"Top-notch."
Wilbur said without hesitation:
"Zhang Daoling's talisman drawing techniques can absolutely be considered the pinnacle of Great Xia's talisman art. I can confirm that. Later on, I never encountered any more powerful talisman drawing techniques than his. Speaking of which, why are you asking, Hill? Are you that interested in Zhang Daoling? I wouldn't have guessed."
Hill smiled and waved his hands:
"I'm not interested in Zhang Daoling, I'm interested in his talisman drawing techniques, or more precisely... I want to know what level Zhang Wei's talisman drawing techniques are at."
Then.
Hill recounted the incident of Zhang Wei drawing talismans for Qiu Xiaolin and Lu Lianxue that day, and asked:
"Wilbur, are there talismans for protection? I mean, after drawing them, they can protect against any magical artifacts. Even if one's own strength isn't high, by simply drawing a talisman, one can avoid being harmed by magical artifacts stronger than oneself."
Wilbur responded with a strange look:
"Talisman drawing for protection, there are many such techniques. I discussed it with Zhang Daoling afterward. He told me that many talismans are geared towards protection, like the 'Townhouse Talisman.' If you paste it at home, it can prevent ghosts and spirits from entering."
"There are also 'Security Talismans' to wear on oneself, similar to protecting oneself from the disturbance of ghosts and spirits. As for what you mentioned, talismans that can protect oneself from harm by magical artifacts, I have heard of them, but they are very rare, and not as powerful as you described."
In his words.
Wilbur asked:
"Are you sure Zhang Wei just drew them casually and they were immune to all magical artifacts?"
"Certain and absolutely sure."
Hill stated decisively.
At that moment.
Wilbur fell silent. After careful consideration for a good while, he said:
"If that's truly the case, Zhang Wei's talisman drawing level is very high. I remember Zhang Daoling saying that the more powerful a talisman artist is, the more they can draw talismans out of thin air, even without talisman paper. Anything can be used as talisman paper, such as their palms, their bodies, or even a leaf."
"Furthermore, powerful talisman artists don't need to prepare materials. Generally, drawing talismans requires cinnabar, chicken blood, and the like – these are basic. But skilled talisman artists who exorcise ghosts can draw them anywhere. This is the highest manifestation of attainment in talisman drawing."
Speaking to this point.
Wilbur said seriously:
"If Zhang Wei, as you say, can draw talismans with a flick of his wrist, and can protect a ghost-exorcist of the 'Red-Clothed Fierce Ghost' level from being harmed by a 'Sect-Protecting' level magical artifact, then he is truly formidable. His attainment in talisman drawing is very high, absolutely at the peak level, a genius! No, a master!"
Following this.
Wilbur himself, along with Hill and the other fallen angels, were stunned, suddenly realizing the gravity of the situation.
Instantly.
Amy stated directly:
"Zhang Wei is that skilled at drawing talismans? I remember he's also good at refining artifacts, right? That 'Nation-Protecting' level magical artifact fan was refined by him."
The other fallen angels chimed in:
"Uh... why does Zhang Wei know how to do everything?"
"Even talisman drawing is this impressive? Is he proficient in everything?"
"It seems necessary to learn more about Great Xia's ghost-exorcist knowledge."
Just as the fallen angels were sighing with emotion.
Unexpectedly.
Hill's voice drifted over:
"When Zhang Wei fought me before, he... didn't use his talisman drawing techniques."
Upon hearing this.
The fallen angels fell silent.
[Ding! Fallen Angels... Zhang Wei fought Hill without using his full strength, and even held back!]
[Host gains System Points +4000]
[Ding! Hill... With my full strength, I couldn't even force Zhang Wei to use his full strength. Doesn't that mean... Zhang Wei is actually even stronger, and I might not be his match.]
[Host gains System Points +1000]
...
On the other side.
Zhang Wei, lying in bed and enjoying the earnest performance of Lu Lianxue and Qiu Xiaolin, heard the system prompts in his mind. He was immediately taken aback.
