Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Chapter 443: Group fight against old students! We have the advantage!

A corner of Shikien Garden.

Dozens of freshmen slumped on the ground, their clothes torn, their hair disheveled, and the atmosphere was depressing.

The most eye-catching thing is the ugly turtles painted on their faces with special ink.

They looked at the fierce battle in the distance with thunder swords, muskets, space distortion, sword formations and cannon lights, their eyes filled with both amazement and a bit of dejection.

“Oh, comparing yourself to others makes you feel so depressed…” sighed a freshman with a turtle shell painted on his face.

"We're just here to make up the numbers, right?" Another freshman, whose face was painted as a bespectacled turtle, buried his face in his knees and said in a muffled voice, "We were knocked down in one blow, with no chance of fighting back."

The Jixia Academy is so scary... He wants to go home to find his mother.

Suddenly, a somewhat vague female voice came from beside the freshmen:

"You guys...are not going to give up just like that?"

The freshmen subconsciously turned their heads away, mumbling, "What's the point of not admitting defeat? We can't win anyway..."

But soon, everyone was stunned.

Because the person who made the sound had his entire face covered with all kinds of talismans, his face could not be seen at all.

Rong Shu raised his hands and carefully pushed the talismans on his face apart. From the gap, a pair of clear and bright eyes appeared.

"Rong, Rong Shu?!" The freshmen recognized the person.

In other words, there is no way they wouldn't recognize this face.

The champion of the Heroes Conference who surpassed his peers and ascended to the Tianjiao Tower to leave his name - Rong Shu!

"Shh~" Rong Shu lowered his voice: "Be quiet!"

Relying on the formations and talismans on her body, she was able to sneak in quietly. Now is not the time for her to reveal her whereabouts.

She asked the same question again: "Are you willing to just sit there and watch Lu Zhuo and the others show off and steal the show? Do you want to avenge your previous humiliation and have another go at fighting the old students?"

"what?"

The freshmen were confused, with turtles on their faces and dull expressions.

"B-Can I? Haven't we already... given up?"

They were all defeated and admitted defeat.

Can we fight again?

"Who says you can't?" Rong Shu asked confidently, "Isn't it written in black and white in the rules of the Jixia Academy that after being beaten once, you can't regroup and fight again?"

"You must remember that failure is not terrible. What is terrible is not having the courage to face difficulties!"

She stretched out a finger with the "Hidden Talisman" on it and pointed at them one by one:

"Look, you've all been drawn turtles once, and you've already lost face once. So even if you lose a second time, it's nothing more than being drawn turtles again. One more time isn't much, one less time isn't much. Anyway, it's already like this, so what's there to be afraid of? If you win, you'll make a lot of money, and if you lose, you won't lose anything!"

"Don't you want to draw turtles on the faces of the senior students?"

"According to the rules set by the seniors, the loser will be drawn as a turtle. If you defeat the seniors, you can draw a turtle for them."

Freshmen: …Wow! It’s even possible!!!

This, this logic... is simply rogue!

But it sounds... like it can't be refuted?

"It seems... that there is some truth to it?" A freshman subconsciously touched the ink on his face, and the resentment in his heart was completely aroused.

Yes, the most embarrassing thing has already happened, what else do they have to lose?

"But, but is this... really okay? Isn't it a bit... unsportsmanlike? An unfair victory?" Some freshmen had a higher moral bottom line and were struggling in their hearts, even their ink-smeared faces turned red.

Rong Shu looked at the group of freshmen in front of him. They all had turtle faces and their eyes seemed to reveal some kind of clear stupidity. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

They are all a group of "good babies" who are too well protected by their elders.

But it’s right to think about it.

These freshmen are considered the most outstanding juniors in their respective families and sects. They are treated like the apple of their eyes and are required to walk on a bright and open road.

Before this, I had never experienced the "beatings" of society, nor had I felt the "dangers" of society.

"We have used up all our Spirit Gathering Pills, and it won't be that fast to recover our spiritual energy..." a freshman whispered.

Otherwise, they would not admit defeat.

As long as there is still a Spirit Gathering Pill, with their pride, they will never admit defeat... Well, at most they can hold on for another quarter of an hour, and then admit defeat when the spiritual energy is completely used up.

"Oh! A trifle!"

Rong Shu was very "considerate". With a wave of his hand, dozens of bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills appeared in front of everyone.

