Petty Gambler

Chapter 1323: All It Takes Is an Instant


If today she really made a move against Lin Chen in the Spirit Formation Hall's classroom, she would surely face punishment from the Law Enforcement Hall.


At that point, not to mention her senior sister, even her Master couldn't protect her.


After calmly thinking it over, Qiu Yue looked at Lin Chen, her gaze filled with coldness.


She narrowly escaped being set up by Lin Chen. If her punch had landed on him, although she might have struck him down in one blow and felt satisfied, the consequences would be unbearable for her.


Yunlong Heavenly Palace would certainly not tolerate her staying there.


After all, the rule of Yunlong Heavenly Palace is that killing is not allowed within the palace, and she blatantly attempted to kill someone in the classroom; the consequences are obvious.


Thinking this through, Qiu Yue felt secretly afraid, her gaze towards Lin Chen filled with murderous intent, yet she dared not act against him.


"Bastard, get out of the classroom right away. Even looking at you annoys me."


Qiu Yue shouted at Lin Chen with utter disgust.


Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was momentarily speechless; this woman not only has issues but serious ones.


Since she saw him, she's been targeting him, doing extremely inexplicable things.


"Get out of the classroom? Just because you're the class representative of Spirit Formation Hall? Do you have such power to decide the students' stay?"


"Is Yunlong Heavenly Palace this unfair and arbitrary?"


"To ask me to leave the classroom, there should at least be a reason, right?"


Lin Chen looked at Qiu Yue, speaking unbotheredly as he questioned.


"A reason? Hum, you have the nerve to ask for a reason. You are a disruptive influence in the classroom, openly using pre-prepared golden talismans to deceive, attract attention, show off, and seek the limelight."


"That reason is already more than enough."


"We don't welcome your kind in the Spirit Formation Hall."


Furious, Qiu Yue shouted at Lin Chen.


"Haha, do you have evidence to prove my talisman was pre-prepared?"


Lin Chen looked at Qiu Yue, grinning as he further questioned her, maintaining a casual demeanor throughout, even finding her anger somewhat amusing.


"Evidence? In five breaths of time, you crafted that golden talisman — is that possible?"


"We aren't fools; do you think we truly believe you have immensely powerful spirit formation talent?"


"Even I couldn't craft a golden Strength Talisman in five breaths."


"Since you claim you weren't faking it, weren't trying to put on a show, why don't you craft another golden talisman before everyone's eyes."


"Relax, I'll give you double the time, ten breaths; you seem capable, surely you won't fail?"


Qiu Yue looked at Lin Chen, letting out a cold laugh; her calmness returning, she wasn't angry anymore. She intended for Lin Chen to lose face in front of everyone, something perhaps more unbearable than killing him.


Earlier, everyone was engaged in crafting their own talismans, not having spare time to observe others' crafting process.


But now, Lin Chen was crafting a talisman in front of the entire class.


On the podium, upon understanding the situation below, Zhuang Xiaoqin slightly frowned, believing Qiu Yue's actions were somewhat excessive.


For one, it's absolutely impossible for Lin Chen to have pre-prepared a Strength Talisman.


After all, Yunlong Heavenly Palace's Strength Talisman had been improved by her Master, Master Wang Tong, differing from the ones circulated and sold outside.


Her junior sister had already mastered the crafting of this Strength Talisman, so it's impossible not to recognize it, and Lin Chen, having previously spoken of the Great Dao of Mysteries Spirit Array, surely understood this.


Therefore, Lin Chen's ability to craft that golden Strength Talisman likely indicates he truly possesses extraordinary talent.


However, even her Master Wang Tong himself couldn't guarantee a 100% crafting success rate, at most, ninety-five percent.


So, Lin Chen's earlier crafting of the gold Strength Talisman is very likely authentic, though certainly with a bit of luck.


After all, even Zhuang Xiaoqin herself could only achieve a ninety percent crafting success rate for the golden Strength Talisman.


Regardless of whether Lin Chen's talent surpasses hers, Qiu Yue's current behavior was somewhat excessive.


Moreover, Qiu Yue's aggressive demeanor isn't befitting a class representative. After asking Lin Chen to leave the Spirit Formation Hall, how would he continue at Yunlong Heavenly Palace?


"Haha, it's just a gold Strength Talisman, why would it require ten breaths?"


"Keep your eyes open, so you don't get confused and falsely accuse me later on."


Lin Chen said calmly, gripping the talisman brush, he waved it in mid-air, a flow of Spiritual Power fell onto it, instantly completing the inscription of the talisman.


Having refined another previously, the crafting of the flawed Strength Talisman was even easier for Lin Chen.


Buzz— the talisman brush fell, a rune glowing with golden light appeared on the Strength Talisman, containing immensely powerful energy fluctuations, identical to the previous golden Strength Talisman; the entire crafting process took only a moment.


Qiu Yue had given Lin Chen ten breaths, but Lin Chen used only one.


"Gold...gold talisman!"


Qiu Yue stared unblinking at the golden Strength Talisman floating before Lin Chen, utterly shocked to the core.


In an instant, only in an instant, even her senior sister couldn't accomplish such a thing, yet the man before her crafted it.


"In the future, don't do such brainless things again."


"Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't."


"I, Lin Chen, am not so idle as to pre-prepare a golden Strength Talisman just to show off in class. Moreover, how would I know this session required crafting a Strength Talisman?"


"Additionally, as far as I'm aware, this Strength Talisman hasn't been marketed yet, so was it wrong when I said you have a problem?"


"Now, you two can return to your seats. I don't wish to see brainless people."


Lin Chen said calmly to Qiu Yue.


Upon these words, Qiu Yue snapped out of her shock, immediately feeling her cheeks burning hot and painfully.


She misjudged, lost, and utterly embarrassed herself.
