The person in charge looked at Scarlett Jennings, a trace of admiration in his eyes, "Go on."
The Capital Group, along with the students from the Capital Metropolitan below, all stared at Scarlett Jennings in disbelief, wondering what solution she might still have.
Just listen to Scarlett Jennings say slowly,
"We can use the Gathering Evil Formation."
Although those two evil ghosts were struck into oblivion, because of the short time frame, as long as the ghost energy within ten miles is gathered, it’s always possible to extract the remnants of the two evil ghosts’ aura from it.
No sooner had Scarlett Jennings spoken than the team leader, Senior Brother from the Capital City, said,
"How could this work?!
Not to mention that the Gathering Evil Formation isn’t easy to succeed with, even if it successfully gathers the ghost energy from the four directions, there’s no way to distinguish which belongs to the two evil ghosts. This method is both dangerous and impractical."
Though the senior rebuffed her suggestion, his expression bore no contempt or reproach, more so arguing the method’s impracticality from the perspective of mystical technique.
Scarlett Jennings was evidently more patient with this senior, and upon hearing his rebuttal, she replied,
"Of course, just relying on the Gathering Evil Formation alone isn’t enough; we also need to add soul refining."
She said,
"Those two evil ghosts might be gone, but the ghost bottle that held them is still here. If the ghost bottle is refined properly, along with a corresponding Gathering Evil Formation, the ghost energy condensed will be sufficient to support the investigation."
There is a saying that where there has been existence, there must be traces.
Whether it’s the ghost bottle or the surrounding evil qi, this is the principle they follow.
Hearing her elaborate further, the team leader, Senior Brother, was visibly surprised and quickly began to contemplate the feasibility of this method.
The students below hadn’t expected such a combination and those majoring in this field began discussing it with the classmates beside them.
Some even started questioning Scarlett Jennings on how to mitigate the potential risks in her operation, and seeing that the person in charge wasn’t opposed, Scarlett Jennings answered them one by one.
The opening of the second match suddenly turned into a discussion forum.
Even on the judges’ panel, the instructors were whispering among themselves.
They proposed this suggestion because, naturally, there is a feasible solution, but their solution, considering safety, though similar in concept to Scarlett Jennings’, was more complex in execution.
The reason for presenting this option was actually to test the knowledge of those two groups of students who hadn’t acquired the ghost bottle.
If they could collect some ghost energy, the judges would award them points.
Who would have thought that the students from the Capital City couldn’t come up with a solution, whereas Scarlett Jennings proposed a new approach.
The Temple Master from Clear Breeze Temple softly spoke up,
"I said before that Scarlett Little Friend’s understanding of talismanic magic is enough to qualify her as a guest lecturer at colleges, didn’t I? You all questioned me back then."
He referred to his previous intention to recommend Scarlett Jennings to the Capital City before she enrolled in the Sea City Taoist Academy.
The instructor next to him wanted to argue; after all, despite her talent, she was only eighteen and not of traditional background, and there was no precedent like this in the academy.
But as the words were about to come out, they remembered her status in the Mystical Sect and quietly closed their mouths.
The discussion was soon halted by the person in charge.
Although the atmosphere was good, it was still the second match.
And after Scarlett Jennings’ "reminder", the Senior Brother from the Capital City Group hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to choose the second method.
Even if they ultimately failed, this would be a self-challenge for their Capital City Academy.
The person in charge watched the rekindled fighting spirit in the five students, nodding in satisfaction, then looked towards the Spritelife Group.
Callum Yuan and the other five little demons just looked at him,
"Why are you looking at us like that?"
One of the little demons grumpily said, "Do we look like we understand this stuff?"
They hadn’t participated in any of the discussions just now, after all.
They would definitely choose the first method!
Everyone: ...
Alright then.
The group put on the Image Keeping Talisman again and prepared to set off, and before the competition officially began, Scarlett Jennings specifically confirmed with the person in charge,
