Chapter 292 – To come knocking for a fight (9)

In fact, how could he have known that due to Su Luo being a space mage, her spirit aura was understated. If you were not at the peak and one of the most outstanding experts, you basically could not clearly see the strength of her spirit power. According to Liu Potian’s strength, he was not strong enough to make out her spirit strength.

“Good, let’s do this according to what His Highness said.” Since this was a competition that was completely lacking in suspense, if he didn’t take advantage of this, then Liu Potian felt as though this would be a wasted throwaway.

However, who would carry fifty thousand gold coins on them all the time? Liu Potian was an impatient person, so he took out a very dark bronze plaque from his chest pocket and passed it to Nangong Liuyun: “Fifty thousand gold coins will take too much time and effort. It’s not necessary. The stuff on this piece of bronze plaque is worth some money, this elder will use it as collateral for that fifty thousand gold coins.”

This piece of bronze plaque was…Nangong Liuyun’s eyes dropped down when he heard what was said, an astute expression rapidly passed through his fluid gaze. However, the speed was too fast, so no one else noticed it, even Liu Potian, who stood opposite of him, wasn’t able to catch it.

Just because of this quick expression that he overlooked, Liu family’s Elder Ancestor, in the near future, would hammer his chest non-stop because of this matter. He would also vomit blood, and for almost half a year, could not leave his bed.

Right now, Liu family’s Elder Ancestor still didn’t know that he had arrived on the verge of misfortune. His face was disdainfully casting sidelong glances at Su Luo, completely disregarding this little waste material.

Liu Chengfeng also thought this way.

Su Luo very contemptuously shot a glance at that bronze plaque, with a frown, she said: “What is this blackish stuff, is it worth fifty thousand gold coins? Could it really compare to my cyan-colored crystal stone?”

Liu Elder’s pair of bronze, bell-sized, large eyes glared at her, indignantly denounced: “Loathsome young boy, since you won’t bet, I, your big daddy…”

“Alas.” Nangong Liuyun very kind-heartedly patted Liu Elder’s shoulder. He retrieved that bronze plaque from his hand and firmly gripped it in his hand, before opening his mouth to speak, “Elder, why would you lower yourself to this child’s level? On top of this is carved Liu family’s Spirit Dance Steps. Even though this generation of the Liu family doesn’t have the aptitude to learn it, however, it really is worth a few gold coins.”

Liu Elder, having heard what was said, his thick-skinned face became red and let out a few snorting sounds.

Nangong Liuyun again smilingly said, “Enough, enough, changing it back and forth is too inconvenient. Just settle on this piece of bronze plaque. It’s a bet.”

Originally, Su Luo was still somewhat disdainful, but she and Nangong Liuyun had a strong mutual understanding. Both of them were the same kind of people, sinister, deceitful and believed that if they didn’t take advantage of a given opportunity, then they were damn idiots. How could he let her be at a disadvantage? Therefore, once she saw Nangong Liuyun, this kind of behavior, Su Luo immediately understood.

This bronze plaque was good stuff, at least, with regards to her, it was absolutely good stuff.

As a result, Su Luo assumed an appearance of being awfully reluctant: “Okay, okay, since His Highness Prince Jin guarantees it, then let’s just bet on this piece of bronze plaque.”

At this moment, within Su Luo’s space, the little divine dragon seemed to have sniffed the smell of treasure. Both of his forelegs were leaning forward on the space’s wall, standing up erect, with his little paws slapping at the walls in her space, itching to fly out immediately.

This little thing that was always coveting treasures, however, this also proved that that darkish bronze plaque was indeed good stuff. Since it was a treasure, then why would she let it return back into the Liu family’s hand again? Naturally, it must become part of her possessions.

Yet on the surface, Su Luo still cast a very disdainful glance at that piece of bronze plaque. Afterwards, she shallowly shook her clasped hands at Liu Chengfeng in a mocking salute: “Are we going to fight or not?”

Liu Chengfeng never thought that this loathsome little boy actually had such large guts. He actually dared to challenge him, who was a third rank martial artist. Immediately, his eyes opened wide, he lifted up the bottom of his Chinese-styled robe and tucked it into his waist. He then assumed a fighting position: “Come!”

Liu Chengfeng had already been a third ranked martial artist for a long time.

Su Luo just so happened to have also been promoted to the third rank today, however, she had just promoted and still hadn’t stabilized completely. Therefore, this bout of fighting competition, still had some uncertainty to it.

    Is it my imagination or is this story starting to get repetitive? I’m not sure why, but I seem to notice the repetitive plot more than other stories. Maybe the short chapter length makes it feel like the interval time is shorter?

  2. Liedral says:

    Repetitive? First time she’s actually fighting, only repetitive thing is Nangong taking advantage of her i think.

    • Owl says:

      I mean the part about “Them trying to take advantage of her -> her taking advantage of them”. It seems to be on a cyclic pattern since the stone cutting arc.

      • June says:

        I think this plot device is pretty common in most Wu Xia or Xian Xia novels… I often equate it with you mess with me I’ll make you regret it attitude that seem to be in most main characters for this type of novel.

        • Owl says:

          Yeah I know, especially Xian Xia where it is “power up, kill one enemy, another comes along, power up, kill etc etc”

          It’s just that the repetition frequency perception here seems to be high. Maybe because the chapters are short, so it seems like there is only a short time between repetitions.

          • June says:

            Yes I also think it seem that way because of short chapters, (I read it straight through so didn’t have this problem)… But she really did have a lot of enemies that she used as stepping stone to improve her cultivation.

    What boring is, the over-descriptions that makes the chap has been dragging for some time…

  4. anna says:

    yeah su luo just use this opportunity to make money and stabilize your cultivation. I can assure you, that I, reader of many cultivation novel, fighting is very beneficial in every single thing main character doing.
    thank for the hard work :3

  5. ming says:

    Step 4 – Plan changed. Now not taking extra 5,000 gold coins
    But a bronze plaque

  6. Isvil says:

    What uncertainty? Su lou has been killing third rank fighters before she even began cultivating.

    It has been made clear many times that superhuman strength, speed and experience mean shit when put against a 15 year old normal.

  7. Celestial Flame says:

    Uncertainty? really?
    At 0 rank she effortlessly defeated a 1st rank, and could fight a 2nd rank, and even dodge an assassins sneak attack of the 3rd rank.
    Sorry, but where is this “uncertainty” you speak of?
