Chapter 178: The Power of the Talisman Beast

Inside the jade token.

The second level of the trial space.

Shen Ping looked around.

The inky black environment was extremely oppressive, with densely packed rugged rocks extending deeper into the space. There were more of them than on the first floor, and it seemed as if there was no end in sight.

"The new core Shen Ping."

"The second level assessment is to kill all..."

As a gentle voice sounded.

A semicircular defensive aura of talisman array surged out from the dark ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The moment the spiritual light covered Shen Ping.

Then three craggy rock monsters came to life and slammed into the defensive aura like meteorites. Energy ripples immediately splashed on the surface, and the light dimmed a lot.

See here.

Shen Ping, who had originally looked somewhat relaxed, suddenly had his eyelids twitch.

Good job.

Not only did the number of the rugged rocks on this second floor increase dramatically, but even the attack power seemed to have increased several times. He estimated that the defensive aura could only last for an hour at most. If he still made the first volume of the Talisman Beast Map, there was no way he would be able to pass this second floor.

What to do! Shen Ping's mind started to work quickly.

Apart from the talisman beast diagram, the only thing he can rely on now is the magical power of talismans.

But the problem is.

Even if one were to make ordinary lightning talismans, it would take an hour to make at most ten of them. By then, using magical powers might not be enough to destroy so many rugged rocks.

Bang! It took only a dozen breaths of thought.

The defensive aura began to vibrate continuously, and the surrounding rugged rocks attacked madly like moths to a flame.

“I can only try to use the Talisman Beast Diagram to perform mystical powers!”

The power of the Talisman Beast Diagram is extremely great.

Five or six cards are enough to kill five hundred jagged rocks.

But at the same time, the talisman beast image is extremely unstable. Even if it is outlined on talisman paper, it is easy to explode. If it is a talisman master like Yunya Zhenjun, he can naturally control the talisman beast image easily and make it like an ordinary talisman, which is not easy to explode.

But Shen Ping can't.

This is because when the talisman beast image is drawn using special beast blood and talisman paper, its power far exceeds that of the image drawn in the void using magic power.

His cultivation and spiritual awareness were simply not enough, and he had never tried to do this before.

But time is too tight now.

Shen Ping no longer had time to carefully consider this possibility.

Meditation.

Pray for blessings.

He immediately immersed himself in making the talisman beast picture.

Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, he will give it a try.

…

As time goes by.

The ranking members of the Honor List and the Hidden Dragon List have gradually become stable, but there are still many core members who are rushing for the ranking, especially the older generation members from previous years. After the initial conservative attempts, they began to truly display their skills and abilities when they reached the second level.

After all, the trial assessment is the first time that Zhenbao Tower has used it in the Jade Card. Many members will not fully burst out at the beginning, but will try various methods. Once they understand it, they will no longer have reservations.

Mountain Fire Temple.

Li Yin, the purple-robed Nascent Soul expert who was in charge of Shen Ping's assessors, had been paying attention to the changes in the list.

In addition to being displayed in the jade card space, the rankings on the two lists will also be displayed in each hall and each pavilion master's hall.

Since the Mountain Fire Palace Master's new talented disciple in the art of talismans is trying to gain rankings, many members, including Li Yin, are keeping an eye on the list.

“It fell again!”

"At the beginning, Master Jing Yu was at the top of the list, but now he has dropped to fifth place!"

"Master Jing Yu is a new core member. He knows that he cannot compete with some members of the previous session, so he will definitely use his strongest strength to rush for the ranking. However, with Master Jing Yu's talent, he should be able to stay in the top ten in the first half of the year."

"Yes, this is just the beginning. It's normal to lag behind in the rankings."

Listening to the discussions of other members in the hall.

Li Yin remained silent. He stared at Shen Ping, who was also falling, with excitement in his eyes. "Although it was only a short-term rush to second place, it is already very good. As long as he can stay stable on the Hidden Dragon Ranking after today, the future is promising!"

suddenly.

The jade identity token in his arms vibrated slightly.

Take out a sweep.

It was the message from Junior Sister: "Senior Brother, can you see the rankings? Shen, has Fellow Daoist Shen made it to the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

Hear the sound.

Li Yin smiled, walked outside the hall, and then responded: "Junior sister, when you come to the headquarters next time, you must treat me to a drink."

At the same time.

A quiet room in a small courtyard in Yongyangfang, Lanhai Fairy City.

When Pei Huoyu heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his heroic face, "Brother, it seems that Fellow Daoist Shen has already made it to the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and his ranking is not low."

"Junior sister is smart."

"Yes, Master Shen Fu is currently ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon List. Although he will definitely continue to drop in the future, looking at his momentum, there is a high chance that he will be able to stay on the Hidden Dragon List in the end. Of course, even if he fails, it doesn't matter. If he studies and comprehends for a few more years, he will definitely be on the list!"

