Yue Linger was late.
The venue for Jiang Cheng's combat assessment was the South Gymnasium at Lotus University.
It was a long distance from Yue Linger's dormitory, but the distance wasn't the reason for her tardiness—it was her best friend, Cheng Bingxin.
Cheng Bingxin insisted on seeing Jiang Cheng, which Yue Linger was rather reluctant to do.
After much back and forth, with the risk of being late looming over them, Yue Linger had no choice but to agree to take Cheng Bingxin with her.
Usually, if a girl has an exceptionally outstanding boyfriend, she would be eager for all her friends to come and see, followed by a unanimous wave of envy for her.
But Yue Linger was different, as Jiang Cheng firstly was not her boyfriend. Even with Liu Qing's presence, they couldn't quite consider themselves friends—their surface-level relationship was that of colleagues, and a senior and junior at school. Deeper down, it was like a father-daughter relationship.
In such a situation, Yue Linger really couldn't show off Jiang Cheng to her friends.
How would she even begin to boast?
Hello, this man is my dad.
Or, Hello, this second prize Talisman Master is the boss of me, a second-tier Talisman Master.
Alternatively, Hello, this man is the boyfriend of my friend. What about me? I am the loser in this love affair.
It was simply impossible to say!
At the South Gymnasium, Yue Linger and Cheng Bingxin, rushing and hustling, eventually made it in time.
The first contestant had already taken the stage, a student from the Treasure Department, who was controlling a globe magical treasure, engaging in a magical duel with his opponent!
The content of this year's freshman combat assessment was very straightforward.
The volunteers, senior students there to earn credits, would fight against the freshmen.
Both sides in the battle were required to wear the “Plain Long Robe,” a third-tier magical treasure developed by the Treasure and Talismans Academy.
As a third-tier magical treasure powered by Core Formation teachers, the “Plain Long Robe” could fully absorb attacks from those in the Qi Cultivation Stage, and most importantly, the robe would change color at the position of impact depending on the strength of the attack.
Without a mark, the robe remains elegantly white, but when attacked, it changes to a deeper color.
The scoring teachers would evaluate based on the color changes of the “Plain Long Robe” and the usage of spells by both sides in the duel.
The fierce battle was underway on the stage, but Cheng Bingxin and Yue Linger's attention was focused in the middle of the queue of freshmen.
Because Jiang Cheng was there.
In the past, they had only seen him from a distance, but at the gymnasium, they finally got a close-up view of Jiang Cheng.
Cheng Bingxin kept clicking her tongue in appreciation, “Tsk tsk, he's quite handsome actually.”
It seemed that Jiang Cheng also noticed Yue Linger and Cheng Bingxin, as he waved at them.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Bingxin immediately tugged at Yue Linger, exclaiming, “Hey, he saw us!”
“Stop it,” said Yue Linger.
How could Cheng Bingxin stop? She had come to enjoy the show. Without making a fuss, how could she enjoy it?
But suddenly, a surge of commotion broke Cheng Bingxin's plan as everyone's attention turned towards the stage belonging to the Treasure and Talismans Academy.
Standing on that stage was the second contestant to appear.
That person was very familiar to Li Youyuan—1002!
The guy who said, “I can't swim, I have to save myself!”
He was one of Li Youyuan's key subjects of interest!
And this person had registered for the Talisman Department!
On the stage, 1002 pulled out a Reusable Type Talisman and started with a full-force activation, severely thrashing his opponent—a volunteer senior—throughout the fight!
The arena was not large, which was meant to encourage students to face the battle head-on instead of evading.
After all, with the protection of the “Plain Long Robe,” nothing could go awry no matter how hard they fought.
However, the downside of a small arena was that when one side was at a disadvantage, it became very difficult to turn the tables!
The volunteer senior was cornered by 1002 and ended up in a situation where a comeback seemed nearly impossible!
As seniors from the same Talisman Department, Cheng Bingxin and Yue Linger immediately recognized the Reusable Type Talisman that 1002 was using.
“That's a Reusable Type Golden Sword Talisman, right?” Cheng Bingxin said.
Yue Linger nodded her head.
The Golden Sword Talisman, among the attack Talismans, belongs to a category with particularly strong offensive power.
This Talisman imitates the sword energy slashed out by Sword Cultivators, with quick speed, high attack power, and a wide attack range.
The only drawback is the common issue with attack talismans—high energy consumption.
But high energy consumption can be withstood with one's own cultivation level. For example, 1002, at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation, when combined with Elixirs…
Just as Yue Linger thought of Elixirs, 1002 predictably took out an Elixir and swallowed it.
According to the examination rules of Lotus University, you can bring three Talismans, one Magical Treasure, and two Elixirs.
The knowledgeable Cheng Bingxin immediately recognized the Elixir that 1002 brought out.
“Purple? A Top-grade Rejuvenation Elixir? Not cheap, right? A first-tier Top-grade Elixir costs a few hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones, doesn't it? Really generous.”
“A few hundred Spirit Stones, that's not too bad,” Lady Yue said.
Cheng Bingxin: ???
Aren't you just here to be laughed at? How did you manage to show off? And how did Yue Linger suddenly become so wealthy? Not even caring about a few hundred Spirit Stones?
It has to be said, 1002's tactics were highly successful, with powerful firepower suppressing the senior right from the start. More than half of the examination time had passed, and his Plain Long Robe was still as white as snow!
The judges, including Mao Lang who came to watch Jiang Cheng, nodded slightly, acknowledging 1002's performance.
Character is something, as long as you can be something of a person, that's enough—the key is the actual combat performance!
“Liu Hu! What the hell are you doing? Getting bullied by a junior like this? Get your act together!”
“If you're this timid, don't have the gall to claim to be my dad anymore. Tonight, be a good son and prepare the foot-washing water for your dormitory fathers.”
These two were clearly friends of the senior who was getting beaten up in the arena, and their dissertation on “fatherhood” prompted a round of laughter.
However, such words also stirred Liu Hu's desire to win!
Credits can be fudged, but he can't really be a son!
He simply gave up on defense, formed a Spell with both hands, and an Earth Dragon attacked from behind, targeting 1002's lower body.
1002 did react, but Liu Hu used a movement technique to close in instantly, and the upper, middle, and lower Flying Blade Skill were thrown out!
1002 dodged two of them, but the lowest blade still left a mark.
A conspicuous dark slash was left on the snow-white robe.
When the exam time ended, the judges shook their heads in disappointment.
1002's performance had been outstanding, whether it was the use of Talismans, the strength of his Cultivation Level, or his combat experience.
It was a pity that he was still hit in the end.
Although it wasn't perfect, 1002 still achieved a high score of 95.
Cheng Bingxin sighed, “No one should be able to surpass him today, right? This is a 95 in a combat examination we're talking about!”
Yue Linger remained silent.
Cheng Bingxin continued, “You're not thinking about your Jiang Cheng, are you? He's only at the third stage of Qi Cultivation. How can he fight? Even the Golden Sword Talisman used by 1002, he wouldn't be able to release it many times at the third stage.”
Yue Linger flashed a faint smile.
Golden Sword Talisman?
Only a fool would use such a clumsy thing.
The fearsomeness of Jiang Cheng…
Yue Linger seemed to recall something, her pretty face blushing slightly, unconsciously clenching her thighs tightly together.
It's something you all cannot possibly imagine!
Anyway, that feeling, she never wanted to experience it again!
