MEIWITA Chapter 467: Grand Competition Finals (Fourteen)

As soon as the Talisman Competition began, the referee announced the rules of the competition to the participating pupils.

“There are two talisman matches. In the first match, you will need to refine the talisman we have stipulated in order to enter the next match. In the second match, you can perform freely. Whoever can refine the best grade talisman, whoever will become the championship.”

The Talisman Competitions generally weren’t used for battles. After all, throwing high-grade talismans at the opponent could be life-threatening. Whoever refined the best grade would naturally win the championship.

Lou Mu Yan walked to her position and discovered two strong gazes directed at her, faintly fearful and hostile.

She knew from the dossier from Ming Xiu that the two were the favourites to win the championship in the Heavenly Secret Palace and the Sword Sect, and both were Grade 5 Talisman Masters.

She composed herself, picked up the paper on the table and took a look. The first request was to refine an Advanced-Level Grade 4 Talisman, the Water Seal Talisman.

There were three piles of the same refining materials on the table, indicating that there were three chances.

Lou Mu Yan took a set of materials and began to refine it.

Her movements were proficient, and her fire control skills were good. She quickly finished refining the beast skin, beast blood, and other materials needed for the talisman.

When merging, the control of her flames was extremely well, and there was no error in the slightest. In less than an hour, she finished refining the Grade 4 Water Seal Talisman.

Her refining speed once more made the people present startled.

Anyone who knew how to refine talismans knew that the Advanced-Level Grade 4 Water Seal Talisman was a very complicated type among Grade 4 Talismans—especially when refining the several water-attribute materials, one must be very careful, otherwise if there was a mistake with their control of the flames, the materials would be scrapped.

Just like now, except for Lou Mu Yan, the other pupils were still refining, and several of them already had sounds of explosions due to the failure of fire control and so their refining failed.

The speed of the two favoured pupils from the Heavenly Secret Palace and the Sword Sect were already very fast, but at this moment, they had only reached the stage of merging. Compared to Lou Mu Yan’s divine speed, it was simply too inferior.

The viewing seat of the superiors.

“This girl’s talisman talent, I think it might be above her array talent!” A leader from the Sword Sect that came to the Six Major Sects’ competition was precisely a Headmaster of the Talisman School.

Seeing Lou Mu Yan’s proficient movements and speed of completion, he couldn’t help but admire, “Even if this old man went to refine this Water Seal Talisman, it wouldn’t be so efficient.”

The eyes of the Headmasters of the Vast Mountain Sect and the Spirit Tamers Sect were filled with haze—why did this damned girl know everything and anything?

“Headmaster Feng, you must’ve spent a lot of effort raising this girl right?” A Headmaster of the Heavenly Secret Palace also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Because of Lou Mu Yan, this variable, their favoured pupil who had practically absolute chance of winning the title of champion now seemed to be uncertain.

Headmaster Feng smiled shyly and replied: “Usually, that girl figures stuff out on her own, and our Eight Extremes Sect really didn’t provide her with much convenience.”

What he said wasn’t him trying to be humble at all, but in fact, before coming to compete, the Sect really didn’t give any special treatment to Lou Mu Yan except opening up the Pagodas of Enlightenment.

Compared to the ‘Hope’ pupils that were hidden in the various Schools before, the Sect’s cultivation resources that Lou Mu Yan obtained were really nothing.

“Humph, you old thing should just continue to boast.” The Headmaster of the Spirit Tamers Sect heard the words of Headmaster Feng and grew angry. With Lou Mu Yan’s performance, if the Eight Extremes Sect didn’t secretly raise her, even a ghost wouldn’t believe that.

Since the Eight Extremes Sect dared to let Lou Mu Yan occupy six competition places, then they must be very confident in her. Otherwise, who wouldn’t want to advance into the top six with more certainty in this Grand Competition that was related to the places for the Land of Inheritance?

“If she had this level by just figuring things out herself and playing around, then just how many more geniuses have your Eight Extremes Sect hidden?” The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect said sarcastically.

Headmaster Feng had a serious expression, “Achieving such a result is due to the little girl’s own efforts, if you don’t believe it, whatever.”

The others rolled their eyes inwardly—we didn’t believe it to begin with!

Huo Ling Long didn’t join the quarrel this time. In fact, she wasn’t any less shocked than the other Headmasters. After all, Lou Mu Yan really didn’t use much of the Sect’s special cultivation resources.

She rubbed the teacup with her finger, thinking that after she returned, she needed to go to the superiors of the Sect to fight for more training resources for Lou Mu Yan.

Soon, the first match ended. It stood to reason that the first person to refine the Advanced-Level Grade 4 Water Seal Talisman could begin the next championship round.

But because the first test was very difficult and the Water Seal Talisman was very challenging to refine, only five pupils who participated in the first match made it.

“Only five people qualified in the first match, so we will go directly to the second match. I announce that the sixth place of the Talisman Competition will be cancelled and only the top five will be taken.

Then the referee announced, “You will all use your own means to refine the highest-level talisman you can. You must have all prepared the materials already. Now begin the second match.

“Whoever refines the talisman of the highest grade wins the championship, and so on and so forth for the next four rankings.”

There was no time limit this time. After all, the refining of Advanced-Level Grade 4 Talismans and the time for refining Grade 5 Talismans were absolutely different.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t refine immediately, but lazily folded her arms and glanced to the left and right.

Seeing her unhurried attitude, many people couldn’t resist twitching the corners of their lips.

Was this championship competition a joke to her?

The other people had taken out the materials they had long prepared and started refining seriously and nervously, but she sure was fine. Not only did she not look anxious, but she was like an idle person watching others refining in the arena, unconcerned.

That was what referees did alright…

“Lou Mu Yan, aren’t you going to start refining yet? Or have you not prepared the materials for refining?” A referee on the competition stage was very speechless at her leisurely appearance, so he couldn’t resist asking.

Lou Mu Yan smiled with a little embarrassment: “I’ve prepared the materials, but I don’t want to waste time refining again. I’ll wait to see the grade of the talismans they refine, then decide what to refine myself.”

Her meaning was obvious—she was too lazy to refine a talisman of the same grade as others, so to save her doing it again after a bit, if she were to refine, she’d refine the highest grade.

On the viewing seats of the superiors.

“This girl is so arrogant!” The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect snorted coldly, “If she can’t refine a talisman that suppresses the other pupils, I’ll see where she’ll place her face.”

“This is not something you need to worry about, old thing. Your Vast Mountain Sect didn’t even have any pupils entering the top five, but you sure aren’t embarrassed to comment on pupils of the other Sects here?” Huo Ling Long said with sharp ridicule.

The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect choked, “Humph, this old man will wait to see how Lou Mu Yan of your Sect wins the championship.”

His words were meant to be ridicule, but Huo Ling Long followed it and said: “So even you old thing thinks Lou girl is going to win the championship! By your auspicious words, she will definitely not disappoint you.”

The Headmasters of the other Sects didn’t answer, only presenting a fake smile. Besides combat power, no one could match Huo Ling Long, that demoness’s, proficiency in words either.

Only the Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect couldn’t help but take the initiative to send himself to her door to be humiliated each time with his cheap mouth.

“Lou Mu Yan’s started refining.” Seeing that Lou Mu Yan finally retrieved her lazy and leisurely attitude, taking out a bunch of materials to begin refining, everyone’s gazes were focused on her.
