When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 119 : Yuyin versus Jiang Da

119: Yuyin versus Jiang Da

The weapon Lan Lianyue used was also similar to a controlled instrument, a Flying Sword-like Moon Blade, but it was clearly much faster and more versatile. What was truly baffling was that before they even exchanged blows, she had already caused Xiang Wu to fall into a state as if he were blinded and possessed, acting as if guided by ghosts and gods.

What exactly was this method, similar to an illusion? Although Yuyin had experienced it before, that was during normal conversations with Senior Sister Lian. On the competition stage, when swords and blades clashed in an instant, it would be a completely different matter.

However, it was still a bit early for Yuyin to consider this problem. The first opponent she had to face was Jiang Da in the semi-finals.

After the Top 8 matches ended, Yuyin returned to her dorm room in the evening. Wearing only a black bra and matching lace panties, she lay on her bed, enjoying a post-battle relaxation massage from Little Yuan and Yingluo.

At this moment, Yuyin, with her eyes closed, rested her head on her arms with a hint of leisure, but her attention was not on the massage.

She was thinking about her battle with Jiang Da, how she should fight it.

Jiang Da, at the Spirit-Seeking Perfection realm, possessed monstrous, innate strength. Not only was he immensely strong, but he was also very agile. He was a born Strongman. His physical strength was at least double that of Yuwen Wenhong. The Daoist Arts Department was a relatively late-blooming field. At this stage, its practitioners could mainly use Flying Swords and had almost no actual spells they could use. For one, the competition forbade the use of truly precious spell talismans. For another, the Lingdu Source Martial Academy's Daoist Arts Department was not the strongest. It still had a gap compared to old, established sects like Wudang, Kunlun, Emei, and Tianshan.

Therefore, Jiang Da's combat strength on the stage was much greater than Yuwen Wenhong's.

However, after watching Jiang Da's match with Senior Sister Liu Xing, although he had beaten her badly, Yuyin was confident she had a good chance against him. Senior Sister Liu Xing had suffered from a strength that was far inferior to her opponent's, but Yuyin's strength was not afraid of Jiang Da.

At this moment, what Yuyin was mainly thinking about was not whether she could defeat Jiang Da.

But how to win.

"My Soul Charm Points are currently at 816. If I can defeat Jiang Da in a battle that shocks everyone, is it possible for me to break through 1,000 Soul Charm Points?"

"If I can break 1,000, then I can restore that mysterious sword technique of the ancient swordswoman."

Yuyin knew that even if she could defeat Jiang Da now, and perhaps even fight Senior Sister Jing to a standstill, if she faced Lan Lianyue, she would have almost no chance of winning.

Although no one expected Yuyin to win, she had already come this far. Yuyin certainly didn't want to admit defeat before the fight even started.

At the very least, if she made all the preparations she could, she would have no regrets.

"Jiang Da... my Soul Charm Points are counting on you." Yuyin said with her head tilted, her long hair cascading down, in a relaxed manner.

"Ah... Little Yuan, where are you massaging? And Yingluo, did you not learn properly, or are you deliberately not learning well, copying Little Yuan and always massaging the wrong places?" Yuyin suddenly frowned slightly. While she was lost in thought, Little Yuan's hands had repeatedly slipped to places they shouldn't be...

Yuyin's face flushed slightly. She sternly criticized Little Yuan and Yingluo a few words, but as she spoke, a wisp of white air escaped from her moist lips.

On the weekend, the semi-finals began.

"The first match will be between the contestant who fought her way up from the first-year group, whose performance has repeatedly astonished us, and the Direct Disciple of the Swordsman Department Head, Teacher Chen Qian'ning… Xia Yuyin! She will face the strongest Strongman among our academy's third-years and below, the Direct Disciple of the Strongman Department Head, Teacher Wan Kui'an… Jiang Da!"

Holding the microphone, Jiang Xue spoke with elegance and passion, drawing endless cheers and thunderous applause from the packed arena.

This was a battle between Direct Disciples. In a sense, it was also a battle between the two great departments led by Chen Qian'ning and Wan Kui'an.

The winner, regardless of the final match outcome, would hold a significant advantage in the preliminary allocations for the next academic year.

Yuyin, wearing that fairy-like white dress and carrying her silver longsword on her back, was graceful, her dress fluttering.

Her opponent, Jiang Da, was like an ancient gladiator. He was shirtless, with well-developed, magnificent muscles. He wore a thick, copper-studded belt around his waist and held two copper hammers. Of course, these hammers were composite materials converted for competition use.

