Let Me Enter the Finals

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Chen Mobai played with the talisman-drawing Spirit Brush in his hand. It was a brush with a bamboo tube handle, on which a very detailed bamboo sea picture was carved. A red tassel was also hanging from the end of the brush. The tip of the brush was like a cone, and the cylindrical head of the brush was round and full with even bristles.

As expected of a top-tier first-class item, the craftsmanship alone is exquisite.

I infused it with spiritual energy, dipped it in water, and tried out the brushstrokes on the table, but they were a bit difficult to control.

This is understandable, since it's only just been acquired and requires more practice.

After playing with the Green Bamboo Brush for half an hour, Chen Mobai put it into the pen box that had been delivered with it, and then picked up another woven bag.

The bag was casually tied with a Red String, and inside was a pound of Second Grade "Danzhu Spirit Sand".

Opening the bag, Chen Mobai took out five irregularly shaped, crimson Minerals of varying sizes. They were dark red in color, opaque yet crystalline, and when touched, one could feel the deep yet stable spiritual energy contained within Minerals.

I poured them out and looked at them carefully; there were two large pieces and three small pieces.

Holding it in his palm, if he didn't know that this was Danzhu Spirit Sand, Chen Mobai would have thought it was a stone that no one would pick up even if it was left on the roadside.

After thoroughly examining both items, Chen Mobai's initial excitement wore off. He put them away in his schoolbag, then diligently consumed a vial of Qi Replenishing Spirit Water and began practicing the Five Elements Technique.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Although Chen Mobai's fight against Gong Xiangyu was a tough one, he didn't expend much spiritual energy.

By the time the semi-finals arrived, he had fully recovered to his peak condition and felt that his spiritual power had improved after this period of Spell Duel.

"Old Chen, our whole class is here today."

Upon opening the door to his Cave Mansion, Chen Mobai saw his deskmate Lu Hongsheng, with class monitor Mo Simin beside him, as well as two beautiful girls sitting in front of him Pu Jiangxue and Yu Shu.

"The rest of the people are waiting over at the arena. We're here to accompany you so that those scoundrels from Yuheng High School won't waste your spiritual power on the way."

Lu Hongsheng was indignant when he heard about Chen Mobai being harassed by students from Yuheng High School.

"Don't worry, the senior students from the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy will escort me there."

Chen Mobai appreciated their kindness, but at this moment the Student Union who had escorted him also came over. Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu were also in the group. Lu Hongsheng and the others met their Array Formation formation teacher and greeted him again.

"Well, it's good that you're here. Let's go cheer for Chen Mobai together."

Although he was naturally low-key, at this moment, Chen Mobai could only let himself be surrounded by a large group of people and escorted from the entrance of the Cave Mansion all the way to the peak arena.

"Oh, Yan Bingxuan is here too."

Upon reaching the summit, Chen Mobai saw the beautiful Yan sitting on a stone bench and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Not only her, your girlfriend is here too."

Lu Hongsheng secretly tugged at Chen Mobai and pointed in another direction. Qing Nü, wearing a hat and mask, stood near the front of the arena. After they looked over, she squinted her eyes, smiled, and raised her hand to greet them.

How did you recognize this person?

To be honest, if Lu Hongsheng hadn't specifically pointed it out, Chen Mobai might not have been able to recognize Qing Nü in this kind of attire in the vast sea of people.

"I arrived here first this morning and saw Yan Bingxuan talking to her. I recognized her immediately."

"The two of them?"

Chen Mobai found it a bit strange.

I feel that Yan Bingxuan and Qing Nü should have absolutely nothing to talk about.

Just then, a cheer erupted, and the stern-faced Yan Feng flew up from below, bathed in the glow of the rising sun, making him appear almost radiant.

"So handsome!"

Many viewers who appreciate good looks were genuinely amazed by this scene.

"This is it!"

But when Chen Mobai saw this scene, he knew that he had won the Spell Duel.

Those at the Qi Refining stage cannot fly using Qi; the only way they can do so is by using a "Flight Talisman."

However, this "Flight Talisman" is still a first-grade high-quality Talisman. Even if it consumes very little spiritual power, it is still spiritual power.

Yan Feng used Flight Talisman to get up, which means his spiritual power wasn't at full strength from the start.

What might be a minor detail to others could not be noticed, was, in the eyes of Chen Mobai, a tactical master, a sign that the scales of victory were tipping in his favor.

A short while later, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing also came up.

Unlike Yan Feng, they didn't show off. They walked up the road quietly, surrounded by several students from the Second High School.

After all four of them arrived, they looked around and then chose to stand in three corners.

Just as they were waiting for the True Person Scarlet Robe and the representatives of the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai suddenly saw Qing Nü walk towards Kong Feichen and Yang Jing. This strange action immediately puzzled him.

After hesitating for a moment, he realized that Qing Nü seemed to know Kong Feichen and the others, and they were even greeting each other with smiles and laughter.

Chen Mobai couldn't stand still any longer and walked over as well.

"Why did you come here too?"

Upon arriving, Chen Mobai pretended to have just seen Qing Nü and greeted her happily.

"I'm here to cheer you three on."

Qing Nü smiled and said to the three of them, leaving Chen Mobai, Kong Feichen Yang Jing completely bewildered.

How did you two meet? Just then, the True Person Scarlet Robe flew over with representatives from the Daoist Academy. After landing, he waved his hand.

"Let's not waste any more time, let's begin. The first matchup in the upper bracket will start today."

After announcing the semi-final matchups, the True Person Scarlet Robe Master sat down with a cheerful smile.

Kong Feichen and Yang Jing exchanged a glance and then greeted Qing Nü at the same time.

"Sister, let's go up first."

At the referee's signal, they stepped onto the specially reinforced and widened ring.

"The rules remain the same as before."

After saying this, the referee turned his back, jumped up, and landed below the ring, handing the stage over to the two.

Kong Feichen was still pondering how Qing Nü and Chen Mobai met and what their relationship was.

He casually picked up a "Great Wind Talisman".

According to their previous plan, Yang Jing would admit defeat.

The fact that they were releasing water could not be kept secret from the True Person Scarlet Robe and the representatives of the Daoist Academy, so the two decided to be more direct.

He released a Talisman, which blew Yang Jing directly out of the arena.

The "Great Wind Talisman" was activated, and a whirlwind of azure air blew in front of Yang Jing, making her close-fitting black long shirt and trousers rustle, further emphasizing her height, long legs, and curvaceous figure. The wide-brimmed round hat on her head had to be pressed down with her hand to prevent it from being blown away.

Just as Kong Feichen was about to watch her leave the stage, Yang Jing suddenly raised her head and waved her hand to disperse the "Great Wind Talisman" that came in front of her.

"How about I make it to the finals?"

She suddenly said something that made Kong Feichen's eyes widen.
