Due to the large number of participants, the third round consisted of ten matches running simultaneously. Ye Wenxin, hearing her name called, was already standing beside the arena. Madam Zhang, her opponent, was a straightforward person who greeted Ye Wenxin with a courteous fist salute.
Ye Wenxin responded with a smile, and the two seemed to get along well. However, once the match began, Madam Zhang's aura burst forth. Ye Wenxin deftly dodged, pulling out the talisman and infusing it with her qi.
In an instant, a shadowy figure appeared, arms outstretched towards her. Although the figure was hazy, its outline resembled a duplicate of Feng Ya.
Embraced by the apparition, warmth seeped through Ye Wenxin, sending a shiver down her spine. Soon, she felt a new force surging from her dantian.
The conflicting energies of the Zanghua Heart Technique and the Nine Tribulations Exorcism clashed within her, causing discomfort. Yet, Ye Wenxin forced herself into a defensive stance.
The dagger gifted by Gu Xiangsi appeared naturally in her hand. Madam Zhang hesitated upon seeing Ye Wenxin use the talisman, but then charged at her.
Ye Wenxin swiftly sidestepped, her speed astonishing, and in the next instant, her dagger was at Madam Zhang's throat.
"Surrender, or I’ll cut you," Ye Wenxin said, showing mercy to the stranger and wary of blood spurring her Zanghua Heart Technique into excitement.
"I yield." Realizing the strange shift in Ye Wenxin's power, Madam Zhang lost her will to fight.
As the talisman's power dissipated, Ye Wenxin felt something rise in her throat. Covering her mouth, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"It seems we're destined to be enemies," she mused aloud, as the crowd erupted over her sudden display of power.
"Where can I buy that talisman?"
"When did Junior Sister Ye switch to talisman crafting?"
Yet, no one found it odd. Ye Wenxin's prowess in alchemy was well-known among a few disciples. Seeing her dabble in talismans now didn't surprise anyone.
Amidst the excitement, Ye Wenxin casually opened her storage bag, pulling out a level-five healing pill.
"Level five?"
"Heavens, she downed it in one gulp!"
"That's infuriating!"
Watching Ye Wenxin consume a level-five healing pill like candy, the crowd's expressions were peculiar, and suspicion about the talisman waned.
Ye Wenxin had done it intentionally, wanting others to see her as an ordinary wealthy girl who could afford combat-enhancing talismans.
In truth, such talismans were rare, especially those infused with cultivation.
"Hehe, things are getting more interesting," Long Qingyue chuckled from the high platform.
Familiar with talismans, she knew Ye Wenxin wouldn't use her cultivation for one. The pure energy resembled that of immortals.
