Chapter 90: Symbolizing All Things

  Seal Master, Elixir Master, and Formation Master are professions that require extremely high innate talent. Every individual who engages in these three major professions is a prodigy.

  The master of talismans has his own special brush for writing talismans, his own special paper for talismans, and his own special ink for writing talismans. Never have I seen a master of talismans borrow a brush or paper from someone else.

  "Sudao Xing actually borrowed the symbol pen, symbol paper and symbol ink from the students of Fudang. He didn't even have the tools to make symbols. Does he really understand how to make symbols? Can he really create a spiritual symbol?"

  "Su Dao Xing, even if he could make spirit symbols, I estimate that what he produces would be explosive symbols. Once used, the symbol would explode and even the user of the spirit symbol would get blown up."

  "What a ridiculous symbol master, he's simply losing face for all symbol masters. Fortunately, he isn't a student of our Symbol Hall, or else we would all be utterly humiliated."

  The students of Fu Tang looked down on Su Dao with disdain.

  Dong Fuxing nodded slightly behind his back, and one of the students in the Fu Tang faction gave a signal with his eyes.

  The student reluctantly handed over his own brush, paper and ink to Su Dao Xing.

  "Thank you." Su Dao Xing took over the talisman pen, talisman paper and talisman ink.

  This was his first time writing with a brush, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

  "Sudao Xing, you've been thinking for half a minute already. Are you going to make a move or not? If not, then just admit defeat and don't waste our time." The students of Fodang started to jeer.

  Even Dong Fuxing said: "If you can't make talismans, you can play the zither. Let's have a contest to see who is better at talismans or zithers."

  "Don't be impatient. Taking a moment to ponder before creating the talisman is exactly my style." Su Dao Xing said with an unchanged expression, his face not flushing at all.

  "The style of a ghost, it's clear that he doesn't know how to hold his pen." The students once again looked down on Su Dao Xing.

  Su Dao woke up with a flash of inspiration and began drawing on a talisman paper with his brush.

  Drawing talismans is a very difficult thing, ordinary talisman makers can't grasp the circles and dots of the strokes at all. One talisman, even if only one circle or dot is wrong, the whole talisman becomes a waste talisman.

  The masters of the Fu are meticulous in drawing each stroke, sometimes thinking for several hours before drawing a single stroke. Su Dao Xing's brush moves like a dragon and snake, and is actually faster than the Fu master drawing talismans.

  "Success!"

  Su Dao woke up for a moment and made a talisman.

  "The speed of the seal is so fast, even Ling Fu, the number one seal master, has never been this quick."

  "Can such hastily made talismans really be used?"

  The students suspected that Su Dao Xing's talismans were fake and couldn't be used.

  Whoosh!

  Su Dao Xing finished making the second talisman and the third talisman.

  All talismans have a certain success rate, and it is extremely rare for an outstanding talisman master to achieve a success rate of 80%.

  So, when a master craftsman is making talismans, he will produce many defective ones. It's already very difficult to succeed three or four times out of ten attempts.

  Su Dao Xing made a talisman, and as soon as one was finished, he would start another, without wasting even a single sheet of leftover talisman paper.

  The fourth one, the fifth one, Su Dao Xing took a deep breath and made five more spirit talismans.

  "Sudao Xing, what we are competing is the degree of fierceness of the symbols made, don't be a fake." Dong Fuxing reminded Sudao Xing.

  "Try it and you'll know if the symbols I made are genuine or fake." Su Dao Xing didn't confirm or deny.

  The sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth, the tenth.

  Su Dao Xing took a deep breath and produced ten talismans.

  Dong Fuxing had ten talismans placed in front of him, each one was like a beautiful work of art. The light on the talismans flowed like a layer of flowing water, sweeping past in an instant.

  In front of Su Dao Xing were ten talismans, each one looking like a ghostly drawing, unbearable to look at, and there was no glow flowing on the talismans.

