Even if you are luckier, the opponents you meet in subsequent battles will be the same fools you met in the first battle, or slightly weaker opponents who are at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining.
Then, it is not impossible to get through the second round just by relying on talismans.
Thinking of this, Han Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again.
However, he overlooked one problem. He was not the protagonist and naturally did not have the protagonist's colorful luck.
As a villain, you are lucky if you are not extremely unlucky. It is impossible for you to rely on luck to advance.
So, as expected, Han Mo frowned when facing his opponent in the second battle.
At first glance, he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Damn, how come he is two levels higher than the guy in the first battle.
Moreover, this is not an ordinary ninth level of Qi Refining.
The short and fat man with a serious look in his eyes took out a few talismans from his storage bag and quickly slapped them on his body the moment the stone platforms merged.
Diamond Talisman, Wooden Armor Talisman, Stone Skin Talisman, Passivation Talisman...
The colorful talismans were flashing, but they were not attacking talismans, but talismans that strengthened one's own defense.
These talismans are of mixed colors and do not look like high-grade talismans. They are just ordinary items sold in the market.
From this, we can infer that this person is not a genius who is good at making talismans. He does not hold a sword as a weapon, but a shield-shaped magic weapon. He does not look like an offensive swordsman.
When Han Mo was looking at the other person, the other person was also staring at Han Mo with vigilance.
After sending out all the talismans, he shouted softly, and an ochre-colored halo emerged from his body. The halo quickly enveloped his entire body and condensed into an ochre-colored protective shield like an eggshell.
Seeing this, Han Mo quickly came to the conclusion: this was a cautious ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator who maxed out his defense because he was afraid of pain.
Obviously, not everyone is as big and strong as the man before. In this world of cultivating immortals, only cautious people can live longer.
In the game, this kind of earth spirit root cultivator who has maxed out defense and cultivated the "turtle shell" is also a very tough opponent in the Ascension Conference.
With the help of various defensive talismans and his own earth-based defensive spells, even if the opponent was a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining, the fight would be like scraping.
This is definitely the most disgusting opponent in the early stage of the game.
When encountering an ordinary cultivator, they can only choose to scrape the enemy while competing with the enemy for spiritual energy. Only whoever has sufficient spiritual energy and can hold on to the end can turn defeat into victory.
It just so happens that the cultivation method of this kind of earth spiritual root cultivator is of the type that restores and stores energy. The amount of spiritual energy stored and recovered is far beyond what ordinary cultivators can compare to.
Therefore, monks often find that their spiritual energy is exhausted after fighting for a long time, and finally they can only be defeated with hatred.
"Brother, come on! But I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, because no matter what tricks you use, you can't defeat me."
After the short and fat man had made all the preparations, he felt that he had already won the battle. His originally vigilant expression finally became relaxed, and he even looked a little smug.
The thing he feared most about this "Turtle Shell Flow" was that the opponent would cast some powerful lethal spell before his shield was formed.
But the opponent did not do so. Perhaps it was because he did not master any powerful killing spells!
In any case, his "tortoise shell" is now complete and indestructible. What awaits his opponents is only the exhaustion of their spiritual energy and a bitter defeat.
However, this is exactly what happens to ordinary monks when they encounter him.
Unfortunately, the person he met was Han Mo, who was familiar with all the game strategies.
"is it?"
Looking at the short and fat man shouting opposite him, Han Mo took a deep breath, quickly took out a medicine bottle from his storage bag, poured out three pills and swallowed them silently.
Soul-restoring Pill: Can slowly restore consumed spiritual energy.
Violent Pill: When releasing spells or talismans, a large amount of spiritual energy can be released at once, enhancing the damage of the spells or talismans.
Tracing Gold Powder: When releasing gold spells in the Qi Refining Stage, it reduces the consumption of gold spiritual energy and slightly enhances the power of gold spells.
Seeing Han Mo swallow a few pills, the short and fat man suddenly sneered and said with a bit of complacency:
"It's useless. No matter what elixir you take, you can't break through my iron wall defense. My last name is Xu, and I'm from Jiangdong. We have a famous saying, Jiangdong Iron Wall..."
However, before the other party could finish his words, Han Mo had already torn open a pure golden talisman that looked very high-end, and in an instant a slender and sharp golden cone condensed at his side.
"Golden Cone Talisman, the combat talisman with the highest lethality in the Qi Refining Stage, has the ability to penetrate armor?!!"
The short and fat man seemed to recognize the origin of this high-level talisman, which was also the thing that cultivators like him feared the most.
only……
"If you had ten of them, I'd still be a little afraid of you, but you dare to use just this one... Fuck!"
The short and fat man wanted to shout, but suddenly he found that Han Mo took out a stack of golden talismans from somewhere and tore them all open at once.
In an instant, thirty golden cones covered his entire body.
The short and fat man screamed in fear and dared not continue speaking.
