Xiang Tai continued.
"Half the battleground means you and I inscribe our runes on the same spiritual energy wall. If both sides have the same runes, the first rune inscribed will cancel out the runes inscribed later, until one side has more runes than halfway up the spiritual energy wall, and that side wins..."
After hearing Xiang Taiyan's explanation, Tuoba San understood the rule regarding this half of the country...
The first test is the amount of runes you have. If you have enough runes, you definitely have a chance to win…
The second competition is about the speed of inscribing runes. If you don't have enough runes, but you can inscribe them fast enough, as long as you can inscribe the same runes before your opponent, you can cancel out the runes your opponent hasn't finished yet...
Tuoba San was confident that he would not lose in any aspect, so he said directly.
"Then let's begin..."
Tuoba San's calm demeanor made Xiang Taiyi somewhat suspicious; he felt something was amiss...
But when he saw my nervous expression, he immediately relaxed...
He felt that Tuoba San's composure was just an act; even he, as the father, didn't have high hopes for him, so he was sure to win this time…
He scoffed inwardly, thinking, "Wait till I beat you, then let's see how you stay calm..."
He then took out a magical artifact, which looked as smooth as a wall. As soon as it appeared, the artifact immediately expanded in the wind, turning into a wall that was ten meters high and thirty meters long...
There is a line in the middle of the wall, representing the center line. The wall is entirely formed of spiritual energy; all you need to do is inscribe runes on it using your own spiritual energy…
The two stood on opposite sides of the center line, ready to begin the next rune competition...
"Wait a minute, isn't this kind of competition a bit too monotonous?"
Upon hearing my words, Xiang Tai thought that I lacked confidence in Tuoba San, which was why I tried to stop the competition...
However, he didn't take it seriously. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, this competition would continue. He had to defeat Tuoba San and trample him underfoot...
"Tuoba Wudi, what do you mean by that?"
Xiang Taiyan, barely suppressing his impatience, questioned...
boom…
Tuoba San's imposing aura instantly pressed down on Xiang Taiyan, and before he could speak, Tuoba San coldly said...
"That's my father, please be polite..."
Upon hearing this, Xiangtai's hands trembled, whether from anger or fear, it was unclear; in any case, there was a slight shaking...
His expression was like that of a wronged wife. All I did was call out your father's full name! Was it really necessary to be so rude? For a moment, he even thought Tuoba San was going to beat him up…
"Ahem... Uncle Tuoba, what are you trying to say?"
After holding it in for a long time, Xiang Taiyan finally managed to utter this sentence, which greatly disappointed the disciples who were watching the show. They thought Xiang Taiyan would get angry, but instead he backed down...
Now they can only hope that Xiang Taiyan can gain the upper hand in the rune competition, so that they can humiliate Tuoba San without restraint...
"Since it's a competition, shouldn't we have some stakes...?"
I looked on with amusement at Xiang Taiyan, who was all bark and no bite. This guy was so intimidated by Tuoba San's imposing manner that he didn't dare to lay a hand on him at all...
Now that he's convinced Tuoba San can't beat him in runes, he'll naturally continue the contest. Besides, he's received benefits from the Murong family, so if he doesn't cause Tuoba San some trouble, he'll be letting the Murong family down...
"bet?"
Xiang Tai frowned. In his mind, being given the opportunity to compete with Tuoba San was already a great honor. The fact that a wager was now required made him somewhat displeased...
However, he still patiently asked in return.
What kind of stakes do you need?
What do you think you have that would attract me?
I looked at Xiang Tai and asked him a question in return, throwing the question back at him...
This made Xiang Tai fall into deep thought. He really wanted to curse, "How the hell am I supposed to know what you're interested in?"
However, after thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"I have an opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion. I imagine that what you cultivators from remote areas most want to see are high-level cultivation techniques, right?"
"Senior Qingyunzi has granted me permission to freely enter and exit the Scripture Pavilion..."
Tuoba San's words were like a knife piercing the hearts of everyone present. These disciples had to complete tasks or exchange merits to enter the Scripture Pavilion to borrow cultivation techniques and martial arts skills. Tuoba San, who had just become a guest elder of the Qingyun Sect, could come and go as he pleased...
Everyone had the same question in their mind: Why?
They say the most deadly kind of showing off is the subtle kind, and that's exactly what happened to Tuoba San. A casual remark from him could make you want to kill him...
"Then...what should we bet on?"
It took Xiang Taiyi a long time to process this reality, but he really couldn't think of anything that would interest me or Tuoba San...
"I think physical betting is boring. Why don't the losers just run around naked in front of the Qingyun Sect's gate?"
Holy crap…
Are you the devil?
They can even come up with such a daring bet...
If they had really lost, it wouldn't have had a big impact. But now it's different. The loser will become a laughing stock in the sect after running the lap, a stain that can never be washed away for the rest of their life...
Xiang Tai's expression shifted constantly. It wasn't that he lacked confidence, but rather that the stakes were unacceptable...
Nothing is absolute; what if we lose?
"What? Are you scared? My son is waiting for you. If you're too afraid to bet, then forget it, and there's no point in continuing this competition..."
Upon hearing that the competition was over, Xiang Taiyan immediately objected. He felt that I had deliberately set an unacceptable bet for him, hoping to discourage him and cover up the fact that Tuoba San's runes were ineffective...
So he immediately shouted loudly
"I agree to the bet... I accept the wager..."
Tuoba San felt somewhat helpless, thinking that his father had a rather perverse sense of humor, but since it was others who were embarrassed, he didn't care...
"Everyone heard it. It was Xiang Taiyan who suggested the bet. No one forced him. If he loses, he'll have to run around the sect naked. You are all witnesses..."
"What a joke! How could the young master be a man of his word?"
"You really think your son can win? Dream on..."
"I've never seen a father like this before, actually wanting to see his son running laps naked..."
"I guess he's not her biological child..."
"Maybe I didn't watch it when I was a kid..."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, completely convinced that Xiangtai was destined to win…
"Alright, you can begin..."
I signaled to the two of them that they could start competing. My attitude gave Xiang Tai a bad feeling. Had he guessed wrong?
In reality, Tuoba San wasn't afraid of the competition. Was everything before just me setting a trap for him, waiting for him to fall into it?
