Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Rainmaking

The final comment flashed by, snapping the audience back from their shock of realizing, "The one messaging Scarlett Jennings is actually a female ghost."

They hadn’t forgotten that today’s three rounds of assistance mattered for the victory between Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander.

But...

"How can this be called cheating?"

"Exactly! Connections are a kind of strength too!"

"Isn’t the Ghost Network considered a strength? Would you dare to loudly claim it’s not?"

"I don’t care, in my eyes, my girl already won!"

"I admit Silly Xander has some skills, but in the third round, Scarlett definitely won."

"I mean, isn’t your favoritism a bit too obvious? Senior Brother Xander competed seriously, how would he feel seeing you all act like this? It’s really not right. So, Senior Brother Xander, have you prepared yourself to apologize to our Ariel?"

"The person upstairs almost made me raise my sword in anger!"

Most of the audience in the live stream unthinkingly took Scarlett Jennings’s side.

After all, if this were an ordinary competition, it would be fine, but the issue was that it was agreed in advance that if Scarlett Jennings lost, she would have to resign from the show!

For that reason, the audience couldn’t bear to see Scarlett Jennings lose.

After four episodes, anyone with eyes knew who was supporting this show; everyone had gotten used to following Scarlett Jennings’s rhythm in solving those bizarre incidents.

It’s not like they believed Scarlett Jennings was cheating.

Even if she did cheat today, their girl had to win!

Don’t ask, the answer is: unconditional adoration!

Gregory Xander watched the comments fly by in the live stream, his face showing little expression.

Among the silent guests in the live stream, it was Scarlett Jennings who first spoke up,

"This round’s request was to exchange his wife’s soul back, and strictly speaking, neither Senior Brother Xander nor I completed it, so this round is a tie."

Her voice was calm, as if she were merely stating a fact.

The live stream audience expressed their disapproval en masse.

They were urging her to take back her words immediately.

Gregory Xander’s originally expressionless face showed a slight frown at her words. He turned to look at her, his tone showing obvious displeasure,

"Are you pitying me?"

Scarlett Jennings met his gaze without expression, "I’m just stating facts."

After speaking, she didn’t wait for him to continue protesting. She simply turned to the camera and decisively said, "Let’s add another round."

Arguing was meaningless, since this round’s result would always leave grounds for talk.

If she won, they would claim she cheated; if she admitted defeat, they’d say she was being sympathetic.

Since there were already criticisms brewing, why not be straightforward and have another round while there was still time?

Director Clark naturally had no objection upon hearing this.

When the audience in the live stream heard there would be another round, they instantly expressed their readiness.

Gregory Xander hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then agreed.

Just as everyone was gearing up for a fourth extra round, the rarely appearing instructors and Leander approached.

"For the fourth round, why don’t I propose a challenge?"

Both of them held phones, indicating they had been watching the live stream all along.

Scarlett Jennings was evidently taken aback in the live stream, and the surrounding new students straightened their backs in attention when they saw the instructors approach.

Gregory Xander also stood up to greet the two teachers with a nod, then said,

"Then please, Teacher, propose the challenge."

Leander smiled and then looked at Scarlett Jennings, "Student Jennings, what’s your opinion?"

After her initial surprise, Scarlett quickly composed herself and agreed, "Please, Teacher, propose the challenge."

The lead instructor looked at her, nodding slightly in satisfaction, then glanced at the camera in front of her as if to reassure the audience,

"I heard you’re skilled in Talismanic Magic. Considering you’re a new student, let’s base this challenge on talismans."

As he spoke, he glanced at Leander beside him, "You’re her recruiting teacher, why don’t you propose the challenge?"

Upon hearing this, Leander grinned at Scarlett Jennings, "Sure thing."

Saying this, he suddenly looked up at the blazing sun, as if casually commenting, "It’s been two months with no rain. How about we summon some rain?"

His words seemed casual, but the new students present were visibly startled, and even Nathan White beside them showed some unease.

Upon hearing the challenge, Gregory Xander first frowned, then nodded, "I can do it."

After saying this, he turned to look at Scarlett Jennings, as if asking for her opinion.

Scarlett Jennings was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I can do it."

The audience in the live stream hadn’t fully processed what was happening, but the decision had already been made.

First, everyone was in an uproar; then, they couldn’t help but get excited.

Why not, because it’s rainmaking!

These days, while people are accustomed to artificial rain, they’ve never seen a genuine rainmaking!

Although they’ve witnessed various mystical methods in today’s live stream, it didn’t dampen their desire to see a rainmaking spell!

Everyone felt that watching this live stream was utterly worthwhile, making even sitting through four hours of meditation in the morning seem trivial.

All were eagerly waiting to record this, while the program staff and observing new students shared the excitement.

For the former, it was a chance to witness mystical rainmaking firsthand; for the latter, it was because very few could successfully draw a Rainmaking Talisman.

Let’s just say that the Rainmaking Talisman is considered an intermediate level among the various talismans, not only due to its complexity but also because, even if one successfully draws a Rainmaking Talisman, it might not bring down the rain.

Whether the rainmaking succeeds depends more on personal ability.

At least among new students, they had no one capable of it.

As a disciple of the Mountain First Sect and a senior brother, Gregory Xander presumably didn’t find rainmaking difficult.

In comparison, Scarlett Jennings seemed somewhat pitiful.

Yes, pitiful.

Most of the new students present thought that Teacher Yan purposely made things difficult for Scarlett by posing such a challenge, clearly favoring Senior Brother Xander.

Earlier, while they had witnessed Scarlett’s talents, the screen didn’t do her justice; she could only be said to observe things and think a bit more clearly than most.

But when it came to real-world ability, Senior Brother Xander certainly had the edge.

It’s truly regrettable.

If she lost this round, she wouldn’t be able to continue recording the show.

However, there was no helping it.

For a moment, there was a trace of sympathy in the students’ eyes as they looked at Scarlett.

Evander Simpson, naturally aware of the surrounding new students’ glances, wasn’t worried like the others.

Perhaps before, he would have worried Scarlett couldn’t surpass Gregory Xander, but knowing her alter ego was the Master Ruosheng, he truly wasn’t concerned at all.

After all, in terms of talismans, he had never seen anyone with talent to match hers.

Yes, although he wasn’t worried, when Scarlett moved past, Evander couldn’t resist asking, "You’ve drawn a Rainmaking Talisman before, right? No problem, right?"

In his view, Scarlett must have drawn one before; otherwise, she wouldn’t accept the challenge.

However, after asking, Scarlett turned to look at him, her almond-shaped eyes reflecting a bit of silence.

Evander was first taken aback, then his expression slowly shifted,

"You—you haven’t drawn one before, have you?"

Scarlett just looked at Evander like that, then, after a while, seriously uttered,

"Although I haven’t drawn one before, it should probably be fine."
