Lin Beifan seemed to completely overlook the anger in Luo Tianjun's eyes and smiled, saying, "It seems that Brother Luo is still in good spirits. Let's continue then. I still have a few talismans here to try!"
With a snap, Lin Beifan opened the talismans in his hand like playing cards, and there were actually over a hundred of them.
Feeling the dangerous aura emanating from the talismans in the opponent's hand, Luo Tian's face changed drastically.
The previous few rounds of attacks had already taken half of his life. If he continued to fight, wouldn't he lose the other half as well?
Although he also had a trump card to ensure his survival, it was only to be used in a life-or-death situation.
Using it now in a mere verbal battle would be a waste.
"Brother Lin, please wait a moment!" Luo Tianjun anxiously said.
"What's wrong, Brother Luo? Are you a bit impatient and want to test my new talismans?" Lin Beifan had a faint smile on his face. "Brother Luo, there's no need to rush. I will definitely satisfy your request!"
"No, no, you misunderstood me. It's me..." Luo Tianjun let out a sigh, his voice bitter. "I concede! In this verbal battle, I, Luo Tianjun, concede!"
After saying that, he collapsed weakly, lying on the chaotic dueling ground, gasping for breath.
Although this was just a verbal battle, it was still extremely difficult for him to utter the words of surrender. He had always been competitive in his life and had never conceded before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to sacrifice himself in the previous life.
But now, he chose to concede.
Continuing to fight would only cause him more harm, while the other party would at most lose some talismans. He didn't want to waste any more time on this meaningless matter.
Of course, if it were a face-to-face duel, he would never concede even if he were killed.
Around him, when Luo Tianjun uttered the words of surrender, the people around him were shocked.
"Luo Tianjun actually conceded? The renowned genius of swordsmanship actually conceded, how is that possible?"
"Faced with this kind of relentless bombardment that can only be defended against and not attacked, even I would concede! There's no point in continuing!"
"Why can't he concede? It's just a verbal battle, Luo Tianjun can't fully display his strength from the beginning, it's unfair!"
"A battle of words, if I lose, then I lose. But Luo Tianjun is still the unparalleled genius in my heart!"
"If Lin Beifan were to confront him head-on, the spiritual talisman might not have even been thrown yet, and he would already be in pieces!"
"Don't think too much, it's just a battle of words!"
...
Many people expressed understanding about this.
Outside the arena, Lin Weiwei saw her brother win and rushed in excitedly, hugging Lin Beifan tightly. "Brother, you won! That's amazing, you defeated the sword genius Luo Tianjun!"
"Weiwei, it's just basic skills, no need to get so excited," Lin Beifan comforted softly.
"But you really won!" Lin Weiwei remained excited.
Seeing this scene, Luo Tianjun felt a deep sense of sadness.
Losing the duel and seeing his beloved person throw herself into someone else's arms, it was a double blow, my heart hurts so much!
Lin Beifan let go of Lin Weiwei and felt unsatisfied. "Brother Luo, you fought well, why did you give up? Come on, I still have many spiritual talismans left unused, hold on a little longer!"
Luo Tianjun rolled his eyes, I must be crazy to seek abuse now.
Witnessing the power of these spiritual talismans and experiencing Lin Beifan's cunning, coupled with his injuries all over, he didn't want to continue playing.
"Brother Lin, there's really no need, I, Luo Tianjun, am willing to acknowledge you as the strongest!" Luo Tianjun gave a thumbs up and took out a pill from his spatial ring, placing it in his mouth. His body finally recovered a bit.
It would probably take another half a month of recuperation to fully recover.
However, half a month was a long time. He was currently in a period of rapid progress, improving every day. How much progress would he lose in half a month?
Luo Tianjun felt that he had suffered a great loss and regretted it. If he had known, he wouldn't have proposed this battle, losing both his wife and soldiers.
"So, Brother Luo, do you admit that my spiritual talisman is genuine and worth this price?" Lin Beifan asked again.