"Come on, come on, one bottle per person, plenty of Spirit Gathering Pills! Of course..." She changed the subject, her eyes widening with smile, "These are all on credit, and I'll pay you the market price in spirit stones later~"

Before the freshmen could react, she turned around and, as if by magic, pulled out two thick stacks of talismans, roughly estimated to contain five or six hundred pieces.

"I'll give you a few more talismans on credit as a courtesy." Rong Shu distributed all the talismans like he was handing out candies to children.

While dividing, he also explained:

"Explosive Talisman, explosion is art! Throwing the Explosive Talisman at close range will have the best effect!"

"The lightning talisman can throw out lightning, and also has a paralyzing effect!"

"The Stinky Talisman, uh... it emits a strange, stinky sound, and can be used to disrupt the opponent's breathing!"

"Put the Wind Talisman on your legs and run incredibly fast!"

"The Fart Escape Talisman has the same effect as the Wind Travel Talisman, but has a side effect similar to the Stinky Talisman."

"Smoke Talisman, create a large fog to disrupt the opponent's vision!"

"The Eye-Clearing Talisman can be used in conjunction with the Smoke Talisman. It can help you see the direction clearly even in the rolling fog."

"Lion's Roar Talisman, uses sound waves to disrupt the opponent... well, it's also really powerful for cursing people!"

"Also, there's the jumping charm that makes people lose control of their limbs, and the embarrassing charm that makes them expose their embarrassing moments in public..."

"...Anyway, there are all kinds of talismans here, there must be one suitable for ambush... No, suitable for our current pack of wolves tactics!"

Rong Shu quickly divided the freshmen into two teams: "Team One, specifically responsible for throwing disruptive talismans, do whatever disgusting things you can! Team Two, responsible for using powerful talismans, get the chance to bombard! Explode!!"

"Our goal is—" Rong Shu lowered his voice, but with great incitement, "to gang up on the old man who drew the turtle!"

The freshmen were stunned by Rong Shu's "generosity".

Taking out hundreds of talismans at once, just to smash them for fun?

If they were such spendthrifts, no matter how much their father/master loved them, they would have to be rewarded with a meal of "stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork".

"This talisman... is it very expensive?"

Forget about the pills, they can still afford the spirit stones.

But with so many talismans, if they can't pay back the money, they will inevitably ask their family/master for spirit stones to repay the debt.

"Well, these talismans aren't just for one person. There are fifty of you, and each of you would only need ten at most. Do the spirit stones costing ten talismans really mean that much to you?"

Not much, really not much.

After hearing this, the freshmen stopped worrying about it.

Right now, getting back my position is the most important thing! I can return the spirit stones anytime!

"...But, are we going to have a group fight? Is that really okay..."

"What's wrong with that?" Rong Shu raised an eyebrow, his tone righteous and confident: "The old man lured us all to Zigui Garden one by one, and then caught us in a trap. Isn't that too much? He's so old, not only is he disrespectful, he's also bullying the weak!"

"Since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust! What goes around comes around!"

Some freshmen hesitated to speak, feeling that the meaning and context of the phrase "If they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust" didn't quite apply to the current situation...

But on second thought, there was a strange sense of fit.

Rong Shu continued to boost morale: "Besides! Think about it carefully. The reason the seniors went to such great lengths to lure us here in batches is because they're afraid that if we all unite, they won't be able to defeat us!"

"What does this mean? It means they're guilty! It means they're just afraid of us getting in a fight!"

"So, we don't have to be timid!" Rong Shu waved his hand with great momentum: "The old students' cultivation has been suppressed to the late Nascent Soul stage, which is the same realm as us!"

"There are fifty of us against five of them. We have the advantage!"

Instigated by Rong Shu's fallacies and heresies, the frustration and hesitation on the faces of the freshmen were gradually replaced by an excited look of giving up everything.

Everyone is eager to try.

I've already embarrassed myself once! How can it be more embarrassing?

If you win, you can draw a turtle for the old man and avenge your previous humiliation.

If I lose, the worst that can happen is I’ll be drawn as a turtle again, no matter what!

Do it to his uncle!

"Shame before the snow!"

"It's time to let the seniors experience what it's like to have turtles painted on their faces!"

The freshmen swallowed the Spirit Gathering Pills bought on credit one after another to speed up the recovery of the spiritual energy in their bodies.

Rong Shu reminded everyone: "Senior Brother Lu Chi did not participate in the battle from beginning to end, so there is no need to provoke him, and the flock of little sparrows he fed."

"As for Senior Brother Xuanheng's fight, we can't interfere, so we don't need to pay attention to it for now. We just need to focus on 'taking care' of Senior Sister Yunshu, Senior Sister Tianzhu, and Senior Brother Digang, and let them experience the charm of a group fight!"

