The Good-for-Nothing's Counterattack: Full-time Spiritual Master

"Lin Yuchen from Lingtian College wins!" As soon as this voice came out, the whole venue instantly boiled over.

Not only the students of Lingtian College were cheering, but the students from other colleges also looked at Lin Yuchen with sincere admiration.

Those cheers were a high recognition of Lin Yuchen's efforts in taming the beast.

"First is Lin Yuchen, second is Qian Xiyang, third is Luo Xi, fourth is Yu Qian, fifth is Mo Xixing, sixth is Yuan Shuxin, seventh is Tian Zeyan, eighth is Long Qian, ninth is An Ciyou, and tenth is Mu Jie'an." As the rankings were announced, everyone's spirits remained high.

"The beast taming competition is over, the rune competition will begin tomorrow!"

This sentence was like a military order, instantly shifting everyone's expectations.

As soon as Lin Yuchen returned to the stage, he heard Mu Yunxi's teasing voice: "You are so good, when did you contract so many monsters behind our backs!"

Lin Yuchen showed a smug smile on his face and responded: "There is no other way. The talent is here, and I don't want to sign a contract."

Hearing his words, the students of Lingtian College fell silent for a moment.

Then he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's okay if you don't want to contract them! What they need most is contracted beasts, and what Lingtian Academy needs most is beastmasters.

The next day, the curtain of the rune competition slowly opened.

There were a total of ten people from Lingtian Academy participating in the Rune Competition, which was indeed more than the number of people participating in the Beast Taming Competition.

Among them, Gu Li and Xi Zihan are particularly eye-catching.

Gu Li looked at the people who went on stage. Together with students from other colleges, there were more than eighty people in total, and the number of people from Lingtian College was the smallest among them.

The referee stood in the center of the field and solemnly announced the rules: "Anyone who draws the seventh-grade Explosion Talisman can enter the next round!"

After the referee announced the start, everyone used their spiritual power to turn into pens.

In an instant, the entire venue was enveloped in brilliant light.

Everyone started drawing runes, and the air was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

The pen in Gu Li's hand danced quickly, and the lively brushstrokes seemed like elves jumping on the paper.

Her eyes reveal confidence and concentration, and every stroke of her pen contains powerful force, as if it can penetrate the paper and reach people's hearts.

Xi Zihan was not to be outdone. His rune drawing style was steady and majestic. Each rune seemed to have tremendous power, giving people a sense of irresistible majesty.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Li and Xi Zi Han finished drawing the runes almost at the same time.

The referee's eyes swept over their runes, full of admiration.

"Gu Li and Xi Zihan from Lingtian Academy have entered the next round."

The referee's voice was loud and clear.

Hearing that it was someone from Lingtian College who finished first, some people became furious.

They secretly murmured in their hearts: Why do all the talented people go to Lingtian College!

The elders from other academies looked at Gu Li and his companions as if they were looking at a few pieces of delicious cakes.

They thought, it would be great if this person was their apprentice. It would be so prestigious to bring him out.

Elder Xi saw the elder of Lingxi College beside him with his eyes shining, and said unhappily: "Don't look at him, he is from our Lingtian College."

The elder of Lingxi College responded unyieldingly: "Just because it is true now doesn't mean it will be true in the future."

Elder Xi secretly cursed them in his heart for being shameless and actually wanting to poach his talents.

All members passed the first round of Rune competition, but the tense atmosphere did not diminish at all.

"Draw the ninth-grade flame symbol to enter the next round."

Gu Li frowned when he heard this request, looked at Xi Zihan and asked, "What kind of talisman is this? Have you seen it before?"

She was also helpless. Among all the spells, runes were the worst for her.

Normally, she doesn't have much time to draw runes, and there is no need for her to draw them. Xi Zihan always gives them runes in piles, and they can never use them all.

Xi Zi Han silently took out a picture album and handed it to her, with various rune patterns on it.

Gu Li turned to the page with the fire symbol and looked at it carefully.

Seeing that she was actually flipping through the album, the people in the audience burst into laughter.

"In the first round, I thought she was so powerful, but I didn't expect she didn't even know what a fire charm was, hahaha."

"She wouldn't think she can draw it at the last minute, would she? That's too naive."

The mocking voices came one after another, like sharp arrows, trying to pierce Gu Li's confidence.

However, the students of Lingtian College silently cheered her on in their hearts.

When Elder Xi saw this scene, he wished he could go back to the time before the competition and never let her participate in the rune competition!

But Gu Li naturally heard their ridicule, but she chose to pretend not to hear it and devoted herself to drawing the runes.

Xi Zihan completed it very quickly. After all, he was a holy rune master, and the ninth-grade fire rune was just a matter of raising his hand for him.

After checking Xi Zihan's runes, the referee announced: "Lingtian Academy's Xi Zihan enters the next round."

Gu Li was drawing on the paper with great concentration, taking every stroke seriously, as if the ridicule and noise around her had nothing to do with her.

Her eyes were fixed on the runes she was writing, and her focused expression was as if the whole world only consisted of her and the piece of paper waiting for the runes to shine.

The laughter from the audience continued, but the students of Lingtian College began to cheer for Gu Li loudly.

"Come on, Junior Sister! Ignore them!"

"You can do it for sure!"

Time passed minute by minute, Xi Zi Han stood aside, looking at Gu Li quietly.

At first, some people laughed at her for overestimating her abilities, but as time went on, they were surprised to find that Gu Li made no mistakes and moved quickly and smoothly.

The runes written by the pen seemed to have life and gradually took shape on the paper.

Finally, under the shocked gazes of everyone, a complete ninth-grade flame talisman gradually took shape.

The flame symbol flickered with a mysterious light, as if it contained endless power.

That light seemed to shine directly on the faces of those who once laughed at her, making them lower their heads in shame.

"Gu Li from Lingtian Academy enters the next round." The referee's voice sounded loudly, echoing throughout the competition venue.

Upon hearing this result, people had different reactions.

The students from other academies who had been paying close attention to the competition had complex expressions on their faces, including surprise, envy, and mostly numbness.

In this fierce rune competition, Gu Li and Xi Zihan's performances were simply too dazzling.

So much so that every time they heard their names being read out by the referee, everyone felt accustomed to it yet helpless.

There were already very few students who could draw ninth-grade runes. This difficult requirement was like a huge threshold that eliminated more than half of the contestants at once.

Those students who were originally standing on the stage with full confidence were now either dejected or annoyed. They walked off the stage reluctantly, their hearts filled with loss.

Those who stayed were grateful that they were able to pass this round of tests.

Only twenty people entered the third round, a number that seemed extremely small compared to the more than eighty people who initially participated in the competition.

Among these twenty people, only Gu Li and Xi Zihan are from Lingtian College.
