When the Earth Awakens, I Become the Female Sword Saint

Chapter Seventeen: Little Yuan

This conflict, which could have easily led to injury, ended, and Yuyin felt her body begin to tremble. Just moments ago, in the face of danger, her body had entered a state of optimal performance; she felt this might be a survival instinct.

Yuyin stepped over Zhang Biaoyang, picked up her tennis racket, and walked past Chen Yan without a glance, the surrounding girls instinctively parted ways, even Chen Yan dared not utter a word at that moment.

Outside, a dozen tall, fierce boys gathered, all brothers of Zhang Biaoyang. These guys might not be as strong as Zhang Biaoyang, but they were all skilled fighters in school, and a few had decent energy values. If they all attacked Yuyin together, she, who only knew leg techniques, might not fare well. If they brought weapons, Yuyin would truly be in danger. She held the tennis racket as a last resort, a potential weapon, after all, she only knew leg techniques, not fist techniques.

However, those boys did not stop Yuyin; instead, they let her walk out of the court, passing under their watchful eyes, carrying the lingering scent of intense exercise.

Zhang Biaoyang had gone mad, but they had not.

In broad daylight, a group of second and third-year boys attacked the school beauty, the student council president?

Although Yuyin’s family had encountered misfortune, given her image at school and her status in the hearts of teachers and students, if they did such a thing, it would surely provoke strong outrage throughout the school. Chen Yan’s incident could still be explained as a dispute among girls, but how could they justify a group of big boys beating up a senior? Could they really do that?

It wasn’t that they lacked loyalty to their brothers; they could risk their lives for them, but they couldn’t lose their dignity.

Moreover, how could they lay hands on such a beautiful, youthful, fragrant senior? Although they were bad, they were still normal boys; how could they bring themselves to do it?

Additionally, after witnessing Yuyin knock out Zhang Biaoyang with two kicks, they were also wary, all stunned, and no one dared to entangle Yuyin any further, watching her leave.

This allowed Yuyin’s taut nerves to relax somewhat.

In this conflict, Yuyin gained a total of 24 soul charm, far exceeding the 5 points she had previously obtained. After all, last time she had just accidentally kicked a good ball, but today, she had knocked down one of the top five strongmen in the school, the school bully, “Pujiang Beast” Zhang Biaoyang, which had completely shocked those around her.

Yuyin felt that although she had gained 8 soul charm from Zhang Biaoyang, most of the soul charm came from the astonished crowd; all the soul charm was related to the fluctuations and shocks of the mind.

Walking home, Yuyin suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Finally, she no longer had to fear that fool sitting on the little broken chair at the door, staring at her thighs. She could defeat Zhang Biaoyang; ordinary perverts and small-time thugs wouldn’t dare come near her.

Yuyin finally had a preliminary ability to protect herself!

As the saying goes, heroes save beauties, but through a twist of fate, she had not become a hero but had instead transformed into a beauty.

Of course, she saved herself.

Back home, Yuyin didn’t even bother to take a shower; she lay directly on her bed, her consciousness entering the space of the God-Eating Chess.

Because she hadn’t gained any soul charm for the past few days, she hadn’t checked in today.

Yuyin’s consciousness floated amidst the vast mountains and seas, and with a thought, she prepared to start the soul charm chess pieces.

Ding Ling.

The five altars reappeared.

“Hmm?”

Yuyin noticed a little girl in a black cloud dress among several familiar faces. This little girl had jet-black hair, big eyes, and a gaze that was pure yet profound.

She had never seen this little girl before!

This God-Eating Chess, didn’t it only summon various night spirits she had seen before? If it were said that many night spirits roamed in the magic city, it was possible she had seen a certain monster but hadn’t paid attention. However, missing a person, that seemed unlikely.

The altar below the little girl read: Little Yuan, one star.

No rank?

This made Yuyin even more curious.

“Spend 3 soul charm to attempt to charm Little Yuan,” the female voice said.

Now that Yuyin had the resources, such a unique item was naturally worth a try; otherwise, it might be gone by tomorrow.

She immediately attempted to charm.

Success!

This unique little girl made Yuyin prepare for failure in her heart. If it didn’t work, she could always try multiple times with her maximum of 9 soul charm, but it succeeded on the first try.

Yuyin felt a bit happy; after all, it felt like a rare chess piece. At this moment, with ample soul charm, she also bought the remaining two smaller ghosts, a carp, and a winged snake.

“Ding, cumulative spending exceeds 10; you can expect to recruit higher-level chess pieces next. Additionally, spending 2 soul charm can refresh all altars at any time,” the female voice chimed.

“Oh?”

Yuyin was eager to purchase more chess pieces to accelerate her training. Although it pained her a bit, she still felt that at least refreshing once was worth it.

Ding Ling, five brand new chess pieces appeared in a glow.

Sure enough, new monsters appeared.

A stout, filthy creature with a wild boar’s head, carrying a large wooden frame with an oil lamp hanging from it on its back.

Miner, one star, blue rank.

Beside it was a medicine girl.

Yuyin thought about the previous medicine girl’s effect, which was still unclear, and instead of charming the medicine girl, she charmed this pig monster miner.

Charming such a character was naturally successful, costing 2 soul charm.

The pig monster miner looked fierce and brutish, but when it glanced over at Yuyin, it revealed a lewd expression. However, Yuyin had no physical form in this space; how could they know what she looked like?

The smaller ghosts were basically expendable, so Yuyin bought another one, and also bought a pair of the winged snakes (a pair counts as one chess piece) to try.

In this way, Yuyin had spent more than half of her 24 soul charm in just a few minutes, leaving her with only 11.

Yuyin realized she needed to save some; otherwise, if a rare chess piece appeared later and she had no money, that would be unfortunate.

Now, let’s see what these new chess pieces could do.

After the miner pig monster went out, it was indeed diligent, directly finding a rocky wall by the river, picking up the iron pickaxe hanging on its back, and starting to dig.

It seemed to really be a miner.

Yuyin temporarily ignored it and focused her attention on Little Yuan.

What could this Little Yuan do?

Yuyin sent out Little Yun, who walked with a light and lively step at times, and at other times seemed a bit shy, as if afraid of her surroundings? Could chess pieces also be afraid? But seeing her, a delicate little girl, walking alone in the deep forest, Yuyin felt a natural sense of pity.

“Should I send a few little ghosts to protect her? Otherwise, she might get taken away by a monster? Unfortunately, I can’t give specific commands to the chess pieces…” Yuyin thought helplessly.

However, at that moment, Yuyin noticed that the three teams of smaller ghosts summoned in the initial area began to move, bouncing along to follow Little Yuan, truly protecting her.
