Chapter 127: Sect Competition
Chu Tingbai was a little surprised to see that it was Shang Qi who came up. He originally wanted to give way to the child.
No matter how jealous he is, he would not be so petty as to deliberately retaliate against him.
He thought so in his heart, but when he saw Shang Qi came up and interacted with Qing Yanrou, he couldn't help but feel itchy.
There is no distinction between children and adults on the battlefield, so he will not show mercy.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please."
Shang Qi's voice has not yet gone through the voice change period, so there is still a slight baby tone in his voice, and his voice is too immature.
When Chu Tingbai heard his voice, he came to his senses, paused, and signaled him to take the first step.
Forget it, this is just a kid who hasn’t even gone through the voice change period, why bother to get mad at him.
Shang Qi didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with him anymore. He started to attack him with the same military boxing technique.
He stepped forward and punched out with his right fist, but seeing that he was dodged, he stepped forward again and punched out with his left fist. His punch was also very fierce, breaking the wind and hitting Chu Tingbai.
His movements, which seemed fast to others, were still too slow to Chu Tingbai.
He followed up his moves effortlessly, making Shang Qi run all over the field like a cat.
Shang Qi himself didn't notice it, he fought more and more vigorously, and Han Dong in the audience could hardly bear to watch him.
It wasn't long before his strength was exhausted and he was gasping for breath.
Finally, when he couldn't hold on any longer, he stopped in the middle of the stage, put his hands on his waist, and gasped heavily.
“No, no, no…”
Compared to the exhausted Shang Qi, Chu Tingbai stood there looking at him coldly as if nothing had happened.
"Is that all the energy you have?"
"I, I, I'm not usually this weak..."
Shang Qi was breathing heavily, and he was a little puzzled when he said this. He had consumed his physical strength too quickly today.
"Exercise more when you have nothing to do, and spend more time on cultivation."
He almost said it clearly, don't look at Qing Yanrou like a puppy that has fallen for a bone and has to cling to her.
Unfortunately, Shang Qi doesn’t have the emotional intelligence to understand.
Just kept nodding.
Han Dong couldn't bear it anymore and pulled him away.
"Rest for a while first. You'll be competing against two people in a row later. Go down and rest quickly."
As he said this, he and another disciple from Qingyun Temple carried him away.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, let's spar together next time—"
Shang Qi was carried away by his senior brother, and he did not forget to look back at Chu Tingbai and spoke loudly.
"Alright, you!"
Han Dong slapped him on the back and said angrily.
It seems that I have to tell him clearly and let him figure it out on his own, otherwise he might be played around with until nothing is left.
"Anyone else want to come up?"
He glanced at the crowd below with a cold gaze and spoke lightly.
There was complete silence.
At first they were a little disdainful, but after the muscular man passed by, they were surprised by his abilities.
Seeing him effortlessly slipping away from Shang Qi this time, they felt nothing but fear. Are all the people in Yantai Temple so perverted?
No one would go up at this moment, or to be more precise, no one dared to go.
After all, they need to save their energy to compete with others later.
Seeing that no one came up, Chu Tingbai walked down the stage and returned to Qing Yanrou.
“That’s awesome!”
She looked up at him, her eyes shining and a smile on her lips.
Hearing her tone of voice as if she was praising a kindergarten child again, he couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, then leaned over and whispered behind her ear:
"I'd rather hear you praise me like this somewhere else."
Warm breath sprayed behind her ears, and his words successfully made her ears red.
Fortunately, his voice was quiet enough that only two people heard it.
"ah--"
Her face flushed and she stood up suddenly. Zhang Linger, who was sitting on the other side of the bench, fell to the ground because the bench lost its balance.
Qing Yanrou hurried over to help her up, "I'm so sorry."
It was the first time she heard her idol apologize to her, and she was a little flattered.
He quickly followed her hand and stood up, then patted the dust off his body and said:
"It's okay, it's okay, I just sat too close to the side."
People who practice cultivation have thick skin and flesh, so this small height is no problem for them. She was just frightened by the sudden feeling of weightlessness.
Seeing that she was really fine, Qing Yanrou was relieved, then turned around and glared at Chu Tingbai.
Chu Tingbai was glared at by her, and he twirled his fingers guiltily, turning his head away and not looking at her directly.
"Let's go. We still need to go to the talisman. Are you going?"
She spoke to Chu Tingbai in a bad mood at first, then softened her voice and asked Zhang Linger.
"Go! Go! Go!!!"
She was more than happy to have the chance to spend more time with her idol.
Besides, she was going to the talisman anyway.
Shang Qi at Qingyun Temple hadn't completed his competition task yet, but he was already exhausted and had to take a break before continuing.
Let the other people from Qingyun Temple go first.
Qing Yanrou and the other two separated from them and went to the place where the talisman competition was to take place.
——
The scene for the spell-casting competition is divided into two places.
One is an open-air square for disciples with some ability in drawing talismans to use them directly and test their control over them.
The second is the five side rooms, because the person who draws the talisman needs to burn incense and bathe, and pray to the ancestors for success.
And during the entire process of drawing the talisman, you need to concentrate and not relax at all.
Therefore, these five rooms were prepared.
However, the above process of drawing talismans does not apply to the inkstone view.
When they arrived, all five rooms were already occupied, and there were people chanting spells and using talismans in the open square.
Qing Yanrou noticed with her sharp eyes that the talismans in the hands of most people who used talismans came from her and Chu Tingbai.
In this situation, she vaguely felt the position of Yantai Temple in Taoism.
The success rate of Taoists who use inkstones to read talismans is basically 100%, and not a single talisman is wasted.
Taoists who use other talismans find it very difficult to use them. They have to recite the spell several times before the talisman takes effect, and some even have no effect at all.
The person who was recording on the side couldn't help but go up to check.
"Is it because you're not strong enough or what? There's been no movement for so long."
The contrast on the side was too obvious. As soon as the lightning talisman was used, the sky rumbled with thunder and lightning struck down all of a sudden.
Using the blasting talisman, a hole was blown out in the ground immediately.
But these guys here didn't make any movement for a long time, and he couldn't help but question them.
Those people he talked about felt a little ashamed. The contrast was really too tragic.
"Elder, don't blame them. It's because the talismans we have are of better quality that our success rate is so ideal."
One of the little girls couldn't help but speak to the elder who was recording.
"What talisman? Where did you buy it?"
"I bought it at Yantaiguan in Province G."
As she spoke, she took out an unused talisman from her pocket and showed it to him.
"Yantai Temple, I know, this, this, this, a high-level talisman?"
Although the elder who recorded the items knew about Yantai Temple, he had never purchased anything from it and didn't care much about it. But when he took it in his hand, he found that it was a high-level talisman.
You know, high-level talismans are rare, and he only has one, and he is reluctant to use it.
Who would have thought that this disciple would casually take out a high-level talisman!
