Chapter 48: Duel between Spirit Masters!
"Luck?"
Shu Qilin was stunned when he heard this, and then asked with a smile: "Do you think you are sure to beat me?"
Su Che blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "What else?"
Shu Qilin: “???”
He stood up suddenly, his hair standing on end with rage. It seemed that Su Che could always use the simplest words to irritate him most effectively.
Shu Qilin gritted his teeth, almost crushing them, and said fiercely: "Then let's give it a try!"
"As for the prize, let's do it the same as last time, still 10,000 spirit coins! A little gambling can help ease the mood and won't hurt the relationship. What do you think?"
This time, Shu Qilin remembered the lesson from last time and did not say too many harsh words.
Su Che was speechless after hearing this. Ten thousand spirit coins, is this considered a small bet for fun?
If converted into real-world currency, that would be one million.
It is difficult for an ordinary person to save enough money even if he works for a lifetime.
It can only be said that the wealth of the Grandmaster's family is beyond Su Che's imagination.
He nodded calmly and said only one word: "Yes."
This is a meaningless matchup.
If there was no gamble, Su Che didn't want to summon Zhang Jue at all. After all, as the master, he also had to bear part of the consumption incurred by the heroic spirit battle.
Grandmaster Shu Zhenhua shook his head helplessly at the side: "In that case, you two can spar for a while and stop when it's enough! I'll be the referee!"
"Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Shu." Su Che said quickly.
"It's not a big deal." Shu Zhenhua shook his head and said with a smile, "When I was young, I was just like you. As the saying goes, there is no friendship without fighting. It's a good thing to have some exchanges."
"Let's go."
Shu Zhenhua brought the two of them to a place not far outside the villa complex , where there was a wide flat area paved with slightly rustic bluestone bricks.
“Let’s do it here. There’s no need to fight in the virtual space. Competing in the real world is the most realistic and fair.” Shu Zhenhua said lightly, and then summoned his own heroic spirit.
The heroic spirit contracted by Shu Zhenhua is a burly general, covered in armor, with an exaggeratedly huge bow on his back, a sharp blade in his hand, and an extremely powerful aura.
Seeing that Su Che was somewhat curious, Shu Zhenhua took the initiative to introduce: "My heroic spirit is an extremely powerful legendary heroic spirit. He is very famous throughout the history of heroic spirits. His name has been passed down through many dynasties. He is the famous Flying General Li Guang!"
Su Che said in surprise: "Flying General Li Guang?"
"Yes, you may have heard of him. He is one of the sixty-four generals in the Martial Temple of the Tang Dynasty and one of the seventy-two generals in the Martial Temple of the Song Dynasty. He is considered the Flying General Li Guang by the emperor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!" Speaking of his heroic spirit, Shu Zhenhua was obviously proud. He said with emotion: "It's a pity that I am only a master. It is difficult for me to be promoted to the eighth or ninth level and let the heroic spirit exert stronger power."
When Shu Zhenhua said this, Li Guang in the cold armor did not speak and seemed particularly indifferent.
"Feng Tang is easy to grow old, but Li Guang is hard to be promoted! Haha!"
At the same time, Su Che's heroic spirit Zhang Jue also showed up, but he smiled a little disrespectfully, as if there was something else behind his words.
One should not expose someone's shortcomings in person. Zhang Jue naturally would not say directly that Li Guang, the Flying General, was really not worthy of his title, so he just chuckled twice.
Zhang Jiao knew all the history that Shu Zhenhua didn't know.
Because of his mediocre military achievements, not many people sang praises of Li Guang. From the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, whether in the popular Han Yuefu or parallel prose poems and fu, there were very few works about Li Guang, as if he had been forgotten by time.
However, after the Tang Dynasty, in order to trace the legitimacy of the founding of the country, Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, began to randomly recognize their ancestors. They recognized Li Er as their ancestor and Li Guang as their forefather.
This made Li Guang a general praised by poets, and he quickly became the protagonist of military-themed poems in Tang Dynasty poetry and the object of endless praise by literati and poets.
It was precisely because of this that this flying general became a powerful hero. Zhang Jue looked down upon such unlucky guys the most.
Li Guang also heard the sarcasm in these words. He glanced at Zhang Jue and snorted with disdain: "A traitor to the Han Dynasty can become a hero?"
Zhang Jue looked down on him, and he looked down on Zhang Jue even more!
Right from the start, the two heroes began to confront each other.
Shu Zhenhua could naturally sense the tension between the Heroic Spirits, but he didn't care. Instead, he smiled and said to Su Che, "It's easy for Heroic Spirits of similar ages to have such conflicts. Don't worry."
Su Che nodded.
At the side, Shu Qilin also summoned his own heroic spirit. This was a young general wearing red clothes and black armor, holding a long spear in his hand. After coming out, he immediately saluted Li Guang: "Greetings, father!"
It turned out to be Li Guang’s son Li Gan!
The heroic spirits of the father and son are actually a father and son.
This made Su Che a little dumbfounded. Is it possible to play like this?
Could it be that Li Guang opened a back door?
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Wasn't it said that the spirit contracting ceremony would be absolutely fair and just?
It doesn’t seem to be the case…
Shu Zhenhua looked at the Taoist robed youth floating in the air with some curiosity at this moment, and said to his son, "I can feel the power of this heroic spirit. Qilin and Li Gan, you have to be careful."
"I know." Shu Qilin nodded and looked at his heroic spirit: "General Li Gan, I'm counting on you!"
"Just a traitor!" The heroic spirit Li Gan naturally heard the contemptuous laughter Zhang Jiao gave to his father just now. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Jiao. He did not resist this duel at all. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit!
"Come on..." Zhang Jue had no intention of fighting and said lazily.
Then the two sides separated to a certain distance.
"The showdown begins!"
With Shu Zhenhua's order, the duel officially began.
Li Gan took the lead, grabbing the halberd and stabbing forward. A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the air seemed to be cut open, and invisible waves quickly spread out in all directions.
With just a simple tentative stab, the power of the heroic spirit was fully demonstrated.
Zhang Jue looked at the scene in front of him indifferently, and he made a gesture with his fingers. Before he could recite the words, an invisible aura spread around him.
Not far away, Shu Qilin's hair stood up instantly, floating towards the sky against gravity. His skin felt a tingling pain like needles, and he could hear slight popping sounds and "chi chi" sounds in his ears.
Even Shu Zhenhua's hair, who was further away, was affected.
His expression changed slightly: "When you reach the first level of martial arts, you can use this kind of move?"
"Thunder is coming."
Zhang Jue spoke softly, and the next moment, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere in the clear sky and struck directly towards Li Gan!
Li Gan had already noticed the signs before the lightning strike, and at this moment, the halberd changed direction and stabbed directly upwards.
“Break it for me!!!”
Li Gan roared, his spiritual power bursting out, and he stabbed directly towards the lightning in the sky!
