Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Just a Fire Thunder Talisman, Is It Hard to Learn?

The fire tongue, flickering with lightning, rushed towards the two people.

There was no time to use a talisman to set up a barrier; Gregory Xander’s face turned ugly as he instinctively stepped in front of Scarlett Jennings.

He knew that Elysia Xander’s Fire Thunder was aimed at him.

Scarlett Jennings watched Gregory Xander’s actions, her eyes flickering slightly. Stretching out her hand, she suddenly took the Jade Token from her neck and threw it in the direction of the Fire Thunder.

The Jade Token collided with the Fire Thunder, immediately transforming into an invisible barrier that blocked the Fire Thunder.

Rolling and tumbling, the Fire Thunder dissipated after a short while, as if canceled out.

At the same time, the Jade Token fell to the ground, with several cracks already on the jade body.

Scarlett Jennings coldly looked forward and saw that the Spirit Light Chain on Elysia Xander, which had initially trapped her within the array, along with the array barrier, had vanished without anyone knowing when.

Elysia Xander stood arrogantly, but when she looked at Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander, her eyes were filled with unbounded anger.

The humiliation she just suffered must be repaid by these two!

Gregory Xander, realizing it was Scarlett Jennings’ Jade Token that blocked Elysia Xander’s attack, was uncharacteristically angry as he sharply reprimanded Elysia Xander,

“Elysia Xander! Using a Fire Thunder Talisman on fellow disciples, you’re committing murder!”

Elysia Xander’s expression remained unchanged; she scoffed coldly,

“In a Mystical Sect contest, the stronger wins. If a single Fire Thunder Talisman can kill you, it only proves that your skills are inferior!”

“You!!”

“How I act doesn’t need your guidance. Though you are the rightful heir of the Xander Family, you aren’t better than me. What right do you have to lecture me here?”

Gregory Xander’s anger initially sparked, but upon hearing her words, he calmed down.

After looking at her coldly for a good while, he finally said,

“Your point is, if I defeat you, then I have the right to lecture you, correct?”

Elysia Xander raised an eyebrow, “You think you can defeat me?”

Gregory Xander wasn’t provoked by her attitude. Instead, he turned to Scarlett Jennings and said,

“Leave her to me.”

Scarlett Jennings originally intended to avenge herself.

After all, her Jade Token was quite expensive.

But since Gregory Xander spoke, coupled with the personal “grudge” between the two, she relented and turned her gaze to the five people behind Elysia Xander. Raising a Yellow Talisman with her hand, she said,

“I’ll deal with those five.”

Since Gregory Xander wanted a one-on-one, it wasn’t necessary for unrelated people to interfere.

Behind Elysia Xander, the Senior Brother who was originally tied with her also freed himself when Elysia broke the chains, and within that short moment, he removed the Immobilization Talismans from the others.

Upon hearing Scarlett Jennings’ words and seeing the talisman in her hand, for some reason, they felt a bit fearful.

Before they could defend, the Senior Brother said,

“We won’t interfere.”

He didn’t approve of Elysia Xander using the Fire Thunder Talisman earlier.

But considering Elysia Xander’s arrogance in relying on her talent, he knew his words wouldn’t help.

All he could do was temporarily distance himself from her.

The other four originally had more to say, but after a glance from him, they could only sullenly shut their mouths.

Well, it seemed those immobilized at the start had no right to object.

…

While both sides tacitly agreed not to interfere, Gregory Xander and Elysia Xander unhesitatingly clashed together.

They didn’t use talismans but directly fought with punches and kicks.

Gregory Xander fought because he was angry and wanted to hit someone.

Elysia Xander fought because, after using three Fire Thunder Talismans, her spiritual power was waning.

But unwilling to be looked down upon by Gregory Xander, she simply abandoned talismanic magic in favor of a brawl.

However, despite Elysia Xander’s high talent in talismanic magic, she was visibly weaker in martial arts. In a mere instant of exchange, Gregory Xander’s punch landed hard on her shoulder joint.

With a crack, everyone could hear the sound of bones dislocating.

