Hu Wenhai's entry into the Dark Moon Palace caused quite a stir within the Grand Sky Sect.

Especially the competition among the palace heads to recruit him, which made Hu Wenhai a hot topic among the sect's disciples.

"Hey, have you heard? Senior Brother Xinghe discovered a talisman genius, and the palace heads almost fought over him..."

"Almost? I heard they actually did fight. Elder He and Elder Yu came to blows, and if it weren't for the Great Elder's quick intervention, half of Spirit Crane Palace would have been destroyed..."

"It wasn't just Elder He and Elder Yu; several other elders were ready to join in..."

"I heard it was the Great Sage who finally suppressed the palace heads?"

"That's right... So in the end, Junior Brother Hu Wenhai was assigned to the Dark Moon Palace."

"Tsk tsk tsk... The talent discovered by Junior Brother Xinghe, this Hu Wenhai might be the future King of Talismans!"

"I heard Senior Brother Xinghe gave him the nickname 'Thunder Hand'!"

"No doubt about it. I heard he's from the Hu Family, whose ancestor was once the King of Talismans on the Blazing Sun Continent. The ancestor of the Gongsun Family knelt at the Hu Family's door for three years to receive guidance. Although the Hu Family later declined, with Hu Wenhai being discovered by Senior Brother Xinghe, their rise is inevitable."

"To be noticed by Senior Brother Xinghe, how strong must his talent be?"

"How strong? I heard the Gongsun Family has publicly announced their withdrawal from the three great families..."

"Is the Gongsun Family that cowardly?"

"Sister, is this about cowardice? The Gongsun Family is just being pragmatic..."

The news of a super genius, Hu Wenhai, the future King of Talismans, spread throughout the sect.

Driven by curiosity about Hu Wenhai, countless brothers and sisters from the Grand Sky Sect flocked to the Dark Moon Palace to see what this future King of Talismans was all about.

But what they saw almost made them pee their pants.

This 260-pound guy is the future King of Talismans?

But why does he seem not very smart?

You can't judge a book by its cover!

The brothers and sisters from various palaces observed in secret, and as they watched, they were genuinely shocked!

No wonder he's called Thunder Hand Hu Wenhai! His speed made countless brothers and sisters from the Ice Palace, known for their speed, break out in a cold sweat.

Is this hand speed even humanly possible?

Isn't this hand speed more suited for practicing hidden weapons?

Among our Ice Palace disciples, the fastest record is Senior Brother Leng's thirty-six Soul-Piercing Nails in one second!

But look at how many times Hu Wenhai struck while making talismans just now?

A total of forty-four times... meaning his speed is even faster than Senior Brother Leng?

Seeing this, the brothers and sisters from the Ice Palace couldn't help but marvel. No wonder he's the talent discovered by Senior Brother Xinghe; the name Thunder Hand is well-deserved.

But while the hand speed is astonishing, why do the talismans he makes seem a bit odd?

Normally, successfully crafted talismans emit a rune glow, and the stronger the glow, the better the talisman's effect. But why do the talismans made by Junior Brother Hu Wenhai have no rune glow at all?

Could it be that Junior Brother Hu Wenhai's skills have reached a level where he can hide the rune glow?

Finally, a group of curious brothers and sisters approached Hu Wenhai.

"You're the Thunder Hand Junior Brother, right..."

Faced with the inquiries from many brothers and sisters, Hu Wenhai hurriedly greeted them.

"Ah? Hu Wenhai greets all the brothers and sisters."

"No need for formalities, Junior Brother. We're just curious about talismans and wanted to take a look. We won't disturb you, will we?"

"No, no... Feel free to ask me anything you want to know, brothers and sisters. I'll tell you everything I know."

Then, the brothers and sisters asked Hu Wenhai in detail about talismans. But what they learned left the scene somewhat out of control...

Hu Wenhai spoke eloquently about various talismans, whether it was crafting or usage, it was absolutely authentic.

No wonder he's the future King of Talismans from the once-great Hu Family; his theoretical knowledge is top-notch.

But when asked why there was no rune glow, Hu Wenhai's words left many brothers and sisters dumbfounded.

With a confident face, Hu Wenhai said, "Sister, you ask why there's no rune glow. It's actually quite simple... It's mainly because I failed!"

The crowd: "???"

The brothers and sisters were all stunned... They even wondered if they had misheard.

Is this something a person would say?

Mainly because I failed?

Junior Brother Hu Wenhai... can you not say 'failed' as if it were a success?

You're making it easy for us all to misunderstand, okay?

Then Hu Wenhai enthusiastically explained his talismans to the brothers and sisters.

