Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Dragon God Decree, Hear My Command! Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Dragon God Decree, Hear My Command! Evander Simpson’s usually calm face now showed a rare crack. He looked at Scarlett Jennings, with unmistakable disbelief in his gaze. “You...” He wanted to say that if she had never drawn before, how could she agree to the competition so readily? Was she planning to quit? The words were on the tip of his tongue but were forcibly swallowed back. He realized he had no right to ask such questions. After all, the challenge Gregory Xander initially proposed was aimed at both him and Scarlett Jennings. Originally, it was one against two, but he hadn’t even had the chance to help. Having been no help from start to finish, it would be too shameless to question the other party now. Wasn’t this the same as someone who freeloads on a group project and then complains? Thinking of this, Evander only gathered his thoughts, then earnestly pondered, “I’m not good at rainmaking, but my master also taught me. If necessary, let me give it a try.” He couldn’t let her shoulder everything alone. Scarlett Jennings listened to Evander’s words, raising an eyebrow slightly. After understanding his intention, her eyes curled up unintentionally, but she didn’t directly refuse his “goodwill.” “Alright.” Their voices weren’t loud, but since a personal cameraman was nearby, the ear microphone picked up the sound clearly. As a result, the livestream audience following Scarlett Jennings heard the content of her conversation with Evander. When they heard her say she had never drawn before, the audience’s expressions practically mirrored Evander’s initial reaction. In their hearts, they were anxious for their girl, worried she was playing too big this time. Then they heard Evander’s very responsible approach, and suddenly flooded the comments with [Senior Brother is so warm]. Hmm, completely different from Silly Xander. Gregory Xander was unaware of the situation with Scarlett Jennings and Evander. After confirming the topic, Leander already asked the new students to prepare the necessary items. Before long, a table was set up in front of Benedict Stone Body’s plaza, with vermillion yellow paper and various required tools on it. Gregory Xander looked at Scarlett Jennings and unexpectedly said, “I won’t take advantage of you. As long as you succeed in summoning rain, regardless of the amount, you win.” He wasn’t sure if Scarlett knew rainmaking, but he had some research on the Rainmaking Talisman. Considering the unequal learning bases, he didn’t want to be accused of bullying the young. So even if she managed to summon just one drop of rain, he’d count it as her win. Scarlett heard this and didn’t overconfidently say that she didn’t need his concession; instead, she nodded and accepted his compromise, then gestured with her hand, “Senior Brother, please go ahead.” Gregory Xander walked to the display table, quickly calculated the position with his hands, then picked up a large calligraphy brush as thick as an infant’s fist, starting to write a formation on the ground in front of Benedict Stone Body. The show’s cameraman immediately moved forward to capture his technique closely. Everyone watched as he bent over, raised the brush, and slowly began to create a Bagua Talisman Array. Strictly speaking, a Rainmaking Talisman is a talisman array. Because to invoke the heavens’ clouds and rain, a single piece of talisman paper isn’t enough. Perhaps some people could do it, back in ancient times when Spiritual Energy was abundant, and powerful Masters could summon rain and thunder with a wave of their hand. But today, with scarce Spiritual Energy and varying qualifications among the Mystical Sect, they can only request orders from heaven through talisman arrays and incantations. The Heavenly Dao would respond as deemed appropriate. Gregory Xander was not unfamiliar with the rainmaking talisman array, having succeeded in summoning rain nine times out of ten attempts in the Mystical Sect, indicating he was of high aptitude. Nonetheless, it almost took him fifteen minutes to complete the talisman array. He wasn’t drawing particularly fast, but his movements were very fluid, finishing the talisman array without interruption. When he finished drawing the talisman array, everyone saw him raise his hand and toss the brush aside, then swiftly seated himself directly in front of the talisman array. His hands quickly formed seals, accompanied by powerful incantations, “Five Thunders General, Thunder Chasing Cloud, mighty wind swirls, fierce mist swishes. Heavenly Talisman Appearance, Great Protection of Heaven and Earth...” The livestream audience saw the glaring sun above Gregory get gradually obscured by clouds, then swiftly gather into a cluster of dark clouds. “...Rivers and lakes traverse, Five Mountains Tour, Dragon God Decree, heed my command!” As his last words echoed, everyone watched the cloud above swell with increasing density, waiting approximately a minute and a half. The first drop of rain fell. Then a second, a third... The staff reached out in disbelief, soon collecting tiny, dense raindrops in their palms. The fine drizzle had the taste of much-needed relief after a long drought. Everyone present was astonished, unable to believe he had actually summoned rain. The livestream audience was equally flabbergasted, now completely convinced. [My Senior Brother might be a bit ill-tempered, but he’s genuinely strong.] [My stoic yet charming Senior Brother, if only you weren’t so stubborn, we’d vote you as our sixth guest!] [Live broadcast rainmaking, I declare this series of “Inspiration” to be another big win.] [Director Clark, are you happy? If so, you better enjoy it while it lasts, since it might not always be this fun.] [“Ugh, will my girl lose this time?”] [She may just be a newbie, so not knowing how to summon rain is understandable, right?] [Senior Brother Xander, as long as you don’t force my girl out of the show, we’ll forgive anything you do!] [You’re all fair-weather fans! My girl hasn’t even stepped up yet; how do you know she’ll lose?!] [I believe in my Fairy Lady; my Fairy Lady can do anything!] [“Ugh... we don’t want to jinx it, but she said she hadn’t summoned rain before.”] Due to Gregory Xander’s performance, the direction of the livestream audience’s attention inevitably shifted towards him. Director Clark looked at the comments on the screen and couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious, watching Scarlett Jennings on the camera, unable to restrain his worry. His Scarlett could not lose. If she lost, his show would be completely doomed. The crowd’s anxiety lingered for about ten minutes, then Gregory Xander finally slowly released the seals on his hands. As the magic dissipated, the light rain that had been falling steadily also stopped quickly. In no time, the sky cleared again. Everyone saw the academy square washed by the rain, now looking at Gregory Xander with more complexity or admiration in their eyes. Ordinary Taoists summoning rain would never have such control. This demonstrated Gregory Xander’s solid ability. Thinking this, everyone looked at Scarlett Jennings again, with more worry in their eyes. Could this be done? “No worries, didn’t he just say, as long as she summons some rain, Scarlett wins?” Ariel Zimmerman tried to self-comfort in a low voice. But those listening nearby didn’t feel all that reassured. Even without understanding mysticism, they knew summoning rain wasn’t easy. And this rain by Gregory was extraordinary; unless Scarlett summons even more rain, people might say she didn’t win honorably, even if pre-arranged. Sebastian Carew thought this over, expressing his concern, to which Scarlett Jennings quietly listened before she slightly tilted her head and seriously asked back, “Then to summon more rain than this would do, right?”
