Chapter 90 The Invisible Hand from the Old Celestial Master
It's not that Zhuge Qing couldn't defeat Liu Wu Kui head-on.
Although the magical artifacts she possessed were indeed very powerful, Liu Wu Kui's combat skills were still too poor.
If you want to win head-on, you can only use powerful spells to bombard Liu Wu Kui's magic weapon until it reaches its limit and breaks.
However, Zhuge Qing could not guarantee that he could control the force perfectly, just enough to break the magic weapon without harming Liu Wu Kui.
After all, this is just a friendly sparring match; it wouldn't be good if the young girl got hurt.
Zhuge Qing might as well just kick him out of the stadium.
However, Liu Wu Kui, who was on the other side, did not want to accept Zhuge Qing's kindness. Instead, he continued to clamor for a real man's duel with him again!
"Zhuge Qing, if you're a man, come with me for another head-on fight! I'll beat the shit out of you!"
Faced with Liu Wu Kui's challenge, Zhuge Qing also felt a bit troubled.
These kinds of girls are really hard to deal with; I'm not very good at dealing with this type of person.
If it were a young woman like Zhuge Qing, it would be much easier to handle; he's quite good at dealing with this type.
Just as Zhuge Qing was about to find a reason to send Liu Wu Kui away, a voice from the side interrupted Liu Wu Kui's continued entanglement.
"Kui'er, don't bother Mr. Zhuge anymore. It's okay to lose. I'll get revenge for you when I have the chance later."
The person who stopped Liu Wukui was Ma Xianhong, who had just come down from the stands.
Upon seeing Ma Xianhong's arrival, Zhuge Qing said with admiration.
"Mr. Ma's magical artifacts are truly amazing; they're really impressive."
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Zhuge."
After exchanging a few perfunctory words, Ma Xianhong led the still somewhat resentful Liu Wukui away.
After the brief farce ended, the competition continued in full swing.
However, most of the later matches were not as intense as Zhuge Qing's match; they were mostly simple one-sided affairs.
……
Liu Wu Kui's "childlike destiny" caused quite a stir, as such innate talent, which allows one to possess considerable combat power without much hard work later in life, is truly enviable.
"I think I'm also a child born with a special destiny. I've been plagued by illness since I was a child, and I'm also very beautiful. It's a perfect description of me."
"Really? Look how beautiful she is in the photos!"
"Look at it, isn't it beautiful? (photo.jpg)"
"Uh... bro, you're overthinking it. You're just plain crazy. Get a grip on yourself, okay?"
"Your mother..."
……
Along with Liu Wu Kui, several magical artifacts she used in battle also became popular.
The name "magical artifact" has once again become a hot topic online. Previously, when people learned about the existence of magical artifacts from the Divine Refinement, they did not have a clear understanding of their power.
Even many extraordinary individuals have little knowledge of magical artifacts.
Most extraordinary individuals never see a few magical artifacts in their entire lives, let alone ordinary people.
But when Liu Wu Kui used multiple magical artifacts in succession during his battle with Zhuge Qing, it instantly overturned the understanding of these country bumpkins.
Liu Wu Kui's strength is not low, but it is not high either, after all, his age is a factor.
Yet, she managed to fight Zhuge Qing so fiercely with just a few magical artifacts!
In the end, Zhuge Qing was even "forced" to exploit a loophole in the rules to drive Liu Wu Kui off the field, thus securing victory.
Especially when they learned that advanced magical artifacts not only did not impose any conditions on the user, but some artifacts did not even require the user to have Qi, and could automatically activate a shield to protect the host when the user encountered danger.
In an instant, "how to buy Buddhist artifacts" became a trending topic.
Although the current public security situation looks very good, there are still a group of business owners who are somewhat uneasy about their safety.
They all wanted to buy a magical artifact that could automatically protect its owner.
Of course, this is something that cannot be purchased.
After all, besides Shenji Bailian, who else has the ability to create extra magical artifacts to sell?
Compared to online opinions, another sentiment of dissatisfaction began to circulate among the contestants.
This feeling spread throughout all the players' ears after Ma Xianhong crushed his opponent with an absolute victory and advanced to the next round.
“I admit that Ma Xianhong is indeed an excellent weapon refiner, but isn’t this competition supposed to be a sparring match between extraordinary individuals? Ma Xianhong beat us with just a few magical artifacts. What is this competition about? Isn’t it all about the magical artifacts he has?”
"That's right! With the magical artifacts Ma Xianhong has, even a child could advance. If Liu Wu Kui hadn't met Zhuge Qing, I think she would have advanced too!"
"If this competition continues and Ma Xianhong actually wins, then anyone with his magic weapon could win too, right?"
……
In a room of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Several members of the Ten Elders who came to visit were gathered together, discussing the remarks made by the contestants.
The question is whether contestants are allowed to use magical artifacts in the competition.
The hot-tempered Lü Ci retorted directly, "What's there to discuss? It's his own ability to possess magical artifacts; if he's capable of carrying them, isn't that enough?"
Once Lü Ci opened his mouth, Wang Ai, who was close to him, simply shut up.
Since Feng Tianyang's deeds were exposed, Feng Zhenghao has openly followed Wang Ai in his actions.
Chen Jinkui, who didn't want Zhang Chulan to win the championship from the bottom of his heart, was also happy to see Ma Xianhong win the final championship, and also spoke up.
"Old Master Lü is right. We shouldn't restrict the contestants' magical artifacts. If we restrict magical artifacts, what about talismans, hidden weapons, and mechanical devices? These can all be inherited from others."
Immediately, all ten elders present opposed restricting the contestants' magical artifacts.
Lu Jin sighed inwardly as she looked at the gaze from her old friend Zhang Zhiwei.
Although he didn't really want to get involved in the affairs of the supernatural world after the past of the Sanyi Sect was exposed, Zhang Zhiwei was still an old friend of his.
He knew very well why this grand Taoist ritual was being held.
Years of friendship made Lu Jin feel embarrassed not to ask Zhang Zhiwei for help.
"I think the feedback from the contestants is still very important. After all, the main purpose of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is not to see who is the most powerful, but to exchange skills and ideas. If everyone relies on magical artifacts, how can we improve?"
Where did all these people come from?
Isn't Ma Xianhong the only one who possesses magical artifacts?
None of the Ten Elders present were children; they all knew that Lu Jin was speaking up for Zhang Zhiwei.
"I think Lao Lu is absolutely right. The fundamental reason I held the Luotian Grand Ceremony is to exchange skills."
Following Zhang Zhiwei's statement, the neutral Ten Elders Muyou also chimed in, saying that the Old Celestial Master's words made sense.
Seeing Lu Jin, Zhang Zhiwei, and Mu You agree one after another, Guan Shihua also said that she was fine with it.
Guan Shihua agreed, and Ru Hu, who had been following Guan Shihua, also chimed in, saying that the Old Master was right.
Ultimately, the nine elders present voted by a vote of five to four, and the use of magical artifacts will be restricted in subsequent competitions.
A notice was suddenly posted at the entrance of the competition venue.
"After discussion and voting by the Ten Elders, the use of certain props will be restricted. In addition to special props such as flying needles and flying knives, talisman props must be hand-drawn by the user, magic weapon props can be used at most one, and traps and hidden weapons can be used only three per match."