His Thunder Hand Hu Wenhai's talismans emphasize speed... In terms of crafting talismans, even the fastest ancestor of the Hu Family is no match for him.

A talisman master is a very special profession. Generally, talisman masters prepare various talismans in advance and activate them during battle.

So a talisman master must have talismans ready to fight.

And a talisman master without talismans has basically zero combat power.

But Hu Wenhai said he had no such concerns because his hand speed was as fast as thunder, allowing him to craft any talisman he wanted while fighting.

He is the first talisman master in history who can craft talismans while fighting, no matter how complex, he can complete them instantly, emphasizing surprise.

But the only current issue is... the success rate of crafting talismans is somewhat less than ideal.

After hearing Hu Wenhai's words, the brothers and sisters were all dumbfounded.

What the hell is this?

What do you mean by the first talisman master who can craft while fighting?

Junior Brother... from a certain perspective, you're not even a talisman master, okay?

A talisman master must first be able to successfully craft talismans to be called a talisman master. You can't even craft talismans successfully, and you call yourself a talisman master?

But in response to the brothers' and sisters' doubts, Hu Wenhai confidently smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters, the success rate of talismans can always be improved with practice, but this speed and the ability to craft while fighting, you tell me, isn't that unique to me, Hu Wenhai..."

"Forget everything else, just tell me if I'm fast or not!"

Moreover, Hu Wenhai said that with the abundant resources provided by Senior Brother Xinghe, his talisman crafting speed has improved by leaps and bounds, increasing by 30% in a short time!

If this continues, his crafting speed will reach an unimaginable level.

The confidence of Hu Wenhai left all the brothers and sisters dumbfounded.

Well... although we don't understand talismans, Junior Brother... is your training direction wrong?

Logically, shouldn't a talisman master first ensure success rate and then improve speed on that basis?

You're fast now, but you have no success rate. What's the point?

Outer Disciple Ma Liang, upon hearing this news, immediately sought out Senior Brother Xinghe.

Regarding Hu Wenhai's incredible training direction, Ma Liang expressed his doubts on the spot.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... I think Hu Wenhai's way of training is just wasting resources... Should I go talk to him?"

Hearing Ma Liang's words, Chu Xinghe almost couldn't suppress the Thunder Shadow!

What do you mean, just go talk to him?

Ma Liang, do you understand talismans?

Hu Wenhai is a professional... He's the future King of Talismans, and you're an amateur saying he's unprofessional? You're going to advise him?

Do you have any shame?

Why don't you let Hu Wenhai advise you on the Wan Ghosts formation?

And what gives you the right to say his training direction is wrong?

As they say, there are thousands of paths to greatness, and I just love speed...

Tell me, what's wrong with that?

Ma Liang, you know nothing... What's wrong with being fast... What's wrong with a low success rate?

"Ma Liang, let me give you an analogy. On the battlefield, if you encounter a talisman master who can strike once in a moment, no matter how fierce his talismans are, would you be afraid?"

Ma Liang shook his head.

"But if you encounter a talisman master who can strike over a hundred times in a moment, and even he doesn't know which will succeed, and you can't figure out which will succeed, isn't that unpredictability terrifying?"

Ma Liang suddenly understood.

Senior Brother Xinghe makes sense!

Think about it, two talisman masters, one can only strike one talisman at a time, even if it's 100% successful, but once he strikes, you can defend against it.

But if you encounter one who strikes over a hundred talismans at once, and even he doesn't know which will succeed, how do you defend against that?

And as Hu Wenhai said, the success rate can be practiced. Even if Hu Wenhai is consuming resources like crazy now, with a success rate so low that it makes people doubt if he was brought by Senior Brother Xinghe just to consume sect resources.

But over time, not just a person, even a pig, with enough practice, can improve its success rate.

Ma Liang thought for a moment, and Hu Wenhai doesn't even need to reach the normal success rate of a talisman master. If he has even a 30% or even 20% success rate, how terrifying would that be?

On the battlefield, a guy who can throw out over a hundred talismans in a breath, even if only two or three succeed, that's still twenty or thirty talismans flying around...

This isn't a talisman master; this is practically a mobile artillery!

So Senior Brother Xinghe is right!

In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that can't be broken!

Other talisman masters all pursue success rates, but they're all wrong... Speed is the essence of a talisman master.

It turns out Senior Brother Xinghe saw Hu Wenhai's strength from the beginning. Although Hu Wenhai is now consuming sect resources like crazy, he has opened up a whole new path for talisman masters. If Hu Wenhai succeeds, he will be a pioneering master of a new school!

Compared to nurturing a pioneering master, what's the big deal about consuming a few resources from the sect...
