Inside the Cave Dwelling.
Chen Mobai played with the drawing Spirit Pen in his hand. It was made of a bamboo tube, the pen body was engraved with a very sophisticated map of the bamboo sea, the end of the pen was decorated with a red tassel, the pen tip was conical, and the pen head was a full and smooth cylinder, full-bodied and evenly bristled.
As expected of a Rank-1 top-grade, the manufacturing process alone was extremely exquisite.
After inserting his spiritual power and dabbing it with a little water, he tested the pen tip on the table, but it was a bit difficult to control.
But this was understandable, after all, he had just got it and needed more practice.
After fiddling with the Green Bamboo Pen for half an hour, Chen Mobai placed the pen in the pen box that came with the gift, then picked up another woven bag.
The opening of the bag was casually tied with a red string, and inside the bag was the “Cinnabarite Ling Sha” of Rank-2.
Upon opening the bag, Chen Mobai took out five irregularly sized reddish minerals, which were dark red in color, opaque but sparkling, and had a touch of deep, yet stable spiritual charm within.
A careful look revealed two large pieces and three small ones.
When held in hand, if Chen Mobai didn’t know that this was Cinnabarite Ling Sha, he would feel they were nothing more than stones that no one would pick up at the side of the road.
After playing with two items thoroughly, Chen Mobai’s excitement faded, so he put them away into his own backpack, then diligently drank a tube of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and began practicing Five Elements Cultivation.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Although Chen Mobai struggled against Gong Xiangyu, there was not much consumption of his Spiritual Power.
By the day of the semi-finals, he had fully recovered to his peak state, and he felt that, after this period of Magic Duel, his Spiritual Power seemed to have improved somewhat.
“Old Chen, our whole class is here today.”
Opening the door of his cave dwelling, Chen Mobai saw his desk-mate Lu Hongsheng. Next to him stood class leader Mo Simin and two beauties from the front desk, Pu Jiangxue and Yu Shu.
“The others are waiting at the arena, we came to accompany you so that those despicable students from Yuheng High School won’t waste your spiritual power on the way.”
Lu Hongsheng was indignantly referring to the harassment Chen Mobai received from the students of Yuheng High School.
“Don’t worry, the seniors from Cinnabarite Institute will escort me.”
Chen Mobai appreciated their kindness, but at that moment the Escorting Student Council President also came. Chen Si and Shen Juanxiu were also among the group. Upon seeing their Formation teacher, Lu Hongsheng and the others started greeting them.
“Good, let’s go together to cheer for Chen Mobai.”
Though introverted by nature, at this time, Chen Mobai could only allow himself to be surrounded by a big group of people. He was escorted all the way from the cave dwelling entrance to the top of the peak to the combat arena.
“Oh, Yan Bingxuan is also here.”
Upon reaching the top, Chen Mobai saw Yan Bingxuan sitting on a stone bench and was surprised.
“Not only her, but your girlfriend is also here.”
Lu Hongsheng secretly pulled Chen Mobai aside, pointed in another direction, Qing Nu wearing a hat and a mask stood nearer to the front of the arena. When they looked over, she squinted and waved, smiling.
“How did you recognize her?”
Honestly, if it were not pointed out by Lu Hongsheng, Chen Mobai might not have recognized Qing Nu among the crowd in this disguise.
“I came here early in the morning and saw Yan Bingxuan talking to her, so I recognized her immediately.”
“Those two?”
Upon hearing that, Chen Mobai felt curious.
He had the impression that Yan Bingxuan and Qing Nu would have absolutely nothing to chat about.
Just then, a cheer rose from the crowd, and Yan Feng with his cold demeanor surprisingly flew up from below. Facing the rising sun, it was as if the whole person was enveloped in a layer of morning glow, making him blindingly radiant.
“So handsome!”
Many of the Look Party audience saw this scene and couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
“This is in the bag!”
Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Mobai knew that he should have this magic duel under his control.
One in the Qi Cultivating Realm cannot fly by manipulating qi; the only possibility is by using a “Flying Talisman.”
However, even if this “Flying Talisman”, a rank-1 superior talisman, consumes little spiritual power, it still uses spiritual power nonetheless.
Yan Feng had used up a Flying Talisman to get here, which meant that he didn’t start with his spiritual power at its fullest.
Perhaps for others, this may seem like a trivial detail. But for Chen Mobai, a master tactician, it was enough to see the scale of victory tilt in his favor.
Shortly after, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing also joined in.
Unlike Yan Feng’s flashy entrance, they honestly took the main route up, accompanied by a few students from the secondary school.
Once all four of them were present, they looked around, each choosing a corner to stand in.
While they’re waiting for Crimson Robe and the representatives of Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai noticed Qing Nu making her way towards Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, a surprising sight that left him puzzled.
Wanting to understand the situation, he observed that Qing Nu seemingly knew Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, greeting them with laughter and merriment.
Feeling a bit lost, Chen Mobai decided to join them.
“Why did you come over as well?”
Upon arriving, Chen Mobai greeted Qing Nu as if he had just noticed her, with evident joy.
“I came to cheer you guys on.”
Qing Nu replied with a smile, leaving Chen Mobai, Kong Feichen, and Yang Jing utterly confused.
When did you become acquainted?
At that moment, Crimson Robe and the representatives from the Daoist Academy flew over. Upon landing, he waved his hand broadly.
“No need to waste time. Let’s start the first half of the matchup.”
After Crimson Robe announced the order for the semi-finals, he sat down leisurely.
Kong Feichen and Yang Jing exchanged glances, greeting Qing Nu in unison.
“Sister, we’ll go up first.”
At the referee’s beckon, they stepped onto the specially strengthened and widened arena.
“The rules are the same as before.”
Having said that, the referee leaped off the stage, leaving it to the two contenders.
Kong Feichen was still mulling over how Qing Nu and Chen Mobai got to know each other, and what their relation was.
Distracted, he started to activate a “Big Wind Talisman”.
According to the plan they came up with earlier, Yang Jing would throw in the towel.
They knew they couldn’t keep this from Crimson Robe and the representatives of the Daoist Academy, so they decided to be upfront about it.
He would release a talisman to blow Yang Jing off the stage.
The “Big Wind Talisman” was activated, causing a whirlwind of blue air stream to blast in front of Yang Jing. This gust blew her black gown and pants, enhancing her tall and long legs’ silhouette and curves. She had to hold onto her wide-brimmed hat to prevent it from being blown away.
Just as Kong Feichen was ready to see her step down, Yang Jing suddenly raised her head, waving off the approaching “Big Wind Talisman” with her hand.
“What if I compete in the final?”
She suddenly said something that caused Kong Feichen’s eyes to widen with surprise..
