Chapter 1338: Chapter 672: Success or Failure Hinges on This Move (Part 2)

But now, Lin Beichen was somewhat convinced.

Before Lin Beichen could respond, Ji Fan continued, "What’s the matter, not going to make a move? Honestly, I can guarantee that whatever you perform today, I can perfectly prove and explain it with science. Plus, I can replicate it just like you. How about it, dare to challenge?

If you’re backing out now, it’s fine, I can just withdraw the media, save you some face. But if you actually perform and get denied, that’s when you truly lose all dignity."

Lin Beichen did not answer, he just let out a cold laugh. Then, he took out a light blue talisman paper, which burned fiercely in mid-air and flew upward.

The scene was enough to amaze everyone. Many reporters followed the talisman with their eyes, and the cameras turned towards it too.

In an instant, the talisman paper transformed into a blue bird, which truly amazed everyone.

They couldn’t help but doubt their eyes, but the cameras clearly recorded everything. There was no error, it wasn’t a mistake in what they saw, it was genuinely happening.

Everyone was speechless, even Ji Fan himself was momentarily stunned.

Turning a piece of paper into a bird is not uncommon in magic. However, the blue talisman paper first burned and flew into the air before transforming into a bird, which was truly rare.

While everyone was marveling over this, Ji Fan became somewhat impatient. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this, and what was the big deal anyway, just turning into a bird, he could do that as well.

Isn’t this just basic skills? Ji Fan snorted, then interrupted the media and said to the reporters, "This is merely a simple magic trick, you really are inexperienced. I can casually perform several like this."

Saying that, Ji Fan removed his hat, and as soon as he took it off, a dove flew out from inside and landed firmly on his shoulder.

There’s no denying, magic is magic; before everyone could react, a dove appeared out of thin air, and it flew out from inside the hat.

The hat was so small, it didn’t seem able to contain a dove, which amazed the crowd, and the surprise was as much as what Lin Beichen had just done.

Lin Beichen raised an eyebrow, sighing secretly in his heart, "Nowadays, anyone can perform magic, such things are just small tricks, hidden mysteries at best."

"And this is just a magic trick that can be seen through at a glance, it’s really not technically challenging, you’d better go cultivate for a few hundred years before coming back."

Of course, this was not something for Lin Beichen to say out loud. After all, the reporters were watching with such enthusiasm. If he publicly exposed Ji Fan as a fraud in front of all the media, it wouldn’t benefit him in any way.

Besides, Lin Beichen could confirm Ji Fan is a magician, and magicians surely have more than one trick. If he spoke up, Ji Fan might respond with an impressive one, and Lin Beichen would be in trouble.

After all, his Daoist Skill was considered wasted in such a place, and he didn’t want to display too much, as it would make his Daoist Skill look cheap.

Seeing the reporters’ strong reactions, Ji Fan felt proud again. He looked at Lin Beichen smugly and said coldly, "What, got nothing more to add? I told you, I can explain all your actions scientifically with myself, do you still think you’re a Daoist?

Let’s be real, even in dreams one should wake up, with so many cameras pointed at you, stop fantasizing, there can’t possibly be Daoists in this world, we’re all just magicians, admitting you’re a magician can’t be that hard, can it?

Just not as impressive as me playing around casually."

These words from him weren’t very hurtful but extremely insulting.

Lin Beichen finally had enough, his face turned unpleasant as he aggressively looked at Ji Fan and said coldly, "Then for what’s next, I hope you’ll watch closely. If you can explain my actions scientifically, then I will believe what you say, right? But only that."

With that, Lin Beichen took out another piece of talisman paper. People saw Lin Beichen’s expression and knew he was about to get serious, the cameras immediately aimed at Lin Beichen.

Reporters began diligently recording, this was a great opportunity to earn some money, they couldn’t let it slip away.

Lin Beichen used his hand to cut a paperman on the yellow talisman paper. Then, the yellow talisman instantly caught fire, Lin Beichen didn’t even do anything, yet the paper began burning, truly astonishing everyone. Whether it was before or now, seeing talisman papers catch fire was a first for them.

A reporter sneakily moved his camera closer and sighed, "Why do these magicians seem so weird?"

"Whether magician or Daoist, being able to make paper burn, honestly, I’ve never seen it. Besides, Lin Beichen is really quite absurd."

Lin Beichen heard the words, but how could he not? Absurd? Oh, it was far from over. What followed would be even more unbelievable.

The yellow paperman suddenly sprang to life, once just a lifeless figure, now seemed imbued with Spiritual Qi, it began moving, walking, and jumping.

Finally, it ran towards the burning talisman paper, which made everyone’s eyes widen, truly unexpected development.

They gasped like they’d seen ghost, chatting away.

"What is this? Is this real? Don’t be ridiculous, this can’t be some kind of monster, right? I’ve never seen this kind of magic, is this a magician’s competition?"

"This is too much, my mind is a mess, can someone explain what’s truly happening?"

Ji Fan was shocked too, not just the reporters, even he was stunned. If anything, he definitely couldn’t achieve that.

After all, this was beyond human capacity, wasn’t it? But he wouldn’t admit he was wrong.

Ji Fan snorted and said confidently, "These are just petty tricks, can this paperman have more moves?"

As if to confirm his statement, the paperman energetically ran towards the burning talisman paper and finally embraced the burning paper and turned to ashes.

Now, no one spoke, even the red lights on the cameras stopped flashing, as if to solemnly witness that moment.

Ji Fan swallowed hard, incredulously looking at Lin Beichen and thought to himself, "Damn, is this even human?"

No doubt, what happened was beyond his capabilities.

Not just him, probably in the whole industry, even if you gathered all magicians, none could achieve such feat, it was just too outrageous!

Earlier, when the paperman suddenly began moving, it made everyone present shiver, Ji Fan couldn’t help but marvel at the sight. If there weren’t cameras recording, he might have already rushed over to investigate.

Other people were more than shocked, it felt more like terror. Such scenes, almost like ghostly encounters, sent chills down their spines.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze towards Lin Beichen changed, cameras that focused on Ji Fan now nearly all turned onto Lin Beichen.

"Excuse me sir, that trick you just did, can it still be considered magic? No matter how you see it, it’s truly a one-of-a-kind skill, right?" Someone couldn’t help but ask. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Hearing this, Lin Beichen couldn’t help but feel a sense of emotion. It seems revival of Daoist Skill is inevitably necessary.
