Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. As the warm light gradually intensified and illuminated the entire room, Jiang Shiliu slowly opened her eyes. She blinked, still seemingly a little groggy, and it took her a while to fully wake up.

Jiang Shili stretched lazily, then forced herself to look at the clock beside her. What she saw shocked her; her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!" The hour hand was almost pointing to the start of the match!

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Jiang Shiliu instantly lost all sleepiness, sprang out of bed with lightning speed, and rushed into the makeshift bathroom she had created to wash up. While quickly brushing her teeth and washing her face, she frantically searched for her clothes for the day. In just a few minutes, she had finished all preparations, not even bothering to eat a bite of breakfast, and hurriedly ran out the door.

Arriving at the teleportation array, Jiang Shiliu stepped into it without hesitation. With a flash of light, she appeared at the foot of Tianyan Peak. However, she had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery around her, as the competition was imminent.

Jiang Shiliu immediately summoned her sword and leaped onto its blade. Just then, she suddenly remembered something and quickly pulled out a pre-prepared swiftness talisman from her robes, carefully affixing it to the hilt. As the talisman took effect, she rode her flying sword like an arrow, leaving only a blur in the air…

Fortunately, just five minutes before the talisman-making competition was about to begin, Jiang Shiliu sprinted all the way and finally arrived at the scene, panting heavily. Her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, but her eyes remained determined and full of anticipation.

Upon arriving at the scene, Jiang Shiliu quickly took out her sect's jade pendant and successfully completed the registration process. Then, she hurried to her assigned spot, sat down, adjusted her breathing, and quietly awaited the official start of the assessment.

Not long after, the challenge for this talisman-making competition was revealed—a rather challenging lightning-summoning talisman! It's important to understand that this type of talisman is generally more suitable for cultivators with lightning attributes. The reason is simple: aside from those born with lightning spiritual roots, almost no one willingly wants to come into contact with heavenly lightning. After all, this is incredibly powerful heavenly lightning! If one day this terrifying lightning suddenly goes out of control and refuses to obey, striking the user with a resounding "crack," the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, Jiang Shiliu was precisely that special being who possessed a lightning spiritual root within her. Even so, she still harbored a slight aversion to the lightning-summoning talisman. The main reason was that whenever she faced a lightning tribulation, the lightning seemed to go berserk, relentlessly striking her as if afraid she wouldn't see it; the feeling of being bombarded by the lightning was truly unbearable.

However, despite some reluctance, Jiang Shiliu knew that summoning lightning talismans was a necessary skill for all cultivators aspiring to master the art of talismans. Therefore, she had to overcome her inner obstacles and give her all to meet this challenge.

In reality, the most crucial issue is that Jiang Shiliu has very little experience with this type of work, leaving her completely clueless about its potential impact. But what does it matter? Even if this project fails, countless opportunities await her! After all, she firmly believes that with her exceptional talent and relentless effort, she will one day win the coveted crown in numerous competitions.

With this in mind, Jiang Shiliu quickly calmed her restless heart and focused intently on sensing the long-dormant lightning spirit root within her body. Then, following the fragments of memory deep within her mind, she slowly picked up her pen and began to write.

Surprisingly, Jiang Shiliu's creative process was unexpectedly smooth, as if all inspiration flowed naturally from the tip of her pen. However, at this moment, she was completely unaware that in the distant sky, between the originally calm clouds, a series of low rumbles of thunder were faintly heard.

Meanwhile, the lightning bolt seemed to have its own inner monologue: "Hehe, it's finally my turn to show off! Back then, all those other elements were so arrogant, laughing at me for being ignored and forgotten. Humph, today I'm going to make a dazzling entrance in a truly spectacular way, and I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!" As the lightning bolt's inner turmoil intensified, the dark clouds in the sky churned even more violently, and dazzling bolts of lightning occasionally ripped through the sky; a breathtaking storm was clearly on the horizon…

Sure enough, just as Jiang Shiliu finished drawing the lightning-summoning talisman, the moment she gently put down her brush, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky—"Crack!" A thick bolt of lightning, flashing with dazzling light, struck down directly towards her head like an enraged dragon.

"Huh??? Holy crap! What's going on? I just wrote a talisman, and I haven't even officially activated it yet. Is this heavenly lightning so unreasonable that it just randomly strikes people?" Jiang Shiliu stared wide-eyed in astonishment, her face full of disbelief and fear, and she couldn't help but shout loudly.

However, the heavenly lightning was completely unaware of the grave mistake it had made. It had been eagerly and excitedly preparing to display its immense power, but suddenly, as if sensing something extremely important, it abruptly changed direction in mid-air. It had discovered that the person it was about to strike was none other than the beloved pet of the high and mighty, awe-inspiring supreme god! Without hesitation, the lightning bolt changed its target, striking down again with lightning speed and a deafening crack, but this time, the victim was Su Luoluo, who had been watching the match with great interest.

Poor Su Luoluo didn't even have time to react before she was struck squarely on the head by this sudden attack. Instantly, a pungent smell of burning filled the air. The once charming and delicate Su Luoluo, with her snow-white and silky skin, was now blackened, as if she had just crawled out of a coal pile—a truly pitiful sight.
