Money Asks the Way, Fooling the Crowd
Liu Yi saw a huge sun suddenly rise on the arena, followed by an explosion. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but gasp:
"Holy crap! This is like a nuclear bomb. It looks incredibly powerful, but it's not easy to control. Even Ye Liang himself was injured by the blast."
Qian Duoduo coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered to his feet. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been seriously injured by the explosion.
He looked up at Ye Liang, who was also coughing up blood, and roared, "Are you crazy? If you don't want to live, find a place to end it all. Why drag me down with you?"
Ye Liang glared at him fiercely, but his tone carried a hint of helplessness:
"I just created this move myself; I didn't expect the explosive power to be so great."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's heart suddenly stirred.
He also spent a lot of Energy Points in the Dao Comprehension Space to create a Law Technique based on the Great Dao of Money, but he has not actually used it yet and does not know how effective it is.
Given the current situation, it seems we can't defeat Ye Liang without using this method.
Moreover, there seems to be no harm in giving it a try; if it succeeds, it might defeat Ye Liang; if it fails, there's no real loss.
With this thought in mind, he immediately recalled the five copper coins and held them in his hand. Looking at Ye Liang, who was standing guard opposite him, a strange smile appeared on his face.
He then formed a hand seal and chanted a mantra. "Money Asks the Way, spirits pave the way, wealth can communicate with the gods."
As soon as he finished speaking, he tossed a copper coin onto the arena in front of him.
Seeing that he was about to launch another attack, Ye Liang immediately prepared to use the Blazing Sun Sphere to counterattack.
But when he saw the copper coin lying on the ground, something baffling happened.
As if his body were out of his control, he suddenly threw away the Blazing Sun Sphere in his hand and lunged at the copper coins on the ground.
He reacted extremely quickly, immediately channeling his spiritual power to try and regain control of his body.
In just two breaths, he regained control of his body and was about to launch a counterattack when he saw four copper coins floating above his head, and he froze in place.
He had worked hard for this competition for three whole years.
Working tirelessly from dawn till dusk, constantly studying Dissemination System, they never slacked off for a moment.
But in the end, they still lost, and the loss was somewhat inexplicable.
A wave of bitterness washed over him. It seemed the title of "the most tragic saint in history" would continue to be pinned on him.
I lost!
He asked in a hoarse voice, "What kind of Law Technique Divine Ability did you use at the end? It was so bizarre."
Upon seeing Ye Liang admit defeat, Qian Duoduo immediately burst into excited laughter:
"I won! No matter how well you hid, I still won in the end. As for this last move, it's called ' Money Asks the Way.'"
He refused to reveal any further information about this move.
He himself hadn't expected that the "Money Asks the Way" Law Technique would be so effective, even controlling Ye Liang for two breaths.
While the opponent's lack of preparedness was partly to blame, it is enough to prove that this Law Technique has great potential and can be further refined and improved to enhance its power.
Liu Yi watched as Qian Duoduo Law Technique won using the "Money Asks the Way" spell, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes as he secretly analyzed the situation:
This Law Technique has the effect of forcibly controlling people, but it is still quite rudimentary at present.
If Ye Liang had been prepared, he could have at most interfered with the opponent, and would never have been controlled for two whole breaths like he was just now.
However, this Law Technique has amazing potential. If it can be refined and perfected, it will surely have even greater power in the future.
Thinking of this, he opened Microchat and sent a message to Qian Duoduo:
"Congratulations on defeating Ye Liang. From now on, no one will dare to say that you won by luck. This time, you proved yourself with your own strength."
Qian Duoduo replied instantly with a GIF of herself laughing with her hands on her hips, and then replied again:
"Hahaha, Brother Yi! I defeated Ye Liang fair and square again this time, it's so satisfying!"
Liu Yi replied, "Your last Law Technique has great potential; you should refine it."
Also, you'd better not slack off in your cultivation. Ye Liang will definitely work his ass off to try and turn the tables in order to get rid of the title of "the most miserable holy son in history".
If you slack off, it would be embarrassing if he defeated you in the future.
Qian Duoduo replied, "Don't worry, Brother Yi, I will definitely improve the ' Money Asks the Way ' Law Technique and increase its power."
That Ye Liang will definitely be secretly working hard to improve his cultivation and defeat me.
I definitely won't let my guard down, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to be defeated."
At this moment, the crowd below the arena watched as Ye Liang inexplicably threw away the Blazing Sun Sphere, lunged at the copper coin, and then lost.
After regaining their senses, whispers and murmurs rose and fell:
"What's going on? They were evenly matched just now, how did Ye Liang suddenly lose?"
"Qian Duoduo's Law Technique is too bizarre. Even Ye Liang was controlled by it. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape it either."
"They are really strong, much stronger than the other holy sons and daughters!"
I'd always heard that Qian Duoduo beat Ye Liang because of his Three Spirit Root, and I always thought he just used heavenly materials and earthly treasures to boost his cultivation. I never imagined he was truly capable.
"It seems that aptitude for cultivation doesn't mean everything. As long as you're willing to work hard, you can even defeat geniuses with Heavenly Spirit Root."
On the stage, Qian Duoduo looked at Ye Liang and suddenly shouted:
"My victory over you this time proves that even with poor aptitude for cultivation, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can still defy fate and defeat those with Heavenly Spirit Root."
My fate is in my own hands, not in the Fate.
Ye Liang was so angry when he suddenly adopted this attitude that his face turned red.
He really wanted to shout out, "Stop pretending! You already had Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root implanted, your aptitude has already changed, and you only beat me because of the system!"
But he swallowed the words back; he could keep the system a secret for as long as possible.
If the entire cultivation Immortal Realm were to become aware of the existence of the Fairness System, his advantage would vanish.
He could only watch helplessly as Qian Duoduo put on airs on stage, fooling the cultivators below the arena.
Ye Liang suppressed his anger, said "Qian Duoduo, you have a thick skin," and flew off the arena to return to his sect's residence to heal his injuries.
At this moment, the live stream chat was flooded with comments, and everyone was furiously criticizing it:
"Damn! Qian Duoduo is showing off again, completely fooling those cultivators."
However, Ye Liang was truly patient in order to avoid exposing the system; he didn't expose him at all.
"Will those cultivators who are bound to systems want to beat up Qian Duoduo and get revenge for being fooled today when they find out the truth?"
"Actually, Qian Duoduo wasn't entirely lying; in other words, what he said was true."
"As long as you work hard and are persistent enough to earn Energy Points, you really can defy fate and defeat those with Heavenly Spirit Root through the Fairness System."
"Holy crap, it's really true! Everyone's going crazy trying to earn Energy Points."
Inventions from all walks of life are constantly emerging, and those with high comprehension are even creating new Cultivation Method to sell to the mall.
"From now on, those cultivators who are bound to systems will also be swept up in this wave."
"Haha, I'm suddenly looking forward to seeing those fairies roll up their sleeves for Energy Points."
Do you think they might start performing live just to earn Energy Points?
"That's very likely! There are tons of beautiful women doing live streams on TikTok right now. I really want to see what the fairies from the cultivation Immortal Realm look like doing live streams."
