Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

The host of the combat assessment was flabbergasted.

He had seen many interrupted assessments, but he had never seen a “support” person voluntarily give up.

And the support person was clearly the stronger, the advantaged party, yet inexplicably chose to concede.

The host immediately warned, “This student, withdrawing midway through the assessment means you won’t get any credit.”

“What the hell kind of credit, I don’t want it anymore!”

The senior student jumped off the arena, tore off the “Plain Long Robe” he was wearing, threw it on the ground, and then instantly disappeared.

It’s as if a step slower in running would cost him his life.

“What?”

“What’s going on?”

“Director Li, how should we score this?”

The few grading teachers were immediately troubled and looked towards Li Youyuan.

Li Youyuan thought to himself, how the heck would I know, I’ve never encountered this situation either?

Although Li Youyuan had already tried his best to anticipate the consequences Jiang Cheng could cause, he truly didn’t expect this scene.

However, as the organizer and the highest leader of the freshman assessment, the responsibility still had to fall on Li Youyuan.

Having no alternative, he had to negotiate with Jiang Cheng, “Student Jiang, our colleague assisting with the test might be feeling unwell, which is why he had to abandon the test. Here’s what we’ll do, take a little time to recover, and we’ll retest.”

Jiang Cheng was very reasonable; when he heard the other person was “unwell,” he immediately agreed, “Okay. But Mr. Li, I used up my Talismans just now. If we retest, can my Talismans be refreshed as well?”

“Of course, you can absolutely use them once again.”

Jiang Cheng nodded, no problem then.

As long as the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman could still be used, there wouldn’t be much of an issue.

If the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman couldn’t be used, he would have to rely on the standby Talisman for the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman.

If even the standby for the Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman couldn’t be used, he would have to activate the preset combinations in the composite Reusable Type Talismans.

After the host announced the replacement of the “support testing” personnel, the crowd around watching the drama immediately burst into discussion.

“So he was just feeling unwell? I thought he was replaced for cheating.”

“Hey, actually, aiding in cheating is a trivial matter; if he really got taken out by 1016, that would be terrifying.”

“All this talk is useless; anyway, 1016 won’t be so lucky next.”

“Beat him up hard once you’re up! Damn it, a show-off punk like 1016 should be trampled underfoot! Let’s see if he still pretends!”

Cheng Bingxin looked at Yue Linger and said, “Your fellow townsman doesn’t seem very popular, huh?”

Yue Linger nodded, “If you don’t know him, you would indeed find him quite annoying.”

“And if you do know him? Not annoying anymore?”

Yue Linger thought about herself, Liu Qing, Bai Xiaohe, and was too embarrassed to tell Cheng Bingxin.

Anyway, none of the female cultivators she knew who were close to Jiang Cheng disliked him.

Even someone as beautiful as Liu Qing had also fallen hard for Jiang Cheng, right?

Meanwhile, Li Youyuan was still highly efficient at his job.

Since there were originally four seniors for the “support testing,” each would take a turn fighting and then rest, rotating among themselves.

When one was not suitable, Li Youyuan simply found the next one in line and urgently pushed him onto the arena.

Jiang Cheng’s combat assessment began anew!

Repeating his old tactic, Jiang Cheng said, “I think it would be best for everyone if you just admitted defeat.”

“Less talk, this time I won’t wait for you to make the first move!”

Senior number two had been instructed by Li Youyuan not to learn from his predecessor’s mistakes.

So senior number two positioned himself to attack Jiang Cheng right from the start.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, not expecting this young senior to be so full of vigor.

Since that was the case, Jiang Cheng stopped wasting words.

He threw a Relaxation Talisman straight away and took two steps back to the edge of the arena.

The crowd under the arena instantly started boiling over again.

Some people yelled that Jiang Cheng was a coward.

Others marveled that Jiang Cheng had managed to apply a Healing Talisman on his opponent again.

As a result, no one noticed that Senior No. 2’s stomach growled, and then he was rooted to the spot.

