Dashing Student-Chapter 1346: Written Talisman

Gu Ci was completely impatient with Chen Nan. Mana surged within him, and a golden brush appeared before him, which he grasped.

With a slight turn of his wrist, the brush rapidly sketched a large, clear character in front of him: the word "Break."

"Break!"

The pale golden character had just taken form when Gu Ci let out a low shout. The character transformed into a golden light, suddenly charging toward Chen Nan, leaving a golden streak in the air.

Chen Nan was somewhat surprised because Gu Ci’s attack method was quite peculiar, something he had never seen before. However, he did not react, merely raising his arms to block in front of him.

Beneath his clothes, the Jiao Long Armor silently emerged.

Although Chen Nan was confident in his strength, Gu Ci was, after all, a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer, so he wouldn’t be careless.

Boom!

The golden character crashed heavily against Chen Nan’s arms, instantly exploding into a vast flash of gold, the immense impact directly sending Chen Nan flying, crashing heavily into the barrier.

"Ha, so it really is just this level of strength. A little probe and you can’t hold on, truly disappointing!"

Gu Ci’s face was full of joy as he moved the brush again. In the blink of an eye, a "Sword" character appeared, instantly taking shape as a sharp sword thrusting toward Chen Nan.

With a clang, this sword also pierced Chen Nan, but it only tore his clothes without causing any injury.

"Hmph, seems you’re just a cowardly turtle."

Gu Ci arrogantly taunted and then wrote another "Blade" character. The text instantly transformed into a golden broadsword slashing down!

Chen Nan frowned slightly, choosing to dodge, the broadsword cutting heavily onto the martial arts arena, sending countless sparks flying, leaving a deep cut on the solid arena.

It’s important to know that the materials used to construct the martial arts arena could withstand a full force attack from a Golden Core Realm Great Perfection cultivator, showing that Gu Ci’s reputation as a prodigy was not in vain.

The continuous attacks made the cultivators below the stage excited, as battles between such prodigies were rare.

But they were quite disappointed by Chen Nan’s apparent performance, and those cultivators brought by Yi Mingzi at this moment were even more determined in belittling Chen Nan.

"With this level of strength, dare call yourself a prodigy?"

"The Golden Core Realm Great Perfection he slayed must have been incredibly weak, perhaps even weaker than me, haha!"

"A fraud, such a person should be severely punished!"

Those cultivators got more and more excited, even reaching a fervor, yet Chen Nan’s heart on the stage remained unchanged.

Though he seemed suppressed, in reality, he was merely trying to gauge the true strength of Gu Ci.

"Just that."

Standing at the edge of the martial arts arena, Chen Nan slowly straightened his body, softly uttering a few words.

Not only did he probe Gu Ci’s strength, but he also mostly figured out Gu Ci’s attack methods.

Though it appeared as writing and attacking with words, it was essentially drawing talismans in the air, a method of talisman cultivators, where each word was a talisman.

Chen Nan was quite intrigued by this skill of sky drawing talismans.

Chen Nan’s words made Gu Ci extremely angry: "Looks like your whole body only has a stiff mouth left!"

Gu Ci shouted fiercely, with the brush in hand writing character after character in front of him—sword, spear, lance, axe, wind, rain, thunder, lightning. Once written, all the words transformed into a mass of golden light, surging forward.

Rumble!

Each character was a powerful force, in the blink of an eye completely engulfing Chen Nan.

This scene made the cultivators below even more arrogant, even Yao Wuchen on the high platform lamenting the pity, sighing slightly.

"Hmph, is this a prodigy? Seems their strength is just this."

Seeing this, Master Canglan immediately began to mock, feeling quite pleased, while Yi Mingzi behind him even squinted his eyes in laughter.

Suddenly, a shout arose from the martial arts arena below.

"Look!"

Everyone turned toward the arena, seeing that after all attacks dispersed, Chen Nan actually stood there still, appearing largely unharmed.

Only the martial arts arena beneath him was scorched black, with numerous marks from blades and axes left.

"Impossible!"

Gu Ci widened his eyes in disbelief, thinking his attacks were not only peculiar but also powerful. How could Chen Nan not be injured?

"I’ve already said your attacks are just that."

Though it was relying on the Jiao Long Armor’s defense that made Chen Nan appear uninjured, it didn’t stop him from putting on a performance in front of everyone.

Since Yi Mingzi and the others not only wanted his life but also his reputation, he would retaliate in a more intense and tough manner!

"Ah!" Gu Ci almost lost his mind, Chen Nan’s taunts feeling like slaps on his face: "I will kill you!"

He directly bit the tip of his tongue, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto the brush, the words written becoming blood-red, emitting shocking mana fluctuations.

"Break!"

The character shot out as a red light, but this time Chen Nan did not defend, instead flashing, leaving a Seven Stars shadow on the ground, his body suddenly moving sideways.

With a loud bang, the blood-colored character exploded, the immense impact causing the array outside the martial arts arena to tremble, its power astonishing.

But at the moment of the text explosion, Chen Nan directly charged toward Gu Ci, Sword Chenyuan in hand, the blade dragging across the ground, leaving a trail of sparks.

"Wind Blade!"

Chen Nan raised his hand, several long wind blades roared out, slicing toward Gu Ci before him.

Gu Ci’s expression changed, waving his hand to write two characters in front of him, "Rapid," and "Stop."

The "Rapid" character transformed into a golden light entering his body, making him move elegantly, quickly retreating, while the "Stop" character formed a golden barrier before him. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Clang clang clang!

The wind blades were completely blocked, but Chen Nan followed closely, Sword Chenyuan raised high above his head, then suddenly slashed down, a sharp explosive sound issued from the blade in the air!

The solid barrier was cleaved by a single sword, the sharp Sword Qi leaving a deep scar on the martial arts arena.

Chen Nan stepped forward again, his body shooting out, the ferocity in his eyes shocking Gu Ci.

At this moment, he finally believed the past achievements of Chen Nan were solid, not without substance!

"Damn!"

Gu Ci gritted his teeth fiercely, within his heart, with the brush writing a "Still" character, which directly attached to Chen Nan.

Originally charging forward, Chen Nan’s body unexpectedly halted, as if countless hands were grabbing him, rendering him immobile.

The hidden power within him began to erupt, as if invisible ropes breaking in the void, emitting cracking sounds.

Gu Ci’s face changed, "Pfft," he spat a mouthful of blood!