Chatted for a while.

Pei Huoyu put away the jade token and looked towards the main quiet room with expectation in his eyes, "Sixth place... Fellow Daoist Shen, whether I can take off this set of light armor and dress depends on your future efforts!"

A hint of relief appeared on the corners of her lips.

Incentives are incentives.

In her heart, it is enough as long as Shen Ping can remain stable on the Hidden Dragon List.

Continued access to restricted resources for more than ten years.

Even low-level resources are enough to bring about a great transformation in their path of cultivation.

…

The second level of the trial space.

Jing Yu looked at the jagged rocks that were madly attacking the defensive spiritual light, his brows furrowed deeply. After nearly an hour of talisman making, he had already produced three second-volume talisman beast pictures with more powerful power, but he only killed seven hundred jagged rock monsters.

And there are still three hundred outside the defensive aura!

Bang! Bang! The remaining jagged rocks continued to strike fiercely, dimming the spiritual light each time, and the defense was about to collapse.

But Jing Yu had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue making talismans.

Any ordinary talisman.

Even a third-level attack talisman would hardly have any effect on these rugged rock monsters.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Half a cup of tea passed.

Bang.

The defensive aura shattered.

The light of the shield talisman immediately surged on Jing Yu's body, but the rugged rocks easily shattered the shield talisman's defense that could withstand the continuous attacks of the Jindan Zhenren with just one impact.

The moment when consciousness turns dark.

There was only one thought left in his mind: "This second level of the trial is too damn difficult!"

…

The trial space where Shen Ping is.

The jagged rock monsters, like locusts, kept crashing into the defense, and the energy of the talisman array on the surface of the defense light was almost gone. The entire defense was dim, with only a tiny bit of light left to maintain it.

Shen Ping was still holding the talisman pen and sketching with full concentration.

But every movement he made was very slow, as if he was trying his best to bear the pressure.

Beside him.

The four talisman beast images were shaking continuously.

It seemed like it might explode at any moment.

It is relatively easy for the powerful consciousness at the Jindan level to control one talisman beast diagram, but the second and third ones will become more and more difficult. By the fourth one, Shen Ping felt his limit. However, this is a spiritual body after all, without the restrictions of the physical body. Although he is mentally exhausted, he can still continue to endure it under the drive of will.

Bang bang!

The defensive aura flickered.

Even the dark rocky earth was shaking.

As the last stroke fell.

The fifth talisman beast picture was finally produced successfully.

This moment.

Shen Ping raised his eyes and looked at the defensive talisman array whose spiritual light was about to completely dissipate. He murmured faintly - the sea of ​​talisman light! Boom! The moment the talisman magic power was activated.

Five talisman beast images revolved around Shen Ping and soon condensed into a circular talisman light in the sky above and behind his head.

Tsk tsk.

The moment the talisman light turned.

Five powerful beast talisman images burned completely, emitting dazzling beams of light.

boom!!

The light column suddenly produced an indescribable terrifying power, and rushed forward at a speed like a rotten wood. The almost collapsed talisman formation completely dissipated, and a large number of rugged rocks rushed towards Shen Ping frantically. However, as soon as they came into contact with the light column, their thick defenses were directly shattered.

It only takes a few breaths.

Thousands of rugged rock monsters were completely annihilated into nothingness.

The entire dark environment suddenly became silent.

"Congratulations to the new core Shen Ping!"

"Successfully passed the second level of the trial. Please take a rest and proceed to the next level."

A gentle voice sounded.

Shen Ping was so exhausted that he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

But at this time.

The ground gradually emitted a strange light that enveloped Shen Ping, and his spirit and magic power quickly recovered.

And at the same time.

Inside the hall of the Mountain Fire Hall.

Many members who were staring at the Hidden Dragon List noticed a name that had already dropped to outside the top 30 and was rushing forward at a very fast speed.

"It was Shen Ping who was ranked second at the beginning!"

"He actually made it into the top ten again... and he's still going, fifth, third, second, and back to second again!"

"How is this possible? Isn't he a new member who just passed the headquarters assessment a few years ago?!"

"A new member from a few years ago? Doesn't that mean he is from the same class as Master Jing Yufu?"

The members in the hall who were looking at the list were stunned when they heard the discussions.

Master Jing Yu is an unparalleled genius in the art of talismans. Even their hall master personally accepted him as a disciple and focused on training him. His ranking on the Potential Dragon List has dropped to sixteenth place. Although it seems to have stabilized, they know that Master Jing Yu has stopped at the second level of the trial assessment space and will not be able to continue to impact the rankings in a short time.

However, now a new core member who is in the same class as Master Jing Yu has actually rushed back to the second place on the Hidden Dragon List!

This is simply unbelievable.
