Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 688 Heavenly Demon Blood Eye

Luo Xiangshi sensed Governor Zheng's displeasure and dared not continue making a nuisance of himself.

He could only hope that Song Taoran, who was up next, could turn the tide and win this battle.

Song Taoran was a farmer's son with four siblings, and his family couldn't afford a talent determination test for him until the Hero Group's Eagle Scholar Program granted him a spot.

After discovering he had Grade A Talent, the principal of Hero, Jin Shengchao, personally visited him, promising to waive all his tuition fees and provided a substantial scholarship, allowing his family of nine to live without worries about food and clothing.

Song Taoran valued this favor deeply, and even though Luo Xiangshi had just threatened him, he still wanted to win this battle for the group and the school.

And just as Luo Xiangshi yelled at Song Taoran, Ma Lu called Qiutong over and whispered a few words in her ear.

Qiutong's face turned red instantly, "Ah, can I refuse? I'm really not good at this sort of thing."

"No," replied Ma Lu, "for the sake of victory, you can accept this sacrifice, right?"

Qiutong nodded, her eyes becoming resolute again, "Of course."

"Good child, go on."

Watching Qiutong's retreating figure, Lu Yingying, unable to contain her curiosity, moved closer and asked, "What did you just say to her?"

"I told her, she's responsible for cleaning the classroom today," Ma Lu replied nonchalantly.

"........."

Although Qiutong didn't understand how cleaning the classroom was related to the upcoming battle, she accepted Ma Lu's arrangement.

The students of Hou De, by now, had a nearly blind and fanatic worship and trust in Principal Ma, not to mention Qiutong, who had been through life and death moments with Ma Lu.

She walked to the center of the playground, and bowed to Song Taoran who also clasped his hands in return.

Qiutong sensed a strong fighting spirit erupting from him, knowing he was not an easy opponent.

As the judge announced the start of the match, both contestants made their moves almost simultaneously.

Despite losing the previous three matches, as an observer, Song Taoran had collected plenty of useful information.

He knew that facing Hou De in the usual way, fighting move for move, was almost a guaranteed loss.

Because not only was the opponent's strength not inferior, but they also held the home advantage, occasionally bringing out some bizarre talismans never heard of before, which could catch anyone off guard.

Conversely, at Hero, because the students were so famous, in an effort to capitalize on their commercial value, the Hero Group spared no effort in packaging and promoting them publicly, which meant they had hardly any secrets from the public.

Of course, that wasn't usually a problem, as they could easily crush most opponents with their strength.

But facing other top-ranked schools where the information about each side was transparent, neither side had an advantage.

Only when facing a powerful and unknown opponent like today did this disadvantage become apparent.

Thus, Song Taoran knew he had to resort to some unconventional methods to win the upcoming battle!

As the fight began, he did not pull out any talismans but instead took out a blood-red bead and swallowed it.

The bead slid down his throat, but instead of settling in his stomach, it forcefully squeezed into his flesh and moved incessantly under his skin.

From the left chest of Song Taoran, it wandered down to his right leg, then moved across to his right chest, and finally charged towards his forehead in one breath.

During this time, Song Taoran kept screaming in agony. A lump the size of a pigeon's egg swelled on his forehead, and the next moment, the lump split open. From inside, a blood-red eyeball exuding endless malevolence emerged!

"What on earth is that?!"

The onlookers all gasped in shock, and Governor Zheng's aide even pulled out his revolver from his waist, loaded it, and aimed at the monster in the field.

Seeing this, Luo Xiangshi hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, everyone, don't be afraid. That's the effect of the talisman treasure."

"Talisman treasure?" Governor Zheng relaxed slightly upon hearing this but soon frowned again, "You're not deceiving us, are you? What kind of talisman treasure is this sinister?"

Before Luo Xiangshi could respond, another voice said, "Is this... the Heavenly Demon Blood Eye Talisman?"

The speaker was Sheng Tongwen, and the old man's face was grave.

He had also come to watch the battle today, initially eager to witness the power of the Dragon Palace Nine Talismans, but he didn't expect to see something unexpected.

"Heavenly Demon Blood Eye Talisman?!" Zhou Zuolin was also greatly shocked. "Hasn't that talisman been lost?"

"Exactly." Luo Xiangshi, seeing Song Taoran successfully activate the talisman treasure, brushed off his earlier worries and proudly said, "Although the talisman has been lost, the talisman treasure still exists."

"What a waste!" Zhou Zuolin lamented, "Such a thing should be used for research. Who knows if it might have been possible to recreate the Heavenly Demon Blood Eye."

"Hmph, it's my talisman treasure, I can use it however I want."

Although he said this, Luo Xiangshi felt a bit of heartache, as he had acquired it at a high price with the intention, like Zhou Zuolin had mentioned, of using it for research.

But now, in his desperation, he cared no longer and had handed it to Song Taoran just before he entered the field.

Sheng Tongwen sighed, "Although the Heavenly Demon Blood Eye Talisman is powerful, it also has a strong backlash on the talisman master. It consumes the spiritual power and life force of the talisman master, with the consequence that the talent can be downgraded and might even cut off the path of becoming a talisman master.

"Talented individuals are rare, so why the pain, Boss Luo?"

"Class A Qualification is indeed rare, but my Hero Group has over a dozen of them—losing one doesn't matter." Luo Xiangshi coldly said.

As the two conversed, the Blood Eye on Song Taoran's forehead had firmly locked onto Qiutong.

Sheng Tongwen's expression became serious, "This is trouble. The Heavenly Demon Blood Eye can break invisibility and illusions, and it can also cast illusions, sensing the flow of elements in the world to identify the weaknesses of each talisman."

"What kind of Blood Wheel Eye is this?" Ma Lu also exclaimed in surprise.

While Song Taoran had activated the Heavenly Demon Blood Eye, Qiutong was not idle either; she also took out a talisman and chanted a spell.

The next moment, a dragon's head emerged from the river. Although everyone could see that the dragon's head was formed from flowing water, they were still startled because it looked so lifelike.

The giant dragon leaped out from the creek, bearing a stone box on its back.

The dragon dragged the stone box in front of Qiutong, then immediately turned into a mist of water and vanished into thin air.

Qiutong took a deep breath and walked towards the stone box. Before she could reach out, the contents inside, as if sensing her summons, burst out of the box and approached her!

— It was a suit of rippling, azure-colored full-body armor.

It hovered outside for just a few breaths. The next moment, it split into several parts, flying towards Qiutong.

Soon, Qiutong was tightly clad in the blue armor, like a statue of a War God.
