68: The Mid-Laner Campus Belle
"Your score has reached five points, so you may choose one weapon," the senior female student said, her face slightly flushed as she looked at the wet, white fabric on Yuyin's chest.
Yuyin had already spotted the weapon she wanted. She directly picked up the longest wooden sword, turned without a moment's rest, and charged straight into the middle path.
"This... this woman!" Several Red Team boys on the middle path were shocked.
"She got a weapon and came right back? Despicable!" Qin Feizhen's eyes narrowed on the Red Island. He had seen Yuyin's intention. She was going to take advantage of the fact that no one else had a weapon yet!
"The top scorer of the college entrance exam? Indeed, her Primordial Energy is high and she's not stupid... Hmph, but people like her often have a fatal flaw," Qin Feizhen sneered coldly. "Things go too smoothly for them in the beginning, which often leads to a lack of stamina later on. Look at all the top scorers over the years. After entering university, don't they just blend into the crowd? At best, they end up in the upper-middle ranks. Tell me, which top scorer of the college entrance exam later became famous throughout Huaxia? None."
Wielding a wooden longsword about 1.1 meters long, Yuyin passed two of her own charging teammates and rushed toward the middle path battlefield. The air cushions were slick with water from the previous fights, but Yuyin's speed was clearly faster than the others.
"This woman..." Seeing Yuyin charging at him with a sword, the burly Hu Yidun was a bit unprepared.
"Get her!"
Hu Yidun was very strong. He suddenly shoved a skinny Red Team boy, sending him stumbling toward Yuyin.
Yuyin immediately dodged, while Hu Yidun, from behind, threw a punch not unlike a wooden mallet at Yuyin. This punch already carried layers of faint Primordial Energy.
In an instant, the fist was at Yuyin's face.
Yuyin's movements were swift yet graceful. Her feet didn't move; she simply swayed her upper body to dodge the punch, taking a small step back to Hu Yidun's side. This was the evasive body technique from the Polaris Sword Art.
"Not good!" Although Hu Yidun was fat, he was very agile for his size and was a combat genius. He immediately sensed the danger.
In his haste, Hu Yidun threw a clumsy counterpunch, the kind a brawler might use. However, Yuyin's wooden sword had already made its move.
Whoosh! Thud!
A muffled sound that shook the hearts of everyone present. Yuyin's wooden sword swung in a perfect arc, heavily striking Hu Yidun's stout body and sending his over 120-kilogram frame flying. Hu Yidun truly had some martial talent; in midair, he subconsciously tried to flip to maintain his balance, but he still ended up headfirst in the lake.
Splash! A splash several times larger than a normal person's.
Not far away, Qin Feizhen's pupils contracted. "She took out that fatty, number four, in one strike?"
Number four in student ID meant fourth in the Primordial Energy scores of the college entrance exam. Although Hu Yidun hadn't broken through to become a Source Martial Practitioner, his strength was formidable.
"Indeed, having a weapon is too great an advantage. My techniques are definitely better than hers, but fighting her empty-handed would put me at a disadvantage!" Qin Feizhen was troubled. "This woman wants to expand her advantage while we're all unarmed! So shameless!"
"Xia Yuyin, is this how a top scorer of the college entrance exam behaves? If you have any guts, put down your sword and fight me fairly," a tall, skinny boy on the large central cushion said, adopting the stance of an ancient Huaxia boxing style.
"Come on! Top scorer, fight me head-on with your bare hands, and only then will I be convinced!" The tall, skinny boy charged at Yuyin in a few sword-like steps, unleashing a Tiger-Crane Twin Form attack.
Thud!
Without hesitation, Yuyin swung her longsword, knocking him into the water with a single strike.
"..."
"Despicable!!"
Several of the Red Team boys were furious.
With a longsword in hand and the Polaris Sword Art at her disposal, Yuyin, for a time, became a one-man army on the middle path. One opponent after another was sent flying. Even when two came at her together, they both ended up in the water. No one could defeat her.
Qin Feizhen's name was called from the Red Island.
"Qin Feizhen, you're number 2. It's up to you now!"
"Tsk..." Qin Feizhen gritted his teeth and charged toward the lower path. I'm not an idiot. I'll knock a few people down first to get a weapon!
Seeing that even Qin Feizhen was avoiding her, the other Red Team members didn't dare to charge either. With Yuyin dominating the middle path, they couldn't just go up one by one to be sent to their doom.
The Red Team began to attack the upper and lower paths, where the fighting also became intense.
"Uh oh, Xia Yuyin is coming up the upper path!" a girl exclaimed.
Seeing that no one was using the middle path, Yuyin took a side path of smaller air cushions and charged toward the upper path.
Chaos immediately erupted on the upper path.
Yuyin grew more and more confident. She leaped forward to cut off the Red Team's retreat. Whoosh, whoosh, she brandished her longsword. Against the girls, she didn't use too much force, using the "four ounces to move a thousand pounds" principle, tapping, hitting, or pushing their hips or legs to make them lose their balance and fall into the water.
But not all the girls were pushovers. One girl in a Chinese-style silk top and pants actually managed to grab Yuyin's sword. However, Yuyin channeled her Primordial Energy and shook it. The difference in their strength was still too great. The girl's grip was immediately broken, and she was swept by Yuyin's sword on her leg and knocked into the water.
"Not bad," Yuyin said calmly.
With Yuyin on the upper path, the Red Team attacked the middle and lower paths. But the others on the Blue Team were no pushovers either. There were wins and losses on the middle path, but on Qin Feizhen's path, he managed to take down several Blue Team members.
"6 points? That's enough!" Qin Feizhen decisively retreated to the Red Island.
From these charges, Yuyin had not only scored 21 points but had also earned over 50 Soul Charm Points from the shock of the onlookers. And the battle was still raging.
At this moment, on the hillside by Yuehu Lake, a male and a female student from the academy were standing.
The boy was Senior Wang.
The girl had wavy black hair with a hint of sapphire blue, and her eyes were as dreamy as sapphires. She was Lan Lianyue, the current Student Council President of the Lingdu Source Martial Academy and a junior.
"Unexpected, isn't it, Senior Lian? This new top female scorer is not weak in actual combat either..."
"After watching this battle today, it's no surprise that Yuwen Wenzhi was defeated by her. Senior Wang, record a video and send it to Yuwen Wenzhi. It might bring him some consolation," Lan Lianyue said sweetly.
"Will... that really console him? By the way, my name is Wang Xuezhang..."
"Hey, Senior Lian, should we make some arrangements for this woman?"
"Hehe, she's only just arrived. Let her enjoy her campus life for a while. There's no rush. Let's wait and see how she fares against Qin Feizhen. That Qin Feizhen is the top genius of our affiliated high school's Huangpu campus. From his first to third year, Yuwen Wenzhi challenged him at the main campus three times and never won once," Lan Lianyue said leisurely.
At this moment, Qin Feizhen had already obtained his weapon. It was also a sword, but it was a large, two-handed, broad-bladed sword. For someone of his ordinary build to use such a sword, one could see Qin Feizhen's strength and overbearing nature.
This time, without the slightest hesitation, he dragged his large sword onto the middle path amidst the cheers of the Red Team, charging straight toward Yuyin.
"Hmm?" Yuyin also felt her opponent's strong Primordial Energy. "A Source Martial Practitioner?"
Qin Feizhen, student ID number two, had also broken through to become a Source Martial Practitioner!
