[No CP, No System, No Space, Inspirational Growth]
Upon waking up, Lin Xiaoman found herself transmigrated, and to a fantastical, vibrant cultivation world at that! Fortunately, she possessed...
Chapter 25 Ranking
"The first round of competition begins within one stick of incense. Draw this symbol and it will begin."
The simplicity and clarity of the style reminded Lin Xiaoman of Senior Yuan, but she didn't have time to think about it at the moment and quickly looked up.
A huge talisman was floating in the air, and she could see it very clearly. She understood what it was almost instantly. She was very familiar with it.
Speed talisman!
Lin Xiaoman quickly sat down, adjusted his internal breath, grabbed the talisman pen and began to dip it in ink to draw talismans.
She can now draw speed talismans at a stable rate of 60%, sometimes even up to 70%, but now the competition is not about the success rate of talismans, but the speed of drawing talismans, so it is a little different.
Normally, Lin Xiaoman only needs less than an incense stick to draw a speed talisman, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to draw one talisman.
It took some time to look at the talisman just now, but when she drew the talisman, the first one was unsuccessful.
The talisman paper in front of her started burning with a "pop" sound, and the sound of burning talisman paper could be heard one after another around her. For a moment, the surrounding noises became a little louder.
Lin Xiaoman did not draw the second one immediately. Instead, he adjusted his breathing, adjusted his state to the best, calmed his mind, and then picked up the talisman pen to start drawing.
I have drawn the speed talisman hundreds of times, and the feel is still there. The talisman pen moves, and it is done in one stroke. In a flash of inspiration, it is done!
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up, it worked!
She quickly looked up and saw that there was not much time left until the incense stick of time. Fortunately, fortunately!
Lin Xiaoman felt relieved. What a close call! She had originally thought it was a Speed Talisman, and that the chances of her drawing it successfully were very high. Unexpectedly...
After a while, the incense on the stage burned out and the old man spoke.
"Time's up, stop writing!"
There were sounds of wailing and relief all around, and Lin Xiaoman was among them. Those who failed to successfully draw the speed talisman disappeared with a wave of the old man's hand.
Lin Xiaoman blinked and looked at the white-haired old man with envy. If she had this ability, it would really be... Oh my God, it's so cool just thinking about it.
"Very good. There are 102 cultivators left. Next, the second round of competition will begin. Draw this talisman within the same timeframe of one stick of incense. Start now."
Lin Xiaoman took a deep breath and looked carefully, his expression changed immediately.
This is the Water Arrow Talisman!
Although she had drawn it before, her success rate was only 30%.
Hold on, hold on!
Don’t panic, don’t panic, Lin Xiaoman. If you panic, others will panic too.
Keeping his composure steady, Lin Xiaoman thought about drawing the water arrow talisman, and then began to pick up the talisman pen to draw the talisman.
The first one, poof!
The second one, poof!
The third one... After repeated failures, Lin Xiaoman didn't stop to recuperate and regain her spiritual power. Instead, she continued to draw. She now had a 30% success rate. As long as she drew four talismans within the time of an incense stick, she would succeed, right?!
However, the fourth one still failed!
Lin Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't bother to check the time, but she knew that the situation must be very tense. Moreover, she didn't have enough spiritual power left. Her cultivation level was only enough to draw 5 talismans at most. Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, this was her last chance.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaoman no longer thought about anything else and started to draw the fifth picture. Halfway through, she already felt that her spiritual power could not keep up, and she was very anxious. She must not be distracted or give up at this time.
During the competition, you can use spirit stones or elixirs to replenish your spiritual power, so the only way Lin Xiaoman can think of at the moment is to use spirit stones to replenish his spiritual power.
It sounds slow, but in fact it only took a moment. Her multitasking immediately came in handy. She took out a spirit stone from her storage bag to absorb and replenish her spiritual power. The talisman pen in her hand did not stop at all. Finally, at a certain moment, a flash of inspiration appeared and the talisman was completed!
Lin Xiaoman let out a light breath and her legs went weak. Fortunately, there was a chair to sit on, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.
Most of the spirit stones in her hand had been used up. She looked down and thought, "It was all thanks to this spirit stone."
That was close!
"Time's up, stop writing!"
This time, there were mostly wailing sounds around, and most people failed to successfully draw this water arrow talisman.
Still a group of people disappeared, and in the end only 28 people were left.
Lin Xiaoman was still using spirit stones to replenish her spiritual power at this time. She had to be fully prepared to deal with the third round of competition.
If she can successfully pass the third round of competition, she will get a reward. No matter what it is, it will be something good.
Moreover, those who pass the third round of competition will have the opportunity to enter the finals and compete for the top ten in all-around.
Originally, she was thinking about winning the first place in the Fu Xiu competition, but now she has no confidence at all and it would be good enough if she could get a ranking.
Looking at the remaining 28 people, the white-haired old man nodded, "This is the third round of competition. The first ten who draw this talisman within one stick of incense will advance."
Lin Xiaoman looked up and her face turned very ugly, because this was a talisman she had never seen before, not even in the talisman book.
She had never drawn it before, nor had she seen it before, and she wanted to draw it within the time of an incense stick. How was that possible?
No, since it has come to this, let’s do our best and leave the rest to fate!
Lin Xiaoman thought about it and looked at the talisman carefully. Although it was unfamiliar, it was not the first time that Lin Xiaoman saw unfamiliar talismans. She subconsciously began to disassemble the talisman. In this way, she found that this talisman was actually very simple, and it even had one less structure than the speed talisman.
The Speed Talisman has three structures, but this Talisman only has two structures.
Lin Xiaoman suddenly perked up, sat up straight, and began to learn to draw talismans according to his own habits.
It only requires drawing two structures, but it is not so easy for Lin Xiaoman. He slides the talisman pen in his hand quickly, drawing one stroke at a time, and soon draws a talisman, but the talisman paper is burned.
One after another, the five talismans were soon destroyed. At this time, Lin Xiaoman still had some spiritual power in her body. She quickly took out a spirit stone to absorb it and thought quickly in her mind.
She felt that this talisman should be simpler than the speed talisman, and the spiritual power required to draw it was not high, otherwise she would not have drawn five talismans and still had spiritual power.
Glancing at the incense on the table, which was already half burned, with only a small piece left, Lin Xiaoman took a deep breath and drew the talisman that he had drawn several times in his mind.
Then he picked up the pen and started drawing quickly. After finishing, Lin Xiaoman was stunned where he stood. It was done?
Is it so easy?
She actually succeeded?!
Lin Xiaoman herself didn't expect that she could draw a new talisman so quickly. Almost at the moment she finished drawing it, the talisman in front of her flew up and floated in the air.
Lin Xiaoman looked up and met the eyes of the white-haired old man.
"Yes, the ninth one."
Lin Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief. It worked, it worked, at least I got a ranking.
Lin Xiaoman laughed happily to himself and then looked at the talisman he had drawn. He didn't know what this talisman was and what its function was.