One golden cone talisman sold for one hundred low-grade spirit stones in the market. These thirty pieces would cost three thousand spirit stones, while the total amount of his war supplies was only twenty thousand spirit stones.
At this moment, Han Mo could clearly feel what it felt like to spend spirit stones like flowing water, and he felt a little pain in his heart. Three thousand spirit stones were gone just like that.
There is more than one way to crack the "Turtle Shell Flow", but Han Mo still chose the most violent method.
Although this was also part of his plan, the unexpected expenses still made Han Mo's face twitch slightly, and even his eyes became "cruel":
"You little brat, I'll give you six breaths to reorganize your words."
"What……?"
"One breath."
"Well... the conference is so lively today."
"Two breaths."
"Brother, don't be like this."
"Four breaths."
"Wait, isn't it three breaths? Who did you learn arithmetic from?"
"Six breaths."
"Wait, brother, big brother, we have something to discuss."
Looking at the short and fat man opposite him with wide eyes and a look of fear, Han Mo's face was gloomy and he said viciously:
"Go and have a good discussion with this prince about the three thousand spirit stones!"
"Rain of pear blossom cones!"
Chapter 43: The Prodigal Son, He is the Biggest Prodigal Son in Tianhaizhou
2023-11-10
Whoosh-!
The golden spikes, which had the ability to penetrate armor, shot out like a rainstorm from the sky.
Although the earth spirit root cultivators of the "Turtle Shell Stream" have extremely strong defenses and are invulnerable to swords and spears, their own spiritual energy is endless and recovers quickly. Although they seem to be unstoppable, they still have a shortcoming, which is that they are too slow.
Due to the effects of passivation, wooden armor, stone skin and other talismans, the short and fat man's body had long become heavy and his movements were slow.
However, in the face of powerful defense, the weakness of slow speed was infinitely weakened.
After all, I'm just standing there letting you hit me, and you can't even break my defense, so why do you need speed?
However, all of this is based on the opponent's inability to break through the defense.
Once someone like Han Mo follows the strategy and finds targeted measures, his slow speed will become his fatal weakness.
On the stone platform, facing the golden cones that were like a rainstorm, the short and fat man had no way to dodge them.
As easily as a blade cutting through cloth, the golden cones cut through the khaki light shield on his body without any hindrance, and after consuming dozens of golden cones, they shattered the hard wooden armor and stone skin one by one.
At the same time, a sharp golden aura attached to the skin of the short and fat man, preventing his wooden armor and stone skin from regenerating.
Finally, when the spike was about to pierce the short and fat man's body, Han Mo vaguely heard a distorted and fearful "I give up" that was in sharp contrast to the previous triumphant shout.
Then there was a burst of green light on the stone platform, which instantly enveloped the short and fat man. The subsequent damage caused by the sharp cone breaking through his armor did not really hurt him, but turned into a strong wind, pushing him out of the stone platform.
As if some protective formation was triggered, the short and fat man flew several meters from the stone platform and fell to the ground. He let out a long scream and didn't get up for a long time.
Han Mo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there was such a magical formation on the Ascension Platform.
It seems that the six sects have really considered everything and set up a protective formation on this competition venue.
Once the damage caused by the opponent is enough to threaten the contestant's life, the formation will be automatically triggered to protect his safety.
……
As a result, the second game was also won smoothly.
Although the price is a bit high.
The green light triggered on the stone platform also attracted the attention of many people.
After all, under normal circumstances, the spells cast by a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage would not trigger the protective mechanism of the stone platform, unless the spells were of particularly strong destructive power.
So this time, most people finally discovered Han Mo's existence.
"Isn't that the prince of Yifeng Marquis Mansion? He actually won two games in a row?"
"He's the number one playboy in Tianhaizhou. I watched both of his matches. He won the first one by a sneak attack. How despicable.
In the second match, this kid threw thirty golden cone talismans in one go, and directly used spirit stones to beat his opponent to death. "
"Damn, thirty? If I remember correctly, the Golden Cone Talisman costs one hundred spirit stones each. Wouldn't thirty pieces be three thousand spirit stones?"
"In other words, this kid spent three thousand spirit stones in one go in a competition? My God, even if the Yifeng Marquis's Mansion is rich, they don't spend money like this!"
"Prodigal son! This Han Mo is the biggest prodigal son in Tianhaizhou. How could the old Marquis Han Lin be so noble and upright, and have such a prodigal son's offspring?"
Han Mo naturally also noticed the pointing and talking of the people in the stands, which made him, who originally felt sorry for the spirit stones, feel a little relieved.
Although this competition cost a huge amount of money, at least the money spent was effective.
And even if he doesn't spend money in this second game, he will find an opportunity to spend money in the next few games.
In this way, the second step of his plan was also realized, and the character of the prodigal son was established.
He has no sense of honor, is despicable, and is a prodigal.
