Tang Lao and Professor Lin stared in astonishment, realizing that the item was called the Mingyue Mirror.
It appeared formidable, and they were shielded by security personnel, pressed against the wall.
After the recent incident, they no longer dared to act rashly, fearing they might bring trouble upon themselves.
Everything was left to Zhou Lin.
The Taoist priest's heart began to anticipate the confrontation. These were two powerful Taoist practitioners; if they were to fight, it would be a spectacle.
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, I'm already looking forward to it. Who will win between the great master and this female Taoist?"
"Me too, me too. But is it right for us to be like this? What if the great master gets hurt?"
"You can't say that. Great Master Zhou Lin won't get hurt. After all, you know he's an extraordinary being."
"I'm not worried about the great master. I'm wondering what methods Zhou Lin will use. That's what I'm most curious about."
"Haha, that's true. I'm thinking the same thing."
...
In the dean's conference room.
The professor of metaphysics stared intently at Zhou Lin and the female Taoist, a hint of excitement in his eyes, his hand gripping his water cup with anticipation.
This was a battle of deities, and he was eagerly awaiting it. Such an event was rare.
"This is truly exciting. As long as Zhou Lin is present, many unbelievable things will happen."
The professor of metaphysics watched them with great expectation.
The dean and Professor Hu were solely concerned with the safety of Zhou Lin, the archaeological team, and the professors. However, seeing the professor of metaphysics so agitated, they couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
What was wrong with him? Why was he so excited?
Everyone looked at the professor of metaphysics with bewilderment. They didn't quite understand his mindset. They had always thought these people were a bit eccentric, and seeing this now only reinforced that belief.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin looked at the approaching copper coin sword. It should have possessed some righteous energy, but now it was filled with malevolent energy. His own bloodline felt uncomfortable, even having an urge to suppress it forcefully.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Lin was curious to know what abilities this woman possessed.
"Azure Dragon, emerge."
Zhou Lin suddenly shouted sternly, drawing his Azure Dragon Sword and lunging towards the copper coin sword.
The two weapons collided with a thunderous roar. One was the familiar cry of an Azure Dragon, and the other was a piercing shriek, identical to the sound when the Mingyue Mirror was shattered.
As the weapons clashed, a sonic wave emanated, causing pain to the eardrums.
Tang Lao, Professor Lin, and the others instinctively covered their ears, yet their minds felt disoriented and momentarily dizzy.
Behind them, the Wolf King, the historian, the biologist, the Taoist priest, and the architecture champion also covered their ears.
They all experienced a vision: an Azure Dragon attacking the vengeful spirits opposite them.
The vision vanished in an instant, leaving them profoundly shocked. What was happening? Why did they see such a thing?
Had they imagined it?
"I think I just saw an Azure Dragon, and many ghosts being disciplined by it. What's going on? Why would I see something like this?"
The historian asked the biologist beside him, full of surprise and confusion.
"I don't know. I find it very strange too. I don't understand why this is happening."
The biologist replied, puzzled.
"Could it be because of the sonic wave just now? That's why we saw an image?"
The Wolf King felt the sound was very similar to this.
It must be.
The others agreed, finding the explanation plausible.
Nearby viewers also instinctively covered their ears, experiencing the same vision.
"Damn, that was so sudden. I almost fell to my knees. What kind of sound was that?"
"Yeah, it was really sudden. It scared me to death. I thought it was fine before, but now my eardrums are about to burst. This is truly hellish."
"Is this the power of masters clashing? Holy crap, that's incredible. Isn't this the point where these two Taoists are so amazing?"
"Maybe. Enough said, I'm even more determined to become a disciple."
"Exactly. I'm waiting downstairs for the great master right now."
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin looked at the female Taoist with cold eyes upon hearing the sound, but a smile played on his lips, as if he had seen through many things.
"You've bound your copper coin sword with your heart's blood. Will your master be angry if he finds out?"
This message appeared in Zhou Lin's mind.
After Zhou Lin spoke, a flicker of disappointment crossed the female Taoist's face, but it vanished instantly. She completely disregarded her master's warning.
For Bai Hu, everything was worth it. No one could stop her.
"You will never understand our feelings. You will never know what love tastes like."
The female Taoist's heart was filled with displeasure, her voice even colder than before. She then exerted force with her arm, pushing towards Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin took a step back, flicked the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand, and two Azure Dragons emerged.
He then quickly looked at the electronic page, which displayed a compendium of Taoist magic.
All Taoist arts from ancient times to the present were within it. Zhou Lin's eyes lit up with joy.
The Azure Dragon Sword was effective against evil spirits. While this female Taoist was an evil entity, her Taoist magic still lingered, with a faint trace of righteous energy.
Because of this, the Azure Dragon would not kill her outright. Zhou Lin needed to learn some Taoist magic quickly to defend himself.
However, when he saw the points, his eyes nearly popped out. What the heck?
Fifty billion?
Damn it, he had only just acquired some points after killing the White Tiger General, and now he had to spend them. He hadn't even had time to enjoy them.
This was a swindler!
Zhou Lin's hatred for the system transferred to this woman. This woman...
It was all her fault. He had already taken a hundred thousand from Tang Lao, and now he had to spend fifty billion points. By all accounts, this was a losing deal. Was this person going too far?
But he had no choice but to accept his fate and begin to exchange for the compendium of Taoist magic. Immediately, memories that were not his own flooded his mind.
They were all-encompassing, containing numerous talismans and incantations, including lightning summoning techniques, puppet manipulation, and the art of splitting into three with one's essence.
