Although Zhao Manjin's Vajra Talisman was also of the highest quality, it was only barely passable because he had completed it with great difficulty and it had many flaws.
But Chen Yi's Thunderfire Talisman was completely different, with an extremely high degree of completion!
Because he had already planned everything out, and was only waiting for the final step—to draw lightning into the talisman.
But somehow, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, helping him complete the talisman!
Fu Xin's expression was somewhat strange: When did this kid learn the lightning-summoning technique?
Regardless, Chen Yi's talismans truly amazed him.
"95 points!" Fu Xin gave an unprecedentedly high score.
The only flaw in Chen Yi's Thunderfire Talisman is that the fire power is weaker than the thunder power, making it somewhat unbalanced and unstable.
But that's not a big problem. As long as the power of fire stimulates the power of lightning, it can be detonated with absolutely amazing power!
"How could this happen?" Zhao Manjin stood there, stunned.
He had originally planned that if he won first place, he would donate the prize money to Yu Wanbai so that she could use it as supplies for the Talisman Society's future activities.
This way, he could win Yu Wanbai's favor.
But he never expected that all his elaborate schemes would be no match for the unexpected variable, Chen Yi!
"According to the best-of-three format, Chen Yi is in first place!"
After careful consideration, Fu Xin said, "Zhao Manjin's Vajra Talisman has too many flaws, but considering it's a top-grade talisman, I'll give it 91 points!"
After all, if you can draw a top-quality talisman in this competition, as long as you pass, your score will not be lower than 90.
The extra penny was a gesture of respect to Zhao Manjin's father.
"Yu Wanbai's Ice Seal Talisman is only of the high grade, but its completion level is extremely high and its effectiveness is basically at its maximum. I give it 90 points. Overall, it ranks third."
Fu Xin then announced the fourth through tenth place rankings.
Although everyone only receives a small gift, the reputation is truly substantial.
"That's basically it. Do you have any objections?" Fu Xin glanced around.
"No, no!"
The students all shook their heads.
Given Fu Xin's authority in the field of talismans at Xiande Middle School, they naturally dared not have any objections.
Moreover, Fu Xin's judgment was fair and impartial; even if another talisman master were brought in, they wouldn't find anything wrong with it...
Chen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call, a close call indeed!
"Congratulations!" Yu Wanbai stepped forward and offered her congratulations.
Tonight's match made her fully realize Chen Yi's skill level in using talismans.
She wondered if she could persuade Chen Yi to join the Talisman Society.
Even if everyone gets into a cultivation academy in the future, they can still exchange ideas.
But when she thought about what she had done to Chen Yi, she felt uncertain.
If it were the old Chen Yi, perhaps he would have agreed as long as she spoke up?
But if it were the Chen Yi of the past, how could she possibly have the same thought of trying to win him over?
That's a real contradiction...
She pursed her lips and handed over a rectangular box: "This is your reward for winning first place!"
Chen Yi took the box and looked at the three items inside.
A stack of talisman paper, a talisman pen, and a piece of spirit ink!
"There's not much to say about the talisman paper, but the talisman brush and spirit ink are good stuff. Let me introduce them to you!" Yu Wanbai said with great enthusiasm.
"The talisman brush is made of century-old lightning-struck wood. The brush handle is made of century-old lightning-struck wood, the brush ferrule is made of spirit rhinoceros horn, and the brush tip is made of shadow wolf hair. It enhances the effects of escape talismans, sword qi talismans, and lightning talismans."
"The spirit ink is called 'Dan Yuan ink'. It is made primarily from cinnabar aged for over a hundred years, mixed with the blood of spirit beasts and the juice of spirit herbs. It is extremely yang and strong, making it the first choice for drawing talismans for exorcising evil, suppressing evil spirits, and using thunder and fire techniques."
Listening to Yu Wanbai's introduction, Chen Yi felt like he was dreaming.
These three items I have are probably worth fifty or sixty thousand in total, right?
Such an expensive item, and he just held it in his hands like that...
He couldn't even take out 5 yuan from his pocket.
Fortunately, there's always a way out. As long as he makes good use of the three things he won, things will definitely get better.
"Thank you, squad leader!"
