Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

"She's drawing talismans from a distance? Isn't this something only seen in TV effects?"

It's not that the speaker is inexperienced; they genuinely haven't heard of it.

Even though the Xuan Sect has declined somewhat, many families still retain some heritage, yet there has never been a record of this.

"The stability of these talismans looks good, showing no signs of disintegration. It's just uncertain how effective they are when used."

Some troublemakers, with gleaming eyes, sneakily took out their Magic Artifacts.

They directly attacked the Array formed by Yun Ran's Defense Talismans, even justifying their action as testing the power of the Defense Talisman Array.

This sudden sneak attack infuriated many who still had a shred of decency, making them slam the tables in anger.

They immediately accused the attacker: "This is a fair and just competition, outsiders shouldn't interfere arbitrarily!"

Those daring to sneak attack, of course, wouldn't reflect on themselves just because they were criticized.

The attacker retorted with a smirk, "Since it's a Defense Talisman, naturally, its power must be tested. Otherwise, isn't it just for show? If anything, you should be thanking me."

Before making a move, this person had already planned an escape route. If Yun Ran were injured, it would be because of her lack of skill, deservedly so.

If Yun Ran was not injured, then he would be proving that Yun Ran's Defense Talismans were powerful.

Either way, he could escape blame.

This shameless behavior infuriated many people.

Gu Yuan watched the man with narrowed eyes. Although he did not step forward to pursue the matter directly, he firmly remembered this person.

Daring to argue and bully his sister right before him, once this was over, he couldn't be blamed for using his official position to make things difficult for him and his backing family.

The attack with the Magic Artifact had already been launched, and it was during the competition. Even if someone wanted to favor Yun Ran, they wouldn't dare to straightforwardly intervene.

Everyone just hoped that Yun Ran's Defense Talisman Array was genuinely effective and not just for show.

At this moment, all eyes were firmly on Yun Ran.

When the attack hit Yun Ran's Defense Talismans, it immediately disappeared, like a drop of water entering the sea, barely making any ripples.

"This level of attack, and yet the Defense Talisman didn't fluctuate at all!"

The people present here were all from the Xuan Sect, each having some real capability.

Naturally, they could distinguish the severity of the previous attack, and it was precisely because of this that the effectiveness of the Defense Talisman was evident.

"What a prodigy, truly a prodigy indeed!"

"Unexpectedly, Yun Ran is not only skilled in Divination and summoning spirits, but also in drawing talismans. She even has her own innovations."

"What kind of place is Qingfeng Temple, to train such a capable disciple? And Yun Ran is only 17 years old."

"If we could be on good terms with Yun Ran's master, it would be greatly beneficial for us."

...

It was just two competitions, but many people already shifted their perspectives on Yun Ran from disdain to respect.

Yet, there were still many who felt that Yun Ran, being a junior, only her master was worthy of their association.

When Chen Jijiang completed drawing a circle of Defense Talismans, he had already put down his brush.

Although he wasn't the most skilled talismanic artist of the Chen Family generation, he ranked in the top three. His talismans, when taken outside, were in high demand.

However, now, seeing Yun Ran drawing talismans through the air, he was not only shocked but also somewhat puzzled, as if he couldn't quite understand the world anymore.

At this moment, he seemed to grasp what Nolan Jing had felt before; being defeated in one's strongest field was not merely disappointing.

Anyone with a slightly weaker temperament would have their Dao Heart shattered by being rubbed against the ground like Yun Ran did.

Until they saw that the strong attack had no effect whatsoever on Yun Ran's Defense Talisman.

Chen Jijiang quietly set down the pen in his hand. How could this even be a comparison? There was no comparison at all!

He had several newly drawn talismans by his side, each of which could easily sell for hundreds of thousands, even millions.

But now, he suddenly felt like a joke, and even more so like a frog in a well, thinking he had reached the ceiling of the talismanic field with his current achievements and had stopped advancing.

"I've lost!"

Chen Jijiang admitted defeat wholeheartedly, and although feeling somewhat mortified, he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Those eyes, at this moment, were brightly watching Yun Ran.

At this moment, he made Yun Ran his target. He wanted to catch up to Yun Ran, to surpass Yun Ran.

Yun Ran could draw talismans from afar, and he could too!

Chen Jijiang looked towards the assistant from the Chen Family not far behind him.

The assistant immediately stepped forward, packed up everything well, and then bowed silently, not daring to utter a single word for fear that Chen Jijiang would vent his frustration on him.

Yun Ran's talisman was still floating in the mid-air, firmly surrounding Yun Ran at the center.

As he prepared to leave the field, Chen Jijiang felt regretful as he looked at the talismans Yun Ran drew, lamenting the lost opportunity to study them.

"Why don't you try the power of this talisman?"

Although Chen Jijiang had lost, he still maintained some dignity, without any hostility or resentment brewing.

Yun Ran liked dignified losers and planned to give him some pointers.

After making a spectacle, might as well show off his own gracefulness to avoid becoming the target of public criticism.

Looking back, those who benefited from her could hardly turn around and accuse her of being venomous and overbearing.

Hearing Yun Ran's words, Chen Jijiang's eyes immediately lit up.

"May I see?"

"Of course!"

Chen Jijiang instantly forgot about his earlier dejection and defeat and scurried over to Yun Ran's side.

Yun Ran's hand gently reached down, and the previously hovering Defense Talisman lightly floated down, easily reachable by hand.

Chen Jijiang's eyes immediately showed a look of admiration, this was indeed impressive, and of course, this move was really cool.

This would definitely rank as King Level if used to show off.

"Can I really touch it?"

The talisman seemed to be made of insubstantial white light, like mist or smoke, and it felt as if it would dissipate upon a mere touch.

"Touch it with confidence!"

After saying this, Yun Ran then looked at other people who showed looks of envy, with the corners of her mouth curling up.

Who said that the challengers could only be opponents.

Her tone suddenly rose a notch as she turned to the others, saying, "If others also wish to come forward and touch, they are welcome to do so."

As Yun Ran's words fell, indeed, many curious people stood up, planning to take a closer look, truly intrigued by this talisman.

After all, although they are Xuanmen people, who does not have a sense of curiosity?
