The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 321: This Talent, Incomparable

Under the gaze of Instructor Sun and all the fellow students, Scarlett Jennings walked to the front of the room.

On the desk lay an array of prepared items.

She pulled out a Blank Talisman from the pile. Unlike Instructor Sun who slapped the Talisman on the panel for the students to see, she placed it on the desk according to her own drawing habit.

Picking up the vermillion brush, she first carefully examined the Talisman Paper that Instructor Sun had posted on the panel.

She looked every bit ready to copy it.

Below, a student whispered to the person next to them,

"This is exactly how she did it. The last time she learned Senior Brother Xander’s Rainmaking Talisman Formation, she just looked and drew a similar Talisman Array..."

The classmate beside was still somewhat incredulous that there could really be a genius who could learn it all at once, and couldn’t resist saying,

"Copying a Talisman isn’t just about drawing it as you see it."

A Spirit Talisman, to become functional, requires both the proper flow of the Runes and the grasp of Spiritual Energy, neither of which can be absent.

Some of the freshmen who also studied Talismanic have noticed that the flow of Instructor Sun’s Runes was somewhat different from the usual ones.

Even if it’s drawn with a single stroke, there’s still a sequence to it.

Some go from left to right, others from top to bottom, all of which are meticulously arranged.

But just now, although Instructor Sun began drawing from top to bottom, he unexpectedly veered back to the top midway.

Upon closer inspection, some freshmen couldn’t help but be amazed.

This Instructor Sun was being quite crafty.

No wonder he didn’t even bother to ask questions and just let her copy the Talisman; he was certain that it was a Talisman Scarlett Jennings hadn’t learned before.

The Talisman in front of them was clearly a modified Synthetic Talisman!

Modern Mystical Sect practitioners base most of their Talismans on heritage left by ancestors, yet many ancient Talismans have been lost to time, and only a few have been handed down.

Some Talisman Masters, while learning the ancestral Talismans, would repair some Broken Talismans or derive new ones.

Such as the Slimming Talisman, Exam Pass Talisman, and even hair-regrowth talismans.

Some of them are about changing the soup but not the medicine, that is, renaming the original Talismans based on demands.

Others are about legitimate research into the ancestral Talismans, improving them or creating Synthetic Talismans.

The former only requires a nimble mind, combining the actual effects of the Talismans to change the place and method of use.

But the latter needs solid foundations, and only a master who has made achievements in the art of Talismans can accomplish this.

Students aware of this looked towards Instructor Sun with noticeable respect or admiration in their eyes. Similarly, they felt a trace of sympathy for Scarlett Jennings.

If she couldn’t produce the Talisman, Scarlett Jennings’ reputation among the freshmen might be ruined.

Who knows, she might even be mocked just like Ashton Todd was just moments ago.

Clicking their tongues...

While the students quietly discussed amongst themselves, Scarlett Jennings on the stage finally withdrew her gaze and decisively began to draw.

She moved her brush steadily and smoothly, with deft yet fluid strokes, and without a hint of hesitation. Nonetheless, it took her a full five minutes to finish.

With the final dot of spiritual light from her brush tip, the Spirit Talisman was completed.

Instructor Sun’s eyes suddenly shone brightly beside her.

Seeing this, the students below became curiously eager, stretching their necks to see the result.

Stella Gibson also craned her neck, even half-rising to her feet, placing one hand directly on Ashton Todd’s shoulder.

Ashton Todd: ...

This classmate seemed small but had such strong hands.

No way, his shoulder must be injured; he ought to charge for this.

Muttering inwardly, his expression didn’t betray a hint of worry for Scarlett Jennings on stage.

As the students looked on eagerly, Instructor Sun didn’t play coy anymore. He stepped forward, first peeling off the Yellow Talisman he had attached to the drawing board, and then picked up the Spirit Talisman Scarlett Jennings had finished.

One in each hand, he personally displayed them.

