“Anticlimactic.”

After watching the latter two magic duels, the representatives of the Daoist Academy shook their heads, unable to hide the disappointment on their faces. In the first duel between Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu, the weaker overcame the stronger, beating an opponent in a higher rank.

In this battle, the tactical consciousness and battle experience Chen Mobai showcased, even the complete system of spells and talismans, would rank him top three among all Qi cultivators they have ever seen.

Gong Xiangyu, who was Chen Mobai’s opponent, had mastered the Spiritual Control Technique in the Qi Cultivating Realm, which was quite remarkable.

If Gong Xiangyu had won this duel, Lan Haitian would also have been willing to recruit him into the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.

The second duel was the most devastating in this round, whether it was the breakthrough on the battlefield or the invocation of lightning into the body, both were worth to be known as remarkable stories.

There are still five people left, do we need to draw lots again?”

Shang Qing asked the Chi Robed True Man in front of him, who shook his head. “According to this draw, the first and second halves of the draw will match. Kong Feichen and Yang Jing are in the upper half, while Yan Feng, Xue Luan, and Chen Mobai are in the lower half.”

“If there are three people in the lower half, how do we duel?”

Shang Qing was somewhat puzzled – he had never seen such a pairing.

Xue Luan can’t fight anymore, he can only lie in bed to recover for the next half-year.”

At this time, Ning Anning spoke up.

Being the doctor who treated Xue Loan’s injuries, he was confident about his prognosis.

“So, it turns out to be a perfect pair.”

The Chi Robed True Man clapped his hands seemingly satisfied, indicating the referee from Cinnabarite Institute to bold the name of the winning player in the match table.

Three days later, the semi-finals, you four can’t disappoint me.”

After hearing the Chi Robed True Man’s words, Chen Mobai looked at his opponent.

Yan Feng.

A youth with a stern face, he was surrounded by people from Jade Everlasting High School in the center, their eyes meeting, sparks flying.

“Hey.”

At this moment, the voice of Kong Feichen sounded beside Chen Mobai, who turned to look at him.

“As we agreed, see you in the final.”

“Yes, see you in the final.”

Chen Mobai nodded vigorously.

Yan Feng sneered after hearing this, and amidst the indignant looks of his classmates, he turned and left.

That guy has something up his sleeve, you need to be careful.”

Kong Feichen pointed to Yan Feng’s receding figure and suggested ambiguously.

“Yes, I feel like he might be stronger than you, perhaps the most formidable one in this duel.”

Chen Mobai straightforwardly expressed his feelings, making Kong Feichen click his tongue.

“The most formidable one is right beside me?”

Kong Feichen pointed to Yang Jing next to him, making a confusing remark

that left Chen Mobai scratching his head.

“She can’t reveal her true strength. In the semi-final, she will lose to me outright. But it’s quite a pity, I originally planned for her to go against you so I wouldn’t have to step in personally.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was even more puzzled.

“Do you have that much confidence that she could beat me?”

“She has cultivated a very strange technique that makes her invincible at the Qi Cultivating Realm. However, she suffers greatly from using that technique, and will be closely watched by the Daoist department, so we decided to let her lose to me in this duel.”

What Kong Feichen said made Chen Mobai frown, as his description reminded him of something.

Could she be cultivating a forbidden technique?”

“Huh! You are even aware of forbidden techniques!”

Kong Feichen was astonished, seemingly surprised by Chen Mobai’s accurate guess.

“I must remind you that Lan Haitian is here in Red Sandstone City this time to arrest someone practicing forbidden techniques. If you don’t want her to be arrested as well, it’s best not to reveal this matter any further.”

Although Chen Mobai saw Kong Feichen as an opponent, he quite liked him and felt good about their first meeting, so he kindly offered this reminder.

“Your kindness is unnecessary, the forbidden technique Yang Jing practiced is approved by the Daoist department.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai slightly squinted his eyes but chose not to say anything more.

If she is invincible in Qi Cultivation, why don’t you lose to her? That could protect her to the final match, making it possible for neither me nor Yan Feng to be her opponent.”

“I don’t want her to suffer. The Four Major Daoist Academies won’t accept her+”

Kong Feichen eyed Yang Jing beside him, who remained motionless, half of her face hidden beneath a wide-rimmed hat.

“So I should thank you for stopping such a powerful opponent at the semi-final?”

The words of Chen Mobai made Kong Feichen shook his head lightly.

“Well, the outcome is still going to be your defeat. There’s no need for thanks.”

The two of them sparred with words once more, then turned and left together.

On his way back to his rented cave dwelling, Chen Mobai encountered a few students from Jade Everlasting High School who were goading him, but before he could take action, the student council of the Cinnabarite Institute stepped in. They subdued this group of people and expelled them from the area.

One of them Chen Mobai recognized, it was Chan Si.

Next to her was the rich senior sister.

“The principle specifically ordered us to ensure you are in the best condition

for the semi-finals three days later.”

The student council president, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a gentle demeanor and a calm expression. After hearing his explanation, Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude and returned to his cave dwelling under his escort.

“The school has already upgraded the spiritual energy in your cave dwelling to a Rank-2 lower-grade for free.”

The student council president saw Chen Mobai off, upgraded the spiritual energy in the cave with his card, and then left with his people. But Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu stayed behind, spending some time talking to him.

“Wasn’t the Cinnabarite Institute renowned for its Talismans? Do either of you have any old spirit pens that have been discarded?”

Chen Mobai recalled his need to prepare for talisman making after the duel.

He could buy talisman paper and he had sorted out the machine for making talisman ink, but he was still unsure about the spirit pen for drawing talismans.

The shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop said that his spirit pen was passed down from his ancestors and had been used since childhood.

In the Daoist world, the best spirit pens naturally come from Wei Yu Cave Heaven, but Chen Mobai was just about to get started and didn’t need such high-grade goods. When he thought about buying online, local online shops only had single digit orders, and the reviews were average, making him hesitant to try.

“I have a Rank-1 upper-grade green bamboo pen, you can have it if you want.”

The one who spoke was Shen Juanxiu, her family ran a mining business that specializes in a type of spiritual sand produced in Red Sandstone City, which makes them extraordinarily wealthy.

“That won’t do, it’s too valuable.”

Chen Mobai immediately refused, this Rank-t upper-grade drawing spirit pen would at least cost a hundred thousand Good Deed Points in the market, but he was a man who wouldn’t accept undeserved rewards..