"Xia Yuyin, my Junior Brothers from the first and second years were both defeated by you. Today, I will take that loss back from you." Jiang Da said as he strode toward Yuyin.

Yuyin initially intended to ignore him, but on second thought, she walked over to him and said, "I seem to have heard similar words before I fought your Junior Brothers. Did you teach them that?"

Hearing this, Jiang Da's thick brows furrowed, and the veins on his forehead bulged. "This time is different. You will regret your arrogance, Miss Campus Belle."

As per custom, Yuyin and Jiang Da first stepped forward to bow. However, during the bow, Jiang Da leaned in and whispered to Yuyin, "But you're even more beautiful than Liu Xing. To be honest, I'm a bit reluctant to hit you. How about this, if you promise to hang out with me during summer break, I'll go easy on you today."

"Hehe, I don't know where you get your confidence, but I'll pass on hanging out. However, since you care so much about your Junior Brothers, I can give you a little gesture on their behalf." Yuyin said casually.

"Oh?" Jiang Da was taken aback. He was immensely strong and had a high talent for combat, but he wasn't very smart. He would never do things like studying opponent videos or tactical analysis. After a competition, he would either feast and drink or continue to build his muscles. As for Wan Kui'an's warnings to him, upon seeing Yuyin's slender, fragrant, and soft body, he had long forgotten them.

Yuyin deliberately turned her back, walked to one side of the stage, and faced away from Jiang Da, extending three slender fingers.

"Senior Brother Jiang Da, today I will give you three moves. Within these three moves, I will not draw my sword. If you want to reclaim your losses for your Junior Brothers, then defeat me within three moves. After three moves, you probably won't have a chance."

"What!?" Jiang Da's entire body flushed red with anger. A first-year Junior Sister, not only was she not afraid of him, but she also dared to declare she would give him three moves, and she deliberately walked toward the camera so the whole audience could hear? This made Jiang Da feel very humiliated before the fight even began. How could this little woman not be afraid of him, Jiang Da?

"Ding, from Jiang Da's angry heart and soul fluctuation. Gained 20 Soul Charm Points."

Yuyin lowered her head, slightly satisfied in her heart.

Not just Jiang Da, but even the surrounding audience were stirred up by Yuyin's pre-match words, contributing a dozen or so Soul Charm Points.

"Goddess Yuyin, this is the style and bearing of a true goddess!"

"Goddess Yuyin isn't even putting that big fatty in her eyes."

"Goddess Yuyin, be careful! I can't accept you losing." a few girls shouted worriedly. "Don't provoke Jiang Da. He has bullied countless girls in this school."

"Teach that Jiang Da a harsh lesson!" many students who had been bullied by Jiang Da also shouted. There were also many neutral spectators who, simply because Yuyin was good-looking, directly supported her.

"Bastard! How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me, you little bitch. I'll make you suffer worse than Liu Xing!" Jiang Da trembled with rage, his eyes looking even more ferocious.

Even Jiang Xue was a little worried. She took a deep breath before announcing, "Begin the match."

Boom!

How could Jiang Da endure it? He directly erupted with a surge of Primordial Energy. Behind him, the vague figure of a giant black bear reappeared, charging towards Yuyin like a truly enraged beast.

His left hammer, heavy and menacing, swung directly towards Yuyin's slender and beautiful back!

In an instant, Yuyin's black hair flew up, and her white dress danced. She stepped out with her long, jade-like legs, dodging Jiang Da's copper hammer in a single step. At the same time, she turned, clearly having circled to Jiang Da's side, a position favorable for launching an attack.

Jiang Da, who was naturally gifted in combat, was also startled. He whipped his head around to look at Yuyin, only to see her standing at his side, her hands behind her back as promised, standing tall and graceful, her white dress fluttering.

This made a surge of rage rise in Jiang Da's chest. His left copper hammer swung backhand horizontally. Yuyin had already anticipated this and took a step back to dodge. Jiang Da's right hammer then chopped straight down towards Yuyin's head.

At this moment, Yuyin's feet were already at the edge of the stage. She showed no fear, moving lightly and swiftly along the edge of the stage in two quick sidesteps.

Bang!

Jiang Da's copper hammer smashed a piece of the edge of the stage, creating a dent. He had used too much force and nearly fell off the stage. He barely managed to stop himself, breaking into a cold sweat.

"One move." Yuyin said softly and ethereally from beside him.
