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

The rune competition continues.

"The third round, the top-grade primary soul-summoning talisman." As the referee's loud voice rang out, everyone in the field instantly became excited again.

Almost at the moment when the voice fell, Gu Li opened the book that Xi Zihan gave her.

Those who noticed her action all looked speechless.

They were secretly wondering in their hearts, is this Gu Li a rune master?

How come I have never seen so many runes before?

However, despite being full of doubts and dissatisfaction, they had to admit that Gu Li did not violate the rules by flipping through books in public.

After all, if runes could be drawn just by looking at them, then wouldn't everyone be able to become a rune master?

"Xi Zihan from Lingtian College advances to the next round." The referee's voice sounded again, clear and powerful.

The other disciples who were concentrating on drawing runes were not surprised at all when they heard the news.

They seemed to have long been accustomed to such results, as if it was natural for the disciples of Lingtian Academy to enter the next round.

The second one must be from Lingtian College.

As expected, just as everyone was thinking this, the referee announced: "Gu Li from Lingtian College enters the next round."

This result was just as they expected. See, they said it must be from Lingtian College again.

Gu Li didn't care about the reactions of the people around her. She didn't look at other people's refining results, but picked up the rune she had just refined and examined it carefully.

Spirit-attracting talisman.

After activation, it can attract the surrounding spiritual energy, and its effect is similar to that of a spirit gathering array.

But the difference is that the spirit gathering array fixes the spiritual energy within a range, while the spirit-calling talisman is attached to the body after being activated. No matter where you go, you can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, and the higher the grade, the better the effect.

Gu Li stared at the spirit-summoning talisman in his hand, secretly wondering whether he should get a batch for the Gu family disciples.

In the future, they can go out and gain experience to speed up their cultivation.

An hour later, time passed quietly in the tense atmosphere.

Some people also drew the runes one after another. Those who succeeded had gratified smiles on their faces, while those who failed were frustrated. They were all regarded as failures.

In the end, exactly ten people made it into the top ten.

"Next, everyone will play freely. The ranking will be determined by the level of the runes." The referee's voice sounded again, injecting new vitality into the competition.

Gu Li fell into deep thought.

She knew that this round of competition was crucial and would determine her final ranking in the Rune Master Competition.

She carefully recalled every detail of her experience in learning runes, thinking about what kind of runes she should refine in order to stand out in this fierce competition.

Finally, she decided to make the Exploding Rune, which was the first rune she drew after learning runes.

The highest she could draw was top-grade high-level runes, while Xi Zihan herself was at the level of a holy item.

Gu Li didn’t want to compete for the first place for the time being, since Xi Zihan was also from Lingtian College.

But you can still try the primary level of holy products.

She did not refine it immediately, but quietly observed the situation around her.

Xi Zi Han did the same as her and first observed the level of runes refined by others.

At this time, in the audience seats at the competition venue, Dean Xiao, Elder Xi, and the students of Lingtian College were all looking at them nervously.

Elder Xi frowned, his face full of worry. He looked at Gu Li and Xi Zihan who were slow to take action, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"Why haven't they started yet? Can't they refine it?"

Feng Wuhen glanced at him calmly and said calmly, "They want to see the level of runes refined by others first, and then decide what level of runes to refine."

Elder Xi was very upset after hearing what Feng Wuhen said.

"That's a bit too arrogant!"

Seeing Elder Xi's reaction, Mu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh: "Elder Xi, after the actual combat competition and the beast taming competition, why do you still not trust us? When have we ever failed?"

Elder Xi was embarrassed when he heard her words. "That's because I've never seen you do this before!"

Lin Yuchen also joined the conversation, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face: "How dare you say that? You locked us up as soon as we entered the academy. We finally escaped and came here directly after completing the mission. You didn't use any of the academy's resources, and you got so many places. No matter what, there must be places for the six of us."

Elder Xi looked at Lin Yuchen and felt a little guilty, as if it was indeed the case.

"You are still young. It won't be too late to enter the Tongtian Secret Realm after you grow up in a few years." Elder Xi tried to persuade them.

It would be such a pity if such a good seedling died in the Tongtian Secret Realm.

After hearing what Elder Xi said, Su Yiyun smiled disdainfully.

"Haven't we grown enough? With our abilities, we are almost ready to graduate. We might even be able to ascend to the heavens in the next class. Who would still care about that little world?"

Hearing his words, Elder Xi couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Ascension? It is not that easy to ascend. Even the top strong men on the continent dare not say when they will ascend.

Before Elder Xi could say anything else, Dean Xiao at the side spoke up.

"Okay, you don't have to fight for the spots, everyone has one." Dean Xiao promised them in a firm and powerful voice.

After hearing what Dean Xiao said, Elder Xi hurriedly said, "Dean Xiao, the inner court will not agree to this."

Dean Xiao smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with pride. "If you don't agree, then skip a grade! It's a good opportunity to let those old guys in the inner courtyard see that we in the outer courtyard also have geniuses."

As the dean of the Foreign Affairs College, he can recommend a few people to skip grades.

Besides, the dean has seen their performance and might be thinking about how to bring them to the inner courtyard for training.

If all else fails, he feels that the old man in the inner courtyard still owes him a favor and it's time to repay it.

After hearing what President Xiao said, Elder Xi was speechless for a moment.

He knew that what Dean Xiao said made sense, but he was still a little worried about the reaction of the inner court.

The dean did have other thoughts in mind at this time.

On the competition stage, Gu Li had almost finished observing.

She found that most people were drawing top-quality intermediate runes, and only two people were drawing top-quality advanced runes.

She secretly calculated in her heart that if she wanted to take second place, she would have to draw the primary runes of the holy items to be on the safe side.

She changed from her previous leisurely look and her expression became focused and solemn.

She took out the talisman paper and the blood of a high-level holy beast and began to draw according to the steps.

With each stroke, she needed to control the force of the brush and the intensity of her mental power. Any carelessness could lead to the failure of the rune.

Gu Li's eyes were fixed on the talisman paper, and the pen in his hand was dancing on the paper like a lively elf.

She concentrated her mental power highly, feeling the fluctuations of spiritual energy around her and integrating them into the runes she drew.

Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of her forehead, but she did not relax at all and continued to draw the runes with concentration.
