It was less than fifteen minutes later...
"Alright, mentor, come and inspect these five divine travel talismans I've drawn." Shen Lang quickly drew five yellow papers on the black iron table, patted them a few times, and pretended to refine them, then yawned and said.
"Ha ha ha!" Xu Qing and the others burst into laughter.
This kid is simply reckless, drawing on them with a pen and they become divine travel talismans?
Do they think we're idiots?
Is refining divine travel talismans that easy?
When Mentor Qin Hun demonstrated earlier, it took him a full half hour to refine just one, and after that, his divine sense was greatly drained, so he had to rest for a while and even took a nap!
You just drew five in a few strokes?
You didn't even go through the initial step of inscribing the spirit field, nor the final step of refining with spirit fire. This is called making a talisman?
The school rules of Tayan Academy aren't too strict, but the punishment for lying to or deceiving a mentor is very severe!
You're done for, Shen Lang, you're absolutely done for this time!
I don't think anyone can save you this time!
Xu Qing and the others glared, as if they could already see Shen Lang being expelled from the academy by the vice-principal in a fit of rage.
Mentor Qin Hun's face was also beaming with a smile, and if you didn't know better, you might think he was very happy that his student had successfully refined the talismans.
The divine travel talisman, as its name suggests, is a talisman that can increase movement speed. However, it is only suitable for travel, not for combat, as the leakage of spirit energy during combat can easily destroy it.
Generally, those who use divine travel talismans are those who can't afford to buy spirit beasts for transportation or to use teleportation arrays, because divine travel talismans are very cheap.
However, cheap things are often not of high quality, and the biggest drawback of divine travel talismans is that they are difficult to control.
Many people using divine travel talismans run too fast and end up colliding with trees or falling into ditches, often ending up with bloody heads and faces.
There's a saying that goes, "Beautiful women have a few days each month when they're not convenient, and those who use divine travel talismans have seven or eight days each month when they can't get out of bed because of falls."
Mentor Qin Hun, feeling very pleased with himself, swaggered over, eager to expose Shen Lang's trick. He confidently stuck the divine travel talismans Shen Lang had refined onto his legs.
"Come, come, come, stick on the divine travel talismans you refined, all of them, let me see how much faster they can make me! If you dare to lie to me, heh heh..." A hint of malice flashed in Mentor Qin Hun's eyes.
Shen Lang said with some difficulty, "Mentor, these divine travel talismans are very fast... I'm not sure exactly how fast, but they are very fast. Using them too much is dangerous."
"Stop talking nonsense! How fast can the talismans you refined be? Even if they are really fast, I'm not afraid. I want the thrill! Stick them all on me quickly!" Mentor Qin Hun, not believing a word of Shen Lang's, said carelessly.
The more Shen Lang hesitated, the less Mentor Qin Hun believed he could refine divine travel talismans, and the more he wanted to expose him.
At this moment, all the students in the class had gathered around, their faces showing various expressions, all very curious.
Shen Lang, looking helpless, stuck all five divine travel talismans on Mentor Qin Hun's legs, then asked again, somewhat worried, "Mentor, these divine travel talismans are really very fast, and they are very dangerous. Are you sure you want to use all five at once?"
"Stick all five! I, your mentor, have seen the world. Can I be afraid of a little danger?" Mentor Qin Hun, looking around proudly, received a barrage of flattery from the surrounding students, making him feel as if he were about to float away.
"Alright." Shen Lang, with a pained expression, muttered some words and shouted, "Rise!"
Mentor Qin Hun's feet left the ground, and he adjusted his hat and clothes, then bowed to all the students.
Once he was ready, Shen Lang, suppressing his laughter, pointed at the divine travel talismans on his legs and shouted, "Go!"
Before anyone could see clearly, a figure flashed by, turned into a white light, and disappeared in an instant. The students, puzzled, saw several pieces of clothing fall from the sky: a hat, a long robe, pants, and shorts...
"Damn, go save him quickly!" Xu Qing, the first to realize what had happened, led the class to chase after, but where was there any sign of him?
With no other choice, Xu Qing and the others found Mentor Muzheng, and under her lead, they searched all the way to the city wall of Tianhuang City, where they found Mentor Qin Hun. He had crashed into the wall, penetrating it by three zhang, almost breaking through the city wall, and had left a "Tai" character in the wall.
The physical strength of a Fifth Heaven Qi Warrior is indeed formidable; you can't help but admire it.
Of course, that's a side note.
After using the divine travel talismans to send Mentor Qin Hun away, the entire class ran off. Shen Lang clapped his hands, took a large bag of spirit gathering tokens from Lin Feng, and took out a list, asking them to purchase the materials on it, then wanted to return to his dormitory with the bag.
But before he could get up, he stopped.
Ten meters away, in the forest, a young man was standing under a tree, smiling at him. Behind the young man, a group of subordinates, like wolves, seemed ready to pounce at any moment.
"I have a bad feeling, Young Master Lang. I told you to leave, but you didn't. Now you can't leave. Shen Jianfeng has come..." Lin Feng said with a mournful face. Su Hen didn't speak, but his face was equally grim.
Speaking of Shen Jianfeng, he is not like Shen Daofeng, a fool. He is a true talent, a genius of Tayan Academy, one of the few who broke through to the Qi Warrior realm before the age of twenty.
