Chapter 2118: Chapter 701: What Is the Lu Family’s Purpose on This Trip? (2) "What is going on? Is Shangguan Poyun about to spar with someone again?" "Even the Violet Thunder True Man has shown up. Who are these people?" "This seems to be the Lady from the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, Miao Ge True Man, Lu Miaoge!" "Gasp, she hails from the renowned Heavenly Talisman Lu Family!" "Why is the Shangguan family clashing with the Lu family?" Amidst countless cultivators’ respectful, awe-inspired, and fascinated expressions, Violet Thunder True Man exchanged a few words with the person in charge of the arena, and then the formation of the first arena was activated. Lu Wangshu and Shangguan Poyun ascended the stage. "Lu Wangshu from the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, so it is she who is sparring with Shangguan Poyun." "Is she the Talisman Fairy, Lu Wangshu, who perfectly inherited the Talisman Path legacy from Changsheng True Master? Her looks and talent... if one could marry her, it would save a lifetime of struggle." "It’s rumored she just recently reached Foundation Establishment but managed to blast several Foundation Establishment cultivators through Talisman Formation. Her combat prowess is astonishing." "She’s a Talisman Cultivator, after all. At that time, she relied on talismans given by Changsheng True Master, which is why her combat performance was remarkable. But for a sparring match like this, she can’t rely on that." "That’s not necessarily true. The Talisman Path also depends on the person. Some Talisman Cultivators can form formations with a wave of their hand, while others, like casting a spell, require much time and effort..." "Shangguan Poyun’s Divine Thunder Saber Art has achieved Small Achievement. If he gains the upper hand, this Lu family fairy might not stand a chance." In Jiuxiao Immortal City, seasoned Foundation Establishment cultivators, experienced and knowledgeable, watched the two on the arena and commented. "Aunt, can Sister Wangshu win?" Originally, Lu Qingqi had much confidence in her sister. But seeing Violet Thunder True Man’s indifferent expression and many surrounding cultivators favoring Shangguan Zhanyun, she couldn’t help but ask worryingly. "Rest assured." Lu Miaoge, graceful like water, spoke softly. While others were unclear, she had some insight into Lu Wangshu’s situation. Although her cultivation level was only at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Building, not as advanced as Shangguan Zhanyun’s, with the [Profound Origin Bead], her mana was no weaker than any Foundation Establishment cultivator. In addition to talismans, she also had talismanic weapons, puppets, exotic treasures, Second Rank Body Refining, and many other means. If she really exerted herself, few at the same level could match her. "Go sister!" Lu Linghe was the first to cheer for her sister with a raised fist. Seeing this, Lu Qingqi and several others nearby also joined in as cheerleaders. In the process, many cultivators looked over, and their gaze drifted back to Lu Wangshu on stage, eyes filled with amazement, admiration, and enthusiasm. However, seeing Lu Miaoge and Lu Ping’an, they dared not stare for long, fearing to incur displeasure. Before long, the two on stage began their sparring match. Lu Wangshu’s bright and lovely face bore a serious expression as she summoned the Talismanic Weapon Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy, transforming it into a parasol shape that spun above her head. Shangguan Poyun gave a slight bow with clasped hands before charging in with a stern expression, wielding his Lifebound Thunder Blade. Arcs of lightning surged along the blade, expanding to several meters in length, incredibly intimidating. Through past sparring matches and his understanding over the years, he knew that when facing a Talisman Cultivator like Lu Wangshu, he must not give her any breathing room. "Shangguan Poyun’s Divine Thunder Saber Art has improved again!" "After all, he is the Nascent Soul Seed of this generation in the Shangguan family. Once he breaks through to the Core Formation, the Divine Blade Shangguan family will witness a spectacular event with three members reaching Core Formation!" Some seasoned Foundation Establishment cultivators exclaimed in amazement. Seeing this, Lu Wangshu instantly cast out the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Stick and began the Void Drawing of Talismans. As the saber qi approached, a bright white jade bowl with a crystal-clear and six-gem-encrusted bracelet inlaid on it glowed brightly where she drew the talismans. Lightning, mist, and a ripple like a watery sheen formed a barrier, isolating her front. "Gasp, she’s crafting talismans while manipulating two spiritual artifacts at the same time." "Is this the legendary Void Drawing of Talismans?" "It’s truly breathtaking, these Talisman Cultivator methods are astonishing!" Seeing Lu Wangshu’s methods, many exclaimed in awe, faces filled with surprise. Besides the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, there are no famous Talisman Cultivation traditions in Jiang Country. Many people’s knowledge of Talisman Cultivators was limited to recorded books and rumors. Therefore, Lu Wangshu’s methods opened their eyes wide. On the arena, Shangguan Poyun’s aura was fierce. The Lifebound Thunder Blade in his hand trembled continuously, like a thunderbolt, resounding and majestic, illuminating the world. Facing such an onslaught, Lu Wangshu had to use pre-drawn talismans and puppets to passively defend. However, as the first talisman of the Void Drawing of Talismans was completed, Lu Wangshu made a gesture incantation with her hands, and the talismans immediately multiplied, from one to two, two to four, beginning to assault Shangguan Poyun. Over the years, Shangguan Poyun not only sought out sparring matches and set up arenas but also honed his blade intent through frontier wars, becoming battle-hardened. Facing Lu Changsheng’s methods, relying on his intuition, he broke through Lu Wangshu’s talismans one by one with his saber qi, preventing her from forming a formation. But Lu Wangshu’s Void Drawing of Talismans seemed endless. For a moment, the two were at a stalemate. "Hmm, why isn’t sister using other techniques and puppets...?" Not fully aware of Lu Wangshu’s true combat capabilities, Lu Qingqi had seen her fish-bombing adventures in Great Dream Marsh and sparring with Lu Lingxiao. So after watching for a while, she sensed something was off, realizing her sister wasn’t going all out! Seeing her aunt and elder brother’s calm expressions, as well as the nearby Violet Thunder True Man, she quickly guessed why. If the battle ended quickly, it would not only embarrass the Shangguan family but also discourage future challenges to her sister. If the fight goes back and forth, and she defeats her opponent on equal footing, it would save face for the Shangguan family and continue to attract challenges, earning more Core Formation Spiritual Objects!
