Si Jinyan smiled slightly, her smile radiant with youthful charm.
"Oh, what would you do if your sword broke?"
As soon as the girl's clear voice fell, Qin Wensheng heard cracks appear on his sword.
Immediately, the sword broke apart, shattering into more than ten pieces of iron of varying sizes.
Qin Wensheng was forced back about ten steps by the remaining sword energy. He stared wide-eyed at the girl in the middle.
She held a long sword in her hand, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
Her calm and composed demeanor contrasted sharply with Qin Wensheng's disheveled appearance.
The winner and loser are obvious.
Qin Wensheng shouted, "If I lose the next talisman competition, I will admit defeat!"
He was a man of principle.
His greatest skill is talisman making; if he loses, what's the point of continuing the competition?
If he loses five games in a row, where will he put his face at this door?
He couldn't bear the embarrassment.
"OK."
Si Jinyan nonchalantly replied that she would accompany him no matter what the competition was.
She returned the sword to the mountain-guarding Taoist priest, saying, "Thank you for your sword."
The Taoist priest guarding the mountain stared intently at the sword in his hand. He seemed to have only witnessed one move, and Elder Qin was defeated in that single move.
He felt a different kind of power when he held the sword in his hand.
He had a premonition that this girl would become the number one person in the Taoist sect.
This sword will become the first sword used by the Taoist sect.
He must take the sword back and enshrine it.
Si Jinyan didn't notice the expressions on the Taoist priest's face.
She stood in the center of the square, dressed in a simple pale yellow suit, making her look as harmless as the girl next door.
Yet this seemingly harmless girl defeated Qin Wensheng, the number one Taoist master, in a single move.
"Truly impressive!"
Xu Wenfeng couldn't help but give a thumbs up in praise.
Jiang Chumian raised an eyebrow and let out a soft snort, "That goes without saying."
Xu Wenfeng rolled his eyes at him. "Give him a pole and he'll actually climb it?"
"This child will be my student, hahahaha!"
Tong Yuhai looked at Si Jinyan with delight and couldn't help but rub his hands together. When he went to conduct on-site investigations in the future, Si Jinyan would definitely be a good henchman.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
In the middle of the square, Qin Wensheng straightened his clothes; he had looked too disheveled after his defeat.
He is a very proud person, and he was already unwilling to be defeated by Si Jinyan. Now he has to get his revenge on his own turf.
“Talismans are my main skill. In order not to bully a junior like you, I'll let you go first.”
Qin Wensheng pretended to be magnanimous, holding a huge calligraphy brush in his arms, and began to relax his whole body because it was his home turf.
Si Jinyan felt that since someone had given her the first chance, she would go for it.
Without further ado, he reached out and drew a talisman in the air.
A huge rune formed in front of him, and this rune, carrying immense power, pressed down directly on Qin Wensheng.
Si Jinyan doesn't know why he's becoming more and more powerful; it seems to have started with that dream.
She discovered that powerful forces were constantly flowing out from within her.
"Such powerful strength, quickly step back a little."
Xu Wenfeng had no idea that the girl was so powerful, and hurriedly told the Taoist priests watching the commotion to retreat.
"Not to mention the number one person in the Daoist sect, this power is probably unmatched in the last few hundred years."
"The number one person in the Taoist sect is terrifyingly powerful."
Those around her kept clicking their tongues in amazement at the girl's immense strength.
The crowd hurriedly retreated, watching as Qin Wensheng, in the middle of the square, was pressed to the ground by a talisman in the void without even making a move.
With a loud "bang," a cloud of dust was kicked up.
Fortunately, the people around ran fast enough and were not shocked by the wave of energy.
Poor Qin Wensheng, he got a mouthful of dust and was pressed to the ground.
He hadn't expected the difference in strength to be so great.
Holy crap!
He hadn't even shown his full potential yet, how could he just disappear like that?
I'm not reconciled!
Yet, despite such immense power, he had no will to resist.
I surrender!
Qin Wensheng reached out and called out in Si Jinyan's direction.
Si Jinyan immediately withdrew the talisman.
"OK."
The girl's clear voice rang out, and to Qin Wensheng, it was like listening to celestial music.
His lifelong reputation was ruined by this girl; he hated and regretted it immensely.
Why should I give in to Jiang Chumian's provocation and agree?
If he doesn't agree, he will at least still be the number one person in this sect.
"Is Elder Qin now voluntarily admitting defeat?"
Xu Wenfeng stroked his long, gray beard and walked happily to the middle of the square.
With the help of Master Wang and the other Taoist priests, Qin Wensheng got up.
He nodded, looking dejected. "I admit defeat."
"Then I hereby announce that Si Jinyan will serve as the leader of this Daomen Association. Anyone who is dissatisfied can challenge her. Whoever defeats her will be the leader."
The wind in Xuwen blew like a great bell, reaching everyone's ears.
"Who wouldn't dare fight her to the death?"
"That sword strike instantly killed the person, and that talisman was drawn in mid-air—what kind of divine skill is that?"
Now, nobody is foolish enough to challenge Si Jinyan.
Thus, Si Jinyan naturally became the head of the Taoist Association.
Jiang Chumian patted Tong Yuhai on the shoulder, with a teasing tone: "Sigh, this student has become the sect leader."
