My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 88 Challenge
"As they watched the body of the white-robed warrior being carried away, the crowd in the stands fell silent. It was only after a long while that thunderous applause broke out."

"You also look up at the black-robed warrior on the stage."

"You are not unfamiliar with that knife just now."

"It is the ancient sword-drawing technique of Iaido!"

"That old man used this sword technique to deal with you in Shaoxiang Alley. However, his attainments in sword techniques are far inferior to those of the black-robed warrior."

"When you looked at the black-robed warrior, he also noticed you and challenged you. Do you want to accept the challenge?"

However, just as Jiang Xinghuo was about to click to accept, the game text suddenly changed again.

"The exile 'Wild Swordsman' has challenged you!"

"Do you want to accept the challenge?"

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the game text pop up, he was stunned. It turned out that this black-robed warrior was not an NPC, but a player.

"Do you want to accept the challenge of the exile 'Wild Swordsman'?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't hesitate and clicked to accept. The other party had come to his door and it would be too embarrassing if he avoided the fight.

"You have accepted the challenge of the Exiled Wild Blademaster."

“You stepped into the ring.”

"You duelled with the Wild Swordsman."

"You have triggered your Tathagata's talent and have seen through the other party's true colors."

"Wild Swordsman (Excellent Relic), a swordsman wandering in the secular world, born with the characteristics of being proficient in swordsmanship, innate characteristics: when practicing swordsmanship and related methods, his comprehension will be greatly improved."

Seeing the introduction of the Wild Swordsman's relics, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but grin.

He is a natural swordsman. If we talk about martial arts alone, I am definitely no match for him.

However, it doesn't seem to say that only martial arts skills can be used in the ring and other offensive means cannot be used.

"The wild swordsman is so confident that he lets you strike first. If he strikes first, you probably won't have a chance to strike back."

"You used the Great Five Thunder Method."

"You inserted the Evil Star Bite in your hand into the ring at your feet. A ball of dazzling lightning surged in your palm and quickly spread to the Evil Star Bite, flowing in all directions like a tide."

"These lightnings are very strange. They are extremely violent when they move and jump, but their color is dark and gives people a sticky and soft feeling, just like a quagmire. However, their power is overbearing and unparalleled. Wherever they pass, the gravel will shatter and turn into scorched earth."

"When the Wild Swordsman saw the method you used, his face changed drastically. He immediately wanted to swing his sword to cut off your spell, but as soon as he jumped up, the lightning magma that was like a black mud swamp wrapped him up."

"The opponent was unable to break free from the lightning and was soon burned into a pile of charcoal. Even the cement arena under his feet was completely reduced to ruins."

"You have killed the Exiled Wild Blademan."

"You gained incense +500."

"You have comprehended the Great Five Thunder Method: Guishui Yinlei."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the last line of text, he was greatly surprised. After he obtained the Great Five Thunder Technique, he had never used it and did not know its specific power.

However, judging from the game text, the power of the Great Five Thunder Method cannot be underestimated. It was performed using the evil star bite as a medium and actually destroyed the entire arena.

"You go forward and touch the corpse of the wild swordsman."

"I found out that he had put all his stuff into his storage bag, so I had no choice but to use the Flying Dragon Cloud-Exploring Hand on him, which I hadn't used for a long time."

"You used the Flying Dragon Cloud-Seeking Hand on the Exile 'Wild Swordsman'." "You have obtained, Sour Plum Rice Balls x 2."

"Sour Plum Rice Ball (Ordinary Consumable Item), the most common food in Yingzhou. After taking it, you can restore 50% of your physical strength in a very short time."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look and found it to be similar to the rice dumpling sacrifice, except that one restored physical strength while the other restored magical power.

"You walked off the stage, and everyone looked at you in awe. After a long while, they burst into thunderous applause."

"The owner of the tavern also came over carefully and handed over your share of the reward."

"You have received incense +7000."

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that there would be so many people coming to support him just because he went on stage to fight with others.

If we fight a few more games, will there be more incense?

However, as soon as this thought came to mind, a text message popped up in the game.

"Your strength has surpassed everyone here. Even if you want to continue fighting in the ring, no one will accept the challenge."

Jiang Xinghuo felt it was boring and was about to control the game character to leave the tavern when new content appeared in the game text again.

"You were about to leave the tavern with today's purchases, but you were stopped by someone."

"You discovered the Exiled Onmyoji."

"The Yin Yang Master is blocking your way. You just killed his friend, and he wants to challenge you."

"Are you willing to accept his challenge?"

"Onmyoji used the Soul-Destroying Contract on you."

"Soul-Destroying Contract (rare consumable item) can force a battle contract with another person. Neither party can violate the power of the contract. After defeating the other party, the winner can obtain the most valuable item or skill from the defeated party."

After reading the description, Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows with interest, thinking that the other party was really willing to spend money to use such a prop to deal with him. It seemed that he was determined to defeat him.

But Jiang Xinghuo didn't care. If the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. There is nothing to be afraid of.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have seen through the Onmyoji's inherited relics and abilities."

"Onmyoji (rare relic), an Onmyoji from the Eastern Island Yingzhou. He has the ability to control Shikigami for his own use. Talent effect: Shikigami sharing. He can project his own consciousness onto the Shikigami, but it is limited to use in the real world."

After seeing through the other party's background, Jiang Xinghuo was mentally prepared. He opened the character bar of the game and chose to load the relics of "Punishment Knight".

He has never used this relic since he got it, so this time he will try out its power.

"You have loaded the relic, Retribution Knight."

"The Knight of Punishment (Excellent Relic), the most powerful knight in the Knights Templar, and the king of knights with noble character. He will follow the will of the gods and tear apart all evil forces with the greatsword and lance in his hands."

"Special Talent: Punishment Aura."

"Talent effect: You can release a punishment aura. The attributes of the enemy camp within the aura will decrease by 30%. Duration: 10 minutes."

"You unfolded the aura of punishment."

"Onmyoji's overall attributes have dropped by 30%."

"The Yin-Yang Master was emitting white light, holding a talisman in his hand, and a magic circle appeared under his feet. He was ready to attack..."
