Shock! Shuya Saw It...!
First, he drew the Vermilion Bird's head.
Shuya brought his brush down and sketched a circle.
But when the brush actually touched the paper, the circle that should have been smooth and round came out lopsided and polygonal.
"..."
Shuya fell silent.
Li Shuhong's mouth twitched. He almost burst out laughing.
Shuya continued, drawing the bird's belly.
It should have been a long, imposing belly, but his hand shook as he drew, giving the bird a beer gut.
"..."
Li Shuhong covered his mouth, shaking with laughter.
Next.
Shuya drew a pair of wings, but his hand was trembling so badly that they looked like a pair of plucked chicken wings.
"Hahahaha!"
Li Shuhong burst into delighted laughter.
Shuya: "..."
He silently added the Talisman Foot. The Vermilion Bird's legs twisted as if they were broken.
Shuya stared in complete silence at the work he'd poured all his effort into.
A freak of nature...
"What the hell is this... Drawing talismans is way too hard."
Every stroke involved in drawing a Talisman required him to maintain the balance of his Power of Will, while also communicating with the enormous gathering of Power of Will in the outside world and siphoning off its strength.
It wasn't as simple as it looked. It wasn't just drawing; the pressure was immense.
Just like Shuya a moment ago, he was constantly enduring the impact of the enormous Power of Will around him. Maintaining the balance of his own Power of Will under such pressure was incredibly difficult.
It wasn't until yesterday that Shuya had finally managed to draw a barely usable Vermilion Bird Fire Talisman.
"Since you've drawn it, why not give it a try?"
Li Shuhong had decided to laugh at him all the way to the end.
"Fine."