  "The rules of the symbol comparison test are that both sides first send one person to try the symbol, in order to prevent the symbol master from cheating himself." A student of Symbol Hall said loudly.

  "Try symbol." Dong Fuxing looked at one of the students in the Symbol Hall.

  "Yes!" The student from the Symbol Hall immediately stepped forward, picked one of the ten symbols in front of Dong Fuxing, and casually threw it onto a vacant spot on the ground of the Zither Institute.

  Boom!

  The talisman made by Dong Fuxing burst open, and it turned out to be a powerful explosive spirit talisman.

  "Please try, Senior Lei." Su Dao Xing looked at Lei Biao and bowed his hands, "Thank you."

  Lei Biao's face was gloomy as he took out one of the ten talismans in front of Su Dao Xing, preparing to casually toss it away. Before he could even throw it, the talisman had already exploded.

  Blast!

  Su Dao Xing created an explosive talisman.

  Lei Biao was blown up by the exploding talisman and his whole body turned charred black. He no longer dared to give Su Dao Xing a trial talisman again.

  The students of Qintang were all far away from Su Dao Xing, and no one dared to give him a trial.

  In the first round of competition, Dong Fuxing won, and Su Daoxing created an explosive symbol.

  "Damn it! Su Dao Xing wouldn't be intentionally messing with me, would he? I'm so lucky to have picked a bomb symbol?" Lei Biao's face was gloomy as he stared at Su Dao Xing.

  "The second seal, you trigger first." Dong Fuxing said to Su Dao Xing.

  "Good!" Su Dao Xing casually took out a yellow talisman, a mountain talisman, and with a casual toss, the talisman transformed into a mountain that fell to the ground.

  "I also made mountain talismans." Dong Fuxing casually tossed out a yellow mountain talisman.

  That mountain symbol turned into two connected mountains.

  The second round was still won by Dong Fuxing.

  Su Dao Xing lost two symbols in a row and was at a disadvantage.

  In the third round, Dong Fuxing threw out a nine-cannon linked bead talisman. As soon as the talisman was thrown out, the nine cannons exploded on the ground, blasting the ground into pits and holes.

  Su Dao Xing smiled slightly and casually threw out a talisman.

  That tile was actually a ten-tile run of consecutive pungs.

  "How is this possible! The Nine is supreme, isn't the highest achievement nine consecutive shots?" One of Fu Tang's students asked in doubt.

  Dong Fuxing fell into deep thought for a moment, then said: "Nine is the highest, that's correct. However, if the creator of the talisman has grasped a hint of sacred intent, the talisman they create can break through the limit of nine. Apparently, Su Daowu's understanding in creating talismans already carries a hint of sacred intent. It's strange, only saints can possibly grasp that thread of sacred intent within the talisman, but Su Daowu is just a sect master, how could he achieve something that even saints can't?"

  Su Daochang became incredibly mysterious in the eyes of Dong Fuxing and Fu Tang's students.

  In the third round, Su Dao Xing won and finally evened the score.

  Ten rounds of competition, winning six rounds is considered a victory in the competition.

  "The fourth round of trials has begun."

  The students of Fu Tang became tense, hoping that Dong Fuxing would win the fourth round, otherwise Su Dao Xing would even out the score.

  Dong Fuxing's expression turned solemn as he flung out a cyan-colored talisman.

  Splash!

  The symbols transformed into a multitude of wind blades, emitting a whistling sound, with the wind blades numbering as many as ninety-nine.

  "I don't believe it, your Wind Blade technique can break through the 99 restrictions." Dong Fuxing said to Su Daoming.

  Su Dao Xing heard this and smiled slightly, he also took out a cyan token and casually threw it out.

  Splash!

  That Wind Symbol also transformed into ninety-nine wind blades.

  "Flat hand?" The students all looked puzzled.

  At this moment, suddenly, Su Dao Xing's thrown talisman transformed into a wind blade that underwent a change.