"Remember, when dealing with Senior Sister Yun Shu, don't engage in close combat with her. Keep your distance as much as possible and use long-range attacks."

"Although Senior Sister Tianzhu's puppets are powerful, the space in Zigui Garden is too small to release too many puppets. What we need to do is to capture the leader first. We should focus our attack on Senior Sister Tianzhu and knock her out from under the puppets!"

"And Senior Brother Di Gang, we can't confront him head-on. Senior Brother Di Gang doesn't have much patience. Use some Stinky Talismans and Smoke Talismans to mess with his mentality..."

The information about the senior students was provided by Duan Yuyan.

In view of their different personalities, weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses... Rong Shu formulated different tactics.

By the time the analysis was completed, the spiritual energy in the freshmen's bodies had almost recovered.

A group of freshmen with ink-stained turtles on their faces rushed out from the corner, howling as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

The next second, all kinds of talismans flashed and smashed towards Yun Shu and the other two!

Explosions, thunder and lightning, stench, fog, harsh noises... instantly overwhelmed Yun Shu and the other two.

"Huh? What is this?! Ugh—"

"...Why are these newborns here? Didn't they admit defeat?!"

"Damn it! Which little bastard was using the Lion's Roar Talisman to sneakily curse me? Stand up! I promise I'll beat you to death!"

Yun Shu's vision was suddenly blocked by smoke, which had the effect of interfering with spiritual detection. For a moment, she really couldn't find the direction.

Di Gang accidentally inhaled several mouthfuls of the stench emitted by the stinky talisman, which choked him and made him cough and retch.

Tianzhu's ears were buzzing from the lightning and blasting talismans, and he was forced to activate the puppet's protective state to protect himself.

The pressure on Feng Qianli and Lu Zhuo suddenly decreased.

Lu Zhuo reacted the fastest, realizing that Rong Shu had started to take action. His excitement was evident in his words: "Well done! That's right! Quickly use the Stinky Talisman to smoke her out! And that big guy, hit him with the Explosive Talisman!"

Seeing that the attack was effective, the freshmen threw the talismans even more happily.

The realms of several veterans were suppressed, and many of their methods were unable to be used.

Faced with this disorganized and overwhelming "wolf pack tactics", they were caught off guard and were really in a mess.

Di Gang cursed, "Why are there so many talismans... Which little turtle is responsible for this?"

"Come again! My face has been fried black!" Tianzhu complained dissatisfiedly. She covered her face with her sleeves, took off her glasses and wiped the black dust on the lenses.

Rong Shu put his hands behind his back, hiding his achievements and fame.

In a blink of an eye, Rong Shu found Xing Xue who was regulating her breathing in the corner.

Xing Xue refused to admit defeat and persisted in fighting the longest.

Even though Yun Shu and the others were careful with their actions, Xing Xue still inevitably had several more scars on her body.

Rong Shu didn't exchange many pleasantries and got straight to the point: "Senior Sister Xing Xue, how is your recovery? Do you still have the energy to fight?"

She also learned from Duan Yuyan that Xing Xue was obsessed with martial arts and was reluctant to refuse such a good opportunity as fighting.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xing Xue's eyes lit up: "I can still fight!"

"Okay then." Rong Shu nodded.

"Senior Sister Xing Xue, please go help Lu Zhuo. It's very difficult for him to handle two old students alone."

"no problem!"

Just as Xing Xue was about to charge with her sword, Rong Shu stopped her, "Senior Sister Xing Xue, bring the Eyesight Clearing Talisman, the Heart Cleansing Talisman, and the Dust Purifying Talisman. They will block out the interference of odors and noise."

"Okay, thank you. I'll return the spirit stones to you later." The spirit stones that Xing Xue had on her were all crushed into powder after she had absorbed all the spiritual energy in the previous battle. Not a single piece was left.

Rong Shu, however, shook his head and said, "No need. Just consider it as making friends with Senior Sister Xing Xue."

Xing Xue was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, thank you, you can just call me 'Xing Xue', you're welcome."

"I'll go first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him disappeared like a gust of wind.

Rong Shu blinked slowly.

Xing Xue was born with an icy beauty face, and she had a cold and distant aura that kept people at a distance. As a result, she had always been a loner in Wenxin Academy. If it weren't for her strong and tenacious combat power, which always ranked first on the Nascent Soul level combat power list, few people would know her.

Unexpectedly, Xing Xue's true character in private is so straightforward and honest.
