Ruoruo looked at him angrily: "You're not allowed to talk nonsense about Fourth Brother! He said he'd be promoted to the next class with me!"
"Anyone can brag, only fools would believe it." Zi Manqing suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Mo Jinyan to the side: "Oh, I almost forgot, now there's another piece of trash who can't even transform into human form."
"It's understandable that you like to brag; after all, apart from Mo Yunlan whose bloodline is pure, the rest of you are all bastards. You want to ascend? What a joke!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Having insulted all her brothers and sisters, Mo Xuan Shuang instantly lost her temper, pounced over, and slapped down hard with her paw.
Ruoruo the cat followed closely behind with a tense little face.
With agile movements, Zi Manqing leaped backward to dodge Mo Xuanshuang's attack. While still in mid-air, she shot out a talisman from her fingertip.
"It's a tribulation talisman! Get out of the way!" Mo Jinyan recognized the talisman and shouted loudly.
Mo Xuanshuang had no time to react, and Ruoruo wouldn't abandon Mo Xuanshuang and run away on her own. She stepped on Mo Xuanshuang's head and leaped into the air.
Then, he transformed into human form in mid-air, holding a talisman, and struck it with his palm against the talisman shot out by the girl in purple.
"Bang!" The hurricane and lightning collided directly in mid-air, creating a spiritual energy explosion that overturned all the surrounding tables, cushions, and small nests.
Mo Xuanshuang grabbed Ruoruo's clothes and flung them around, trapping Ruoruo under her belly and pressing her down.
People and animals around kept their distance to avoid being drawn into the fight.
"Is Ruoruo alright?" Mo Jinyan flapped his wings and landed on Ruoruo's shoulder.
"How could I let anything happen to Ruoruo!" Mo Xuanshuang protected Ruoruo very well, and not even a piece of Ruoruo's clothes was burned.
Ruoruo tenderly stroked the scorched fur on Mo Xuanshuang's back: "Fourth Brother, Ruoruo has defensive talismans carved by Eldest Brother on her clothes, so she won't get hurt."
After Ruoruo transformed into a human to refine pills last time, Mo Wuyu engraved talismans on all of Ruoruo's clothes. This way, she could wear them directly when she transformed and they would also protect her, as this little bit of spiritual energy damage could not hurt her at all.
This is why Ruoruo dared to transform into human form and directly strike with the talisman in hand.
After all, she hadn't learned how to use talismans, so she could only use the clumsy method of striking with her spiritual power.
Mo Xuanshuang picked up Ruoruo and pushed her aside: "Stand at the back. I promised my father I would protect you."
He bit out a talisman, his tiger-like eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "If you want to fight, come up to the challenge stage."
Ruoruo recalled how she had led Mo Xuanshuang around in circles in the woods before, and she was still worried: "I..."
"Ruo Ruo, step back." Mo Jinyan said seriously, "That guy Mo Xuanshuang is getting serious."
The little white tiger in front was completely different from its usual silly appearance. Ruoruo clenched her fists and mumbled an "Mmm".
Zi Manqing clutched her burned right hand, glaring fiercely at Yan Ruoruo: "You piece of trash, weren't you very powerful when you were fighting me with talismans? What, now all you know is to hide behind another piece of trash?"
How dare they hurt her hand! Unforgivable!
She came to the academy to prove to her father that her talent was the best and that she could trample the geniuses of the immortal realm under her feet. But now she has actually lost her first battle.
How could that be! She would never lose to these worthless bastards!
"My brother is not a good-for-nothing!"
"If Ruoruo weren't a piece of trash!"
Ruoruo and Mo Xuanshuang shouted this sentence at the same time.
The woman and the tiger stared at each other for a moment. Mo Xuanshuang then bit down on the talisman in her mouth, and hundreds of sharp swords materialized out of thin air, directly piercing towards the girl in purple.
