"That was way too fast..."
Liao Fanghao, who had been secretly observing from the side, showed a hint of admiration and amazement on his face.
The previous jade slips were nothing special, but after the tenth jade slip, it involved the practical application of runes, which was naturally several times more complicated.
But looking at Lin Xiuyuan, he completed each jade slip trial in just a few breaths!
He had been pondering the thirteenth jade slip for almost half an hour, and estimated that it would take another half an hour, or even longer, to pass the trial. He felt that he probably wouldn't be able to continue after one or two more trials at most.
But Lin Xiuyuan was so fast; in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the eleventh jade slip...
This demonstrates Lin Xiuyuan's mastery of talismanic arts...
"Even among the top talents of the main peak, there are differences!"
"Could it be that we can really pass through more than twenty jade slips directly? Or even go to the second level of the Trial Tower?"
Liao Fanghao could not hide his surprise.
Seeing that Lin Xiuyuan was almost in front of his jade slip, he quickly put his hand down and took a step back.
A few breaths later.
Lin Xiuyuan strolled over and, upon seeing Liao Fanghao's actions, offered a friendly smile before placing his hand in front of him.
Liao Fanghao quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was alright, and then quietly watched Lin Xiuyuan's actions, a strange and complicated expression flashing across his face.
As expected, after a few more breaths, Lin Xiuyuan put down his hand and walked towards the fourteenth jade slip trial.
Seeing this, Liao Fanghao's complex expression deepened.
It's like comparing yourself to others and feeling utterly miserable!
"Truly a prodigy! Alas, I thought that after entering the main peak, my path would be bright, and I would one day compete with all the heroes. But I never expected that there are so many geniuses, and so many prodigies in every generation!"
After passing the fifteenth jade slip, Lin Xiuyuan's pace slowed down slightly. It wasn't that the jade slip trials were too difficult for him, but the subsequent trials all involved various runes and spirit patterns. Although they were basic, their complexity had increased significantly, making the trials slower.
But sometimes, Lin Xiuyuan would deliberately stop and stand in front of a certain jade slip trial for a full quarter of an hour.
Naturally, with Lin Xiuyuan's mastery of talismanic arts, the first level was not difficult for him. However, he discovered some new and mysterious changes, which made him carefully comprehend them.
In the end, Lin Xiuyuan spent less than 15 minutes on the first floor before passing all the jade slip trials, which meant he had earned 500 contribution points.
This made Lin Xiuyuan's lips curl into a smile. He had been lacking resources for cultivation lately and was quite afraid of poverty. Five hundred contribution points wasn't much, but it could alleviate his current predicament.
Moreover, this next second layer...
"With my current mastery of talismanic arts, I should be able to pass this second level? That would mean another thousand contribution points!"
Lin Xiuyuan felt a mix of anticipation and excitement, both for the contribution points and for the upcoming jade slip trial.
However, when Lin Xiuyuan reached the stairs, he paused, looked back at Liao Fanghao, and noticed the barely suppressed shock on the other's face. He smiled slightly, cupped his hands in greeting, and then turned to walk towards the stairs.
"At most, it shouldn't have taken more than a quarter of an hour... and you've already cleared the first level? Are you kidding me? I've been sitting in front of this thirteenth jade slip for almost an hour!!"
"Are we sure we entered the main peak at the same time?"
For a moment, Liao Fanghao's face was filled with shock. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "With such terrifying combat power and such monstrous talent in talisman cultivation! It seems that this person might become a monstrous talent on the same level as Senior Sister Wang? Or even a strong contender for the chief position?"
Liao Fanghao turned his head, looked at the thirteenth jade slip trial in front of him, his expression complex and inscrutable. He then turned and left without hesitation, muttering, "I'd better go back and cultivate for a few years before coming back. This is so embarrassing!"
...
The second floor is much larger.
The number of jade slips also increased significantly, reaching approximately thirty to forty.
There are approximately twenty disciples of the Lingxiao Sect attempting to pass the jade slip trial.
It must be a disciple of Lingxiao from the last two or three periods, otherwise they wouldn't still be on the second level.
After Lin Xiuyuan arrived, most people were engrossed in the trials on the jade slips, only paying attention to a few things.
Those people had only glanced around casually to see who had arrived.
But after that first glance, I couldn't help but glance at it a second time...
Then, a look of surprise appeared in their eyes, and their gazes converged on Lin Xiuyuan!
They all entered the main peak in recent years, unlike the older disciples whose mastery of talismanic arts had already reached a certain level and who only occasionally went to the Lingxiao Dojo to attend classes. They were almost always present at every event.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan, this "influential figure," is naturally not unfamiliar to them.
Upon seeing Lin Xiuyuan arrive on the second floor, they were quite shocked.
What this signifies is self-evident...
