Heaven Slaughtering Sword God - Chapter 25
It was an acquaintance of Lin Jian’s, his name was Gongsun Linger, and he was the second young miss of Gongsun Clan. He was Gongsun Waner’s younger sister, and similarly to her older sister, they both possessed good talent in the way of talismans.
Seeing her walk in, everyone in the examination hall turned to look at her.
I heard that this is already her third time participating in the examination. The first two times, she passed the second round of examinations, but she has always been suppressing it, so this time, she probably has a very good chance to directly cut down her potential qualification, and from then on, get a lot of focus on training in the Charm Association.
As Gongsun Linger walked into the hall, the crowd immediately parted to open up a path, allowing Gongsun Linger to walk leisurely towards a more spacious area. At that place, there were a few youths and girls who also planned to charge into the qualification for their potential.
Moreover, in this small circle, there was a faint trend of Gongsun Linger taking the lead. The majority of people were flattering her, even though there was the reason of respecting her talisman talent being strong, it was still mostly because of her elder sister.
“Silence!”
At this moment, accompanied by a melodious voice, a beautiful figure walked into the hall.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and exclaimed, “That’s …”
“Gongsun Waner!”
Lin Jian’s brows twitched as he recognized the girl’s identity. He did not expect that she would actually come during the Low-rank Charm Magician Assessment this time.
Gongsun Waner was dressed in a white woman’s robe with exquisite orange lines embroidered on it. In Charm Association, orange represented Mid rank seal master.
As she walked along, the crowd’s gaze was fixated on her, as if they were attracted by a powerful magnet. Gongsun Waner obviously liked the feeling of being the center of attention.
“I will be presiding over this assessment.”
Gongsun Waner came to a platform, faced the crowd, and smiled sweetly: “Among you, there are many who have participated in many examinations, but there are also some who are new. I will now explain the detailed rules of the examinations …” Then, she said the set of rules that everyone was familiar with.
However …
Although it was some useless blabbering, hearing it from the pretty girl’s cherry lips made everyone feel intoxicated, as if they had understood some kind of logic from it. Lin Jian could only shake his head.
“Then, everyone understands the rules, so let this Low-rank Charm Magician Assessment begin!”
Gongsun Waner said, and gave her sister an encouraging look.
Below the stage, Gongsun Linger’s face was slightly red, her beautiful eyes flickered with raging fighting spirit, and she secretly clenched her small fists, encouraging herself.
And then, the exam officially started.
Everyone had their own seats with fifteen different materials placed on them.
The requirement of the assessment was to refine three different kinds of talismans, each of them having five different chances. The three talismans that Lin Jian wanted to refine were the lightning talismans, sword talismans and armor talismans.
Through the help of the Path of Divine Symbol, Lin Jian had already understood their principles and methods of transformation thoroughly. The only thing he needed to pay attention to was the level of proficiency and success rate of carving talismans.
“As long as I have a third of the success rate, I will be able to obtain three Twilight Flowers and master both the Fire Elemental Sword Technique and the Wood Elemental Sword Technique. This is very easy for me. I just need to master it steadily.”
Lin Jian exhaled, after stabilising his mind, he took out a set of materials for making the sword runes and began to operate it. After taking up the medium, he used his own Spirit power to inscribe a set of mysterious runes, full of sharp Sword Qi.
After the rune is carved, a trigger formation needs to be engraved. The following steps are related to the final success rate. The test will be not only the strength and stability of the spiritual energy, but also the depth of the formation you choose.
Lin Jian had never learned about formations before, and Path of Divine Symbol did not have such content, so he could only imitate other people’s formations. Although it was not the most stable, it was not the most suitable, so it could at least guarantee that he could create a rune.
After a moment…
Lin Jian slowly let out a breath, as a sword symbol was completed by him.
Perhaps it was because he was born with a sword, but this first talisman was directly carved successfully.