A black snake's tail appeared out of nowhere, blocking Zi Manqing's path. A dark barrier spread out from the tip of the tail, blocking all the sharp swords.
Mo Xuanshuang roared and pounced, biting the black snake. The black snake kept slapping Mo Xuanshuang with its tail, trying to strangle her.
Just as Mo Xuanshuang was delayed, the girl in purple, holding a wind-controlling talisman, rushed directly in front of Ruoruo: "Entering the Dao at the age of three, causing quite a stir. I'd like to see what you're really capable of."
"Ruo Ruo, add the Wind Control Talisman, the Swift Movement Talisman, and then stack a Golden Armor Talisman!" After saying that, Mo Jinyan opened his mouth and spat out Phoenix True Fire, forcing Zi Manqing to take two steps back.
Ruoruo touched the pendant on her chest with her fingertips and pulled out a thick stack of talismans in a flash.
She glanced at them quickly, but didn't recognize any of them, let alone identify the talisman Mo Jinyan had mentioned.
She simply poured all her spiritual power into her fingertips, activating all the talismans and scattering them like a celestial maiden showering flowers at Zi Manqing.
Mo Jinyan, with his sharp eyes, spotted several Thunder Talismans mixed in among the others. Startled, he choked on his own Phoenix True Fire, let out a burp, and exhaled a wisp of black smoke: "Run! The classroom is going to collapse!"
Ruoruo obediently hugged the little chubby chicks and rushed outside. When she passed by the group of chubby chicks that couldn't fly yet and had short legs, she pulled out a cloak, put all seven or eight little chubby chicks inside the cloak, and carried them all out.
Mo Xuanshuang, with the black snake's head in her mouth, rushed out without even caring that the snake was wrapped around her body.
The astute classmates, each displaying their unique abilities, frantically rushed out of the classroom.
Didn't you see that even Mo Jinyan from the Xuan class was scared? Why aren't they running away and instead staying here to gamble with their lives?
Zi Manqing flung out seven or eight talismans and sneered, "Playing tricks? This prince doesn't believe a piece of trash like her..."
"Boom!" Before the words were even finished, all the talismans exploded in mid-air.
Layer upon layer of dark clouds piled up directly above the academy, and tens of thousands of dazzling bolts of lightning struck the classrooms with continuous booming sounds.
Thousands of swords and blades appeared in mid-air and plunged down towards the classroom.
A series of raging fires, hurricanes, and waves swept through the classroom, turning it into a pile of rubble in just a few breaths, leaving not a single intact brick in sight.
As the last heavy rain fell from above, a few small flowers miraculously bloomed on the ruins.
“Ten Thousand Thunder Talisman, Thousand Blade Talisman, Hurricane Talisman, Blazing Flame Talisman… oh and Spring Returns to Earth Talisman.” Mo Jinyan covered his beady eyes with the tip of his wing, then opened his feathers to look at the scene outside through the gaps in his feathers, his face a picture of utter despair.
All the beasts and humans who escaped were stunned. The little African huddle huddled together for warmth, shivering, and quietly moved further away from Ruoruo.
"Are there any survivors in the classroom...?" The little snow leopard swallowed hard. "How...how can your spiritual power activate so many talismans...?"
They're already doing well if they can summon two talismans at the same time, and they can only hold out for half an hour.
Ruoruo collapsed to the ground, panting, "I didn't know how much spiritual power I needed, so I poured all of it into it."
If Ruoruo were to form a contract with Kunlun Ruins, even if she couldn't fully control it, the spiritual power she could mobilize would far surpass that of these child beasts.
"Ruo Ruo, that girl was cultivating demonic energy and called herself 'This Palace,' so she must be a princess of the Demon Realm. If she really dies, we'll be in big trouble." Little Fatty Mo Jinyan suddenly shivered as he realized what was happening.
If that girl dies, the demon realm will seize the opportunity to cause trouble, and even Father might not be able to easily suppress it.
