Chapter 7

On the lecture platform, the two people engaged in a magical duel at an extremely fast pace.

In the blink of an eye, the first four basic sword techniques were completed, and Zhu Yu did not fall behind.

Immediately after, two beams of talisman light flashed in their palms, and the two green rays in the air instantly became more complex, entangling and fighting each other once again.

This time, there were eight techniques in total, and the two almost fought at the same speed, finishing the entanglement in just a moment.

Gao Rou snorted coldly, raised her right hand again, and three beams of talisman light flashed in her palm. The talisman sword split into three, forming three shadows. This was the highly difficult "Light Splitting Sword Control" of the last sixteen techniques.

The crowd was instantly in an uproar, and everyone held their breath for Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu had also used three beams of talisman light against Hou Decai, but his technique was called "Cloud Stacking Three Waves," which was much easier than this "Light Spliting Sword Control."

Faced with "Light Splitting Sword Control," Zhu Yu's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he quickly retreated.

He had only been in contact with talismans for a little over two weeks. Even if he was a genius, how much could he have grasped in just two weeks?

Controlling this "Peach Wood Talisman Sword" was not his main focus, how could it compare to the understanding of the essence of talismans by a先天级修仙者 like Gao Rou?

Zhu Yu suddenly felt immense pressure, as he could not control this "Light Splitting Sword Control" at all.

This technique was full of illusions and realities; who knew which was real and which was fake?

But in the midst of danger, Zhu Yu did not panic.

His internal spiritual energy circulated, and he used "Cloud Stacking Three Waves" to defend while quickly retreating.

He regretted not putting enough effort into this "Peach Wood Talisman Sword," as he had discovered a set of talismans on the inner wall of the sword the day before.

But he had only briefly examined them without delving deeper.

If he could have understood the essence of this set of talismans, he would not have been in such a dire situation.

"Cloud Stacking Three Waves" could not withstand "Light Splitting Sword Control."

The situation on the platform was almost one-sided, and Zhu Yu quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, the situation becoming extremely precarious.

"I surrender, I surrender!" Zhu Yu shouted loudly.

Surrendering was not shameful; the other party was a先天级修仙者, a master, so what was there to be ashamed of?

But the response to Zhu Yu was only a cold laugh. Gao Rou seemed to ignore him and instead moved her palm again, the three beams of talisman light in her hand becoming even more intense.

The three sword rays of "Light Splitting Sword Control" became even more powerful and dazzling.

"Bala Gobi, bastard, scum!" Zhu Yu cursed in his heart, but his mind was working at high speed.

He carefully recalled the design of the set of talismans he had seen the day before.

In the face of life and death, the human instinct for survival was highly stimulated. Zhu Yu was an extremely intelligent person, and he usually had a photographic memory when studying talismans.

With this stimulation, his mind worked even faster.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind...

He decisively retreated, shouted loudly, and suddenly raised his right hand, "Clap," "Clap," "Clap," "Clap."

Four beams of talisman light flashed in his palm.

With the four beams of talisman light, Zhu Yu's sword technique, which had been almost overwhelmed, suddenly shone brightly.

A small green light, like a dragon, quickly pierced through the three sword rays of "Light Splitting Sword Control" and attacked Gao Rou at an extremely strange angle.

"Ah..."

The entire lecture hall instantly erupted.

Almost everyone stood up at the same time, each person staring intently at Zhu Yu's talisman sword, finding it hard to believe their eyes.

How could a "Peach Wood Talisman Sword" have a four-talisman combination?

This was almost unheard of and unseen, even the masters of the Spirit Talisman Hall had never mentioned such a bizarre thing.

What sword technique was Zhu Yu using?

What was the name of this technique?

Not only were all the disciples in the lecture hall stunned, but even Gao Rou, who had been smirking, was taken aback.

"Four-talisman combination? How is that possible? This is still a low-level 'Peach Wood Talisman Sword'?"

At this moment, only Zhu Yu remained extremely calm.

His sword technique was like a rainbow, taking the upper hand, but there was no trace of arrogance on his face.

He was not only not arrogant, but after releasing the sword technique, he quickly retreated as fast and as far as he could.

He concentrated all his spiritual energy in his legs, with only one thought in his mind: "Escape!"

"You cheated!" A delicate voice shouted, and all the sword rays in the air instantly turned into illusions, and the two talisman swords almost exploded simultaneously.

The powerful divine sense of the先天级修仙者 surged out like a storm, and wherever it passed, all the talisman illusions vanished.

Zhu Yu felt a mountain pressing down on his back, and his chest almost burst.

"Spurt!" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth, and his head spun, making him sway unsteadily...

"You... you... lost... shameless..."

Almost instinctively, he said these words, and his eyes turned black, and he lost consciousness.

...

The top news that shook the Spirit Talisman Hall almost exploded on the Xin Gui platform.

A master of the Spirit Talisman Hall and a low-level disciple engaged in a duel with a low-level talisman sword, and the master was thoroughly defeated. Due to his unwillingness to accept defeat, he used the power of a先天级修仙者 to attack with divine sense, severely injuring the low-level disciple.

