Chapter 152 I want to duel with you
Lan Wenhui took out three notes in front of everyone, one for praying for rain, one for setting up an array, and one for drawing talismans. Mao Ruigu's face looked a little ugly. She was not good at drawing talismans. As a master of mysticism, not being good at drawing talismans was actually a fatal flaw. No matter how good she was in other aspects, people would feel that something was lacking.
"You two can tell me what you need the academy to prepare, and I will have someone prepare it immediately."
Mao Ruigu named a bunch of items, and someone beside her was responsible for writing them down. When she asked Nan Xuanwei what she needed, she thought for a moment and said, "I think setting up the formation is too troublesome. Can she be responsible for setting up the formation and I will be responsible for dismantling it? I promise that I won't need any auxiliary tools."
Setting up formations is Mao Ruigu's strong point. Her master is an expert in this area. Her master helped the Lin family when they were setting up the formation.
"It's a deal, don't go back on your word. During our competition, you are not allowed to use any magic weapons other than normal tools."
"Okay, Principal, can I bring my friends out for dinner?" It seems that I won't have the chance to go into the library and take a look today.
Nan Xuanwei was awakened early in the morning by the sound of birds singing and students exercising early in the morning. She opened the window and looked out. She saw the green mountains shrouded in a layer of mist. The morning breeze with the scent of grass and dewdrops lifted her spirits.
"The environment here is so good! Now I know why Weiwei's temperament is so different from others. People who come from such a beautiful place have a relaxed and indifferent aura!" Xiao Qingyan decided to save money to buy a mountain and build a fairy-like house, and live there when she gets older.
"You think it's quite fresh after staying here for one night, but you won't think so after a long time."
After breakfast, Lan Wenhui rang the bronze bell under the Welcoming Pine, and students and faculty members rushed over one after another. Mao Ruigu wore a silver training suit today, looking like a master. On the other hand, Nan Xuanwei wore a baggy three-quarter-sleeved top and a pair of whitish jeans.
"You are going to perform a ritual today, but you look like you are going to buy breakfast. You have no reverence at all. What did your master teach you?"
"It's fine if you say that to me, but why are you making up stories about my master? Did my master provoke you?"
"I'm your senior, is this your attitude?"
Lan Wenhui hurried over to break up the fight: "As far as I know, the way Fairy Weiwei prays for rain is a little different. The two of you should get ready and start the competition!"
This Mao Ruigu is really rude. In the world of metaphysics, the strong have always been respected. She shouldn't take advantage of her age to embarrass others. Not to mention her, even her master is not qualified to say that about Master Shangyang.
"I want to add one more thing. If she loses, she must apologize to my master. Director Mao, please go first. I want to see how powerful someone like you with eyes on the top of your head is."
"At least I'm better than you. There are so many talented people in this world, young man. It's best to be humble when you're just starting out. If you're too arrogant, you'll definitely be the one who gets slapped in the face in the end."
"Let's see who will get slapped in the face in the end!" Nan Xuanwei said to Mao Ruigu, her eyes sweeping over the incense table that was filled with prayer flags, talisman water, peach wood swords, and other offerings.
Mao Ruigu picked up the peach wood sword and walked around the incense table while chanting and gesticulating. When she raised the first talisman, clouds moved towards the sky above the Taoist Academy. When she raised the second talisman, thunder was faintly heard. The third talisman was placed on the tip of the sword and pointed straight at the sky. Mao Ruigu chanted the talisman loudly over and over again. After waiting for three to five minutes, raindrops fell with a crackling sound.
The rain was not heavy, and it fell sporadically for about two minutes. Mao Ruigu proudly withdrew her hands and shook her wet clothes twice: "We don't lack rain here, so I didn't ask for much."
"Tsk, you didn't pray enough, but it still didn't come true!" Zhao Junqing retorted to her. This is called praying for rain, it's so funny.
"Everyone can brag, but asking for rain is a real skill. Now it's your turn."
Nan Xuanwei glanced at her, then turned to ask Lan Wenhui: "Principal, do you want to pray for heavy rain, moderate rain or light rain? Is there a time limit? My method can only last for half an hour at most, and the range can extend to about five miles down the mountain." What she is best at is refining medicine and catching ghosts. She can't demonstrate refining medicine in front of so many people, and there are no ghosts to catch near the college, so she can only pray for rain and predict good and bad luck.
Although these two items were not Nan Xuanwei's strong points, she was confident that she could handle them. When Lan Wenhui heard her give those options, he was stunned. Is there so much to praying for rain? Will God really make it rain as requested?
"Then let's have a heavy rain, for the longest time and over the largest area within your ability, and make sure you keep it up for half an hour!" Mao Ruigu didn't believe she could do it.
Nan Xuanwei flipped her right hand and drew a rune with her fingers. After the rune was completed, Lan Wenhui and the others could see the light yellow rune. Nan Xuanwei pushed the rune into the air with both hands: "Go!"
Dark clouds swept in from the horizon, thunder was accompanied by lightning, and the strong wind made it impossible for people to open their eyes. Nan Xuanwei pulled Xiao Qingyan and Zhao Junqing to run under the eaves. They had just found a place to hide from the rain when heavy rain fell from the sky.
Looking down the mountain, there was a vast expanse of white, as if a faucet was spraying water from high in the sky, and the rain formed a curtain.
About five or six minutes later, Lan Wenhui begged Nan Xuanwei to stop the rain. If such heavy rain continued for half an hour, it might cause a flash flood.
"Principal, let her hold on for another five minutes. If she does, I will admit defeat."
Judging from the amount and duration of their prayers for rain, Mao Ruigu had already lost, but she had the audacity to say such things. Her shamelessness was unparalleled.
"Principal Lan, your college is really full of talented people. Fortunately, my Weiwei did not agree to come here to teach. Associating with certain people will really lower your class. I advise you to stay away from her in the future!" Zhao Junqing said sarcastically.
Mao Ruigu relied on the reputation of her master Shen Youliang and her status as the chief disciple, and she even looked down on Lan Wenhui. When she heard Zhao Junqing say that, she reached out to hit him, but Nan Xuanwei pushed her into the rain, and a talisman passed through the rain and stuck to her forehead: "This is the rain I prayed for at your request, you should feel it!"
"Let me go!" Mao Ruigu instantly became soaked.
After half a minute, Lan Wenhui asked Nan Xuanwei to perform a ritual to stop the rain, and the academy decided that she won the first match.
Nan Xuanwei quickly formed seals with her hands, and after a moment she shouted, "Stop the rain!" The rain became visibly lighter, and in less than a minute the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, and the sun broke through the clouds and appeared in the sky.
The talisman on Mao Ruigu's forehead was also peeled off. She ran to Nan Xuanwei angrily and said, "I want to duel with you, a life-and-death duel!"
"Are you sure?" Nan Xuanwei shook her head. The man named Mao was no match for her at all.
"Just tell me whether you dare or not!"
"Director Mao, winning or losing doesn't mean anything. If you really have the guts to do it, then study the mystical arts well and challenge her again. Our academy does not allow duels!" Lan Wenhui stepped forward to stop her behavior.
