Born of the Same Root, Why Be So Eager to Harm Each Other?

Basic Talisman, as the name suggests, not only have basic power, but their runes are also the foundation of almost all Talisman in the same category.

Even the most advanced Talisman are all derived from basic runes.

Therefore, strictly speaking, a Basic Talisman can be processed into almost any Talisman of the same type.

But this is only in theory.

Although the Talisman drawn by different people are generally the same due to their different personal habits, they are all different in subtle details.

Not to mention, once Talisman is made, the spiritual energy within it forms a closed loop to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out and to extend the Talisman's effective lifespan.

A Talisman created by a master Talisman can maintain its power for up to a hundred years.

Once the spiritual energy within the Talisman forms its own cycle, external spiritual energy can no longer be added to it, otherwise it will damage the overall structure of the Talisman and cause Talisman to explode.

The reason why the Talismans Cultivator was able to instantly upgrade the power of the Basic Talisman in his hand to that of Advanced Talisman was not only because of his superb talisman-making skills and the fact that he could draw the talisman in one go, but also because the Talisman in his hand was made by himself.

In addition, the other party did not completely finish making that Talisman, but left a trick up their sleeve at the end.

This would cause the spiritual energy within the Talisman to leak out, requiring it to be replenished periodically, but it would also give the Talisman the potential for advancement.

Although this combat method of Talismans Cultivator is a bit cumbersome and far less convenient and faster than directly using a staff to cast spells, it allows them to use Talisman to cast advanced spells that their own abilities are not yet sufficient to cast.

Theoretically speaking, if the skill level in talisman making is high enough, then even a child from the Lower Academy can cast advanced spells.

Of course, this is only in theory, since learning Talisman is by no means simple.

Compared to the amazing performances of the body cultivators and Talismans Cultivator Bell, the performance of the Arrays Cultivator was somewhat disappointing.

A third-year student from the Upper Academy slowly took out an array plate from his pocket and poured spiritual energy into it.

The activated array plate emitted a dazzling red light, and then a firebird flew out from it, crashing into the Test Boulder and stirring up a scorching wave of fire.

While the power of that attack was considerable, no less than that of the other testers, the question remains... does this really not count as cheating?!

"No, this is okay?"

Bell was shocked. Even he wouldn't dare to cheat so blatantly!

Cheating is one thing, but at least try to cover it up, at least give the gentlemen a way out.

Such an upright and honest act is truly hard to ignore!

"The ability of Arrays Cultivator cultivators to fight head-on is the worst. Those who choose to study arrays are mostly students who do not like fighting."

Therefore, the Academy will also take care of students who study formations to a certain extent.

For example, in today's test, the Arrays Cultivator was able to use the array plate that had been prepared in advance.

Other students are prohibited from preparing in advance.

But don't underestimate Arrays Cultivator because of this.

Not to mention that because their numbers are relatively small, they are highly sought-after talents by various forces.

It is said that once Arrays Cultivator's formation skills break through a certain critical point and they are able to quickly set up formations in battle, their strength will undergo a dramatic change.

If one is careless and the array master Arrays Cultivator the setup, even Cultivator one or two levels stronger could potentially be defeated.

Ma Jingjing continued to diligently serve as the commentator.

"!? Hey, Senior Ma, you're still here?"

Bell looked at Ma Jingjing in surprise.

He thought the other person had already left.

Ma Jingjing rolled her eyes at Bell and said:

"What? Can't I stay here? Am I interfering with your flirting with your girlfriend?"

Just kidding, Ma Jingjing is at least a beautiful, energetic, and invincible young woman, okay?

There must be countless people in the Academy who want to stand next to her... Well, actually, there aren't that many.

The main reason is that when she was vying for the position of Student Council President of the Upper Academy, she was a little bit too ruthless, which is why people who are not familiar with her would avoid her.

But putting aside all these messy factors, she has been doing her best to explain things to Bell and the others since last night. Even if she hasn't made any great contributions, she has certainly put in a lot of hard work!

And now this little foreign devil dares to discard me after I've served my purpose!?

she...

"No! Senior Ma, how could that be?"

"I thought you'd already gone to prepare for the test, since it's already the third-year students' turn to the Upper Academy."

Bell said with a smile.

He also tightened his grip on Hermione's hand, thwarting Hermione's attempt to distance herself from him after being teased by Ma Jingjing.

"Hmph! It's just a simple test, what's there to prepare for?"

Besides, the Student Council President are tested last, so it'll be a while before it's my turn.

Ma Jingjing glanced at Bell, it was unclear whether she believed Bell's explanation.

Although Ma Jingjing spoke casually, when it was actually her turn to be tested, the murderous aura emanating from her body completely betrayed any trace of her previous nonchalance.

Ma Jingjing raised her Sword Finger and, with a soft shout, drew her long sword from her waist.

Then, flames suddenly appeared on the longsword. After circling around Ma Jingjing for a while to gather power, the scorching flames formed a dragon shape and rushed towards the Test Boulder.

Click!

A barely audible cracking sound was heard.

As the firelight faded, everyone was astonished to see that the exceptionally solid boulder had been vertically split in two, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting one's image up close.

Sheathed her sword and walked back with Ma Jingjing head held high.

Although she couldn't turn the entire Test Boulder to ashes, she didn't think she was any less capable Bell.

She is Sword Cultivator, and her motto is to break through One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws. Concentrating all her attack power on one point is what she should be doing.

She can't and won't use the kind of attack that Bell uses.

Looking at Ma Jingjing, whose eyes were filled with provocation for some reason, Bell couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Speaking of which, this Senior Ma, could it be... that she doesn't have any friends?!"

Otherwise, why would she come back to their group? Has she become addicted to being a commentator?

Just kidding, not everyone in this world is named Jordan (Hogwarts Quidditch Match commentator), and there aren't any exciting Quidditch Match to commentate on here.

Therefore, there is only one truth! Ma Jingjing has no friends in the Academy!

So how exactly did this Senior Ma end up like this?

"Bell, completely oblivious to his own shortcomings," he thought with a hint of schadenfreude.
