Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 164, first place goes to Shen Youqing.

"Junior Sister Youqing is amazing!" Chu Jianyan's praise was sincere, and she was genuinely happy for her.

Chi Guyuan and the others looked at the talisman in Shen Youqing's hand with admiration and praise.

Shen Youqing smiled and said modestly, "Just lucky, just lucky."

The reason she was able to identify it so quickly was entirely due to her experience in the Mysterious Cave.

Setting down the talisman, Shen Youqing picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and began to draw again.

Seeing this, the others stopped talking and continued drawing talismans.

"It seems she's not satisfied with that talisman," Shen Quelin said in a low voice.

Yue Xunzhu responded, "The runes are fairly complete, but not very neat. Jinjin won't be satisfied."

Jinjin has high standards for herself, and such talismans are substandard to her.

“She has an hour to prepare two other talismans, and I’m afraid there won’t be enough time,” Shen Quelin said with some concern.

Yue Xunzhu pondered for a moment, but ultimately remained silent.

The unrevealed talismans are difficult to master and their power should not be underestimated. Rather than focusing on rankings, mastering these talismans is perhaps more important.

"With Junior Sister's talent and speed, perhaps she can compete for first place in talisman drawing," Lin Youran said in a low voice.

Lin Jinyao glanced at Lin Youran, whose gaze was somewhat cold and sharp.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Youran glanced sideways. "Junior Sister is working so hard! I just can't stand those barking dogs. I hope Junior Sister wins first place and slaps them in the face!"

Lin Jinyao withdrew her gaze and spoke in a cold voice, "Why would you bother arguing with a beast?"

Lin Youran turned her head to look at Lin Jinyao, who had her arms crossed, and her lips twitched slightly.

That makes some sense!
“It’s not about being petty, it’s about being disgusted and repulsed.” Liang Shimu raised his hand and patted Lin Jinyao’s shoulder. “Besides, animals that bark should be beaten to death.”

Lin Jinyao turned to look at her senior brother, seeing his deep, sculpted brows and eyes filled with coldness, "You're even more ruthless."

"Is it ruthless?" Liang Shimu smiled slightly at Lin Jinyao.

Lin Jinyao immediately changed her tune, "No, no, Senior Brother is the kindest."

Liang Shimu withdrew his hand.

Xiao Ke stood quietly to the side, watching Shen Youqing on the arena.

These rumors didn't affect Shen Youqing, but they certainly didn't sound pleasant.

“There have been a lot of rumors lately, and those words are nothing but jealousy. They’re jealous that Junior Sister is a direct disciple, and they’re jealous that Junior Sister’s cultivation has improved so quickly,” Yang Yousheng suddenly blurted out.

Lin Youran turned her head to look at her fourth junior brother, and then nodded in agreement.

It's hard not to be jealous of my junior sister's rapid improvement!

"Yang Yousheng is sleepless with Qi!"

The elder's voice came from the arena next door.

"You guys stay here and keep watch. My third junior sister and I will go watch our fourth junior brother's match," Liang Shimu instructed, then pulled Lin Youran along and headed over.

Lin Jinyao, who remained behind, glanced at Xiao Ke, then looked away at Shen Youqing.

Qi Bumian and Yang Yousheng greeted each other with a bow upon stepping onto the fighting ring, and then began close combat.

The two fought a brutal and exhilarating battle, their blows landing squarely on the ground.

It was both nerve-wracking and incredibly exciting for the crowd watching from below the ring.

Yang Yousheng's cultivation level was one level lower than Qi Bumian's, but he was not far behind Qi Bumian, so it would be difficult for Qi Bumian to win.

The two on this side were fighting back and forth, while the five on the other side were being tormented by the runes.

An hour passes quickly.

As the bell rang, the group of people stopped writing one after another.

Shen Youqing was a step too slow. By the time she finished drawing the last picture and stopped, the elder had already walked over.

