Chapter 284: Chapter 232: Still Underestimating Jiang Cheng Too Much_2
In the eager anticipation of the onlookers, the competitors took their official positions.

On one side was the overconfident Liang Qing, and on the other was the popular contestant Li Qing.

“Li, Liang Qing seems to be very confident in Jiang Cheng’s Talisman, the effect of the Talisman might be very strong, don’t take it lightly.”

Before setting off, Zhong Yan reminded Li Qingge.

Li Qingge gave a slight smile and said, “Don’t worry, no one understands Jiang Cheng better than I do.”

Both competitors took their official places on the competition stage.

Liang Qing wore a cruel smile on his face, while Li Qingge maintained a stoic expression, trying hard to keep up Li Qing’s persona—a cold and indifferent A-grade beauty.

“Let the competition begin!”

Upon the referee’s order, Liang Qing didn’t hesitate to throw out Jiang Cheng’s Enlightenment Experience Talisman.

He was after the most direct victory!

Li Qingge intended to dodge, but the power of a Talisman was inversely proportional to its hit rate; the greater the power, the more the consumption, the longer the charge time, the harder it was to hit—this was a number balancer’s special strategy.

The Enlightenment Experience Talisman, while having many intimidating special effects, was actually not very powerful, hence it had a high hit rate.

Li Qingge was caught off guard and got hit by the Talisman.

“Not good!”

Knowing Jiang Cheng’s prowess deeply, Li Qingge immediately paused to check her condition after getting hit.

Then she discovered she suffered no losses; in fact, her spiritual power seemed to have increased.

She felt her vision and hearing had been enhanced, somewhat like the effect of a Perception Transmission Talisman enhancing the senses.

At that moment, Liang Qing’s mind was flooded with Jiang Cheng’s “free method to enhance the Enlightenment Experience Talisman, ” but his acting was overly exaggerated. Flaws aside, what was most important was the emotional stir-up.

Liang Qing exclaimed loudly, “Damn! It’s the ‘Purple Qi Coming from the East’! Legend has it that a Holy Maiden from the Taixu Sect suddenly had an Enlightenment, entering the auspicious state of Enlightenment that’s hard to seek. The celestial phenomenon at the time was this ‘Purple Qi Coming from the East’! Li, you actually have such profound fate!”

“What!”

“Enlightenment?”

“Is it true?”

“Li Qing’s luck is too good, isn’t it?”

Thanks to Liang Qing’s effusive commentating, the emotions of the spectators were instantly ignited.

Those who were clueless about Enlightenment now realized what it was.

Their attention was all on Li Qingge; many envied her, for Enlightenment was a privilege of genius, and most people would never experience it even once in their lifetimes.

As the protagonist of the Enlightenment event, Li Qingge was dumbfounded.

What?

Enlightenment?

Me?

Is this for real?

Li Qingge never considered herself to have the talent for Enlightenment, but looking at the celestial phenomenon above, she felt that her Enlightenment didn’t seem fake.

Or rather, her subconscious strongly wished for it to be real!

People tend to believe what they want to believe.

Li Qingge was still dazed, but Zhong Yan from below urgently shouted, “Li! Don’t just stand there, seize the opportunity!”

Although Zhong Yan’s address was a bit of a giveaway, luckily no one noticed the detail at that moment.

Li Qingge suddenly came to and sat down on the spot, trying to grasp this rare opportunity for Enlightenment!

Meanwhile, across from Li Qingge, Liang Qing raised his right hand, smiling: “Referee, she’s given up the competition, I’ve won, right?”

The referee had never seen such a scene before.

He asked Zhong Yan, “Mr. Zhong, is your schoolmate Li Qing from Qingxuan giving up the competition?”

“Give up, give up, what’s a competition compared to Enlightenment?”

Zhong Yan responded instantly, as any hesitation would be a disrespect to Enlightenment.

“Alright, then in this competition, Liang Qing is victorious over Li Qing!”

“That’s great!”

Inside, Liang Qing felt elated!

Li Qing had beaten him using Jiang Cheng’s Talismans before, but now with Jiang Cheng’s Talisman, he had beaten her; what was the issue?

Li Qing had struggled to defeat him before, but he had defeated Li Qing with just one move.

Who was stronger and who was weaker was obvious at a glance.

As the competition ended, the crowd dispersed bit by bit, leaving only Li Qingge and Zhong Yan behind.

Li Qingge stayed because she was “Enlightening.”

Zhong Yan stayed to keep guard over Li Qingge, preventing any disturbance that might force her out of her state of Enlightenment and cause her to miss this excellent opportunity.

Gan Zhong hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

Seeing Gan Zhong hadn’t left, Liang Qing asked, “Mr. Gan, why aren’t you leaving? I’ve finally won against Li Qing, let’s go celebrate.”

Gan Zhong said, “Should we tell the folks from Qingxuan University about the Talisman of Enlightenment? They seem to be taking it seriously, this student Li Qing… she won’t keep sitting there, will she?”

Liang Qing waved his hand dismissively: “Impossible, I’ve tried the Talisman before, the vision and physical sensation last at most half an hour, could she sit a whole day? Let’s go, they’ll realize something’s wrong and will return on their own.”

Gan Zhong thought about it and agreed; it was unlikely to continue Enlightening if one wasn’t achieving anything, right?

What else could it be but foolishness?

So he left assuredly with Liang Qing to celebrate.

Since it was the winter vacation, Gan Zhong and Liang Qing didn’t return to the school after celebrating.

The next day, they came back to Capital University again.

Coalitionally, the people from Qingxuan University were still there.

Li Qingge had sat in the same spot for a whole day, her hair even had dry leaves stuck in it.

Gan Zhong turned to Liang Qing, “They haven’t left yet? Don’t tell me they haven’t noticed the issue with the Enlightenment?”

Liang Qing started to panic.

At that moment, he very much resembled a child who had done something wrong and was afraid to admit it.

“It should be fine, right? Mr. Gan, why don’t you go and have a word with them?”

“I won’t go, it wasn’t my Talisman that was used.”

“Then I won’t go either.”

Liang Qing gave up outright.

On the third day, Li Qingge and her company were still there.

Gan Zhong and Liang Qing, upon seeing the dry twigs and fallen leaves on Li Qing, immediately realized the gravity of the situation as she looked like a little beggar.
