Heaven Slaughtering Sword God - Chapter 26

At this time, this Low-rank Charm Magician Assessment Grand Meeting had already been going on for around four hours.

For the vast majority of people, this long period of time was just the beginning. For them, who could only craft talismans every hour on average, four hours was only enough for them to complete half of the competition.

After all, they were aiming for a 50% chance of success.

As everyone knew, if one wanted to obtain the qualification for potential, other than having half the success rate as the basic condition, one had to pass an extra test. The content of this test was never fixed, and almost every month’s exam had some changes.

“This big sister doesn’t know …”

Gongsun Waner laughed lightly while shaking her head. Regarding this kind of matter, she and Gongsun Linger naturally had to avoid danger: “According to the Charm Association’s rules, the guild will only decide on the content of this examination at the last moment, after this examination is over.”

“But of course, even if there isn’t a fixed test, the difficulty will basically be the same. With the three of you possessing the qualifications to enter the potential stage, I’m afraid you’ll face a tough battle later. Take this opportunity to rest and recover your energy.” Gongsun Waner instructed.

With that said, Gongsun Linger and the little genius Xu Dong expressed their gratitude to Gongsun Waner, but only Lin Jian kept quiet, closed his eyes and started to recuperate.

Another two hours passed, and the examination had finally ended.

Out of the ninety-seven people present, only twelve of them passed in the end while only five of them, including Lin Jian and the other two, had met one third of the requirements.

Not bad, to have so many Charm Magician with potential joining the guild, this time, I have the face to go back and report to all the Masters in the guild.

Gongsun Waner laughed, and ordered people to go up, and settle the procedures with the nine Charm Magician s who had already passed the examination, then she turned to Lin Jian and the other two, holding onto a jade slip, she crushed it.

In a split-second, beams of white light spread out from the cracks on the jade slip, immediately floating in the air, the light converging into words, on which was written the content of the test — — Exorcist Talisman.

However, the light did not dim at all. Instead, it turned into three balls of light of equal size, floating in front of Lin Jian and the other two.

“This is the content of your test.”

Gongsun Waner smiled slightly and said: “You all have two hours to understand the principles behind this light. As long as you can guarantee that before you finish refining all five sets of ingredients, you will be able to refine a lower tier talisman, and pass the test to obtain the qualification for the potential.”

Hearing this, the three nodded their heads.

Lin Jian extended out his hand, palm facing upwards, holding onto the exorcist light, his mouth revealed a smile.

With the Spirit Devouring Method, he only needed a moment to thoroughly analyse the principles behind this talisman, and then use a fifth of the success rate to refine a talisman, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him, and from the looks of it, his potential qualification was already a piece of cake.

But…

Beside him, Gongsun Linger and Xu Dong had ugly expressions on their faces.

This was because this talisman was a very rare type of talisman in the Nine Regions Continent, and there were very few people who had studied it. Previously, they had no idea about it at all, but wanting to thoroughly understand the meaning of this light in just two hours was extremely difficult.

“Then, let’s begin.”

She held an hourglass in her hand and turned it around. After she turned it around, the two hours of timer could be considered to have started, and after that, she looked at her little sister who was frowning and shook her head lightly. She mouthed a word, “Holy Light.”

Gongsun Linger’s beautiful eyes immediately lit up, as if she was enlightened.

Although she had never studied the Exorcist Light before, the ‘Sacred Light Talisman’ was actually a healing talisman, one of the more common kinds of talismans, the principle of which was extremely similar to the Exorcist Light, and the Gongsun sisters had especially studied this kind of talisman before, hence they had a very strong understanding of it.

“Although I have never studied the Exorcist Symbol, the difference between it and the Sacred Light Symbol is almost the same. As long as I use the method used to refine the Sacred Light Symbol and copy it, this Exorcist Symbol wouldn’t be that difficult for me!” When Gongsun Linger thought of this, she immediately became full of confidence.

The test continued as usual.

Lin Jian then placed the exorcism light aura on his palm, and the Spirit Devouring Method began to circulate secretly, beginning to devour and refine it.

