The people from the Saint Academy ignored Zhu Yanyi. As long as no one disturbed her, they didn’t care about anything else.
Seeing that the Saint Academy didn’t mind, the others waited for her to wake up.
Half an hour passed quickly. Zhu Yanyi didn’t plan to sleep long. Her alarm woke her up right on time.
She got up, took out a gourd, and poured water onto a towel. She washed her face, stretched, and asked softly, “Is it time for the match?”
Everyone looked at each other, then pretended not to see her casual behavior. They didn’t want to argue with her.
“Since you are rested, let’s start,” a staff member said.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. She put away her lounge chair and walked onto the stage.
Her first match was against Shen Yang.
Shen Yang looked at her and said, “I am a talisman cultivator. I want to ask you about talismans.”
Zhu Yanyi was surprised. “You want to learn from me? I never said I knew talismans.”
“But you always use whatever others use,” Shen Yang said.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. “I am not an expert. I only read a few books. If you really want to compete, I can try. But I have never used talismans on people. I might not control the strength well. Are you sure?”
“Yes,” Shen Yang nodded seriously.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. “Okay. If you want to compete, let’s compete.”
She snapped her fingers. A brush appeared in her hand.
The handle was made of red jade. The tip was made of real wolf king hair. This was a basic practice brush left by the Azure Sovereign Qingdi. When Zhu Yanyi first saw it, she thought the Azure Sovereign Qingdi was too generous.
“The Dan Jade Wolf King Brush?” Shen Yang was shocked. “You have this brush, yet you say you are just practicing? Who are you trying to fool?”
“I am not fooling you,” Zhu Yanyi touched her nose. “My master gave me this brush to practice basic talismans. I only know how to use this one. I don’t know how to use others.”
She told the truth. She didn’t care if she believed her.
Shen Yang clearly didn’t believe her. He took out his brush and yellow paper. “Let’s start.”
She began drawing immediately.
The judge was stunned. He hadn’t said start yet.
Zhu Yanyi shrugged at the judge, showing she didn’t care. Then she started drawing.
“Fifteen can draw talismans?” Gu Jun, a talisman cultivator, was surprised. she had never seen her do it.
“Haven’t you seen Fifteen draw talismans?” Yi Yunfei asked.
Gu Jun shrugged. “No. I always knew Fifteen was a genius. In her world, she was called an all-around scholar as a child, then an all-around little doctor. We thought it was just a title. Now I see her true ability.”
Basically, if others could do it, Zhu Yanyi could too. The problem was she didn’t realize how impressive she was.
Yi Yunfei laughed. “It seems our junior sister Fifteen has a strong foundation.”
Zhu Yanyi drew very fast. She finished one talisman with one stroke. After drawing ten, she stopped. She looked at the ten talismans in her hand.
The judge asked, “Aren’t you drawing anymore?”
“No. Drawing talismans is not as fun as refining pills. These ten scribbles are enough for me to play with,” Zhu Yanyi said.
If she learned talismans, it was only for medical talismans. She wouldn’t touch other types. Of course, her medical talismans were quite good now.
The judge was stunned. “Enough to play with?” she felt it was a waste of her talent in talismans. But she couldn’t say it out loud. she only felt regret in her heart.
While they talked, Shen Yang finished.
She had drawn fifteen talismans.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want to compare power?”
Shen Yang nodded. “If we don’t compare, I don’t know how to beat you.”
“Beat me? Are you sure?” Zhu Yanyi looked at her helplessly.
Shen Yang looked serious. Zhu Yanyi sighed. “What is the point of beating me? But if you insist…”
“Fifteen, don’t let him win,” Ouyang Tianyun said slowly. “There must be a winner.”
Zhu Yanyi looked at Ouyang Tianyun. “Then you can beat her.”
“No,” Ouyang Tianyun shook his head.
Zhu Yanyi was helpless. “Okay, okay. I will compete seriously. Honestly, I don’t understand why you all need a winner.”
She turned to Shen Yang. “How about this? Among my ten talismans, one is a defense talisman. I will stick it on myself. You use your talismans to blast me. If my talisman fails, I lose. Deal?”
“Are the contents of your ten talismans different?” Shen Yang asked.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. “Yes. I rarely draw the same talisman twice. I think that is boring. So I drew ten different ones. Five are for healing. I focus on medicine, and medical talismans are part of medicine. So five are for that.
Of the remaining five, three are for attack, one for defense, and one for protection. I will use the protection one now. You can blast me.”
She took one talisman and stuck it on herself. “Blast me.”
Shen Yang was speechless. He had never seen someone want to be blasted so much. But he wouldn’t hold back. He started blasting.
However, Shen Yang found her fifteen attack talismans useless. They exploded with loud bangs, making holes in the stage. But Zhu Yanyi was unharmed. Not even a hair was damaged.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. “Your talismans are powerful. But they are useless against me. If you really want to blast me, you must first understand the true power of talismans.”
