Chapter 473: Four hundred seventy-one, Competition (4)

"Who do you think will win this time?"

"It has to be Ma Qiuying from Falling Leaf Sword Sect, she’s a famous Talisman Crafting Grandmaster in Tianchi Country."

"I think Li Yuyang from Qingfeng Academy could also possibly take the crown."

"And that Mo Lixu, I heard he’s a very formidable Talisman Crafting Grandmaster as well."

"Hasn’t Mo Lixu joined the Upper Pavilion? It looks like the Upper Pavilion is about to make a comeback."

"Isn’t that the truth! The Upper Pavilion already secured first place before. If they win first place again this time, it really would be a turnabout for them."

"That Luo Shu who got first place last time is also competing in this round, what do you guys think, will she win again?"

"It’s unlikely, standing out in one field is already quite remarkable, how could she possibly win first place again."

Seeing the grey-robed elder taking the stage with the results, the people who were discussing hurriedly quieted down.

Smiling at the crowd, the grey-robed elder cleared his throat and said, "I will now announce the names of the top ten contestants in this competition."

"Tenth place, Zhou Changhong, Mysterious-order Level Nine Water Control Talisman, top quality, scored 8.5 points."

"Ninth place, Yao Dingchuan, Earth-Rank Level One Formation Breaking Talisman, top quality, scored 8.6 points."

"Eighth place..."

"..."

"Fourth place, Li Yuyang, Earth-Rank Level Eight Thundercloud Talisman, top quality, scored 9.3 points."

Li Yuyang, upon hearing he had only won fourth place, his expression instantly fell. He had thought that if he didn’t win first place, second place was still entirely within reach, but he didn’t even make it into the top three.

"Waste of space!" Several elders of Qingfeng Academy’s faces turned ugly at once. If Luo Shu were not there, they could have accepted fourth place and even thought it was pretty good. But the problem was, they had hoped their decision to drive Luo Shu away because of Li Yuyang was the right one. But the cruel reality was such that they had lost a watermelon whilst picking up a sesame seed. How could they possibly accept such a result willingly?

"Third place, Mo Lixu, Earth-Rank Level Nine Blizzard Talisman, mid-quality, scored 9.5 points."

"Second place, Ma Qiuying, Heaven-order First Level Sand Dust Talisman, top quality, scored 9.8 points."

"Ma Qiuying is really amazing! She even managed to craft a Heaven-order Talisman."

"If Ma Qiuying is only second, who on earth is first place? It’s really exciting!" The crowd looked expectantly at the grey-robed elder on the stage, waiting for him to announce the result.

"Luo Shu is going to shock everyone again, hahaha..."

"Our Upper Pavilion is truly in the spotlight this time." The people from Upper Pavilion had already guessed the outcome, for they had all seen Luo Shu crafting talismans. Even though the talismans she crafted were not Heaven-order level, they were certain it was her.

"The first place is taken by Luo Shu of Upper Pavilion, with her Top-Quality Heaven-order First Level Illusionary Spirit Talisman."

As soon as the words of the grey-robed elder fell, there was another uproar throughout the venue. Everyone’s eyes converged on Luo Shu. Was she some kind of monster? Two first places, could a person really achieve this?

Li Yuyang looked at Luo Shu with a face stricken by deep impact, shaking his head continuously, "Impossible! How could this be possible? This can’t be real!" How could she be so powerful? It just can’t be true.

"How about that? Feel pretty defeated don’t you? That’s right! Hahaha..." Mo Lixu mockingly said this, laughing as he walked past Li Yuyang. Every time Li Yuyang won in the past, he used to mock and ridicule Mo Lixu. Now, he had finally found his chance.

"You!" Li Yuyang bit down on his teeth, fists clenched, if not for the inappropriate venue, he would have charged at him already, "We’ll see about that!"

"I’ll be waiting!" Mo Lixu retorted with a cold laugh.

As Luo Shu was about to step down from the stage, a woman in a red dress blocked her way. She knew this person was Ma Qiuying, the second-placer of the competition. The level of the talismans Ma had crafted was just a bit lower than hers, and if it hadn’t been for her all-out attempt this time, she might not have won this second round.

"Is there something you need?" Luo Shu asked with a light smile.

"I lost this time, but next time I will definitely beat you!" Ma Qiuying challenged Luo Shu with a confrontational look. The word ’defeat’ was not in her dictionary, and she had thought she would be the first this time, but to her surprise, she ended up losing to Luo Shu, this unknown figure. This made her very dissatisfied in her heart.

"I’m looking forward to it!" Luo Shu replied with a smile. She didn’t consider herself invincible. While effort played a part in her current achievements, opportunity played an even greater role. She felt lucky because she went to the True Cultivation World first. Otherwise, she would have lost her lifetime.

Ma Qiuying was a respectable opponent; she and her strength were both at the Nascent Soul Peak. The two of them were equal in their Talisman Crafting skills as well, and Luo Shu enjoyed this feeling of meeting a match and was even more looking forward to a battle with her.

"Luo Shu, you are so amazing! I just love you to death!" Seeing Luo Shu walk down the stage, Yi Xueying rushed up to her excitedly.

The rest of the people from Upper Pavilion also surrounded her. Luo Shu was their hero, and now that she had returned in triumph, how could they not be exhilarated?

"In my whole life, I’ve never felt this glorious. Those people looking at us, their eyes are all filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!"

"Luo Shu, you really are our hero, no, heroine, hahaha..."

The Nascent Soul Elder watched Luo Shu, surrounded by the crowd, and wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. Upper Pavilion had finally raised its eyebrows and breathed out in relief!

When everyone returned to the Flying Cloud Hotel, a Golden Core Mid Stage cultivator greeted them with a broad smile, "Dear guests! Our hotel has rearranged rooms for you, let me take you to have a look now." The hotel had already heard the news of Upper Pavilion’s consecutive championships. It was unexpected that such a rubbish sect could have a day when they turned things around.

"No need, we’re quite comfortable where we are now," the Nascent Soul Elder said with a smile and a wave of his hand. He had never cared about accommodations.

"Why don’t you follow me and have a look first, and if it’s unsatisfactory, then I will rearrange it for you," the Golden Core Mid Stage cultivator said cheerfully. He had orders from above that no matter what, the rooms needed to be changed, especially Luo Shu’s room, which required special arrangements.

Seeing that the Nascent Soul Elder was about to decline again, Yi Xueying hastened to tug at his sleeve and made a sign with her eyes, "Elder Yang, this is the hotel’s goodwill towards us. Under normal circumstances, we can’t enjoy this, we mustn’t let it go to waste, let’s go!"

The Nascent Soul Elder suddenly realized. That’s right! The reason they were enjoying such treatment was all because of Luo Shu. Since Luo Shu had not declined, it would seem rather overbearing if he did.

He looked towards Luo Shu and smiled at her.

Luo Shu also smiled back. As for the accommodations, she was likewise indifferent, but having a room to herself would benefit her Cultivation recovery. Moreover, it would be more convenient for her to stay in touch with Hanmo and the others. She wondered whether Hanmo’s communication talisman had been repaired yet.
