As everyone in the classroom gradually completed their talisman crafting, Qiu Yue, as the classroom representative of the Spirit Formation Hall, immediately stood up and began to inspect everyone's talisman crafting results.
When she arrived at Tan Yingping's seat, she discovered that the talisman he created had reached the high blue grade, immediately showing a bit of surprise in her eyes.
"Young Master Tan, I didn't expect that your first talisman crafting would result in such a high-quality talisman. Truly remarkable."
Qiu Yue praised as she looked at the Top Sixth Rank Super Strength Talisman created by Tan Yingping.
"Miss Qiu Yue, you flatter me, it's all thanks to Senior Sister Zhuang's excellent teaching."
With a faint smile on his face, Tan Yingping responded to Qiu Yue.
Despite his seemingly humble demeanor, he was actually quite proud and pleased internally.
After all, his purpose in enrolling in the Spirit Formation Hall was not only to learn spiritual formations but also to win Qiu Yue's favor.
Now that his performance had caught Qiu Yue's attention, it was a significant boost to his plans, greatly accelerating his progress towards his second goal.
"Young Master Tan, there's no need to be modest. Your talent is quite rare, and with your noble birth, your future is limitless."
"Young Master Tan's talent along with such humility is truly an example for us all. However, some people, despite their mediocre skills, like to boast. They have no real skill and only seek attention."
After looking over Tan Yingping's talisman, Qiu Yue spoke coldly while glancing over at Lin Chen.
Clearly, her words were meant for Lin Chen.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was left speechless, wondering what he had done to provoke this girl.
This silly girl must've taken the wrong medicine, blaming everything on him.
However, Lin Chen didn't know that it was his alchemy performance that had irked Qiu Yue.
To Qiu Yue, Lin Chen's quick talisman crafting indicated that he didn't care about her senior sister's explanation of the Strength Talisman's mysteries and was only trying to show off.
After a simple attempt at crafting a talisman, he gave up.
If Lin Chen had failed once and then persisted, she might have changed her impression of him.
However, Lin Chen gave up just five breaths in, and she despised such people the most.
Such people give up immediately when faced with challenges, and they can't achieve great things.
"Miss Qiu Yue is absolutely right."
"We disciples of Yunlong Heavenly Palace need to have an indomitable spirit and shouldn't easily accept failure."
"But this waste, who is entirely hopeless, only uses book knowledge to feign competence, but when it comes to real application, he's exposed, yet continues to pretend, unwilling to admit his failure."
Upon hearing Qiu Yue's words, Tan Yingping immediately realized that she was not only praising him but also stepping on Lin Chen, and he joined her in ridiculing Lin Chen.
Listening to their words, Lin Chen was left even more speechless. The two were in perfect harmony, and it seemed they had a point.
Lin Chen wondered how he had offended the two of them to be targeted like this.
However, Lin Chen couldn't be bothered with these two fools. Taking an entire incense stick's time to craft such a low-level talisman with several flaws was indeed pathetic.
Qiu Yue and Tan Yingping, seeing that Lin Chen wasn't responding to them, assumed he was so embarrassed by their words that he couldn't retort.
Immediately, Qiu Yue let out a cold laugh, while Tan Yingping shrugged and looked at Lin Chen.
"Waste will always be waste, finally admitting your uselessness? If only you had done so sooner, instead of feigning competence."
Tan Yingping coldly said to Lin Chen.
Upon hearing Tan Yingping's mocking words towards Lin Chen, Lin Chen intended to ignore it, but this guy just kept going.
"You two are too mean. Young Master Lin Chen had already crafted his talisman long ago. Although we're classmates, why do you make things so difficult for him?"
Yang Wenshan stood up, her cheeks flushed, and spoke to Tan Yingping.
Qiu Yue didn't expect Yang Wenshan, who rarely spoke and had a soft personality, to stand up for Lin Chen.
She immediately thought Lin Chen must have deceived Yang Wenshan with flowery words.
"Junior Sister, you're young and don't understand people's treacherous hearts. Don't be easily deceived by this guy's sweet talk. He only knows how to speak grand theories with flowery language, lacking real skills."
Qiu Yue addressed Yang Wenshan, reminding her.
To Qiu Yue, it was clear Yang Wenshan was deceived by Lin Chen.
Hearing this, Yang Wenshan became anxious, for she had personally seen Lin Chen craft a talisman that surpassed levels to a peak gold quality.
Yet, just as she was about to explain for Lin Chen, he gestured to her, signaling not to bother with the two of them.
Seeing this, Yang Wenshan looked at Lin Chen, feeling sympathy for him.
Lin Chen had crafted his talisman first, with the highest quality, yet the treatment he received was undeserved ridicule, making her feel that Qiu Yue and Tan Yingping were just too wicked.
Zhuang Xiaoqin, on the podium, didn't intervene in the classroom happenings.
In the Spirit Formation Hall, she was responsible for teaching spiritual formation knowledge, leaving other matters to her junior sister as a form of tempering, as instructed by her master.
Thus, Zhuang Xiaoqin usually stayed out of classroom affairs, entrusting everything to her junior sister. She wasn't sure why Qiu Yue had such a big issue with Lin Chen.
But at the moment, what Qiu Yue was doing wasn't overly excessive, so Zhuang Xiaoqin decided not to intervene.
