The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 3: Master Lingzhi's Trouble
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Wanyan Kang glared at Gu Ping'an in anger, and felt the wound on his chest begin to ache again.

Not only him, but also the three masters who had chased for a long time but returned in disgrace and lost face in front of the young prince were all glaring with anger and stood up in unison, slamming the table.

"You little brat, you actually dare to come to my door?!"

"The three of you wait a moment."

Wanyan Honglie had not expected that everyone had already had a grudge against each other. Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, he was afraid that his flower hall would be demolished in the next second, so he hurriedly raised his hand to stop it.

"Your Highness, you don't know," Peng Lianhu explained, suppressing his anger. "My young master was competing in a duel today, but this brat took advantage of the opportunity to attack and injured my young master in public. He then took the opportunity to escape. How despicable!"

"Kang'er was hurt?" A hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in Wanyan Honglie's eyes.

He gave a wink, and someone immediately called over the attendant who was accompanying him today.

How could the servant dare to lie in front of the prince? He did not care about Wanyan Kang's face full of shame and anger, and told him everything he had seen that day.

After listening patiently, Wanyan Honglie looked at Gu Ping'an with even more admiration: "Young Master Gu is indeed a master of unique skills. Even the three masters of my palace couldn't capture you. It's true that 'heroes emerge young'!"

These words were clearly a compliment to Gu Ping'an, but to the ears of Peng Lianhu and the other two, it had a different meaning.

This was clearly a subtle criticism of the incompetence of the three of them, who, even after attacking together, couldn't even deal with a young boy.

Gu Ping'an smiled secretly in his heart, but then put on an apologetic expression and bowed to Wanyan Kanghe and the other two.

"I acted rashly this time because I am a nobody and I am afraid I cannot catch the prince's eye. I was in a desperate situation and resorted to such a desperate measure. I am sorry for any offense. I hope the young prince and the three seniors will bear with me."

Wanyan Kang was a man of deep scheming. Seeing his adoptive father's admiration expressed in his eyes, he immediately rolled his eyes and stood up.

"Brother Gu, you're joking. Winning and losing are commonplace in martial arts competitions. Holding a grudge wouldn't that make you seem petty?" He enthusiastically poured a glass of wine and brought it over. "Since you're determined to join Prince Zhao's palace, we're family, so let's not talk about the past anymore!"

His behavior showed his magnanimity, and he was courteous and not fussy about trivial matters. Wanyan Honglie nodded in praise of him.

Gu Ping'an was also happy to act along with him, showing a touched expression, and drank the wine in the glass without hesitation, acting out a good show of brotherly humility and respect.

Seeing that the prince and his son both recognized this kid, the other masters, including Peng Lianhu and Liang Ziweng, could not show their anger at this time even if they were angry. They could only flatter him and hope to teach him a lesson in the future.

[Gaining recognition from Wanyan Honglie, the Sixth Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, joining the ranks of masters of the Zhao Palace, and being rewarded with 800 Jianghu Reputation points.]

[Reputation Level Increase: Newcomer (250/500) => Emerging Prominent (1050/2000)]

[Currently available reputation value: 1050/1050]

Just as Gu Ping'an expected, fame is fame, so what's the difference between good and bad?
Isn’t that right? Ten consecutive draws will be enough, right?
The conflict has been resolved, and even if everyone has their own ulterior motives, the harmonious scene should be restored. However, there is a brainless Master Lingzhi among this group of people.

He calls himself "the master of spiritual wisdom", but in fact he has "zero IQ" and is a complete blockhead.

Wanyan Honglie was about to ask for another table of wine and food when he saw him stand up and interrupt, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have something else to say!"

"Master, what are you doing?" Wanyan Honglie's face flashed with displeasure, but he still gave him a way out. "We are all in a good mood right now. If you have anything to say, why not bring it up another day?"

Master Lingzhi was relentless, "Your Highness, don't let this brat fool you. I think the boxing he used today was just ordinary stuff, just to bully you. If it were me, I would only need three moves to show him what power is!"

This included Wanyan Kang in the curse, which made him extremely uncomfortable. However, he couldn't get angry, so he could only take a deep breath and barely suppress his anger.

An unexpected bonus? Gu Ping'an's eyes lit up. This Master Lingzhi had just exchanged blows with Wang Chuyi not long ago, and now he was seriously injured. It was as if his fame had been delivered to him for free.

Among the masters, Peng Lianhu was considered a military advisor, and he quickly advised, "Master, please don't get angry. You just suffered internal injuries while fighting that 'Iron Footed Immortal'. It's best to avoid fighting with others and focus on recuperating."

"No problem," Master Lingzhi couldn't hear the hidden meaning in the words. His mind was full of showing off in front of the prince. "It's just a little kid. I can easily deal with him."

In just a few moments, Gu Ping'an had quietly called out the system, ready to start his second round of ten consecutive draws.

[Exchange successful, consumes 1000 reputation points, and gains +10 Yunyin Bamboo Sticks]

[Current Card Pool: Show Your Talent (Novice Card Pool) (Ended) / Revenge (Permanent Card Pool)]

【Extraction/Ten consecutive extractions】

Without a moment's hesitation, choose the permanent card pool and make ten consecutive draws!
The surroundings suddenly darkened, and the light and shadows in front of my eyes changed rapidly, suddenly turning into a sea of clouds and bamboo forest.

A bamboo stick slowly appeared before my eyes, and then it turned into ten, floating in the woods out of thin air, as if with divine charm.

The bamboo sticks sway gently, and the mist lingers.

A mist quietly spread, and the entire bamboo forest was like a veil. Several human figures could be vaguely seen in the mist, some sitting cross-legged in meditation, some standing with swords in hand, in different postures, just like immortals in a painting.

In a moment, a breeze blew by, the mist dissipated, the bamboo sticks gleamed, and turned into ten cards that slowly fell to the ground.

Ten cards, one orange, one purple, two blue, and the rest are green.

After the special effects ended, the scene in front of Gu Ping'an returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

[Hey, you're quite interesting, kid. Come and play with the old naughty boy!]

[Obtained Orange Top-Quality Card: Zhou Botong]

【Martial Arts Distributing】

[Congratulations on winning: "Left and Right Fight" (Realm: Reaching the Pinnacle)]

Another masterpiece? So European?

Gu Ping'an was pleasantly surprised. In terms of rarity, "Left and Right Fighting" was much higher than "Taizu Changquan". When he drew more and more cards to obtain unique skills in the future, maybe it would have a miraculous effect.

As for the purple card, it was a "Li Mochou" card, and she randomly got her self-created acupressure kung fu "Three No's and Three No's".

The remaining two blue and six green cards were all internal strength cultivation cards, which together provided a total of one and a half years of hard training in internal strength. Judging from his current level of skill, this could be considered a substantial improvement.

One shot, ten hits, a rich harvest.

Everyone at the table was still trying to persuade him, but Master Lingzhi was determined to take action and didn't notice that Wanyan Honglie's face was getting darker and darker.

With a thought, Gu Pingan shut down the system and saluted Wanyan Honglie. "Master, if you are willing to teach me martial arts, I have no reason to refuse your kindness. I hope Your Highness will not be offended by this."

"It's inevitable that a martial arts expert will have some obsessions. If you continue to interfere, it will make me seem like I'm meddling. Well, let it go."
