’s talisman had perfectly met all his requests, leaving no flaws for him to pick.
Strange!
This was too strange!
Liang Qing now felt like someone who was promised a ten-fold refund for buying a fake magical treasure, only to receive twelve real magical treasures.
You’d say it’s flawed, and yet there are none.
You’d say it’s a loss, but it gave you an extra one; this wave wasn’t a loss but a small gain.
Eventually, under Gan Zhong’s witness, Jiang Cheng and Liang Qing completed their talisman trade.
Liang Qing gained the usage rights and the design blueprint of Jiang Cheng’s “Enlightenment Experience Talisman.” He could use this to get it certified by the Talisman Master Association, and thereafter develop it commercially.
However, compared to Jiang Cheng’s other talismans, the Enlightenment Experience Talisman didn’t hold much commercial value.
Even so, Liang Qing still planned to get the talisman certified for the novelty, as he had never done it before.
Later, when President Zeng learned of this idea, he vehemently opposed it, and Liang Qing had no choice but to abandon the plan under the entrenched fear of Zeng Shi’an that spanned a decade.
According to the agreement, Jiang Cheng then got the chance to make a rubbing of a Demonic Tao cultivation technique. As one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, Liangguo Subrudder’s collection of Demonic Tao techniques was definitely not ordinary street merchandise, and the value was incalculable for the Dayan Sect, which had been established for less than half a year.
However, if one had to pick the highlight of Liang Qing acquiring the Enlightenment Experience Talisman, it would be his competition against Li Qing, which would undoubtedly be top of the list.
Gan Zhong immediately went to set up the match for Liang Qing.
Zhong Yan on the other side agreed very decisively. Both sides hit it off, arranged the time, and were set for the match!
Liang Qing was now a swirling figure of controversy at Capital University.
First, he had offended many people, and then those he’d offended enjoyed watching him get thrashed by Li Qing.
For no other reason than it was satisfying.
No matter who competed against Liang Qing, the crowd unwaveringly supported the opponent!
Recently, Liang Qing had rallied his spirits and for the eighth time, he challenged Li Qing; he was becoming a classic example of becoming more resilient after each defeat.
Most Capital University students came to the competition venue early, looking forward to the entertainment.
Unexpectedly, before Liang Qing even started the fight, two groups of supporters were carried out for fighting and causing a brawl. One group supported Li Qing in brutally beating Liang Qing, hit him hard! The other group objected, saying if Li Qing beat him too quickly, where was the fun in that? They wanted a slow and steady run.
The two sides couldn’t resolve their conflict with words and started clashing, both ending up with a “probation on campus” as a souvenir.
