Scarlett Jennings looked again at the group, "What do you all think?"
Previously, the person in charge mentioned that the Ghost Bottle they took would affect the content of the second round of the competition, so Scarlett Jennings obviously couldn’t make the decision alone.
Upon hearing this, Gregory Xander remained indifferent and said, "Sounds good."
Evan Anson nodded as well.
Stella Gibson, hiding behind Nathan White, still bravely said, "If you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid either!"
Ashton Todd, afraid of missing out, poked his head out and loudly said,
"Who’s afraid? I actually chose it because I thought it was tough, so let’s go with it!"
Nathan White: ...
"Let’s, let’s listen to Scarlett."
All six agreed unanimously.
Scarlett Jennings then prepared to put away the bottle, and as for the other three, they would not touch them.
That was their plan, but surprises often come unexpectedly.
Just as Scarlett Jennings had finished choosing the Ghost Bottle, they heard a cracking sound from one of the glass bottles on the shelf.
Their eyes darted up and they saw the bottle placed in the middle, seemingly affected by the constant collisions from the Resentful Aura inside, develop a crack on its surface.
Before they could react, the bottle’s Resentful Aura quickly squeezed through the crack and, in the blink of an eye, swept away the Talisman Paper stuck to the bottle’s opening!
In a swift motion, the three Evil Ghosts that had been sealed inside the bottle, accompanied by the Resentful Aura, rushed straight towards them.
Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander stood at the front, and without thinking, simultaneously activated their Talismans.
"Break!"
Two Talisman Lights formed a barrier in front of them, deflecting the three Evil Ghosts.
Seeing the three Evil Ghosts circling around to charge at them again, Scarlett Jennings unhesitatingly threw out two Talismans, creating a Barrier that enclosed Ashton Todd and the others.
At the same time, she shoved the only intact Ghost Bottle into Ashton Todd’s arms.
"Protect the bottle."
Ashton Todd trembled but instinctively held the bottle tightly, afraid it might shatter.
Fearing that the Talisman Paper on the bottle might also be swept away by the Resentful Aura, he pressed it down with one hand.
The little boy inside the Ghost Bottle remained motionless in the face of this sudden change, quietly curling up.
Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander exchanged glances, planning to capture these three Evil Ghosts again together.
Just then, Elysia Xander and her team finally arrived upstairs.
Elysia Xander saw the group being surrounded by the three Evil Ghosts at a glance, and then she saw the three empty bottles on the shelf. Her eyes immediately filled with cold anger,
"You actually released the Evil Ghosts from the Ghost Bottles on your own!"
Inside the Barrier, Stella was the first to protest, "It wasn’t us!"
But Elysia Xander didn’t listen, certain this was Sea City’s scheme to prevent the other three teams from successfully passing.
She glanced coldly at Gregory Xander, "Stop denying it!"
Gregory Xander’s face showed some anger, but he didn’t have the time to care about her thoughts now.
Scarlett Jennings was even less inclined to deal with her, throwing a Talisman in the direction of one of the Evil Ghosts,
"Supreme Heaven and Earth, encompass the six directions, four spirits and evils, dare not escape, bind!"
A clear sound resonated as a Spirit Light Chain emerged from the Talisman, tightly binding one Evil Ghost.
She wanted to resolve it directly, but since these three Evil Ghosts were part of this competition, she couldn’t just eliminate them carelessly.
She had to think of a way to catch them first.
At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast outside instinctively held their breath at this sudden change.
Even the mentors responsible for this competition changed their expressions slightly upon seeing the Evil Ghosts escape from the Ghost Bottles.
However, before they could respond, Scarlett Jennings skillfully locked up one ghost.
The mentors from Capital Metropolitan secretly let out a sigh of relief and looked at the mentors from Sea City, "Your academy’s Scarlett is impressive."
Master Sun chuckled, "She’s alright, this kid has good talent, but she tends to focus too much on one area, so her Talismanic Magic is stronger than her senior brothers and sisters."
The mentors from Capital Metropolitan: ...
