When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 86 : The Strongest of the Second Year

86: The Strongest of the Second Year

I should have known better than to just take a casual look from outside. Why did I have to come in to reminisce about my high school days?

Yuyin suppressed her impatience and turned around coldly. "What is it?"

Wang Tieniu's massive frame was twice as wide as an average tall basketball player. He came over like a heavy tank, and the watching students scattered.

"Miss, I've never seen you before. What's your name?" Wang Tieniu was a natural strongman with a one-track mind. Besides cultivating, all he did was play basketball. He barely even used his phone, so he had no idea what had happened recently.

"..." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, to be honest, Yuyin didn't really want to answer.

"Boss Iron Ox, she's the one I told you about from our first year, Xia Yuyin from the Swordsman Department," Hu Yidun said, seizing the opportunity and eagerly scurrying to Wang Tieniu's side.

Although many people present hadn't seen her in person, they had all seen Yuyin's photo in various group chats and on the academy's internal forums.

"She's that Department Head Chen Qian'ning's Direct Disciple, Xia Yuyin?"

"She's so beautiful... and her figure is perfect too. Truly worthy of being our Lingdu Source Martial Academy's new campus belle, blessed with both talent and beauty," a few girls whispered nearby.

"So you're Xia Yuyin!" Wang Tieniu stared at Yuyin, his eyes practically glued to her. He was huge and immensely strong, and while some girls worshipped him, they were also intimidated. But a woman like Xia Yuyin, with both perfect physical strength and beauty, was, in Iron Ox's eyes, the only kind of woman truly worthy of him!

"That's right, I am." Yuyin just wanted to give a perfunctory reply and leave quickly. The way Iron Ox was looking at her body was not as simple-minded as his appearance suggested.

"Hehe, Sister Yuyin, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, I wondered what fairy had descended. It turns out it's you! You're ten thousand times more beautiful than that uncultured punk described!" Wang Tieniu seemed to have never seen such a beautiful woman. He trembled all over, immensely excited, rubbing his hands in glee.

"You play basketball well too. You guys keep playing. I'll be leaving now." Yuyin gave a polite, dismissive reply and turned to walk off the court.

"Xia Yuyin!" Wang Tieniu suddenly let out a rough roar, his aura carrying a powerful Primordial Energy that shook the entire court.

He suddenly strode forward and grabbed for Yuyin's shoulder. With Yuyin's reflexes, she dodged to the side and turned around warily. "What do you think you're doing?"

What great skills! She's worthy of me! Wang Tieniu was overjoyed in his heart.

In front of everyone, he suddenly declared loudly, "Xia Yuyin, I've taken a liking to you. Be my girlfriend!"

"Whoa!!" The entire crowd was shocked. The students' reactions were mixed. Some felt that Wang Tieniu, so ugly, was unworthy, while others who admired the strong felt that a beauty like Yuyin should be paired with the most powerful man, and Wang Tieniu was the strongest of the second year.

"..." For some reason, Yuyin felt a helpless urge to laugh. She really wanted to say, is there anywhere I go where I'm not being either betrothed or proposed to? What did I do wrong?

"I'm sorry, that's impossible." Yuyin didn't want to say he was a good person either. If he had been a shy, timid boy, like her past self, she might have offered some kind words of comfort. But Wang Tieniu, judging from the way he looked at her, Yuyin keenly realized that he only appeared simple-minded; deep down, he was rotten to the core, not even counting as a good person.

Yuyin's merciless rejection on the spot made Wang Tieniu look embarrassed in front of everyone. His face flushed red, and he suddenly moved past Yuyin, his massive body blocking the exit, not letting her leave.

"Sister Yuyin, are you looking down on me, Wang Tieniu?"

"No, I'm just answering truthfully. Please let me pass."

But Wang Tieniu showed no intention of moving. "Sister Yuyin, do you know what's at stake in this basketball game today between my department and your Swordsman Department?"

Wang Tieniu held up a large hand. "Ten Academy Credits. Whoever loses has to give the other side's five people a total of ten credits."

Wang Tieniu moved closer to Yuyin, his thick fingers waving provocatively in front of her eyes as he pointed to the scoreboard. "Look. Those useless men from your Swordsman Department are doomed to lose."

"What did you say?" The face of a tall, thin senior center from the third year of the Swordsman Department darkened.

"Shut the hell up! I'm talking to Sister Xia!"

Wang Tieniu, who was over two meters tall, bent down, panting heavily as he looked at Yuyin. "Xia Yuyin, you don't want to see your seniors from the Swordsman Department lose so many credits, do you? Here's the deal. Since I ran into you today, for your sake, I'll forget about these credits. But, if we win, Sister Yuyin, you have to agree to be my girlfriend. How about that?"

"Whoa!! So domineering!"

"This is a proposal with strength!"

"Senior Iron Ox is so forceful!"

A group of girls over there shrieked, while the men from the Strongman Department and other departments egged them on.

"Hey, your Swordsman Department's campus belle is being hit on like this, and you can still take it?"

"And you call yourselves juniors of Big Brother Lan Lingfeng?"

"Are you even men? Hahaha?"

Yuyin didn't find Wang Tieniu domineering at all.

Domineering? I've seen sisters eight hundred times more domineering than you!

Yuyin shook her head and turned to force her way out, but she was surrounded by Wang Tieniu and a few burly men from the Strongman Department, blocking her path.

"Tch!" The tall, thin senior from the third year and a few players from the Swordsman Department couldn't take it anymore. If they endured this any longer, they might as well not be men.

They also stepped forward, with the tall, thin senior blocking Yuyin's side.

Although everyone was unconvinced that Yuyin had taken the Direct Disciple position and would take any chance to make things difficult for her, when one of their own department's great beauties was being harassed by an outsider, they would unite against the common enemy.

The tall, thin senior flicked his hair, his glasses flashing, as he pointed at Wang Tieniu and warned, "Wang Tieniu, it's just ten Academy Credits, right? We'll honor our bet. If we lose the game, we'll give them to you. What does this have to do with her? I advise you to get out of the way and stop making things difficult for our junior..."

Bang!

Before he could finish, Wang Tieniu's hammer-like fist flew over with ferocious force, sending the tall, thin senior flying. He knocked down two people behind him, and they all crashed into the chain-link fence with a clatter... a whole section of the fence over ten meters long was brought down.