And on the other side …
The others had basically also completed the carving of the first talisman, but the majority of them had all failed. Only a few geniuses, including Gongsun Linger, and some lucky ones had succeeded.
When everyone saw the first light appear on their control, their eyes could not help but flash with traces of jealousy and envy, especially those who were not famous yet, including Lin Jian, they were naturally divided into the “Lucky” category.
“Second talisman, Armor Talisman.”
Lin Jian exhaled, took out a portion of the materials, and started carving.
Gongsun Waner had always been paying attention to the participants of the assessment. Seeing that everything was going smoothly on her sister’s side, she calmed down a little and shifted her attention to the other people. After all, she was the person in charge of the assessment.
“Your idea when you were carving the loop is not bad. The final third texture should have taken into account the thought process when I participated in the test to create the Light Symbol, right?” “Not bad, you are quite diligent.”
“Thank, thank you for your praise!”
Being called out by Gongsun Waner, was one of the lucky ones who succeeded their first time. Now that they had received the praise of a beauty, their faces all flushed red.
Gongsun Waner laughed. She was already used to this kind of reaction, there were very few people who could remain calm in front of her, and very few people could remain indifferent to her beauty.
Afterwards, she evaluated the process of carving the ‘lucky ones’. Regardless of whether they were praised or demoted, everyone listened with great diligence, as if they were enlightened.
But…
When it was Lin Jian’s turn, the situation changed.
When she evaluated Lin Jian, she praised him once, but when the latter heard it, he merely nodded his head indifferently. After thanking him, he then continued to refine by himself.
“This guy …”
Gongsun Waner’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, she felt a sense of familiarity from the masked man, but because Lin Jian had purposely lowered his voice, she could not confirm the man’s identity.
However, there was one thing for sure.
This guy’s attitude was a bit too arrogant. When she spoke, he didn’t even look at her.
At the same time, when the crowd saw their goddess frowning, they immediately started to criticize Lin Jian.
“Who is this?” “Why are you so rude!”
“He was wearing a mask when he came to participate in the examination. Is it really that shameful?”
“Lady Wan-Er is kind enough to give you some advice. This is a huge fortune for you. How can you not know what’s good for you?” I think your good luck is about to end, the second talisman will definitely fail! ”
“…”
Clamoring noises entered his ears, causing Lin Jian to frown.
Don’t these people have brains?
Just now, he was at the crucial moment of inscribing the talismans, and the talismans had already reached the final step. He had to be completely focused, so how could he communicate normally with others?
“Forget about it. There’s no need to talk about him. Being confident is a good thing. I’m also looking forward to his next symbol.”
Gongsun Waner said indifferently.
Seeing her speak, the people all stopped fighting spirit, but they still stared strangely at Lin Jian, and from time to time, they would let out a light snort from their noses.
However, this was, after all, an assessment, and everyone had their own matters to attend to. When they retracted their attention, they began to busy inscribe their own talismans, and did not have the time to bother with Lin Jian.
Not long after …
Many people’s second talisman had also been completed.
This time, the majority of the lucky people who succeeded before all failed. Even within Gongsun Linger’s circle of geniuses, many failed and those who succeeded by luck were all pleasantly surprised. To them, this kind of experience of succeeding twice in a row was part of a lot of luck.
And Lin Jian, was also successful once again.
This time, everyone looked at him in a different light. The first time could be considered luck, but the second time in a row was proof of that.
This guy with his face covered was clearly capable!
Lin Jian was also very surprised with this.
Previously, when he was training in the Violet Bamboo Pavilion, he had engraved over a hundred talismans, but only thirty of them succeeded. Logically speaking, it could be considered as a third of the success rate, but during the examination today, he had succeeded twice in a row.
“In this way, wouldn’t I be 90% confident of obtaining even half of the success rate?” If we go all out, will we be able to obtain the qualifications for the potential? ”
Lin Jian was looking forward to it.
Soon after, he continued to carve. This time, it was the final lightning talisman.