"Brother Lin, your spiritual talisman is indeed powerful. Although it is only a Rank Three talisman, its power is equivalent to a Level 6. It is only natural to sell it at a higher price!" As a strong cultivator, Luo Tianjun disdained lying.
"According to our agreement, shouldn't you compensate me tenfold for my losses now?"
Luo Tianjun's face stiffened.
Lin Beifan rubbed his hands together, with a smiling face like a shrewd merchant. "Just now, I used a total of 108 Rank Three talismans, let's say 100.
Based on the original price of 1000 spiritual coins per talisman, the total is 100,000 spiritual coins.
If we multiply that by ten, it would be a total of 1 million spiritual coins."
Lin Beifan extended his right hand with a smiling face. "Brother Luo, thank you!"
Luo Tianjun's face turned black.
"Why don't you go rob for 1 million spiritual coins?"
"Oh right, Luo Tianjun, you still owe my brother Fan 1 million spiritual coins!" Lin Weiwei also remembered this agreement and then extended her delicate little hand, excitedly saying, "Quickly hand over the money to me!"
Luo Tianjun: "..."
"If you dare to break the agreement, I will spread this matter and say that you, the esteemed sword cultivator Luo Tianjun, are an untrustworthy person!" Lin Weiwei threatened.
Lin Beifan rubbed Lin Weiwei's head forcefully, not expecting this little girl to be so cunning.
But, I like it!
Luo Tianjun's face changed once again. He could ignore the debt, but he couldn't lose face.
He showed a smile uglier than crying. "1 million spiritual coins is too much. Can you give me a few more days? You know I come from an ordinary family..."
"Damn it, ordinary family my a**! Just now, when you challenged me, you were full of confidence. How come you don't consider yourself an ordinary person now? It's only right to repay your debts! Give me the money immediately, not a penny less!" Lin Beifan immediately changed his attitude.
Luo Tianjun's face turned green, and the combination of black and green was particularly vivid.
"Fine, fine, fine. It's just spiritual coins, right? I'll give them to you!"
Luo Tianjun was both embarrassed and angry. He waved his hand, and a pile of spirit coins appeared on the ground, emitting a powerful spiritual energy.
These spirit coins are crystallized spiritual energy, originating from the spiritual veins within the mountains. They have the effect of assisting in cultivation.
When this pile of spirit coins appeared, it created a significant impact.
However, Lin Beifan just glanced at it lightly and said, "There are only 320,000 spirit coins in total, still lacking 680,000. Not enough!"
"I only have this much!" Luo Tianjun fell silent.
"You can use other resources to offset the debt, such as the spatial ring on your hand."
The spatial ring is a very rare storage item that even smaller families may not possess, and even with money, it may not be purchasable. For someone like Luo Tianjun, a commoner, to possess such an item, he must have had some good fortune.
"I can't give you the spatial ring, so how about these?" Luo Tianjun said painfully. He waved his hand again, and several huge Demonic Beast corpses appeared on the ground.
These were all beasts that he had painstakingly killed, with two of them being the result of a near-death experience. He had originally kept them for a greater purpose, but now they could only benefit his rival.
Lin Beifan looked over, his eyes shining brightly.
These Demonic Beasts were all at the 9th rank, with an average value of 100,000 spirit coins each. There were a total of seven here, more than enough to repay the debt.
For him, these Demonic Beasts held even greater value.
Their flesh was not only delicious but also enhanced the body's strength and replenished the qi and blood within.
By skinning them and processing their hides, he could make high-level spirit talismans. With the large size of these seven Demonic Beasts, there was enough hide to make over ten thousand high-level spirit talismans, all of them at the 9th rank.
Can you imagine how attractive this is to him?
Carrying over ten thousand Rank Nine spirit talismans, he could blast anyone who dared to challenge him, even the strong in the Transcendent Realm would have to kneel.
For Lin Beifan, the value of these seven Demonic Beasts far exceeded one million spirit coins.
