Chapter 2806: Talisman Practitioner's Challenge

2806 Talisman Practitioner's Challenge

That's why, after careful consideration, the Cultivation Hall appeared to be the most ideal choice. In the future, she and her companions would have the opportunity to embark on new experiences together.

Qiao Mu maintained an impassive expression as she made her way toward the new student group at the Cultivation Hall.

Everyone present respectfully stepped aside, their eyes filled with reverence.

/You've got to be kidding. No one wanted to provoke someone capable of summoning a giant sand scorpion at will./

Qiao Mu paid little heed to their attitudes. She joined her teammates, including Little Fatty, and took her place.

Qi Xuanxuan was brimming with excitement. She grasped Qiao Mu's petite hands and exclaimed, "This is wonderful! We can cultivate and have fun together again!"

The emphasis was on the "fun" part, right? Little Fatty and the others silently added in their minds.

Qiao Mu nodded, her petite head tilting slightly, and her large, misty eyes formed a gentle curve. Just as she was about to speak, a high-pitched voice resonated above the training ground.

"I've heard that a group of new talisman practitioners has arrived at the academy! I, Jin Chaoyang, am here to challenge them! Who among you dares to accept my challenge?"

The Saint of Miyan stood by the Dean's side, and upon hearing this voice, he casually curled his lips upward.

/Here it comes.../

Dean Yun furrowed his brow and promptly declined, "Today is not the day for friendly competitions. If you wish to challenge, please wait for another suitable occasion..."

"Dean! I'm very eager to witness the exceptional abilities of these new talisman practitioners. Are the Pundits and mentors unwilling to showcase their talents?" Jin Chaoyang had already arrived in front of the group in a swift motion.

Duanmu Qing casually cast a glance at the person and remarked, "He appears youthful, but he's probably in his early fifties."

Qiao Mu and Qi Xuanxuan were left in disbelief.

"You mean he couldn't graduate even by the age of 50?" Qi Xuanxuan exclaimed.

Little Fatty pursed his lips and remarked, "Maybe he just recently joined the academy. After all, the Imperial Academy welcomes talent without imposing age restrictions!"

After some consideration, the two girls nodded in agreement with Little Fatty.

"Qiaoqiao, be cautious. I have a feeling this person might have you in his sights," Duanmu Qing cautioned automatically as he noticed Jin Chaoyang's intent gaze drifting toward them.

Lu Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I think we should tread carefully with this Jin Chaoyang."

"I heard there are two talisman practitioners from the Divine Province among the new recruits this time!" Jin Chaoyang laughed as he inquired, "Could you tell me where these two talisman practitioners are?"

Mu Rouxuan hadn't expected to be the focus of attention. She hesitated momentarily, then stepped forward from the crowd and said, "I am Mu Rouxuan. Greetings to you, Senior Brother."

"Hahahahaha!" Jin Chaoyang nodded enthusiastically. "Excellent, excellent! You've got courage, but what about your strength? Little Junior Sister, let's set a limit of three attack talismans and three regular talismans. If you can withstand my three attack talismans and three regular talismans, you win!"

"Some time ago, Brother Jin Chaoyang hails from the Ultramarine Province. He belonged to the Qi Clan, a renowned talisman practitioner family in the Ultramarine Province. However, he somehow had a falling out with his family and has been on his own ever since," someone nearby shared Jin Chaoyang's backstory with enthusiasm, sparking curiosity among the onlookers.

"It seems Jin Chaoyang has reached the perfected level of a yellow-level great talisman practitioner, surpassing the yellow-level great talisman practitioner proficient level!"

This revelation sent shockwaves through the surrounding crowd.
