Chapter 891: It's a Husky!

"Ye Qingran, you had your son fetch you a branch and paper; you aren't planning to use this trash to carve a talisman, are you?"

Lan Ling Wang's remark provoked uproarious laughter.

"Hahaha, since when can a talisman be carved with a branch and ordinary paper?"

"The young master Lan Ling Wang uses talisman paper and rune pen specifically for carving talismans! Ye Qingran doesn't even have those; she definitely isn't a rune master1."

"Does she think she's just drawing? Even if we take a thousand steps back and admit she is indeed a rune master, she wouldn't be very impressive!"

Ye Qingran pretended not to hear it, instead looking at the branch and paper in her hand with a faint smile.

The branch was picked up by Xiao Chen; it was an ordinary branch, but Xiao Chen chose the most attractive one and carefully wiped it clean, showing obvious effort.

As for the paper Xiao Hu brought, he had crafted it himself through his own research, claiming it wasn't for others, only for her as a mother; even Fu Hanxiu, who acts as a father, would have to apply.

What an adorably cute child!

After admiring the branch and paper in her hand, Ye Qingran finally lifted her eyes to look at Lan Ling Wang and asked lightly, "Who said carving a talisman must use a rune pen and talisman paper?"

Lan Ling Wang snorted coldly, "I never said you must use a rune pen and talisman paper; other tools can work, but that's a privilege reserved for super‑powerful Rune Masters. As for you..."

Lan Ling Wang surveyed Ye Qingran from head to toe and asked, "Suitable?"

A rune pen and talisman paper are the best tools, especially for ordinary rune masters; as for those extremely strong and experienced rune masters, they can use all things as a pen and the heavens and earth as paper.

Ye Qingran is so young; how could she possibly be a Rune Master?

Everyone, hearing Lan Ling Wang's words, nodded in agreement. The young master Lan Ling Wang is already a formidable rune master; he can only unleash his great power by relying on a rune pen and talisman paper, let alone Ye Qingran.

"Whether I'm suitable or not, you'll find out soon."

Ye Qingran, too lazy for idle talk with Lan Ling Wang, focused and began carving runes.

At first everyone thought Ye Qingran had picked up a branch to quietly sit on the ground and carve runes. Unexpectedly, she made the ordinary xuan paper hover before her, held the branch in her left hand, raised her right hand, and summoned a sword.

Of course, the sword wasn't broken; it was just an ordinary blade.

Then Ye Qingran's action shocked everyone.

She used the branch in her left hand to carve a talisman on the paper, while the sword in her right hand simultaneously carved another talisman.

As for the carrier of that talisman, it was the most shocking.

Because the talisman's carrier was nothing at all; it was the entire sky!

"Using the sky as paper and the sword as pen! Is this real?"

"In my whole life I've seen countless rune masters, and I've never seen talismans carved like this!"

"Using the sword as pen and the sky as paper—only the famed Rune Masters of Xuyu can achieve that, right?"

All the people of the Heaven-Connecting Road were in shock. Especially the rune masters, who were almost beyond astonishment.

As rune masters, they best understand the difficulty of carving talismans.

In daily life, which of them carves a talisman without being meticulous, focused, and fully concentrated? Even then, the chance of failure remains high.

They can hardly guarantee the success rate of a single talisman, let alone two at once.

Multitasking is one thing, but the real issue is applying it to carving runes, an extremely difficult task!

Ye Qingran's expression was calm, focused, showing no sign of effort, seemingly very relaxed.

Under her hand, the branch etched golden patterns onto the ordinary paper.

A faint golden glow, bursts of brilliance, caught everyone's eyes, giving a shocking sense of turning decay into wonder!

The sword danced like a flower, its tip pointing to the vastness, a sliver of silver light on the tip exuding chilling aura.

Beneath the Celestial Dome, there seemed to be an immensely huge talisman paper, and as Ye Qingran's sword danced, it left trails of rune markings.

It's hard for anyone to handle two tasks simultaneously, except for a few, but such people are invariably geniuses. Ye Qingran succeeded.

Moreover, she carved two talismans at once, a difficulty level that can be called hellish!

Lan Ling Wang's complexion shifted like a palette, constantly changing; he could hardly believe his own eyes.

"How could this..." his complexion turned grayish-white, the confidence he had barely reclaimed shattered again, impossible to piece back together.

"No, this can't be real; she might just be bluffing!"

Lan Ling Wang clenched his fist, comforting himself in self‑deception.

"Hmph! It must be Ye Qingran seeking attention; the talismans she carved will certainly have little value!"

Lady Lan sneered.

In this world, no one can carve two talismans simultaneously, so it must be that Ye Qingran used some trick!

On the ninth floor of the Heaven-Connecting Pavilion, Ling Shaoyang and his party, who thought they could stay composed, opened their mouths in awe, clearly once again shocked by Ye Qingran's flamboyant maneuver.

Previously, they believed they could calmly watch the contest, but they were still stunned.

"Instructor Ye, truly worthy of the title!" Qin Feixue gave a thumbs‑up, having said praises enough to be tiresome.

The others also voiced their agreement.

"My sister Qingran is a treasure! She always brings us surprises!" Xia Zhimeng wore a proud expression, believing that the best thing she ever did in this life was to cling to Ye Qingran's leg!

Xiao Hu Xiao Chen perched on the railing, their two youthful faces brimming with excitement; if not for the lack of a large banner nearby, they would definitely wave flags and shout, celebrating their mother.

Fu Hanxiu stood behind his son, his gaze fixed on the figure below, a slight curl at the corner of his mouth.

The two talismans were completed simultaneously.

One was very small, the other very large.

"Hmph, Ye Qingran, your flashy fiddling will surely result in a poor talisman effect," Ling Shaoyang sneered.

"What are these? You think making a huge talisman means it's powerful? Truly powerful talismans have nothing to do with size!"

Lady Lan also spoke mockingly.

She absolutely refused to believe that Ye Qingran, a barbaric woman from the Central Region, could have rune skill surpassing her son, who possesses extraordinary talent and rare gifts!

For a moment, everyone was uncertain.

After all, although Ye Qingran produced two talismans, they appeared to have little power.

"So much idle talk? If it's powerful or not, a duel will tell, right?"

"\"Fine, let's duel. You think I'd be afraid of you? \" Lan Ling Wang was full of confidence in his Talisman."

Ye Qingran first used her small Talisman to duel Lan Ling Wang.

Lan Ling Wang's Heaven‑Shattering Earth‑Rending Talisman was wrapped in lightning, harboring formidable power; it looked so mighty that no one dared to stare directly.

In contrast, the Talisman in Ye Qingran's hand seemed far weaker, appearing to have little offensive power.

"Ye Qingran, you should use two Talismans together; I'm afraid you'll lose in an ugly way!"

Lan Ling Wang laughed mockingly.

"No need, one is enough," Ye Qingran said calmly, her tone exuding proud confidence, causing everyone beneath Tongtian Tai to pause in surprise.

Lan Ling Wang also froze briefly; after regaining his composure, anger flashed in his eyes, "Since that's the case, don't beg me later!"

As Lan Ling Wang finished speaking, he activated his Talisman; its brilliance swelled enormously, its might shaking the heavens.

Ye Qingran, unhurried, also activated the small Talisman, which transformed into a phantom dog.

"Ah, it's a husky!"
