Some people even wanted to directly remonstrate on the spot to cancel the competition, but they were all stopped by the censors led by Feng Tang.

It's a joke. This should have been their job, but since their Lord Shangguan Feng was on the side of the Junior Tutor, they could only follow suit and suppress any opposition.

Didn't you see that His Majesty and the other officials didn't say anything?

Some people harbored ill intentions and secretly prayed that Yue Fuguang would suffer a major setback this time, and that she would offend His Majesty and no longer be the most special person in the Dayan Dynasty.

Regardless of what these people thought, the competition officially began with the sound of three drumbeats.

"Little beads!"

A ripple immediately spread around Yue Fuguang, and as the protective shield rose, the lightning-attracting talisman was also activated.

Click, click!

Click, click!

Suddenly, the sound of wind and thunder came abruptly from the clear night sky. The pale purple lightning came quickly and fast, and the purple lightning, which looked like a swimming dragon, rushed towards Tai Li and the others with bared teeth and claws.

Shuyang and his companions, who prided themselves on their martial arts prowess, had no time to dodge when they saw the lightning striking them. They were immediately confronted head-on by the fierce and cool electric dragon.

Puff puff puff puff!

As if by prior arrangement, all four of them coughed up blood, and smoke rose from their heads as if incense sticks had been stuck in them.

On the other side, Moonlight's protective shield only rippled slightly, and not a single hair was missing.

She walked over to the group of people who were barely alive after being chopped down, as if nothing had happened. A smell of burnt meat wafted into their nostrils.

Zzzzz! There were even occasional flashes of electricity.

Wisps of white smoke rose from Shuyang's body. Ji Po and Wuyun were both blasted into afro. This was only because the two were women. Yue Fuguang was afraid that they would not be able to withstand the damage, so he specially asked the system to show mercy.

The worst off was Tai Li, who had already passed out. Yue Fuguang gently kicked him, but he didn't wake up.

"Little Bead, is he dead? Is there any chance I can get my bet back?"

[Master, don't worry, he's still alive. I didn't expect this guy to be so fragile. I only used ten percent of my strength, how could he be crippled?]

The ministers of the Great Yan Kingdom suddenly realized that the Little Immortal Lord and the Divine Artifact Lord had always been kind and tolerant towards them. Although they would shout that they would kill people, they had never actually laid a hand on them.

Look at the few people who were struck and are still unconscious; they say they've already behaved themselves!

The young officials, such as Feng Tang and Wu Yong, had bright, sparkling eyes as they gazed at the moonlight, shining even brighter than the stars in the sky.

Regardless of whether the others were unconscious or in a daze, Yue Fuguang waved the contract in his hand at them as if showing off, saying, "A bet is a bet, no cheating allowed."

She then looked at Bei Yue and the others, half-threatening and half-joking, and said, "Those who cheat will lose their lives!"

Just now, although they didn't have time to see how she did it before it was over, it's a fact that Tai Li and the others were struck.

The Grand Preceptor of the Great Yan Sect is no ordinary man!

They certainly didn't take her words as a joke.

Once the electric arcs on their bodies had stopped, they were carried away by their own people to receive medical treatment. Bei Yue and the others, feeling that they had lost face, also excused themselves and left the table.

Seeing that everyone opposite had left, leaving only the emperor and his ministers of Dayan, Yue Fuguang immediately feigned apology to Emperor Mingxi, saying, "Your Majesty, have I ruined your birthday banquet?"

Emperor Mingxi dared not admit it and immediately shook his head, saying, "No, no, no, today's birthday banquet is the most special one I have ever had in all these years."

"Little Bead, was I reckless just now? What if they suspect how I could attract lightning? Won't they be afraid of my abilities and want to kill me?"

The Emperor and his ministers of the Great Yan Kingdom: Could you be any more frightening? Who killed whom? We are truly wary and genuinely afraid, but why do we feel a strange sense of security when we think of the Young Master?

[Can't you say you learned from the masters at the Taoist temple?]

"None of the masters know how to summon lightning, so who can I learn from? Give me a lightning talisman; I'll need it."

"Your Majesty, that lightning just now..."

Emperor Mingxi quickly replied, "I know, you learned it at the Taoist temple. I never imagined that the Dayan Taoist school had such abilities. I have truly broadened my horizons today!"

Yue Fuguang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, actually, I didn't attract that lightning."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of something that was neither paper nor silk, made of some unknown material, from her small purse and handed it to Emperor Mingxi.

"The reason I can summon lightning is because of this lightning talisman."

Emperor Mingxi took the pale purple talisman with bright red markings on it and examined it closely. Could such a simple talisman really summon lightning?

【Master, you gave the Thunder Talisman to the Emperor, but he doesn't have immortal power and can't activate it!】

"I didn't intend for him to use it anyway. This talisman is engraved with amulet symbols, so it can be used as an amulet."

Thinking this in his heart, he said aloud, "Your Majesty, when I was in the Taoist temple, I went to play in the back mountain and happened to meet a Taoist priest who was passing by. The priest said that we were destined to meet and gave me two thunder talismans for protection."

The lightning just now was drawn down using this talisman. This is the last one. Do you want to try it?

Want to try it? Once you've tried it, the talisman will be gone, right?

Emperor Mingxi: Only a fool would try this. This is something from an immortal; it's not unreasonable for him to take it as a family heirloom of the Xie family, is it?

Emperor Mingxi immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum and said, "No, no, no need to try. Since it's the last one, of course we should save it for the crucial moment."

Until we find the Taoist priest who gave you the talisman, we'd better keep it safe.

The moonlight shimmered. "Your Majesty, the Taoist priest who gave me the talisman called himself Zhang Sanfeng, and his appearance..."

Based on the image of Zhang Sanfeng that he had seen on TV before, Yue Fuguang embellished it further and described it to the ruler and his ministers of Dayan.

Although everyone knew it was fake, they cooperated with her acting, and Wei Ping even drew a picture of the person on the spot based on her description.

You know what, Wei Ping's painting skills are indeed the result of years of honing his craft by painting fugitives.

Although it is not realistic, it is not the kind of impressionistic style that is popular nowadays. As for the Taoist priest Zhang Sanfeng in the painting, he is full of otherworldly and Taoist spirit, and has the demeanor of a hermit master even more than she imagined.

As midnight approaches, the grand feast will come to an end.

Just then, firecrackers rang out in the night sky outside the palace, creating a lively atmosphere like the Lunar New Year.

But there were few onlookers, because those who could drink were all drunk, and those who couldn't drink were all asleep!

Despite the fervent gazes of his ministers, Emperor Mingxi still failed to save the last half-bottle of wine.

Moonlight is not a drink. After instructing Emperor Mingxi to quickly help her watch over the land, she went into a deep sleep and fell asleep. The banging firecrackers outside only made her turn over.

She slept soundly in the main hall, with the system around, she wasn't afraid of anyone 'stealing her child'!

No need to get up early to see the moon's light; the next day, I slept until the sun was high in the sky before waking up.

After having brunch, she nestled in a chaise lounge by the window and reviewed yesterday's events and upcoming tasks with the system.

"System, your points are almost 30,000. Are you about to level up again?"