The elder had already walked to Shen Youqing's table. Looking at the three different talismans, he asked in surprise, "You've drawn all three kinds of talismans?"

Shen Youqing nodded, "Time is limited, and the runes are not smooth or regular. Elder, please bear with it."

If she had a little more time, she would definitely be able to draw the runes beautifully!
"..." Looking at the several talismans with complete runes, the elder glanced at Shen Youqing with a complicated expression. Her talent was indeed extraordinary!
The Fifth Prince, who was sitting next to Shen Youqing, had already peeked over to watch.

There weren't only three finished talismans on Shen Youqing's table, but the three talismans that the elder had picked out were the best.

"Very impressive," Fifth Lord exclaimed in praise.

Chi Guyuan and the other two also gathered around, looking at the talisman that Shen Youqing had drawn in an hour with admiration in their eyes.

Chu Jianyan gave Shen Youqing a thumbs up, "I'm convinced you got first place!"

"I am completely convinced," Chi Guyuan said.

Aside from the first type of rune that Shen Youqing told him about, he only found one more rune in the following period of time, and the third rune was always a little short.

Shen Youqing's talent was underestimated!

"Congratulations." Tantai Ci directly congratulated Shen Youqing.

Fifth Lord didn't speak, but simply mimicked the way he gave Shen Youqing a thumbs-up when they first met Yan.

Shen Youqing won first place in talisman drawing, without a doubt.

"great."

The elder praised him once and then went to rank them.

In less than fifteen minutes, the rankings for the talisman drawing were announced.

The first place is Shen Youqing, the second place is Wu Jun, the third place is Chu Jianyan, the fourth place is Tantai Ci, and the fifth place is Chi Guyuan.

The announcement of the rankings for the talisman drawing caused an uproar.

How could Shen Youqing possibly be number one?!
Many disciples had doubts in their hearts, but when they saw the results announced by the elders, they immediately fell silent.

Shen Youqing's grades are so good they seem fake!
Shen Qiulu looked up slightly at Shen Youqing on the arena.

Her clear, aloof eyes were full of pride and composure; to Shen Youqing, winning first place seemed like a matter of course.

It's truly dazzling.

Shen Qiulu lowered her long, thick, curled eyelashes slightly.

Let Shen Youqing be happy for a while longer. When it's her turn to go on stage, it will be her show!

"Junior Sister is amazing!"

Lin Jinyao gave Shen Youqing a thumbs up, her eyes and brows brimming with happiness and pride.

Shen Youqing smiled brightly, patted her chest confidently, and said, "Absolutely!"

Looking at Shen Youqing, who was more proud and confident than on the stage, Yue Xunzhu's gaze was gentle and doting.

"Excuse me, but do you have some obsession with being number one?" Shen Quelin asked loudly, his sharp eyes softening with a smile.

He ranks first in drawing symbols, but last in actual combat.

One has to say, he truly lives up to Shen Youqing's reputation.
The handsome and cheerful young man was particularly eye-catching, and quite a few girls had already been attracted to Shen Quelin.

"Why don't you ask Chi Guyuan?" Shen Youqing pointed to Chi Guyuan and said, "Isn't he also the same? He's first in actual combat but last in talisman drawing."

Chi Guyuan, who was called out, looked at Shen Youqing and, seeing her smiling face, said lightly, "I learned it from you."

Shen Youqing exclaimed, "Huh?"

Is this a joke?
He can joke around?

Under Shen Youqing's gaze, Chi Guyuan spoke frankly, "Next, I'll have to learn how to draw talismans from you."

Shen Youqing is growing at an extremely fast pace, and if you are not careful, she will surpass you.

It's time to work harder!

"No problem." Shen Youqing waved his hand. "Just don't chase after me and beat me up in actual combat."

Chi Guyuan shook his head slightly.

If I don't chase after her to beat me, she'll chase after me to beat me.

Seeing these people chatting on the arena, the elder ordered them to leave, "Take your talismans and go down there to talk."

The five bowed to the elder and then left.
