Although he possesses a talent for talismanic arts, he has already gained such a great reputation among the newcomers, and has even broken through the newcomer stage to directly participate in the challenge.
Undoubtedly, this challenge was the most eye-catching battle ever!
As soon as the steward announced the start of the competition, all eyes immediately turned to them.
"One of them is a prodigy from the Yunxiao lineage. He has been exceptionally talented since childhood and was recruited into the main peak. He has been practicing the Yunxiao lineage's inherited true techniques for many years. His combat strength in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage is not to be underestimated. Among the disciples of the four lineages, he has few rivals in the same realm."
"The other side is the most outstanding prodigy of the Lingxiao lineage in recent years. I wonder who will win? I think it will most likely be Senior Brother Wang. After all, he is almost a senior disciple and a young prodigy of the Yunxiao lineage. His combat strength is amazing."
"It's hard to say. Although our Junior Brother Lin is a newly promoted disciple, he was promoted through the fierce battles of the Nine Heavens Mountain Competition. He is also a formidable person who withstood the Heavenly Thunder Pearl. His combat strength is naturally among the top in the same realm!"
"Moreover, he has only been on the main peak for a short time, yet he has already displayed a monstrous talent in the art of talismans. He must already be proficient in making various secret talismans. He has been preparing for many years and has accumulated quite a few talismans. Coupled with his own cultivation and combat strength, he is no ordinary person."
"Hehe, I think that although your junior brother Lin from the Lingxiao lineage has considerable combat power, his cultivation is lacking. Not to mention, the two sides have fundamentally different inherited true methods. So what if he has monstrous talent? So what if his secret talismans are powerful? In the end, they are just the way of talismans!"
"At the Foundation Establishment stage, the power of talismans is inherently inferior to that of Daoist techniques and secret arts, not to mention that Junior Brother Wang cultivates the true methods inherited from the Yunxiao lineage, which excels in combat, and his cultivation level is also a notch higher..."
"…………"
Amidst the murmurs of discussion, the nearly one hundred arenas began to emanate waves of spiritual energy, and for a moment, a dazzling array of colors flashed, exuding a captivating yet dangerous aura.
Looking at it from afar, it was like fireworks exploding on flat ground, opening the prelude to the blossoming of countless Taoist magic and secret techniques.
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan's thoughts disappeared, his mind gradually became clear, free of distractions, and his entire being slowly tensed up, his senses becoming extremely sharp and sensitive.
"Since it's unavoidable, let's take it one step at a time! I've been preparing for a long time, and if there are any unavoidable means, I'm still fairly confident in my ability to save my life, especially since there's an elder acting as a referee."
Upon realizing this, Lin Xiuyuan casually waved his hand, and several dark white talismans shot out, landing in mid-air and exploding violently. It was as if beams of white light shot out from them, appearing pure white under the sunlight, and scattered around.
Then the beams of light suddenly contracted, and as they converged, they gradually formed several dazzling clusters of light in mid-air.
Immediately, one could see that from that dazzling ball of light, invisible beams of light seemed to converge, absorbing a vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, forming a wriggling yet crystal-clear spiritual power that gradually spread out, covering an area of half a zhang in radius around the dazzling ball of light.
The vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth was attracted and continuously gathered. The restless and outward-extending spiritual power gradually solidified and eventually formed a transparent shape, like a mirror without any impurities.
Reflected by the sunlight, it emitted a dazzling light.
Within two or three breaths, five hexagonal ice surfaces, each about half a zhang in size and several inches thick, appeared in mid-air.
Reflecting blinding light, it stood tall in front of Lin Xiuyuan, forming an unbreakable barrier!
After activating five Heavenly Ice Spirit Talismans, Lin Xiuyuan immediately unleashed the 'Spirit Armor Technique,' forming hand seals as his internal magical power surged rapidly.
Gradually, a blue light began to emanate from around Lin Xiuyuan, and a powerful aura of spiritual energy spread out.
At this moment.
Just as Lin Xiuyuan activated the Heavenly Ice Spirit Talisman first, and then used the Spirit Armor Technique to construct a double defensive barrier.
Wang An naturally wouldn't wait for Lin Xiuyuan to finish setting things up. He immediately took action. As soon as the Heavenly Ice Spirit Talisman was activated, he casually waved his hand, and beams of light shot out.
This time, under Han Chenhua's instructions, they came to challenge Lin Xiuyuan and look for an opportunity to kill him.
All external resources were prepared thoroughly, even to the point of being excessive.
If it weren't for the rules, there would be more than ten or twenty spirit beasts appearing right now, and they might even have taken out a few Heavenly Thunder Pearls.
Naturally, one can imagine the extent to which preparations would be made for all kinds of external things within the rules.
Although the power of Taoist magic and secret techniques is greater in the Foundation Establishment stage, unlike the Qi Refining stage where the power of low-level spells is weak, slow to activate, and can only be activated a few times, thus talismans are more effective.
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the vast amount of magical power at play allows for the faster activation of Daoist techniques and secret arts. Naturally, supported by this abundant magical power, the power of these spells becomes even greater. Not to mention the powerful magical artifacts; as the term "law" implies, these artifacts naturally possess profound and mysterious effects.
However, the formation of powerful spells always takes several breaths. Ordinary spells, though they can be cast instantly, are basically useless against such combat power.
Unless one possesses a magical artifact or has mastered a powerful sword technique, this deficiency can not be compensated for. And naturally, there are also many sword techniques within the Cloud Soaring Daoist arts.
However, it was obvious that Wang Anbi was not good at using sword techniques, otherwise, sword lights would probably have been shooting out first. As for magic weapons... he certainly had them!
In short, talismans can replace this, requiring only magical power to activate and quickly unleash their power. They are extremely useful for cultivators who do not possess powerful magical artifacts or who do not specialize in sword techniques.
Whether it's seizing the initiative in battle, taking the enemy by surprise, or assisting in combat, it's an indispensable combat tactic.