Chen Yi approached Zhao Manjin and thanked him.
Zhao Manjin stood with his brothers, their faces extremely grim.
Yu Wanbai's explanation was so detailed, using the same rhetoric he used when he introduced her to him before...
But in order to save face for the class monitor, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why are you thanking me?"
"If it weren't for your strong recommendation for me to participate, I probably would have missed this opportunity... well, a stroke of luck!" Chen Yi said truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Hou Xiangheng almost lost his composure.
He suppressed a laugh, lowered his head, and didn't let Zhao Manjin see it.
To be honest, he was invited by Zhao Manjin to watch Chen Yi's downfall, but unexpectedly, he witnessed his boss become a clown.
Now, to be subjected to such direct humiliation by Chen Yi is truly unbearable...
"hehe!"
Zhao Manjin walked away with a forced smile.
Hou Xiangheng secretly made a "six" gesture to Chen Yi, and then followed Zhao Manjin away.
"The competition is just one part of tonight's event. There will be other activities later, such as a talisman guessing game and a talisman-related Q&A session." Yu Wanbai blinked, her meaning clear.
Chen Yi, however, showed little interest.
"Can I use one of these tables?"
Yu Wanbai was taken aback. "You want to draw a talisman?"
Chen Yi nodded slightly.
I promised Wu Lingyao seven happy charms, but I haven't drawn them yet. I'll take this opportunity to draw them.
Yu Wanbai smiled gently: "Use it as you like. If you'd like, the Talisman Society family welcomes you anytime..."
Chen Yi frowned slightly. "Let's talk about it later!"
There was absolutely no way he could join. The original owner of this body had been shamelessly trying to join, but had been politely refused multiple times.
Now that the president has personally invited him, he only feels somewhat uncomfortable...
He pulled out several talisman papers and grasped the century-old lightning-struck wooden talisman brush.
The magical power merged into the elixir ink, causing the red ink to spread.
He quickly sketched out the patterns of the Heart-Opening Talisman.
Winning first place in the Talisman Society competition will not only bring competition rewards, but also system rewards.
The system reward is that the talisman level is directly upgraded to Lv.1.
A wealth of knowledge about talismans flooded Chen Yi's mind, deepening his understanding of the art of talismans...
Of course, there will also be rewards for related entries.
The reward for a level 1 talisman is the phrase "Writing with divine inspiration".
[Entry: Writing with divine inspiration]
Effect: Your talisman-drawing speed increases by 20%, and the effectiveness of the drawn talismans increases by 10%.
With the new entry, his speed in drawing the Happy Charm increased significantly.
The seven happy charms were drawn in less than half an hour, averaging a little over four minutes per charm.
Before this, no matter how skilled he was, it would still take him seven or eight minutes to finish drawing.
This is partly due to the talisman level 1, and partly due to the new entry.
Moreover, under the influence of these amulets, their effectiveness has approached its limit.
Each one offers nearly 10 seconds of inspiration.
Chen Yi carefully collected the remaining talisman papers and left the talisman society's activity area.
He directly used his phone to arrange a meeting with Wu Lingyao at the cafeteria.
His phone was full of debt collection messages, and he put it away again after making the appointment.
The reason I arranged to meet him in the cafeteria was because he hadn't eaten dinner.
Moreover, the match was over, but he still hadn't received any changes to the system's plans.
So he checked it again.
The special event "Talisman Society Activity" will be held from 17:30 to ??
Does this mean that as long as the Talisman Society's activities continue, I can move around freely?
As far as he knew, the Talisman Society's activities were expected to continue until midnight tonight...
In other words, he was free until midnight.
Chen Yi waited for a few minutes, and then a beautiful figure carrying a sword appeared.
"Thanks." Wu Lingyao took the talisman and prepared to leave.
Chen Yi quickly said, "Ahem, um, could you lend me some money?"
Wu Lingyao turned around, stared at Chen Yi for two seconds, and hesitated before asking, "You...don't have money for food?"
Chen Yi gave an awkward laugh: "I'm a little short on cash lately..."
Wu Lingyao took a step without saying a word, but the direction she was heading was the cafeteria door.
"Let's go, it's my treat. I have something I'd like to talk to you about..."