What's going on?
Why is he suddenly getting system points? What are Hill and the others doing? Self-hyping to generate system points?
Just as Zhang Wei was feeling confused.
A voice came from beneath him.
It was Qiu Xiaolin. She noticed Zhang Wei's dazed expression, puffed out her cheeks adorably, and then bit him lightly, saying:
"Little Wei Zi, both Xiao Xue and I are here, and you're spacing out. Are you thinking about other women? That's not fair! With both of us trying so hard, you're thinking about other women. I'll bite you!"
Lu Lianxue also blinked her eyes and chimed in:
"What are you spacing out about?"
Zhang Wei coughed upon hearing this. Naturally, he couldn't mention the system. He chuckled and said casually:
"No way, Little Mochi, you're framing me. With you two, how could I think of anyone else? I'd have to be crazy. I'm just diverting my attention. You know, your performance is too amazing. If I don't divert my attention with random thoughts, I'm going to 'surrender'."
"Hehe, you know what's good for you."
Qiu Xiaolin playfully stuck out her tongue in response.
In response.
Zhang Wei reached out and pinched Qiu Xiaolin's cheek, saying:
"Little Mochi, you're deliberately trying to scare me. I'm going to report you. You scared me."
"I don't believe you were scared. Right, Xiao Xue?"
"Yes, I've never seen Zhang Wei scared, not by ghosts, nor by us."
"No way, you're talking nonsense. The first time I was with you two, I was scared. I was overwhelmed with joy. How could such a great thing happen? No, every time I'm with you two now, I have the same thought."
As soon as he said that.
Qiu Xiaolin and Lu Lianxue burst into laughter, amused by Zhang Wei's words.
"Hmph hmph~ Little Wei Zi, your mouth is the sweetest."
"No, no, no, Little Mochi, your mouth is even sweeter."
In their words.
Zhang Wei's eyes twinkled with a smile.
In response.
Qiu Xiaolin understood Zhang Wei's intention and giggled, slightly opening her mouth:
"That's right, my mouth is very sweet, like it's been smeared with honey. Come, Little Wei Zi, smear some honey on me."
"That depends on whether Little Mochi has the ability to get the honey."
"Little Wei Zi is so arrogant. Xiao Xue, what do you think? A mere weak Little Wei Zi is actually being arrogant towards us."
For a moment.
Zhang Wei and the others were filled with laughter.
...
Time flew by.
Four days later.
In the country of Stealing, at the international airport.
"Brother Wei, I've told my dad. I'm going back to the Northeast today, and you're coming with me too, haha."
Said Yu Xiaoqi, the class representative.
A few days prior, Yu Xiaoqi had learned from Zhang Wei that after the exchange student program ended, Zhang Wei didn't plan to return to Luxia University immediately. Instead, he intended to accompany Yu Xiaoqi to the Northeast to handle some matters along the way.
In response.
Yu Xiaoqi was a hundred percent willing. He immediately called his father, Yu Weihong, to inform him of this. Upon learning this, Yu Weihong was also delighted and began preparing a hotel to entertain Zhang Wei.
"Okay."
Zhang Wei, sitting in a wheelchair, nodded.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaoqi couldn't help but ask:
"By the way, Brother Wei, is your body okay? How did you end up like this after going to the Vatican? You didn't become disabled, did you?"
"No, I can walk on my own now. I should be completely recovered by tomorrow. However, with beautiful ladies helping me push the wheelchair, I'm naturally happy to oblige."
Zhang Wei smiled, pointing to Qiu Xiaolin and Lu Lianxue, who were accompanying him and pushing his wheelchair.
At this moment.
Zhang Wei was quite conspicuous at the airport, with two beautiful women pushing his wheelchair, and a handsome young man sitting in it. This attracted the attention of many people from the country of Stealing, who mistook them for some rich second-generation heir from a Stealing conglomerate taking female celebrities out for fun.
