Chapter Seventy-Eight

Hearing his words, the expressions on the faces of the dozen contestants did not change much, after all, the foundation of the people left behind was good, and they could basically do it in three snaps of time to make a foreign talisman.

Pei Ku looked at everyone, smiled slightly, and said: "Of course, the difficulty of the second round of the competition can't be so simple, if you are asked to draw foreign talismans by yourself, and choose the talismans you are familiar with to depict them, you should be able to make them in three snaps of your fingers."

So the foreign runes that need to be drawn this time are also provided by us, and the nine-character text dedicated to the trial is also a rune that you must not have seen.

You'll need to memorize the spell in a single stick of incense and start drawing it right away.

Make a spell you've just learned, and I wonder how many people can do it in three snaps of a finger?"

After hearing his words, the faces of all the contestants changed.

They originally thought that they were using three snaps of fingers to depict a spell that they were good at, so they didn't think it was too difficult, who knew that they needed to learn and draw on the spot.

Then this regulation becomes a little difficult.

After all, it's a spell that has just been mastered, and no one can be sure that they will be able to increase their speed to within three snaps of their fingers on the first draw.

Pei Ku looked at everyone's expressions, then laughed and said, "Since it is a competition, of course it must be a little difficult, otherwise what's the point."

As you know, the making of the outer talisman is the foundation of the caster.

And the two competitions you are conducting now are actually the basic skills of foreign talisman making that are tested.

One is the ability to use the rune pen, and the other is the speed of drawing the rune.

If you can't even pass these two foundations, you won't have to participate in the finals at all. ”

Ye Li wasn't too worried about himself, his drawing speed had always been very fast, especially after the strength of his body and the strength of his divine consciousness increased, his control over his arms and fingers had become more and more subtle.

Although he hadn't made an exotic talisman for a long time, it seemed from the first round that his basic skills were a little stronger than in the past.

Whether it's the control of your fingers and pen, or the speed of your strokes, it's better than before.

If he said that his basic skill level of drawing talismans in the past was still at the elementary level, it was only with the help of the natal talisman seal that he was able to produce high-quality foreign talismans at the primary level.

Then his current basic skills can be regarded as reaching a relatively high level, although the ability to perceive the perfect talisman must also rely on the help of the natal talisman seal, but at least his basic skills can be compared with those children of the casting family who have received relevant training since childhood.

After Pei Ku finished announcing the rules, he asked the Foundry Hall apprentices to stand in front of a few development boards again.

"Alright, you all get ready, we'll show you the runes right away.

Remember, you only have one stick of incense to memorize, and then you can only rely on memory to make external charms. ”

Regardless of his size, the remaining dozen or so contestants were staring intently at the development board, waiting for the runes to be carved on it.

Pei Ku nodded to several apprentices, and several of them opened the developer board at the same time, and a series of runes immediately appeared on it, and then quickly connected into a complete rune.

In the following incense sticks, this rune continued to repeat in front of everyone's eyes, and the sequence of the trajectory and position of each rune was clearly displayed in everyone's eyes.

Everyone has already begun to memorize with full attention at this time, the time is limited, if they can't memorize this rune completely in a stick of incense, let alone draw a foreign rune between three fingers, even if they are given five fingers, don't think about success.

After all, not only can the runes in the runes not be drawn wrong, but even the slight deviation in the position will make the entire rune unable to establish an aura circuit.

The time for a stick of incense passed in a blink of an eye, and Pei Ku's voice sounded again: "It's time, now you should prepare to draw talismans immediately!"

As soon as his words fell, the apprentices immediately closed all the development boards, and everyone did not dare to delay, and hurriedly began to draw the characters while their memories were the clearest.

Ye Li held his talisman pen, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, eliminating the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Then, according to the trajectory of the rune just written, he began to wave the talisman pen in his hand.

He was very steady and fast, without the slightest pause between each stroke.

At this moment, his physical body, aura, and divine consciousness power were perfectly condensed at his fingers and wrists.

Every inch of muscles and muscles, every twist of the joints, and every trace of the flow of spiritual elements were all under his control.

In less than three snaps of time, Ye Li had already drawn this rune, and the drawn rune emitted a burst of dazzling white light.

Although the three fingers flicked for a short time, and the other three white lights appeared in the hall at the same time in almost the same time, Pei Ku could still see at a glance that Ye Li's side was the first to complete the drawing.

When he saw Ye Li's incomparably young face, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed an interesting smile.

"Interesting, there is such a young guy to participate in the competition, I didn't expect it to be the first to complete the rune drawing, and I don't know which old friend's family is from, the foundation is not bad. ”

Pei Ku looked at Ye Li and nodded, but mistakenly thought that he was from another casting family or organization.

There was only one rune paper on everyone's table, so there was only one chance, except for Ye Li and the other three, the remaining ten or so people all failed to pass this round of competition and could not advance to the finals.

"It seems that some of you who can make it to the finals have already been selected, but to my surprise, there are four people in this group, and there is such a young guy. ”

Pei Ku looked at Ye Li with a smile as he spoke.

Ye Li knew that the other party was talking about himself, so he immediately touched his nose with some embarrassment, and then respectfully saluted Pei.

Although his goal is not to become a caster, he is still respectful in the face of such a master-level senior.

Pei Ku nodded and said, "You report your name and number, young man, you were the first to finish just now, so you should come first." ”

Ye Li was also a little surprised when he heard the other party say that he was the first to finish it, he didn't expect his speed to be faster than everyone else.

And the other three were naturally even more surprised, these three people were almost thirty years old, and they also made a living by making foreign talismans on weekdays, and they had been studying this technique for ten years, and their basic skills could be said to be extremely proficient, but now they couldn't even compare to a young man about twenty years old, which made them not surprised.