Watching Elysia Xander’s left shoulder droop lifelessly, Ashton Todd couldn’t help but gasp and quietly remark,

“No wonder Senior Brother Xander fights fiercely, even against women.”

Stella Gibson sternly corrected,

“What nonsense are you spouting? In Mystical Sect, there’s no distinction between genders. If you say that, people might argue later that Senior Brother Xander only won her through brute force.”

Just as Stella Gibson finished speaking, Elysia Xander angrily shouted at Gregory Xander,

“You’ve only won against me in body technique! In terms of talismanic magic and overall ability, I am superior!”

Ashton Todd, Stella Gibson: …

Uh, she really did say it.

Elysia Xander clearly wasn’t content. Seeing Gregory Xander silent, she shouted again,

“My talent is personally acknowledged by the Family Head!

If your ability was truly better than mine, why would the Family Head let you run off to Sea City while nurturing me? And why can’t you even wield a Fire Thunder Talisman?

Gregory Xander, you lost from the very beginning!”

By now, everyone was unconcerned about whether another Ghost Bottle should be given away.

Those watching the live broadcast from Mystical Sect listened to Elysia Xander’s words and looked at Gregory Xander with varying degrees of sympathy.

Most in Mystical Sect had heard rumors of the happenings within the Xander Family.

Many didn’t understand why the Family Head focused solely on nurturing a branch child while neglecting his own. Still, a few knew the inside story and felt some pity.

After all, in their view, though Elysia Xander indeed had talent, Gregory Xander was no slouch either.

On screen, Gregory Xander listened to Elysia Xander’s words, and finally spoke after a good while,

“I indeed cannot wield a Fire Thunder Talisman.”

His voice heavy, he continued,

“But who said the Xander Family has only the Fire Thunder Talisman?”

With that, he suddenly took out a white Spirit Talisman.

Crafted with Vermillion, and visible as soon as the runes on the talisman were recognized, Elysia Xander’s expression changed dramatically,

“That’s…”

Gregory Xander didn’t answer but directly activated the Spirit Talisman,

“Heaven and Earth Ice Spirit, Myriad Frost Seal, Trijamp True Lord, ally with my divine side…”

Seeing Gregory Xander actually intend to use this talisman, Elysia Xander ignored the pain in her arm. She gritted her teeth and took out her last Fire Thunder Talisman, chanting quickly with one hand.

“…With talisman as proof, with energy as guide…”

“With talisman as proof, with energy as guide.”

“I beseech Imperial Decree, scorch the four directions!”

“I beseech Imperial Decree, freeze the four directions!”

With the simultaneous casting of the chants, the Spirit Talismans in their hands flew towards each other.

Everyone saw the two Spirit Talismans collide in mid-air, as Elysia Xander’s Fire Thunder suddenly struck an ice wall.

With ice and fire clashing, the fire tongue clearly lacked momentum, and before long, the ice wall broke through the flames and transformed into numerous ice crystals aimed at Elysia Xander.

“Ah!”

Elysia Xander let out a miserable cry and fell heavily to the ground as the ice crystals rapidly spread over her, freezing most of her body.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, even Ashton Todd and the others hadn’t expected Gregory Xander to hide such a powerful Ice Talisman.

Elysia Xander was in utter disbelief, lying on the ground, her face whitened by ice, yet she still muttered defiantly,

“Impossible…impossible…”

“Nothing is impossible.” Gregory Xander said coldly, “In this world, you’re not the only naturally gifted person.”

“…Even if it’s, it’s true, you, you still can’t wield a Fire Thunder Talisman!”

Elysia Xander, due to the cold, spoke in a trembling voice, but her eyes were still full of mockery and defiance.

Gregory Xander’s fist clenched tightly at his side.

Just as he was about to say something, Scarlett Jennings’ voice suddenly said calmly beside him,

“From earlier, all I could hear was you boasting about your Fire Thunder Talisman…

It’s just a Fire Thunder Talisman, is it really so hard to learn?”

With those words, Scarlett Jennings suddenly raised her hand and started drawing a talisman in mid-air…
