Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Translator: 549690339
Jiang Cheng has always been a representative of respecting the elderly and valuing the young, and holding teachers and their teachings in high esteem.
He saw that Li Youyuan, despite his advanced age, was still striving on the front lines of the recruitment exams, and he felt great admiration for his dedication and professionalism.
Many old people nowadays just occupy positions without really working, behaving like vegetables, merely coasting until retirement. In contrast, Li Youyuan’s spirit of perseverance on the front lines shone brightly.
Now, Director Li seemed to be in great distress, and Jiang Cheng felt it necessary to alleviate his worries.
“Mr. Li, have you encountered any difficulties?” Jiang Cheng asked with concern.
Difficulties? Do you still have the nerve to talk about difficulties?
Li Youyuan really wanted to slap Jiang Cheng flat, hide him in some corner of Lotus University until the exams were over, and then dig him up and set him free.
But he knew that was not an option.
After two rounds of exams, Jiang Cheng had become somewhat of a minor celebrity at Lotus University.
Moreover, his scores were good. His sudden disappearance would surely raise suspicions.
The best approach at the moment was to solve the problem through communication.
As long as he could ensure that Jiang Cheng stopped causing trouble afterward, such as no longer drawing the likes of a Sect Leader from Tongtian Sect, everything would be negotiable.
Lotus Cloud University was simply an educational institution under the Liang Kingdom’s branch of the Tongtian Sect. They were insignificant and had little authority; they only wanted to live a peaceful life and had no desire to stir up conflicts with the Immortal Sects.
Li Youyuan took a deep breath and said, “Jiang Cheng, you came here to attend Lotus University, right? Well, there is a chance in front of you now, a guaranteed opportunity to get into Lotus University. The question is whether you can seize it.”
“What opportunity?”
“You see, Lotus University always has a number of special admissions spots for students with particular talents every year. Considering your exceptional performance in the last two exams, you can strive for one of these spots. I find your character remarkable, and I feel we share a bond, so I will help you apply. How about it?”
He is willing to help me apply for a special admissions spot?
Director Li really is a good person.
Jiang Cheng thought.
“Mr. Li, may I ask if there is any cost to applying for a special admissions spot?”
Li Youyuan thought to himself, you’re rather sharp. He said, “There’s only one requirement. During the next three exams, you’ll just show up but not answer any questions. Leave when time is up; apart from that, there are no other requirements.”
“Just show up and not answer any questions? Isn’t that cheating?” Jiang Cheng said.
“How could that be cheating? You’re already assured a spot as a student with special talents. Isn’t it normal to not want to answer questions then?”
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, “I want to respect each exam.”
Li Youyuan was now close to being driven mad by Jiang Cheng!
He felt that Jiang Cheng was completely unreasonable!
This guy talks about “respecting each exam,” but what on earth is he actually doing!
A perfectly normal character assessment, honestly answering “save mother” would have sufficed, but he had to pull out a whatever talisman, and save two people?
Was that a request for him to save someone?
What was a simple character assessment was abruptly turned into a brainteaser by him!
And then there was the recent aesthetic assessment. What harm would it have done to comply with the rules and simply splash water on the painting?
Instead, he had to use a talisman to control the water, drawing his… oh no, drawing the respected and beloved Master Ji.
The moment that great figure appeared, who wouldn’t give her full marks!
A perfectly normal aesthetic assessment was forcibly warped into a “Taixu Beauty Academy interview scene,” with all the grading teachers wracking their brains, not daring to utter a single word of dissent.
You respect exams?
Is this your way of respecting exams?
Do you have some sort of terrifying misunderstanding of the word “respect”?
Patting Jiang Cheng on the shoulder, Li Youyuan spoke earnestly, “Jiang Cheng, your intention to respect exams is good, but I hope you can hold off on taking action for now.”
Jiang Cheng said seriously, “Mr. Li, thank you for being willing to help me apply for a special admissions spot, but I believe since I’ve prepared extensively for new student assessments at Lotus University, I should take the exams earnestly. I can’t fail to honor my own efforts.”
Li Youyuan’s eyes widened the moment he heard Jiang Cheng’s words, “What you’re saying is, the strange talisman you used today, you have more of them? You plan to use them in the following exams?”
Jiang Cheng revealed a confident smile, “Of course.”
Li Youyuan felt his heart had grown tired of beating.
Didn’t want to beat anymore.
Wished for time off.
The heart had been beating for a lifetime, what’s wrong with a few days off?
Actually, if Jiang Cheng were simply one of the students with odd ideas, like 1082 or 1003, Li Youyuan would definitely not have sought a private chat with him.
But the most special thing about Jiang Cheng was that he could open up entirely new approaches for all the examinees!
Simply put, his operations were outrageous, yet highly replicable!
Whether it involved diving in to save someone or drawing portraits, anyone who wanted to copy…
No!
Even without the intention to copy, as long as one could purchase the talismans he used, it was entirely possible to replicate his methods!
And thus replicate his exam results!
And thus force those who originally had no intention of replicating Jiang Cheng’s methods to do so too, or else they would be eliminated.
And thus lead the entire exam into uncontrollable chaos until it completely degenerated in the process of continuous imitation of “Jiang Cheng”!
The freshman assessment seemed to be sliding towards an uncontrollable direction.
Li Youyuan felt overwhelmed with helplessness.
It was as if he faced an unsolvable situation.
Now, his only hope was that Jiang Cheng wouldn’t take the initiative to sell his talismans; otherwise, for every talisman he sold, there would emerge another “Jiang Cheng” in the examination hall.
“Where did you buy that talisman you just used?” Li Youyuan asked.
“Just now? I made that one myself,” Jiang Cheng said.
“The one you used in the morning was also made by yourself?”
“Yes.”
“So the talismans you plan to use in the upcoming exams, you’re not telling me you drew those yourself as well, are you?”
“I did.”
At this moment, Li Youyuan didn’t know how to describe his feelings.
He finally understood why Jiang Cheng had the courage to sign up on the very first day of freshman assessment registration!
This student named Jiang Cheng might only have a middle school talisman drawing competition’s second prize level skill, but in terms of talisman innovation, he possessed a terrifying talent!
While still reeling from the shock, Li Youyuan suddenly fell into great joy!
If all these talismans were drawn by Jiang Cheng himself, that meant these talismans were unique to him, and other examinees simply couldn’t buy and use them to replicate Jiang Cheng’s results!
Although others might complete Jiang Cheng’s exam concepts using different methods, the scale and number would surely be very limited!
As long as he could quell the source of the talisman distribution, the situation in the entire freshman assessment could be salvaged!
In subsequent exams, they would just need to incorporate all the deeds and talismans Jiang Cheng had used directly into the examination rules and ban them to stabilize the situation!
Li Youyuan fixed his gaze on Jiang Cheng and asked, “Jiang, how do you sell your talismans? Just keep the ones you need for your own exams; I’ll buy all the rest!”
Jiang Cheng still admired Director Li’s work ethic, “Mr. Li, if you like them, I can give you a few for free, no need to buy them.”
But to Li Youyuan’s surprise, he said decisively, “No! I want to buy! The kind with a contract! You’re not allowed to sell or give your talismans to anyone else during the assessment period!”
Jiang Cheng didn’t understand why Li Youyuan wanted to buy the talismans. If it had been a student, he could have understood that they needed them for exams, but teachers didn’t need to take exams, so why buy talismans?
However, faced with Li Youyuan’s reasonable request, he felt embarrassed to refuse, and so he reluctantly agreed, “Alright. But if it involves an exclusive deal, the price might be pretty high.”
