Chapitre 161: Chapter 161: The Midnight Ring 16

I stood before the table, bowed thrice towards the incense burner, then picked up my brush and drew a Soul Summoning Talisman. Clasping the talisman with my sword fingers, I rotated it three times over the incense burner in each direction. After completing nine circles around the Eight Trigrams using the Seven Star Step, the talisman in my hand caught fire. I then stomped my right foot forcefully and pointed my sword fingers at the tile on the Eight Trigrams Mirror, uttering a soft chant... Break!

Crack! With my command, "Break!", a small crack appeared in the tile, but it did not split in half, which meant the result was the same as Wang Duo's, albeit slightly better.

Break! Break! Break! I chanted softly three more times, and the crack widened somewhat. I had wanted to chant a few more times, but the talisman had nearly burnt out, scalding my hand. I flicked away the remaining bits of the talisman and shook my head, looking towards Wang Duo.
