Chapter 83 Heaven's Blessing
After a short break, the participating disciples returned to the competition stage.
As Bai Ruoqian passed by Ye Luo, she snorted coldly, "You just wait!"
Hearing this, Ye Luo glanced at her sideways and scoffed disdainfully, "I'm very busy, why would I wait for you? You really think you're something special?"
"You!" Bai Ruoqian glared at him angrily, her teeth clenched.
Bai Qingyi, also a talisman cultivator, frowned and walked towards Bai Ruoqian, whispering, "To draw high-level talismans, you must not be distracted or have any extraneous thoughts. You need to keep your mind steady, understand?"
"Cousin, I understand." Bai Ruoqian responded obediently, glared at Ye Luo, and then said nothing more.
Bai Qingyi nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the center of the arena and said, "The last one is the competition for advanced talismans. Each disciple may choose one talisman to draw and complete it within two quarters of an hour!"
Bai Ruoqian looked at the test questions in the booklet. The difficulty of making talismans, from low to high, was as follows: Body Control Talisman, Spirit Concealment Talisman, Earth Trap Talisman, Fire Cloud Talisman, Soul Suppression Talisman, and Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
"Then let's choose the Heavenly Thunder Talisman."
"No!" Suddenly, the voice of the soul within the body spoke up, "This talisman won't work, choose another one."
Why?
"Don't ask anymore," Xin Hun Yin said again. "With your strength, the success rate of drawing this talisman is almost zero. You should choose something else."
"Alright then." Although Bai Ruoqian had some doubts, she remembered that the elder had said the same thing in class, so she switched to a Soul-Suppressing Talisman and began to copy it with her divine sense.
After the competition lasted for a quarter of an hour, the sound of exploding talismans came from the arena one after another. Four disciples looked at the exhausted high-grade talismans, shook their heads, and walked off the stage with helpless expressions.
At this point, there are still six participating disciples on the stage, still competing: Peach Blossom Valley, Heavenly Wind Sect, Xuanwu Palace, Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Illusionary Sound Sect, and Clear Moon Sect.
With a loud "Bang!", a female disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect cursed under her breath, wiped the dust off her face, and left the competition dejectedly.
Seeing this, Ming Cang breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, at least we've secured a top-five ranking. The rest is just a matter of who gets the best result. As long as Xiao Luo can draw a complete talisman, that's all that matters!"
But no sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Luo exploded with a "bang," making his heart tighten. "Kid, stay calm!"
Ye Luo stroked his chin, deep in thought, seemingly summarizing the reasons for his earlier failure.
"Junior brother, what kind of talisman is he drawing?" Cen Feng asked, completely clueless about talismans.
When Cen Feng asked him that, Ming Cang looked at the booklet he had just received and his face instantly turned ugly. "This brat, he wouldn't have chosen the most difficult Heavenly Thunder Talisman, would he!"
He felt that given Ye Luo's personality, it was highly likely that she would choose that!
"This talisman is a trap; almost no one can draw it successfully!"
"Master, if that's the case, why did you still set this test question?" Yu Qianling asked, looking puzzled.
Ming Cang glared at Mu Tai beside him and demanded, "Yeah! How could they have come up with this question?!"
Mu Tai looked at him speechlessly and asked, "Uh...didn't your sect tell him this during your lessons?"
"..."
Mu Tai's question stunned Ming Cang and the others for a few seconds. Their Peach Blossom Valley had always been a free-range cultivation style, and they had never had formal classes...
"Oh, it's all my fault!" Ming Cang felt a pang of regret. "I'll definitely make sure to schedule all the classes from now on!"
"???"
Upon hearing this, Cen Feng and the others were on the verge of tears, silently crying out in their hearts, "No!" The resumption of morning and evening classes was already enough to kill them, and now they were being forced to fill their schedules with even more classes...
Can't I even survive?!
In fact, their guess was correct. Ye Luo did choose the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. When drawing a talisman, it is important to do it in one go, but he paused when he was drawing it, which is why the talisman failed to explode.
He sorted out all his thoughts, picked up the brush, took the last piece of high-grade talisman paper, and began to draw again, abandoning his concentration.
A moment later, Bai Ruoqian's face lit up with joy. She put down her pen and laughed loudly, "I'm done!"
Bai Qingyi's face showed a look of relief. Just as she was about to go over to check the talisman, the sky suddenly changed, and rolling thunderclouds covered the sky and the sun.
What's going on?
The sudden sense of oppression sent chills down everyone's spines. Ye Luo, who had been concentrating intently, had just put down her pen. When she finally came to her senses, she found that everyone was looking at the sky.
He looked up sharply and saw a huge thundercloud directly overhead. "Holy crap!"
Ye Luo was extremely flustered.
In his past life, he was struck by lightning and sent to the cultivation world because he cursed the heavens a few times. What if he gets struck by lightning and travels back to the cultivation world?
No, no! Absolutely not!
The situation is different now. He now has a loving master, senior brothers and sisters, and a silly dragon who dotes on him... He doesn't want to go back at all now!
Ye Luo's heart sank slightly. He made a quick decision, grabbed the talisman on the platform, and ran away. Just then, a "crack" sounded, and lightning struck the stone platform in front of him, instantly sending stone chips flying and leaving a mess.
Upon seeing this, everyone scattered and fled, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
"My goodness..." Ye Luo used the Wind and Thunder Technique to dodge and flee in the arena, but the lightning seemed to have eyes, relentlessly chasing and striking him. "When will this end?!"
"Junior brother, be careful!"
"Xiao Luo!"
Ye Luo used all his strength to barely dodge another bolt of lightning. He looked at Ming Cang and the others, panting, "Master!"
Seeing that he seemed to be coming over, Ming Cang's eye twitched and he said urgently, "You, you don't come over yet!"
Ye Luo: "..."
Can the boat between master and apprentice capsize so easily?
"Xiao Luo, its target is the Heavenly Thunder Talisman in your hand!" Ming Cang seemed to understand something. "Next time lightning strikes, try throwing it into the sky!"
"ah?"
"Such a celestial phenomenon might just be the legendary blessing from Heaven! If it succeeds, it will be a divine talisman!"
"Holy crap!" Ye Luo looked at the Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his hand, then looked up at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky. "Damn it, I'll risk it all!"
A moment later, a cracking sound rang out, and a golden bolt of lightning struck down, startling Ye Luo so much that her eyes narrowed slightly. She hurled the talisman into the sky, shouting, "Go!"
The lightning struck the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, and a crackling sound of electricity rang out. The astonishing lightning was seen pouring into the talisman, as if it were being tempered.
In no time, the bright yellow talisman seemed to be coated with a layer of golden divine light, and then slowly floated into Ye Luo's hand.
"Wow...it's done?"
Ye Luo carefully examined the talisman in her hand, then jumped up excitedly and waved it around, "Hahaha, Master, it's done! It's done!"
Suddenly, a loud "crack" of thunder rang out again, causing Ye Luo to shrink his neck. He looked up in confusion and found that the thunderclouds in the sky had not dissipated, and a dazzling bolt of lightning was striking Bai Ruoqian.
Upon seeing this, Bai Ruoqian quickly fled. Wherever the lightning struck, the stone table, talismans, and other items were instantly reduced to dust.
Even so, the lightning seemed to show no sign of stopping, continuing to strike her relentlessly.
Ye Luo leaped onto the stands, watching her scramble and dodge around the field in a disheveled state. "Huh? What's going on?"
