Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 156: Chapter 154: The Legend of the Relaxation Charm Continues (3k8)_2

The female cultivator came to Jiang Cheng’s seat with a very polite attitude.

Ding Guangming suddenly realized, “Hong Cai, she’s not looking for you, she’s looking for Cheng! She even took the initiative to ask for Cheng’s contact information!”

Zhu Hongcai was nearly driven mad by Ding Guangming, “Can you just shut up! I could have pretended I didn’t see it!”

At 8:30, the counselor of Talisman Drawing Class 1, Cui Zhifei, arrived in the classroom on time.

He introduced himself first and then asked the classmates to introduce themselves to each other.

Talisman Drawing Class 1 had a total of 42 people, 22 females and 20 males, which was about the same ratio as the male to female ratio in the talisman industry.

After everyone had introduced themselves, Cui Zhifei began to “recommend” acting class representatives.

The acting class representatives would temporarily manage the class, and a new vote would be organized after a month to decide whether to elect someone new or to continue with the current representatives.

“Class Leader, does anyone volunteer?” asked Cui Zhifei.

A few hands were scattered throughout the class.

Cui Zhifei nodded and pretended that Jiang Cheng also raised his hand, saying, “I think Jiang Cheng is very suitable. If no one has any objections, let’s let Jiang Cheng be the acting class representative.”

Jiang Cheng was handsome and sunny, and he seemed easy to talk to, so the female classmates had no objections.

The male students didn’t make a sound. It felt like they had objections, but they were too embarrassed to say anything.

Just as Cui Zhifei was about to hand over the heavy responsibility of class leader to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng stood up and said, “I’m sorry, Teacher, but I don’t want to do it.”

“Why not?” Cui Zhifei was confused.

He had good intentions in cultivating Jiang Cheng; why wasn’t the boy grateful?

Jiang Cheng explained logically, “I’m not good at rejecting people. If my classmates ask me for leave, I will definitely approve it.”

Cui Zhifei thought to himself that indeed wouldn’t work, so he handed the heavy responsibility of study committee member to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng refused again, “Not skilled at imparting learning experiences.”

Activity committee member.

“Not good at forcing classmates.”

Publicity committee member.

“Not good at exaggerating.”

Life committee member.

“Not good at managing others.”

Cui Zhifei was sweating profusely. In the end, to save face, he had to give up on making Jiang Cheng a class representative and shifted the topic to their major – the technique of talisman drawing.

Cui Zhifei, as usual, emphasized the importance of talisman drawing technique to a Talisman Master.

Then he began to share his own experiences and insights.

Finally, he took out a magazine, “Talisman Weekly”.

Cui Zhifei placed the magazine under the classroom projector, so that everyone could see it clearly.

“The talisman industry is thriving and changing day by day. You can’t just stick to the old textbooks, you have to keep up with the times and the trends in talisman changes. This magazine is published by the Talisman Master Association of Liang Kingdom’s Tongtian Sect and is considered the industry’s most valuable. You don’t have to subscribe yourself; our school’s library has it.”

“The issue I have here is the latest, and I haven’t even read it yet. We can skip some of the news in the magazine, but we should focus on the ‘Technical Innovation’ and ‘Cutting-edge Talisman’ sections at the back. They contain the most recent drafting techniques in the country and new talismans that may lead a new trend.”

“Let’s take a look at the technology section, oh, this week it discusses the impact of brush material on the success rate of talisman drawing.”

“Class is about to end, so I won’t take up more of your time. Let’s quickly check out the ‘Cutting-edge Talisman’.”

“This week’s cutting-edge talisman is—a muscle, uh, relaxation talisman?”

“That’s quite interesting. Its main function is to relax muscles via electrotherapy, but muscle movement can lead to cramps, thereby limiting movement?”

“Wow, this idea seems pretty badass. If it can make someone’s whole body cramp up, I guess it could have a better control effect than a Control Talisman!”

Cui Zhifei couldn’t help but heap praise on the Muscle Relaxation Talisman.

