Chapter 146 Flame Talisman
There are many types of talismans, the most common ones are three types: attack, defense, and auxiliary.
The rules of this competition are simple: Participating disciples must draw one of each of the three types of talismans within a specified timeframe. The sect leaders will then rate the talismans based on their effectiveness. The participant with the highest combined score from the three talismans will take first place.
Qiao Yue drew the shield talisman, which she was best at, for defensive talismans, but she had not yet started drawing the attack talismans and auxiliary talismans.
The Explosion Talisman had narrowly defeated Jing Yi last time, so it was the best choice if one wanted to play it safe. However, Qiao Yue didn't want to do that. She wanted to challenge herself and draw the Flame Talisman, which had a stronger attack power.
Qiao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, made her decision, quickly formed seals with her hands, and began to draw the Flame Talisman. She knew very well that drawing this Flame Talisman was extremely difficult, but she believed in her ability.
The surrounding spiritual energy slowly gathered towards her.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Qiao Yue's forehead, her face looked a little solemn, but the movements of her hands did not stop at all. She concentrated on controlling the flow of spiritual energy and carefully outlining the lines of the talisman.
As the last stroke of the pen was made, pea-sized beads of sweat slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the table.
Most of the time had already passed, and now only one auxiliary talisman remained unpainted. Qiao Yue had originally intended to draw the Invisibility Talisman, but just as she was about to start, she recalled her junior sister asking her to carve a formation on the thunderbolt. Since this formation could be integrated with a magical instrument, could it also be integrated into a talisman?
Qiao Yue took a deep breath, thinking it was worth a try, and began to paint. Since it was her first time, her strokes were choppy and unattractive. She thought about trying a different painting, but unfortunately, she was running out of time.
When she handed over the three talismans, she was also nervous.
I'm afraid I was impulsive this time.
·····
Nan Xiao was sitting in the audience and watching Qiao Yue from afar, and he felt something was wrong with her expression.
He muttered, "Why does Second Senior Sister look so nervous?"
Ye Wumian replied: "It's a competition, it's normal to be nervous."
"Third Brother is right."
······
On the platform
The elders of the Tianjian Sect used the talismans of the ten participating disciples in turn, allowing everyone present to intuitively see the effectiveness of the talismans they drew, and several sect leaders gave scores.
The first thing to be shown was the defensive talisman. Qiao Yue’s shield talisman looked and worked well, and was of upper-middle quality. However, after Jing Zhi’s divine shield talisman came out, it seemed a bit mediocre.
"Defense Talisman:
60 points of Huanhai Zongjing.
Qiao Yue from Xiaoyao Sect scored 54 points.
Tianjian Sect····50 points
Chang Ningzong····50 points
········”
Everyone exclaimed:
"Oh my god, Huanhai Sect got full marks in the first round. First place is a sure thing for them."
"Not necessarily. Xiaoyao Sect isn't that bad either. They might even be able to turn the tide."
"Look again, look again."
“·······”
After the display of defensive talismans, it is time to display offensive talismans.
This time, the Tianjian Sect did not use that cheap mirror for testing. I guess they felt ashamed too.
The talismans displayed by the disciples in front were all very common fireball talismans, wind blade talismans, flying stone talismans... and the scores were also average.
It wasn't until Qiao Yue's Flame Talisman came out that everyone fell silent.
The Flame Talisman is a spiritual talisman containing the power of scorching fire. After use, it can form a flame shock wave that can burn everything. If it is in a formation, it can also be used to break the formation. This shows the domineering power of this talisman.
Seeing that the power was still expanding outward, the elder of Tianjian Sect hurriedly used a magic weapon to block it, and only removed the barrier after the power of the talisman was exhausted.
He then announced:
"Attack Talisman:
55 points from Huanhai Zongjing.
Qiao Yue from Xiaoyao Sect scored 60 points.
Tianjian Sect····55 points
Chang Ningzong····54 points
········”
If Jingzhi's Shield Talisman is the best in terms of defensive talismans, then Qiao Yue's Flame Talisman can kill everyone instantly.
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai looked at the effect of the Flame Talisman, and their eyes lit up on the spot. It was so handsome, so cool, and they really wanted it.
Second Senior Sister is so awesome.
···
Someone in the stands exclaimed: "This goddess's talisman is so handsome that it blinded my dog eyes."
"Shut up, that's my goddess..."
······
The leader of Huanhai Sect was rarely unhappy.
He punched the Spirit Beast Sect Master beside him and said depressedly, "Why isn't this disciple from our Huanhai Sect?"
"It's a shame to send such a good talent to Xiaoyao Sect."
The Spirit Beast Sect elder silently moved away from him, "This old man took the opportunity to punch him several times. I seriously suspect he did it on purpose."
The Huanhai Sect Master came closer to Lin Jingyuan and said excitedly, "Let's switch disciples. I'll give you Jingzhi and you give me Qiaoyue. Coincidentally, she and my Zhou Shiqing are a couple and live close to us, so it will be more convenient for us in the future."
The more he talked about it, the better the idea seemed to him.
"Look, now that we've changed our apprentices, you can still get Jingzhi. If you don't, decades later, Qiao Yue and Shi Qing might get married, and you won't even have Jingzhi. I'm doing this for your own good."
Lin Jingyuan smiled, then stood up and swung a punch quickly. His fist, wrapped in spiritual power, hit the face of the leader of the Huanhai Sect.
By the time the other sect leaders reacted, Sect Leader Huanhai had already been punched.
The Four Phases Sect Leader and the Spirit Beast Sect Leader quickly pulled them one by one and tried their best to persuade them to calm down.
The Four Phases Sect Leader advised, "Sect Leader Lin, your disciples are still watching from below. Pay attention to your image."
The Huanhai Sect Master was extremely angry: "If you don't want to change, then don't change. Why are you hitting me?"
As expected, his young disciple had told him before that the people of Xiaoyao Sect had no quality, but he didn't believe it. Now he sees that it is true.
His eyes fell on Qiao Yue. It was such a pity that such a good disciple had such an uncultured master. It was really pitiful.
The Spirit Beast Sect Master said angrily, "I told you to keep talking nonsense, and now you've been beaten."
Serves you right.
Xiao Yanqing said calmly, "It's not appropriate to fight in this kind of situation. If you have any grudges, you can leave the Tianjian Sect and resolve them privately."
Don't play next to him, it's annoying to watch.
·····
Not many people noticed the farce on the platform, only a few close disciples noticed it.
They didn't dare to use their spiritual power to find out what the sect leaders were saying, they could only see that Sect Leader Huanhai was hit by a punch.
Zhuo Hua said, "Master must have been talking nonsense again."
Zhou Shiqing tapped his forehead lightly: "Don't talk about Master."
"oh."
····
On the competition stage, Jingzhi was also whispering with Qiao Yue.
"Senior Sister Qiao, this move of yours caught me off guard."
He never felt any pressure when participating in talisman competitions before, but now he feels extremely stressed.
Qiao Yue smiled faintly: "Junior Brother Jing's divine shield talisman is what I didn't expect."
As expected of Jing Zhi, who has been dominating the list for many years, he is really tough. If he doesn’t get the first place, my junior sisters and the others will be very disappointed, right?