According to the description of the parties involved on the Xin Gui platform, this low-level disciple was a genius who, when controlling the school-standard low-level "Peach Wood Talisman Sword," actually used a "four-talisman combination."

This news, once released on the Xin Gui platform, immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

The groups of people who paid attention quickly divided into factions.

One faction firmly supported the low-level disciple, pointing the finger at the master who lacked moral integrity, and even cited the college ban, demanding severe punishment for this black sheep among the masters.

The other faction, however, clearly supported the master, believing that it was absurd for a low-level disciple to defeat a先天级修仙者. The masters of the Spirit Talisman Hall were all experts in talisman techniques; how could they be defeated by a low-level black-robed disciple?

Moreover, using a "Peach Wood Talisman Sword" to perform a "four-talisman combination" was even more absurd. This was unheard of and impossible.

This faction also accused the person who posted the information of having ulterior motives, stirring up internal strife in the Spirit Talisman Hall, and demanded that the college immediately investigate this person.

The two factions argued and quarreled on the Xin Gui platform, refusing to give in, and soon escalated to personal attacks, such as insulting each other's mothers and ancestors.

Some even openly challenged each other to a duel.

This directly led to the high tension of the disciplinary elders of various halls, with disciplinary disciples patrolling the entire college to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

Fortunately, such intense controversy did not last for several days.

Because the information poster soon released a real-time illusion of the lecture hall on the Xin Gui platform.

This illusion was only a dozen breaths long, but it precisely recorded the most exciting part of the duel.

A black-robed youth raised his right hand, and four beams of talisman light flashed in his palm.

Then the entire "Peach Wood Talisman Sword" transformed into a dragon, strangely breaking through the three sword rays of "Light Splitting Sword Control" and attacking the opponent.

In the next moment, the beautiful female master in the illusion shouted, her divine sense released, and all the talisman lights and magical weapons were quickly crushed.

Then the black-robed youth spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "You... you... lost... shameless..." before fainting.

This short illusion made the faction that firmly supported the master instantly silent.

Even a few die-hard members who tried to argue were quickly drowned out by the overwhelming support for the black-robed youth...

The situation thus became one-sided.

Almost all the criticism was directed at the new female master of the Spirit Talisman Hall, Gao Rou.

Even a group of black-robed disciples from Building 103 surrounded the Spirit Talisman Hall, demanding that Gao Rou explain the situation.

This made the entire Spirit Talisman Hall highly tense, with disciplinary disciples patrolling the college non-stop, twelve hours a day, to prevent any accidents...

...

In the women's Ziwēi Apartment.

In a small, elegant courtyard with a babbling stream and green bamboo.

A purple-robed girl with exceptional grace frowned, her eyes fixed on a palm-sized talisman ash on the square table.

Next to the square table was a small, exquisite trash basket, filled with black ash from burned talisman paper. From the color of the ash, this should be the most common "Grass Orchid" talisman paper, a very common illusion talisman paper.

She sighed softly, somewhat dejectedly, "Failed again, how annoying!"

She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I don't believe it..."

She reached out and picked up a new talisman from the table.

It was indeed a Grass Orchid talisman paper illusion talisman.

The talisman on the illusion talisman was simple, a few rows of crooked talisman marks, like chicken claws.

But the words on the talisman paper were very eye-catching, it read: "Basic Talisman Learning Great Treasure," with the signature: "Made by Red Fish."

The purple-robed girl glared at these words and said in a low, angry voice, "Who is Red Fish? Once I find you, I won't let you off! How annoying!"

"Yunfeng, Senior Sister Yunfeng..."

A purple-robed girl appeared at the courtyard gate. She was petite, slightly plump, with a round, rosy face, looking very cute.

"Senior Sister Yunfeng, have you seen the college Xin Gui platform? There's big news, really big news! Hehe... You won't believe it!" The girl ran over excitedly and said loudly.

"Xiaodan, can't you leave me alone? Can't you see I'm working?" The girl named Yunfeng frowned and said unhappily.

Xiaodan blinked her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and said with an awkward look, "Sorry, Senior Sister, I didn't know you were busy!"

Her eyes flashed, and she said, "Senior Sister Yunfeng, are you still trying to crack this 'Red Fish' illusion talisman? How's it going? Have you succeeded?"

Yunfeng's face changed, and she said uncomfortably, "Almost, I'll crack it soon!"

Xiaodan pouted and said, "You said the same thing yesterday! Senior Sister, if you don't crack this thing soon, our crystal stones for this month will be in short supply. I saw a cute little spirit cat yesterday and was thinking of buying it with the crystal stones!"

Yunfeng frowned and said, "Little girl, all you think about is raising spirit cats. Can't you help me crack this talisman? Our elite disciples' monthly allowance is provided by the income from the affiliated college. This Red Fish has made this 'Basic Talisman Learning Great Treasure,' causing our illusion talisman sales to drop by thirty percent this month.

Now his illusion talisman is selling over a hundred a day. If this continues, we will be in a very difficult position..."
