“I’ll take 5 Quicksand Talismans.”

“This Golden Light Talisman is not bad, I’ll stock up 5 of them as well.”

“Wind Blade Talisman, Wind Binding Talisman, and Wind Speed Talisman can be combined. Nice, I’ll take 5 of each.”

“Fireball Talisman, Big Fireball Talisman, Fire Dragon Talisman – 1’11 prepare 2 sets of each.”

Buying everything he thought of, Chen Mobai opened the fairy gate network and purchased a large number of popular battle talismans from several highly ranked talisman stores.

In the end, he also bought 10 of the “Water Sword Talismans”, which he always had in his shopping cart but never had the heart to place the order when he was short on cash.

Considering his need for a water source to perform the Cold Ice Technique, he also bought 5 “Water Storage Talismans”.

This talisman was invented by a genius in the fairy gate. Although it’s only a lower-grade Rank-1, it can store up to one cubic meter of water, making it an essential talisman for outdoor exploration and ancient ruin excavation.

After completing his orders, Chen Mobai saw that he only had over three thousand Good Deed Points left in his bank card and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

It feels like no matter how many Good Deed Points one has, they’re always not enough.

The richer one is, the stronger this feeling becomes.

“Alright, take these match schedules and prepare well at home.”

At this point, He Jingshan distributed a stack of printed and folded match schedules to each student, then left the classroom.

Chen Mobai took one handed over by Song Zheng, who was sitting in front of him, and put it in his backpack, preparing to leave.

“Hey.”

Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan approached him.

“What’s up?”

Chen Mobai tilted his head, looking at the guy blocking the door.

He wondered if this guy was challenging his first place and pondered on which move would be more suitable to beat him later.

“Qiao Xingwen is a guy who joined the army with me. We had three fights, and I only won two.”

As soon as the theme of the entrance exam for the Magic Duel was released, many people thought military training was the best way to improve.

Just as Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing had the chance to go to the army for training, other senior students in Danxia City also had other ways to get in.

Chen Mobai’s opponent, Qiao Xingwen, was one of them.

“Thanks for the heads up.”

After hearing Xu Yuan’s serious words, Chen Mobai was surprised but thanked him.

“Chen Mobai, may I ask you something?”

At this time, Shi Jingjing, who was sitting at her seat, suddenly raised her hand and spoke.

“Hmm? Please ask.”

“Have you not updated your personal information panel?”

Shi Jingjing asked a very unexpected question.

“What do you mean by that?”

Chen Mobai was a bit confused, but Shi Jingjing took out her phone and opened a website in front of him.

“Betting Odds Network.”

“This Magic Duel in Danxia City has attracted many gamblers to place bets. They have collected the information of all students participating in the Daoist Academy’s Magic Duel.”

“I was bored these days and read through everyone’s information. I noticed that your realm is still listed as the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.”

“I checked the match schedule again. Basically, the matchups in the first few rounds avoid internal consumption between high-realm students. This must have been deliberately set by the organizers to ensure the final rounds are exciting enough.”

“Since you’re regarded as a sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, you’re considered to have the lowest realm in this Magic Duel. So when the automatic arrangement was made, you were paired with Qiao Xingwen, with the intention of advancing this genius in the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation.”

After hearing Shi Jingjing’s words, including Mo Simin, all students with the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation in the class couldn’t help but lower their heads in shame.

Chen Mobai opened his personal information panel on his phone.

The update states that I’ve reached the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation.

“So, you haven’t sent this to the class teacher?”

Shi Jingjing asked again.

After pondering for a bit, Chen Mobai realized that was indeed the case. The period between his breakthrough from the fifth layer to the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation and then from the sixth layer to the seventh layer was very short. To avoid being questioned by the class teacher, he hadn’t sent his updated personal information to Chai Deyun.

The grades of the students in each school were public information, and thus, the odds site must have obtained this information.

“So that’s how it is.”

Upon hearing Shi Jingjing’s suggestion, Chen Mobai had an epiphany.

This was the reason two seventh-layer Qi Cultivation students had been paired in the first round.

Besides these two, all the other 139 matches had late-stage Qi Cultivation students pitted against mid-stage ones.

“You know, you could’ve easily advanced to the second round, but now you might be eliminated in the first round.”

Shi Jingjing shook her finger at Chen Mobai, her face full of pity.

“Thanks for the reminder.”

Chen Mobai didn’t say much, just thanked her.

At this point, many people in the classroom had already gathered around Shi Jingjing, asking for the website address of the odds site.

“You can only watch, you can’t bet, or your eligibility for the entrance exam will be cancelled.”

Shi Jingjing quickly warned, instantly dampening the spirits of Chen Mobai, who was planning to bet on himself winning.

However, he still asked for the website address and casually added Shi Jingjing as a friend.

This classmate’s way of thinking was quite unique; it might be beneficial to keep in touch in the future.

Upon leaving the school, Chen Mobai went to the Alchemy Room rented by Qing Nu.

“Here!”

A plastic container half-full of Rank-1 high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was handed by Qing Nu to Chen Mobai. There were actually 22 vials of it.

“1 used four parts of medicinal herbs, and another batch of medicinal solution is still being extracted. There should be about seven more vials by the day after tomorrow.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Chen Mobai thanked Qing Nu.

With one batch of the high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, you could mix at most ten vials. During the ten days when he was fighting against demonic beasts, Qing Nu had also stayed up without rest, making her look slightly wearied.

“It’s no big deal, thanks to the medicinal herbs you provided, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to break through to the next realm.”

“Oh? You’ve cultivated Divine Sense!”

Chen Mobai hadn’t checked Qing Nu’s Cultivation Level, but to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, one must first cultivate Divine Sense.

“Yes, when I woke up this morning, I had mastered the Divine Sense, but my Spiritual Power isn’t enough yet, so I’m still in the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.”

“Congratulations, congratulations, take the ingredients for the two batches of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and make some Rank-1 mid-grade ones for yourself. You can think of it as a gift from me.”

Upon hearing this, Qing Nu however, shook her head.

“Just being able to practice with your medicinal herbs to improve my alchemy skills is enough for me. Besides, I’m going to Jumang Daoist Academy next semester, which is located on a Rank-5 Spirit Vein, so there’s no need to waste your medicinal herbs since there won’t be a lack of Spiritual Energy there.”

Chen Mobai accepted Qing Nu’s reasoning and didn’t say anything more.

Nevertheless, to celebrate Qing Nu’s breakthrough, the two of them went out for another meal of grilled fish.

Since he didn’t bring any fish from Tianhe realm this time, the taste was average, but they both ate happily.

When they were saying their goodbyes, Qing Nu suddenly clenched her right fist and raised it, saying something to Chen Mobai.

“Good luck with the entrance exam.”

“Okay, I’ll strive to rank first and join you at Jumang Daoist Academy..”
