Spell Duel Rules

"As you all know, the theme of this year's entrance exam is Spell Duel!"

"After the Cutoff Score are released, the rules are also sent to all the universities. I will explain them in detail now, so please take notes."

" In the Spell Duel, only spells are allowed; elixirs, magical Magic Artifact, and even Array Formation are prohibited. Of course, in order to test combat talent and to create more possibilities and opportunities for the weak to defeat the strong during the Spell Duel, the representatives of the Dao Academy and the Imperial Academy, after discussion, have allowed each student participating in the entrance examination to use Talisman."

Upon hearing this, the 18 students at the Qi Cultivation Level 6, who had previously been listless, instantly perked up and stared wide-eyed at the principal's next words on the podium.

Even Chen Mobai's eyes lit up.

Although he was very confident in himself, he felt that if he faced an opponent at the Qi Cultivation Level 8 or Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer of Qi Refining and fought purely with spells, he would not have a high chance of winning.

But if he could use Talisman, he felt he could sweep everyone away.

After all, he is now considered an excellent Talisman trader. When Spell Duel, he carries about a hundred talismans in his pocket, and prepares two more Second Grade Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman. Even that Gong Xiangyu should be able to be killed by it.

"Principal, wouldn't that just benefit those rich people?"

"Yes, we are just ordinary families. We can't even afford a Second Grade Talisman. What's the difference between this and allowing the use of Magic Artifact Array Formation?"

"If it were those rich kids who came out with a hundred or so Talisman in their pockets, we wouldn't even need to fight, we'd just surrender."

Hearing the complaints from his classmates in the classroom, Chen Mobai felt a little ashamed of his earlier thoughts.

Yes, winning by spending money like this goes against the original purpose of the entrance exam.

That's so unfair.

"Don't worry, allowing the use of Talisman is precisely to give ordinary students like you a chance to overcome stronger opponents."

"The use of Talisman is naturally not Infinity. The Dao Academy and the Imperial Academy have imposed restrictions. During Spell Duel, one first-grade high-rank Talisman, two first-grade mid-rank Talisman, and four Grade 1 Low Rank Talisman are permitted to be used."

"If you want to achieve good results, the combination of these Talisman is crucial. Ideally, they should be systematic and without any obvious flaws."

After He Jingshan finished speaking, the crowd immediately began to discuss which Talisman would be the most powerful in combat, or which would be best suited to their cultivation technique.

Chen Mobai listened for a moment and discovered that half of the students at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer had already transformed their Five Elements Technique and were cultivating other techniques suitable for their Spiritual Root and physiques. These people already had clear goals, since the attributes of their cultivation techniques determined which Talisman would be most powerful for them.

Those who are still practicing the Five Elements Technique have a wider range of choices. They can build or mix and match the Five Elements system, making them less vulnerable to being targeted in Spell Duel.

However, the Five Elements Technique's Adaptive Spiritual Power is balanced and harmonious, which may prevent it from unleashing the full power of a first-grade high-level Talisman.

It has both advantages and disadvantages.

"Alright, I've finished speaking. Now, fill out your application forms and I'll give you some advice."

He Jingshan pointed with his right hand, and the volunteer forms on the podium flew onto everyone's desks.

"By the way, after you finish filling out the form, if you have any ideas about Talisman, you can also consult me and these four teachers from the school. We have one person on duty at the school from Monday to Friday, so you can come and ask questions."

He Jingshan picked up the chalk and wrote the names of the four teachers on the blackboard.

Chen Mobai glanced at the list and realized he only recognized Ding Jinglue. However, the other three were all teachers who taught magic courses to first and second-year high school students, and their expertise in Talisman was trustworthy.

However, even if he were to ask, he would definitely ask Ding Jinglue or He Jingshan, since the former was his teacher and the latter was Foundation Establishment Cultivator, clearly of higher caliber.

With that in mind, Chen Mobai finished filling out his three college applications.

He wrote Goumang Dao Academy as his first choice. Although the Cutoff Score for the Four Great Dao Academies is the usual 350 points, it would be a waste not to fill it in anyway. What if there are special circumstances and he is admitted?

Those are the Four Great Dao Academies.

Chen Mobai glanced at Song Zheng and found that he had also filled in the Sky Mending Dao Academy. Looking around, he saw that Mo Simin had also chosen the Wuqi Dao Academy as her first choice.

Only Yan Bingxuan, who did not take the College Entrance Exam, has been admitted to the Natural Academy without filling out an application form.

It seems everyone thinks the same way. But this is a little trick for filling out college applications that our homeroom teacher taught us. Anyway, there are three choices, and this is how we use the first choice.

As for why Chen Mobai chose Goumang Dao Academy among the Four Great Dao Academies, it was mainly because Qing Nü had already been recommended to go there. If he was lucky enough to get in, he would also have a friend he knew to study with.

For the second choice, there's no need to think twice: Pure Yang Academy.

My third choice was Supreme Origin Academy.

After Chen Mobai finished filling out the forms, he waited for a while, and then He Jingshan collected everyone's forms.

He looked at each person one by one, and those whose names were called went up on stage.

Some students are too greedy; even though their scores aren't high enough, they insist on choosing the school they want. In these cases, He Jingshan will ask them to change their choices. Others are too conservative...

Soon it was Chen Mobai's turn.

"Well, with your score, you're basically guaranteed admission to the Pure Yang Academy. Work hard there and strive to reach the Core Formation in the future, bringing glory to your alma mater."

He Jingshan spoke kindly to the Top of the School, and his words caused many people below to change their expressions slightly.

Chen Mobai was not like Shi Yuanqing and others who were already well-known. Many people were still skeptical of his sudden emergence as the number one.

Chen Mobai completely ignored this.

It wasn't that he looked down on these people; it was simply that none of them were as skilled as him. Even against those three at the Qi Cultivation Level 8, Chen Mobai felt he had a very good chance of winning if they could use Talisman.

He sat quietly in his seat and waited until He Jingshan finished reviewing everyone's volunteer applications.

"Let's go."

After the meeting, he stood up and waved to Yan Bingxuan.

Mo Simin, standing to the side, opened her mouth wide, seemingly a little confused. Didn't she just say in class that the two of you were just classmates? Why does her tone and actions seem a bit off?

"Simin, come along too."

Compared to Chen Mobai's lack of discretion, Yan Bingxuan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the class monitor to act as a shield. The three of them went to eat together, which would definitely reduce the gossip.

"Why don't you come along too, Lao Song?"

Chen Mobai has a little money now, so he doesn't mind treating two more people to a meal.

"I'm not going."

Song Zheng simply said two words and then left the classroom.

"He seems to dislike you a lot?"

Chen Mobai sensed it keenly and asked Yan Bingxuan.

"When he was in the first and second years of high school, he never won against me in magic practice class. I beat him a lot, and that's how it was."

Yan Bingxuan said nonchalantly that her Spiritual Root talent was better than Song Zheng's. She had always been the top student in the class, but after she started practicing the Frost Condensation Method in her senior year of high school, her cultivation level was delayed, and the latter caught up with her.