“Hey, why have you stopped fighting? Fight him! What are you afraid of at the third level of Qi training?”

“Exactly, hit him! Get moving already, damn it!”

“Oh no, don’t tell me this guy is also ‘feeling unwell’?”

Indeed, just like the one before him, Senior No. 2 threw caution to the wind—credits, the director, teachers, assessments, be damned!

While running, he stripped off his “plain long robe,” sprinting as if racing against some invisible force in a life-or-death chase.

Has another one given up on testing with Jiang Cheng?

“How, how are we supposed to grade this?”

“Director Liu, these senior students… you might want to ask for help from the examiners at the next platform. Just to be safe.”

Li Youyuan had no choice but to invite over the examiners from the Traditional Cultivation Academy, namely the “Traditional Immortal Cultivation Academy.”

He did so casually. Surely, they couldn’t also have an issue or have colluded with Jiang Cheng beforehand, right?

The senior student from Traditional Cultivation stepped onto the platform and exchanged greeting gestures with Jiang Cheng. The test began!

For the third time, Jiang Cheng repeated his stance of “not striking first.”

“Respected senior, if you are willing to admit defeat voluntarily, then I can choose not to make a move. This would be in both of our best interests and, frankly, the best outcome.”

The Traditional Cultivation senior couldn’t help but laugh.

Huh?

Are the students from the Treasure and Talismans Academy this courageous now?

According to combat strength, shouldn’t students from the Talismans Academy be clobbered by those from the Traditional Cultivation Academy?

Sure enough, half a minute later, this traditional cultivation senior was shedding his armor and running faster than a rabbit!

Jiang Cheng stood proudly on the dueling platform, untainted and in white, even after three consecutive battles—his garment still as pristine as snow, completely unspoiled!

Not a single person could withstand a minute in front of him!

The area below the Treasure and Talismans Academy’s platform fell into an eerie silence.

To be honest, one or two defeats could still be joked about, but three in a row—how could anyone make light of that?

Especially since the last examiner had been hastily invited, it couldn’t be that he too had an issue, right?

The grading teacher had never seen such a situation before, and Li Youyuan felt a great headache coming on.

Finally, one of the grading teachers spoke up, “Students seem unreliable. Perhaps, we should invite a teacher to have a go? If even a teacher can’t withstand Jiang Cheng, then we must acknowledge his skill. That way, we can fairly award the score.”

With that said, Li Youyuan had to go back to recruit someone once again.

Luckily, he had collected plenty of fees this time. Several observers were teachers who had attended the event.

An unexpected boon indeed.

“Fellow colleagues, who would be willing to join Jiang Cheng in a bout?”

Under normal circumstances, such a minor request would undoubtedly be welcomed; after all, it was no more than lifting a finger.

However, now that all of Jiang Cheng’s opponents had turned tail and fled, the teachers were hesitant.

To fight was easy, but what if they lost, how embarrassing it would be; and if they too ran away in a panic, the shame would be immense.

With no other option, Li Youyuan was forced to turn to Mao Lang.

“Mr. Mao, you are a Talisman Master too. For the sake of our academy, you must take action this time.”

Seeing that the situation had come to this, Mao Lang had no choice but to step forward.

“Alright, let me personally test the mettle of this ‘promising seedling’.”

The main reason spurring Mao Lang to action was curiosity, curiosity about the talismans Jiang Cheng used.

As a fellow Talisman Master, nothing could pique one’s curiosity more than talismans.

Jiang Cheng had repeatedly applied a Healing Talisman on his opponents, and it surely wasn’t by accident. Rather, his talismans likely possessed some bizarre ability, a kind of Healing Talisman used on the opponents.

With a plan in his mind, now that Mao Lang understood the peculiar nature of the Healing Talisman, how could he fall for the same trick as the students?

I’ll use a second-tier…

No!

A third-tier Purification Talisman ahead of time to increase my body’s resistance. Let’s see how your strange talisman affects me then.

Jiang lad, today you shall witness the power of a third-tier Talisman Master!
