Shuhang looked for somewhere secluded, and opened the package.

WIthin the small box were a pile of dark golden talisman papers. Each talisman paper was painted with mysterious golden-red colored talisman symbols and arrays. There was also a note from the Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Master introducing the functions of these talismans.

There were a total of twenty talisman papers.

The top five papers were ‘Armor Talismans’. Like the name, the talisman holds energy which would be activated to form a layer of protection around the body. It could block an attack from a cultivator of 3rd Stage and below.

The method to use it was extremely simple. All that’s needed was to use one’s thumb to press against the center of the talisman paper’s array and use mental energy to guide the spirit qi in the talisman, then finally to softly chant the word ‘armor’. The protective armor will be summoned just like this.

With five talismans, every piece could be used once. When used properly, it could protect Song Shuhang five times.

The next five talismans were the ‘Sword Talismans’. This talisman was an attack type, when method of using it is the same as the armor talisman, and to activate it one just needs to softly say ‘sword’ instead of ‘armor’.

Once it’s activated, it could turn send out a sword attack on the level of a 3rd Stage – Houtian Battle Emperor, easily capable of breaking rocks and hacking mountains. For an ordinary 2nd Stage – True Master cultivator, if they don’t possess special means or defenses, one sword attack would kill them or at the very least leave them barely alive.

The one with the highest quant.i.ty were the ten ‘Exorcism Talismans’.

According to Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Master’s note, as the enemy were evil path’s ghost cultivators, they could control ghost-type evil creatures to attack, which could catch people off guard.

Ghost-type evil creatures are immune to ordinary physical attacks, and there are some which possess invisibility or other stealth abilities. To cultivators who lack strength, they are opponents which are a headache.

These ten Exorcism Talismans will help Shuhang get rid of the enemy’s ghost-type evil creatures!

Song Shuhang gripped the box of talismans dearly. Seven Lives Talisman Mansion Master wasn’t just providing the necessary coal for the cold winter, but he basically provided a one-stop service for clothes, food, and shelter as well!

“This is truly an unexpected blessing.” Song Shuhang gripped on a talisman.

With these talismans, he even had the confidence to face the Altar Master. However, it goes without saying that he wouldn’t do something as silly as charging straight at the enemy with the talisman in hand.

As long as he could get rid of the Altar Master, he was willing to play foul.

All he needed was results, the process didn’t matter; he just needed the enemy dead!

Carefully keeping the talisman, he thought. Everything is prepared, all that’s left is the east wind.

[TL: “Everything is prepared, all that’s left is the east wind” “?????????” is a famous quote by Zhuge Liang in the cla.s.sic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, meaning everything is ready other than one crucial item.]

??????????

7:30AM in the morning.

Jiangnan University City’s sports compet.i.tion officially began.

Before it began, the headmaster of the school made a customary speech. The headmaster’s speech was a very mysterious matter, regardless of how advanced technology is, it remains eternally immutable.

Usually with the opening words of “let me keep things short,” and experiencing countless “let me keep things short,” the students were all tortured into a state of dizziness and intoxication. After wis.h.i.+ng for the ability to fly away and wis.h.i.+ng for death, the sports compet.i.tion finally began.

The men’s 5km run began at 8:40AM.

Under the encouragement of his three roommates and eight other male students he had rather good relations with, Song Shuhang got onto the race track.

All his roommates and cla.s.smates wore smug smiles. They absolutely weren’t here to cheer on Shuhang, but rather, they had come to watch him get exhausted. It’ll be for the best if he ends up running till his knees weaken and he pukes on the spot, for that would be a great spectacle.

The 5km run was a torture compet.i.tion.

One lap around the track was 400m, and a total of twelve and a half laps was needed to complete the race.

It was a totally strenuous and unrewarding compet.i.tion event, and lacked the excitement which the 100m sprint possessed. It wasn’t as cheerful as the man-woman mixed relay. The distance was long, the tempo was slow, spectators were few and there were even fewer chicks watching.

Without chicks watching, the male students in the compet.i.tion lacked motivation even more.

The other contestants chose a spot to stand, and Song Shuhang got onto his spot while yawning.

“Student Shuhang, jiayou!” At this time, a crisp voice was heard, “Do your best to get first place!”

[TL: “jiayou” “??” is a cheer which means the same thing as “ganbatte,” the closest translation is “do your best.”

The sweet voice was extremely pleasing to the ears.

Song Shuhang raised his head, looked over and saw the chick who had recently been sticking close to him waving at him with a youthful smile on her face.

By her side were four ladies, it seemed like they just watched some other event and just happened to pa.s.s by this place.

Her name should be… Lu Fei?
