"Now, allow me to announce the rules of the competition!"
Fu Chen cleared his throat and continued, "You will have to refine three talismans. There will be three rounds of competition, and each round will require you to produce a talisman. In the first round, four participants will be eliminated, and the top six will be selected. In the second round, the top three will be selected, and in the third round, the champion will be determined."
"In this Talisman Gathering, we can only refine offensive Talismans. Moreover, we need three different offensive Talismans. We will rank them according to the strength of their attacks. The time limit for refining the Talismans is one hour. If we do not refine three Talismans within one hour, we will be disqualified."
This competition was definitely a test of the sealing artist's strength. If they wanted to become the champion, they would have to bring out their strongest strength. If there was even the slightest mistake, which would cause the seal's power to decrease greatly, it would affect their results.
Hearing Fu Chen's old voice that resounded through the sky, the ten participants' blood started to boil.
"In order to ensure that the competition goes smoothly, I hope that the crowd will remain quiet and not discuss among themselves. Now, all ten participants, step onto the seal platform!"
In an instant, the ten figures flew towards the seal platform that was floating in mid-air.
Ye Mo stood on the seal stage and took a deep breath. He had originally planned to have Ling 'er lend him a hand during the competition. But now that Ling' er wasn't here, he could only rely on his own methods to win the competition.
"Among these ten people, other than Fu Si and Yan Lingyan, the other old men are also very powerful. Their experience is definitely not something that ordinary people can compare to. It seems like it won't be that easy to win the championship."
Just as Ye Mo was muttering to himself, the sound of gongs and drums echoed in the air.
"Competition, begin!"
Cultivating three seals within one hour would be a bit of a challenge for ordinary people. But for the participants, it was not much of a challenge. Even if they failed once or twice, it would not matter.
The moment they stepped onto the seal platform, Fu Si, who was the first to enter the Seal Clan, took out 10 heart-stones under the watchful eyes of the crowd. There were two heart-stones of each of the five elements.
"Fu Si was the first to enter the Talisman Sect, yet he was able to kill ten Rank 8 Talisman Spirits."
Originally, they thought that with Fu Si's proficiency in the art of talismans, he would definitely collect three or four talismans. They didn't expect him to collect ten beast cores.
"That Fu Si really has some tricks up his sleeve!"
Ye Mo sighed as he watched the scene unfold before him. With 10 seals, Fu Si could easily refine quite a few seals and choose the three most powerful ones from them.
The second skinny old man, Old Man Fu Xin, also took out ten Beast Cores.
The next few people also took out a dozen or so beast cores.
The woman in the black bamboo hat also stretched out a slightly old arm and took out three Class 8 Beast Cores.
This scene caused many people to be shocked. After all, this black bamboo hat lady was the third person to enter the Symbol Sect. Yet, she only took out three beast cores. Could it be that she was extremely confident in her sealing techniques? If she failed even once, she would be completely disqualified from the competition.
Ye Mo looked at the bamboo hat lady lazily and was also slightly surprised. She only collected three beast cores, and was the third person to enter the Seal Clan. It seemed like this person was a powerful sealing artist.
Next, Ye Mo took out the 13 heart-stones. Twelve of them were rank eight heart-stones. Among them, there was one heart-stone whose size and color were completely different from the other rank eight heart-stones. The appearance of this heart-stone completely overshadowed all the other heart-stones, causing them to lose their luster.
"Wow!"
Seeing the seal platform appear, the crowd in the square immediately burst into an uproar. Numerous shocked gazes looked at the beast core in front of Ye Mo. It was a Rank 9 beast core that was above Class 8. Moreover, it was a beast core with a special mark. In other words, Ye Mo had killed a Divine Realm beast core.
"How is this possible?"
Looking at the Rank 9 beast core in front of Ye Mo, Fu Si was also shocked. Putting aside the fact that Ye Mo could refine a Rank 9 beast core, the fact that he could kill a Divine Realm seal spirit was enough to make him feel incredulous.
He knew Ye Mo's strength and the battle strength of the Seventh Cycle Transformation Realm. But compared to the Divine Realm, there was still an unbridgeable gap. Even if the Divine Realm seal spirit stood there for him to attack, he wouldn't be able to kill it.
As for the other eight people, they were also shocked. Could it be that Ye Mo was the last person to enter the Seal Clan because he wanted to collect Rank 9 beast cores?
I heard that this Ye Mo has extraordinary skills. If he spoils my plan, I'll definitely make him suffer a fate worse than death, the bamboo hat lady thought to herself.
Although she had absolute confidence in her sealing techniques, no matter how strong she was, she could only refine Rank 8 seals. If Ye Mo was to refine Rank 9 seals, it would be very difficult for her to win the competition.
However, among everyone present, other than Fu Chen, no one knew better than her how difficult it was to refine a rank 9 talisman.
"As expected of a genius of the Lingwu Continent. I can see the shadow of Mu Longwu. If he wins the competition, he might be able to force her to reveal herself."
Fu Chen smiled faintly and didn't say anything else. He had thrown out such a huge temptation for this Seal Gathering just to lure out the evil Seal Master behind him.
With all the beast cores taken out and the seal papers by his side, everything was ready. Ye Mo's expression gradually turned serious. Although he didn't need the evil Ling 'er anymore, he had already come this far. If he didn't give it a try, he would be letting himself down.
This time, he was going to refine four seals. Three Rank 8 Tier Nine seals would ensure his victory, and one Rank 9 Tier One Tier Nine seal would allow him to win by surprise.
Because Ye Mo couldn't guarantee that he would be able to successfully refine a Rank 9 Tier One Tier Nine seal, the three Tier Eight Tier Nine seals would be used to stabilize his ranking.
In his mind, the refining methods for three different seals started to appear. These three seals were all fire-type seals that Ye Mo was most proficient in.
Fire Thunder Dragon Roar Seal, Heavenly Fire Divine Spear Seal, Firecloud Thunderbolt Palm Seal.
These three seals were all seals from Ling 'er's memory. In the time it takes for a joss stick to burn, the three seals were successfully refined.
"Fire Thunder Dragon Roar, Heavenly Fire Divine Spear, Firecloud Thunderbolt Palm."
When Fu Chen saw the three Rank 8 Tier Nine seals that Ye Mo had refined, he was slightly shocked. These seals were all secret seals of his Seal Clan. How was it possible that Ye Mo knew how to refine them?
"Could it be that he has become the disciple of Fu Yun?"
Fu Chen guessed. Fu Yun was a Rank 9 Seal Master of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan and held an extremely high position in the clan. If Ye Mo had become the disciple of Fu Yun, it would make sense.
However, Fu Chen was also wary of his disciples. They were not allowed to accept disciples outside of the clan. Only by joining the Seal Clan would they be able to learn authentic seal techniques.