Shen Lang, of course, knew very well about Shen Jianfeng, as he was his cousin.
This person's cultivation is indeed formidable, but his only weakness is his love for showing off, just like Chu Qingcheng.
He often walks with his hands behind his back, frowning, standing on a mountain or by a river, looking into the distance, putting on a mysterious and profound air...
However, in Tayan Academy, he has always been overshadowed by Chu Qingcheng, even in his attempts to show off.
Wherever Chu Qingcheng is, there is no room for him.
Wherever Chu Qingcheng appears, the highest position will be taken by him, such as the top of a flagpole, a mountain, or a large rock.
Moreover, Chu Qingcheng is much more handsome, and he is one of Shen Lang's best friends, who is now at the capital's Jialan Academy with Shen Lang's sister.
Speaking of the things he does, when he was about eleven or twelve, he went to the capital and ate at a restaurant. Chu Qingcheng was at the next table, and they didn't get along at the time, so they didn't greet each other. Coincidentally, the restaurant was owned by the Chu family. After finishing his meal, Chu Qingcheng told the boss to "put it on the tab" and left, looking very cool.
Shen Jianfeng found this strange, and since he often secretly imitated Chu Qingcheng, he did the same, walking with his hands behind his back, looking sideways, and saying "put it on the tab" before being dragged back and beaten up by the waiter...
Who the hell knows who you are!
Speaking of Shen Jianfeng's attempts to show off, there is one that is widely known in Tayan Academy, and it is related to Shen Lang.
One day, Shen Jianfeng went to see a doctor, and he was smiling very brightly, making people feel as if they were basking in a warm breeze.
The doctor, seeing his expression, thought something was wrong and asked, "What are your symptoms? Where do you feel unwell?"
Shen Jianfeng smiled proudly, "Deep and hidden!"
The doctor was angry. What the hell, coming to show off? I'm a doctor! He suppressed his anger and said, "Do you still want to be treated? If you want to be treated, speak in human language!"
Shen Jianfeng's head drooped, "P... the skin... is too long."
This shouldn't have been known, as Shen Jianfeng had a group of people guarding the door.
But it was a coincidence that Shen Lang was buying medicine for his father next door and heard everything clearly.
Because of this, Shen Jianfeng has tried countless times to find an opportunity to kill him.
But the little demon Xue Dang had taken protection money from Shen Lang, and with her around, he didn't dare to make a move.
On the other hand, Chu Qingcheng is the undisputed number one in Tayan Academy. With him by Shen Lang's side, even the mentors can't do anything to him, let alone Shen Jianfeng.
The worst part is that Shen Lang sleeps all day, and Shen Jianfeng has been waiting day and night, almost falling ill from frustration.
This time, it's different. Shen Lang beat up his younger brother and, surprisingly, stopped sleeping. The opportunity has finally come...
Seeing Shen Jianfeng smile, Shen Lang also smiled, "Cousin, you don't seem to be in a good mood today. Your smile looks a bit fake. Someone once said that when you're not in a good mood, look up at the clouds in the sky. The clouds will change shape according to your wishes and show themselves to you. As long as you still have hope in your heart, the clouds will respond. Look, the clouds in the sky are now forming an 'S' and a 'B'. Isn't that just what you want? What do you want from me?"
"You know why I'm here. Choose a place yourself." Shen Jianfeng said with a smile, trying hard to figure out whether Shen Lang's rambling was praising him or insulting him.
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Cousin, I have to say, you are a failure. You're not an idol, yet you insist on imitating Chu Qingcheng, and your acting is not good, a failure. You clearly want to kill me, but you smile at me with a fake smile, and your lips keep twitching, a failure. Old Chu is gone to Jialan Academy, and you still haven't made it, a failure. Hey, don't be angry, you're a master, and a master should have the demeanor of a master. Look, so many beautiful girls are watching, pay attention to your image."
Shen Jianfeng was so angry that steam was coming out of his ears, but when he looked over, many people on the playground were already paying attention.
And there were indeed many female students...
Before he could speak, Shen Lang continued, "Since you're a master, you should have the demeanor of a master. You can't just attack me casually, as it would be beneath your dignity. For example, if you want to beat me up, coming at me like a thug would be a disgrace to your status as a master. A true master faces the harsh realities of life and the gory bloodshed with courage... I got off track. What I mean is, you should send me a challenge and meet me on the arena. You can beat me up properly, not only to vent your anger but also to gain attention from the whole academy. All the girls will look at you with stars in their eyes, and the old masters will see your martial achievements and your demeanor. Do you agree? Then let's do it. In ten days, we'll meet on the arena."
"Ten days is too long, I can't wait that long." Shen Jianfeng said with a cold snort.
"Alright, then three days. Three days should be fine, right? If a master can't wait three days, how can he earn the respect of the world? How can he earn the praise of the mentors? How can he earn the admiration of the female students? Alright, let's do it. In three days, we'll meet on the arena."
Shen Lang said this and walked away from the classroom, leaving Lin Feng and the others, as well as the group behind Shen Jianfeng, stunned.
"Damn, I was going to drag him out of the playground and beat him up. How did it come to this... Damn, my grandma is your grandma? I'm a bit confused..." Shen Jianfeng scratched his head, trying to figure out these complex issues.