Even “Talisman Weekly” might not be able to feature a talisman with such innovative thinking like the Muscle Relaxation Talisman more than once a year.

Cui Zhifei himself was a Talisman Master and couldn’t help but fantasize about the applications of the Muscle Relaxation Talisman.

“Classmates, imagine this, since the talisman can cause muscle cramps, couldn’t it directly control an enemy’s muscles?”

Standing beside Jiang Cheng, Song Junsheng said, “Exactly. If we could use this talisman to directly control the opponent’s muscles, we could even skip the cramping and waiting for slaughter step.”

At this point, a student objected, “How is that possible? No matter how amazing its cramping effect, couldn’t I just use a Purification Talisman to counter it?”

“You would have been killed already, what purification would there be?”

“Even if you control the muscles, can you control all the muscles in my body at once? Remember, this is a first-level, first-level, don’t forget.”

Seeing the students below arguing and noticing Jiang Cheng looking like he was about to speak, Cui Zhifei directly called on him, “Jiang Cheng, what do you think about the Muscle Relaxation Talisman?”

After all, Jiang Cheng had the reputation of a full scorer, and anyone who had seen the new student assessment knew about Jiang Cheng’s talisman level.

Some people, like Zhu Hongcai, although not particularly fond of Jiang Cheng, had no way to question his talisman skills.

Even Song Junsheng, who came from a talisman family, maintained enough respect for Jiang Cheng.

When Jiang Cheng stood up, Song Junsheng stopped arguing.

The whole class quieted down, waiting for Jiang Cheng to speak.

Jiang Cheng: “I’ll just make a couple of points. This Muscle Relaxation Talisman evolved from an ordinary ‘Physical Strength Enhancement Talisman.’ So although it can cause muscle cramps, its underlying design is not sophisticated enough to support fine operations like controlling muscles.”

Cui Zhifei: “Now, that’s professionalism!”

At that moment, Cui Zhifei deeply felt that choosing Jiang Cheng as his student was the right decision.

“Everyone should learn from Jiang Cheng; he clearly has a good habit of reading magazines.”

Jiang Cheng apologetically said, “I’m sorry, Teacher, but I actually haven’t read ‘Talisman Weekly.’

Not read it?

Cui Zhifei was startled.

Song Junsheng, sitting next to Jiang Cheng, took a closer look at the Muscle Relaxation Talisman and couldn’t help but think about the theory of control with the Puppet Talisman someone mentioned the night before, feeling a sense of foreboding.

Zhu Hongcai looked around, his show-off radar detecting an opportunity to boast, but unfortunately, it was not meant for him.

On the stage, Cui Zhifei wondered, “Jiang Cheng, if you haven’t read the magazine, how do you know the detailed information about the Muscle Relaxation Talisman?”

Jiang Cheng responded calmly, “Because I’m the one who drew the talisman.”

The whole class fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Cui Zhifei’s eyes widened with shock, and after a long moment, he hurriedly flipped to the last page of the magazine.

Under the projector, the content of the magazine was Every Detail Revealed.

Creator of the Muscle Relaxation Talisman: “Wuyue Tianheng Sword Cultivation Academy” and “Jiang Cheng.”

Zhu Hongcai, the least knowledgeable about talismans in the entire room, was the first to exclaim, “Damn, it really was drawn by Jiang Cheng!”

Song Junsheng couldn’t help but gasp. It seemed that he had to re-evaluate Jiang Cheng yet again, after the previous two times.

A full score in all five subjects of the new student assessments, plus a talisman that made it onto the most prestigious magazine…

Quite a few female students in the class couldn’t help but mix a touch of admiration into their gazes when they looked at Jiang Cheng.

But now, the most miserable person had to be Zhu Hongcai.

Zhu Hongcai held his head in his hands, his face showing fear as he fretted internally: I’ve only known Jiang Cheng for a day and a half! He’s already shown off three times! If he keeps this up, how am I ever going to be able to show off in front of him?
