Strong Luck Displays Its Might

Chapter 40: Strong Luck Displays Might

Master Wu did not take the stones Lin Yi offered. Instead, he was stunned for a long moment before erupting into wild laughter.

It turned out that when people are speechless, they truly do laugh.

"Hahahahaha, good, good, good..."

"Interesting... very interesting!!"

Master Wu laughed until he was breathless, his body shaking with mirth.

After a long while, he finally stopped laughing, tears streaming from his crinkled eyes.

How long had it been...

Master Wu had forgotten how long it had been since someone had amused him so thoroughly.

This young man before him was truly a talent.

Master Wu stood up, picked up three stones from the ground, and patted Lin Yi's shoulder with a smile.

"Alright! Kid, I'll bet with you."

"But if you win, you get my blade. What if you lose? There's no such thing as getting something for nothing."

Lin Yi replied, "That's only natural. Take anything I own, Master."

Master Wu narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness appearing on his face. "In that case, I'll take your life!"

Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged. "As you wish, life and death are in the hands of heaven!"

"Good kid!" Master Wu's face turned grim. "Perfect timing, I wanted to try a refining method for a Treasure Artifact that requires a True Person sacrifice. You, kid, though foolish, have a certain spiritual aura about you. Perhaps you can help me sacrifice an Artifact Spirit for my Treasure Artifact."

Lin Yi showed no fear, his expression utterly calm.

Master Wu said no more, turning back to his stall and lightly weighing the three thumb-sized stones in his hand.

"I just need to throw the three stones into the circle you drew?"

Master Wu verified the rules again.

Lin Yi nodded. "Just throw them onto the ground within the drawn circle."

"Heh..." Master Wu chuckled. "Then watch closely."

Master Wu casually raised his hand and suddenly threw all three stones into the air at once!

This was clearly an act of overconfidence.

He could have thrown them one by one, but Master Wu chose the most difficult method – throwing them all together.

And he didn't just throw them; he tossed them.

This was clearly the arrogance of a powerful individual.

He didn't want an even match; he wanted absolute dominance.

He wanted Lin Yi to lose with no room for argument.

Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged, but the tightly clenched sleeves of his robe betrayed his inner turmoil.

[Know Heavenly Fate]

[Destiny Talisman Coin: 20200]

Activate [Strong Luck]!

Lin Yi's eyes sharpened.

The next second, his Destiny Points began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Destiny Points -100]

[Destiny Points -100]

Lin Yi gasped.

This was the first time he had seen his Destiny Points drop at a rate of one hundred per second.

At the same time.

The three stones began to ascend, reaching their apex at a visible speed.

A fierce hawk's cry rang out.

Sparrowhawk!

A type of hawk that preys on small birds.

Presumably, the size of the three stones resembled small birds, attracting the attention of this hawk, which then shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.

Master Wu's eyes narrowed, and he let out a soft "Beast!"

Then, he condensed True Qi in his mouth, and a True Qi projectile, like an arrow, instantly shot towards the hawk!

Crack!

The True Qi, taking form, pierced the hawk's body, killing it instantly.

Lin Yi's pupils contracted.

Seventh rank!

He was actually at the same level as Master Yuan, the owner of the martial arts school!

"Heh, a mere trick." Master Wu subconsciously thought this was Lin Yi's doing.

After dealing with the hawk, he immediately looked towards Lin Yi.

His expression remained unchanged.

Master Wu's heart grew suspicious: "Does he have any other moves?"

At the same time, a powerful karmic effect, countless coincidences, quietly operated on the three pebbles.

The hawk's body was pierced, and a large amount of blood splattered.

One of the bloodstains fell within the circle Lin Yi had previously drawn.

The smell of blood attracted the Big Yellow Dog, which had been lurking nearby, to rush over at high speed. It then sat in the circle and began to lick.

Master Wu frowned, releasing his aura.

The yellow dog trembled upon sensing the aura.

"Scram!"

The yellow dog fled in disarray.

Just then, at the alley entrance, a Tassel-Haired Child, dressed in Brocade Clothes and holding a slingshot in one hand and a candied haw in the other, had his eyes light up.

"Little dog!"

He immediately threw the candied haw away, picked up his slingshot, and chased after the yellow dog.

At this moment, the three pebbles in the void had finally reached their highest point and began to fall rapidly.

Watching the child chase the dog.

A Servant Boy, carrying a package, hurried to catch up behind the child.

"Young Master! Don't run! Today is the ancestral sacrifice, you need to hurry home!"

The Servant Boy wasn't paying attention and suddenly stepped on the candied haw the child had thrown on the ground.

He then fell heavily, and the package in his hands flew out.

Inside the package were the Incense and Candles and Firecrackers needed for the ancestral sacrifice, which scattered in mid-air.

The child, however, paid no heed. He had already loaded his slingshot, wrapped a pebble in it, and shot it fiercely at the yellow dog.

The child clearly came from a prominent family, having trained his physique since childhood. He had considerable strength, and the Marble shot out with a whistling sound.

At the same time, the Firecrackers that had fallen earlier also flew directly in the direction the Marble was shot.

In mid-air, the trajectory of a falling pebble coincided with the positions of the Marble and the Firecrackers.

The moment the Marble and the pebble rubbed against each other, a spark flashed.

With a loud bang, the Firecrackers exploded, shattering the three pebbles in the void into seven pieces, which were then blasted in all directions!

How is this possible!

Master Wu's pupils contracted, and his thoughts momentarily froze.

Everything happened too fast.

It all happened almost instantaneously.

So fast that no one could react.

Not only Master Wu, but Lin Yi was also stunned.

Apart from the day he was born, this was the second time he had personally experienced the heaven-defying power of [Strong Luck].

However, Master Wu quickly reacted. Although it was strange and bizarre, he couldn't afford to think too much.

Master Wu raised his hand, and beneath his skin, seven threads formed by True Qi emerged.

The threads rapidly intertwined, and on the shattered stones, they suddenly pulled towards the spot Lin Yi had drawn a circle.

And during the pulling process, Master Wu re-condensed the previously shattered stones, restoring them to their original three pieces.

Clack!

The three ill-fated pebbles finally fell into the deep pit destined for them.

"Hoo..." Master Wu exhaled a deep breath, a relieved smile appearing at the corner of his lips. He looked at Lin Yi and said, "It seems I have won..."

Before Master Wu could finish speaking!

Rumble!

The ground shook and trembled.

The surrounding houses quaked, and outside the alley, there was a commotion of voices.

"Earth Dragon Turns Over!!"

"Everyone stay away from the walls, retreat quickly!"

The chaos lasted less than three breaths.

The originally chaotic and noisy situation suddenly

"Heh..." Lin Yi grinned at Master Wu, "Master, it seems I've won."

Master Wu's pupils contracted. He suddenly reacted to the sudden earthquake and quickly looked at the positions of the three falling rocks.

At this moment, there was no trace of falling rocks within the circle.

Only a ferocious crack remained, left behind by the aftershocks of the earthquake.
