Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 97 If this boy could be used by me?
I thought it would be a brutal and inhumane match against noobs.

I never expected things to turn out this way.
“It seems we’ve all underestimated Xue Lingling,” the president of the Zhantian Club frowned. “Xue Lingling’s concept for this scroll is… not simple; it has the potential to become a gold scroll.”

"A concept of the potential of the Golden Scroll?" The presidents secretly clicked their tongues in amazement.

"It can only be said that we underestimated the Xue family, such a small clan."

Only now did they truly appreciate the prestige of the family that founded the dojo.

I used to think that the so-called succession system of a declining founding family like the Xue family was rubbish, otherwise they wouldn't have been eliminated in the founder competition back then.

But now, the skill that Xue Lingling's painting scroll has demonstrated has thoroughly slapped them in the face.

"It seems that Heaven is determined for the Xue family to rise to prominence!"

"To be able to conceive such an excellent scroll from that long-declined system of traditional ideas, this girl is a talent."

Even more outrageous is that Xue Lingling wants to train a genius-level apprentice.

"That girl is something else. Wouldn't it be better to compete in a big city? Why does she have to come back to Yaoyang City and steal our jobs?"

A group of club presidents were full of resentment.

“Not only Xue Lingling, but also look at that boy from the Zhou family named Zhou Qi. His original picture scroll seems to be quite remarkable as well.”

"And that rich young master from the Wang family, although there's no future in making artifacts and scrolls, it's still disgusting to hang out with them."

At this moment, the presidents of the major clubs in Yaoyang City all felt immense pressure.

Although this pressure cannot pose a threat to them for the time being, the premonition is already very strong.

"Gentlemen, it seems we should unite our forces," the president of the Divine Fire Club said. "If the Necronomicon takes over Sun City, we're all in for a rough time."

The other club presidents all agreed.

Although they belong to different factions under the Peak Dojo and compete with each other, they are essentially all scroll artists under the Peak Dojo.

Now that the Necropolis is trying to get involved, they still need to stand united against them.

"Old Xu, it seems your people have gone."

"Really?" The president of the Divine Fire Club said with great interest, "It's a good opportunity to test the level of this superior scroll. My [Flame Spirit Fire Maiden] is no pushover, especially when it comes to playing with fire."

The president of the Shenhuo Club was full of confidence, and the presidents of other clubs were also paying close attention.

……

League mechanical battlefield.

As always, Wu Xian held the line against all odds, preventing the mechanical monster army from entering the fortress.

Given Winged Star Lord's monster-killing efficiency, it won't be long before he can defend this fortress ahead of schedule.

However, it seems that other club teams have already arrived.

"The Divine Fire Club?"

Seeing the group's professional team uniforms from afar, Wu Xian was secretly surprised.

A bunch of fire-attribute painting spirits, aren't they just asking for trouble?

Do you know what Winged Mars-kun is?

Do you understand the prestige and value of the Twenty-Eight Mansions?

"one person?"

The members of the Shenhuo Club were clearly taken aback by what was happening here.

"What's going on? One person, one spirit painting, can defend a fortress?"

"Be careful, this painting spirit is definitely not simple."

"Hmm~ It looks like someone from the Ghost King Club."

"Huh? Aren't all the Ghost King Clubs filled with necromancer-themed scrolls?"

"Never mind that, let's take this fortress first," the captain of the Divine Fire Club said confidently. "It looks like a fire-attribute scroll, but I wonder how long it can last against the Flame Spirit Fire Maiden."

Upon hearing this, the three team members could not hide their envy.

The Flame Spirit Fire Maiden is a superior scroll they have always dreamed of. As long as the Flame Spirit Fire Maiden appears, any other fire-attribute scroll will pale in comparison.

"Kid, are you leaving voluntarily, or do you want us to take you away?"

In the league, you always have to show off and create some entertainment value.