After a while, the light completely disappeared, and in Lin Jian’s heart, the Path of Divine Symbol started to circulate.

“Done.”

Lin Jian’s mind moved and he exhaled.

Now that the understanding side had been completed, he could officially begin carving the talismans.

But, at the same time.

Gongsun Linger also opened her eyes with full confidence, and said: “I can begin to refine talismans.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at the hourglass on the stage, only to realize that it was only half done, Xu Dong was still perspiring and analyzing it, even Lin Jian was silent, seemingly troubled by it all, but Gongsun Linger was already prepared to start refining, the gap between them was too obvious.

“Sure.”

Seeing that her sister had understood her meaning, Gongsun Waner smiled sweetly.

“There’s no hurry to inscribe it. Let’s first watch on how Gongsun Linger carves it. By learning from experience, we might be able to make less detours …” Lin Jian thought, and continued to observe.

Gongsun Linger was full of confidence, she went over to the control board and picked up a material, then closed her eyes and released her Spirit Force, and started to engrave it onto a spirit jade.

“This rune …”

Lin Jian frowned, but discovered that there were many differences between the runes that Gongsun Linger had engraved and the runes that the Path of Divine Symbol had analyzed. Although it was not obvious, it did not seem to be an orthodox exorcism rune, but more like some sort of healing type rune.

Sacred Light Talisman.

After a moment, Lin Jian understood the gist of it. No wonder Gongsun Linger had started to carve so quickly, she had actually studied the Sacred Light Talisman before, she planned to use the Sacred Light Talisman to imitate the talisman … But would this kind of behavior really work?

Lin Jian was curious, and started to silently ponder, using the Path of Divine Symbol to deduce.

Time ticked by …

When Lin Jian finished his deduction, he opened his eyes and shook his head as he laughed.

At the same time.

Gongsun Linger bit her lips and put down the fourth set of ingredients. In the process of Lin Jian deducing, she had already failed four times.

Just as she was feeling depressed, she heard Lin Jian’s laughter, causing the young girl to unconsciously frown and become angry: “What are you laughing at? Did I do it wrong? ”

“Of course not.”

Lin Jian answered as if it was natural.

“Nonsense! When Ling’er was carving, you didn’t even open your eyes, how could you know what method she was using? If you don’t even know how to carve it, how would you dare say that she’s wrong? ” Gongsun Waner frowned, and glared at Lin Jian in displeasure.

It was she who had introduced the inscriptions for the Sacred Light Rune to her sister, but after Gongsun Linger followed her instructions, she did not succeed for a long time and there was only one chance left. However, she had not figured out the problem, how could she not be angry when she heard Lin Jian’s words?

“Heh.”

Lin Jian smiled lightly, and replied with a question: “Isn’t it just using the Sacred Light Talisman to refine a talisman? You can tell at a glance, why wouldn’t I be clear about it? ”

Seeing that Lin Jian had revealed what they were thinking, Gongsun Waner was a little surprised, but she did not believe it. Since you still have a good eye, and can tell that Ling’er used the Sacred Light Talisman’s inscriptions, then tell me, what was her mistake? Let me tell you in advance, her method is the same as mine from the beginning. If you say that her method is wrong, then that is equivalent to slandering me, Gongsun Waner! ”

Speaking of which, if it was an average person, they would also retreat.

After all …

As someone who was still examining his Low-rank Charm Magician, publicly questioning the thoughts of a Mid rank seal master genius was wrong. It was a little too arrogant, and it would be extremely easy for him to throw rocks at his own feet.

“So what?”

Lin Jian shook his head, and said: “Whether it is Gongsun Linger’s way of thinking or yours, right is right, wrong is wrong.”

“…” “Humph, that’s great!”

Gongsun Waner took in a deep breath, and furiously sneered: “If you can’t explain yourself today, don’t think it’s easy!”

As soon as he said that, the atmosphere became tensed up. Everyone’s gazes turned towards Lin Jian, towards the man who made their goddess unhappy, and they did not hesitate to kill with their eyes, at that moment, it was as if the air had frozen.