Below, the crowd only saw that the two Talismans in Teacher Sun’s hands, although the brush strokes varied in force, every Rune on them, even the spaces in between, was identical!!

For a moment, people looked at Scarlett Jennings with some admiration in their eyes.

Students who had originally held the slim chance that Scarlett might not be able to draw it properly also quietly retracted their desire to mock her.

This innate talent for Talismanic Magic, unbeatable, truly unbeatable.

Better to turn around and try to outdo her in the other four techniques instead.

Even the most talented Masters can’t possibly be uniquely gifted in all Five Techniques of the Mystical Sect, right?

With this in mind, the students down below managed to keep their composure.

Don’t rush; this is just the beginning.

Teacher Sun clearly recognized Scarlett’s so-called talent, and what particularly delighted him was that while other students were still focusing on his Rune trajectories, she perfectly replicated the Spiritual Power he poured into his drawing.

With such talent, no wonder she could receive an admission notice from the academy without having applied.

But from what he could see just now, there was nothing special about her Spiritual Power, so how did she manage to invoke the Dragon God’s Power for the rain that day?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Teacher Sun looked at Scarlett again,

"Since you’ve drawn the Talisman, do you know what Talisman this is?"

Scarlett, looking at Teacher Sun’s still discerning eyes, didn’t ponder much and simply replied,

"This Talisman should belong to the Purification category, containing Runes with spells for expelling filth and yet also including Runes for resolving grudges, so it should be a Synthetic Talisman for expelling filth and dissolving grudges."

The students below reacted with confusion, sudden realization, and even those who didn’t understand Talismanic Magic couldn’t help but feel an uninformed admiration for Scarlett’s prowess.

Upon hearing her response, the approval and appreciation in Teacher Sun’s eyes finally became undisguised.

"Correct, this is a new Talisman I have just researched."

He nodded towards Scarlett and then explained to the students below,

"In the Talisman branch, Purification, Ritual, and Death Assistance category of Talismans are all foundational for a Mystical Sect’s Talisman Master. These categories of Talismans are easy to draw and widely popular in various Taoist Temples. Although basic, each category has its own depths to explore.

I know many here focus solely on one of their chosen techniques, but now that you have entered the academy, you should gain some understanding of all Five Techniques of the Mystical Sect. You don’t need to master all five, but the basics should be clear to you.

And for those students who specialize in Mountain First Sect’s Talismanic Magic, remember that while adherence to tradition in drawing Talismans is required, you should not abandon the exploration of new paths. This Talisman for expelling filth and dissolving grudges is the first lesson I’m giving you all."

Teacher Sun spoke with a low but weighty voice, and in his unhurried teachings, the new students below each had different insights.

Scarlett watched Teacher Sun in front of her, her eyes slowly filling with respect, and after a long pause, she faced Teacher Sun and gave a salute with her hand.

As if taking the lead, the students below also stood up one after another, raising their hands in salute.

All of them bowed in unison toward Teacher Sun, then in unison, with a serious and sincere voice, said,

"Thank you, Teacher, for your instruction."

Teacher Sun nodded with satisfaction and gestured for the students to sit down with his hand.

A student, looking at the two Talismans in Teacher Sun’s hands, couldn’t help but speak up,

"Teacher Sun, could we borrow those Talismans for a closer look and perhaps to copy them?"

First trace them, then practice repeatedly back home.

Teacher Sun looked at the student in front of him who asked with a serious look, with a strange expression on his face. After a long while, he slowly said,

"I will ask your teaching assistants to scan them and send the digital documents to your group chat for the new students, so you can print them out."

The student who asked was perplexed: ???

"And as for the process of drawing the Talisman, you can also record it with your phone in advance."

The students: ...

"Although we are the Taoism Academy, we use modern teaching methods. When you should use your phone to record, be smart about it."

Teacher Sun was rather frustrated.

It’s the 21st century, and yet these students’ methods of studying are still so old-fashioned...

They have phones and yet insist on not using them, preferring to copy by hand.

Fools.