To their surprise, Wu Xian had no intention of wasting words with them. The Winged Fire Star Lord beside him spread his wings, and streaks of flame, like fiery serpents, darted towards them. "Oh ho~ Are all newcomers this arrogant these days?"

The members of the Divine Fire Club cried out in alarm and dodged and defended themselves.

However, the power of the fire serpent's attack far exceeded their expectations.

The two [Flame Spirits] at the forefront were instantly pierced by the fire serpent, and their spiritual bodies dimmed considerably in an instant.

It's important to know that [Flame Spirit] is a fire elemental spirit, naturally possessing a strong immunity to all types of flames.

"Something's not right, this person is suspicious!"

The members of the Divine Fire Club were shocked and immediately became serious.

"Oh no, the flames are still burning the Flame Spirit's body!"

Upon hearing the sound, the captain looked over and saw that from the wounds pierced through the chests of the two Flame Spirits, wisps of red flames emitting poisonous smoke were constantly devouring their bodies.

"This flame is poisonous?!"

Realizing something was wrong, the captain quickly threw out the [Flame Spirit Fire Maiden] scroll to deal with the situation.

Wu Xian naturally noticed this fiery enchantress spirit painting, whose power and aura were clearly much stronger than the other spirit paintings.

With a seductive shout, the Flame Spirit Fire Maiden unleashed a vast expanse of flames, which transformed into a ball of fire and hurtled towards Wu Xian.

Wherever it passed, mechanical monsters turned into molten iron and disintegrated.

"There's something there, but unfortunately not much," Wu Xian said calmly.

To be fair, this Flame Demoness's flames are quite powerful, comparable to the Blazing Firebird of Holy Spirit Island.

Unfortunately, compared to Winged Star Lord, he was only at the level of a child playing with fire.

Behind Winged Fire Star Lord, a star array shone brightly, with streaks of starlight flowing around his body, allowing the Flame Spirit Fire Maiden's attacks to strike him.

boom! boom! boom!
The flames that bombarded Winged Star Lord were absorbed by him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What? How is this possible!"

The members of the Divine Fire Club were shocked.

The Flame Spirit Fire Maiden, who transformed into flames and rushed towards Winged Fire Star Lord, was as if captured by gravity, and the flames around her were quickly absorbed by Winged Fire Star Lord.

While Winged Fire Star Lord absorbed various fire attacks, Wu Xian's spiritual power was also partially restored.

Most importantly, the power of Winged Star Lord's own flames is also increasing, with the flames on his back wings rising and growing stronger.

call--!
The enormous fiery wings flapped forward and then came together.

He sent several members of the Divine Fire Club flying on the spot, and several Flame Spirit Scrolls shattered instantly.

Only the Flame Spirit Fire Maiden, who had struggled to break free from the "gravity" restraints, was still barely clinging to life.

……

The presidents of the various clubs looked on in horror and exchanged bewildered glances.

Among them, the president of the Divine Fire Club looked extremely grim. "Complete fire immunity? How is that possible? How could an ordinary scroll possess such a heaven-defying ability?"

"Moreover, the flames seemed to possess a strong poisonous property."

"Hiss~ Just what is the origin of this painting by this child?"

"Is this really something he could conceive at his age?"

"Do you think it's possible that this child is also a descendant of a fallen founding family, and that Xue Lingling discovered him?"

"Very likely, otherwise how could he have conceived such a powerful fire-attribute painting spirit on his own?"

"I wonder which dojo's founding family it is?" The eyes of the Divine Fire Club flickered.

If we can bring him into his family, it will definitely elevate his family's status within the Peak Dojo.

Little did they know, the presidents of other clubs were also eyeing the opportunity.

After all, no family can refuse talented people.

Even though Wu Xian's painting spirit doesn't fit their family style, they can still use it for their purposes.

After all, the biggest feature of the Peak Dojo is its diverse styles and inclusive nature, encompassing all types of scroll paintings.
