NOVEL NEXT C28
Chapter 28: The Clear Rain Sword Princess
“Success! You have shocked the many spectators in the underground fighting arena, earning 9 soul charms.”
“You successfully countered the host’s remarks, earning 3 soul charms.”
“You successfully struck back against Lewis’s contempt for you, earning 5 soul charms.”
“You successfully turned the one-sided odds, causing the majority of bettors to experience severe fluctuations in their spirits, earning 10 soul charms.”
A series of golden texts appeared in Yuyin’s consciousness, accompanied by an ancient female voice.
This battle exceeded Yuyin’s expectations.
Indeed, this underground fighting arena was a holy place for collecting soul charms. Yuyin was extremely excited, not just because of the victory, but because of the enormous soul charm value she had gained.
As for the barely noticeable referee, after counting a few numbers, he hurriedly lowered the metal net and climbed up to check on the motionless Lewis.
No need for a check; the appearance of the soul charm value already indicated the problem.
Yuyin turned around, not looking back at the fallen Lewis. As the referee waved for a stretcher, she walked off the platform.
It seemed Lewis had fainted; Yuyin had underestimated the power of that strike. After days of cultivating her source energy and enhancing her body with the Jade Body Fruit, combined with her preliminary mastery of the North Star Sword Technique, Yuyin’s sword strength was far more terrifying than it appeared. That strike was a sudden outburst of pent-up anger due to the surrounding environment, capable of lifting a giant weighing over 100 kilograms off the ground, demonstrating its power.
More crucially, at the moment Lewis swung the heavy axe toward her shoulder, Yuyin’s focus was highly concentrated, precisely finding the best timing to block the attack and decisively countering.
This was Yuyin’s first true combat experience. Although she felt nervous, the tension did not affect her performance; instead, it made her more focused and sharper.
“Victory… the victor… Oh my God, this is unprecedented in our fighting arena! An amateur challenger, an ordinary person has won. And it’s a woman…”
“She… she won! The mysterious woman from Zero City, she won!” the host shouted.
The crowd erupted.
Although it was hard to believe at first, the reality before them seemed like a miracle, stirring the audience’s blood.
After all, Yuyin was Chinese, and a tall and charming woman at that. The fact that such a woman had defeated a powerful black giant ignited the passion and pride of the entire audience.
Previously, while some had mocked Yuyin, they couldn’t be blamed; it wasn’t that they didn’t want a Chinese person to win, but the gap was simply too vast. Everyone thought Yuyin was just an irrational female fan.
But this underground fighting arena craved heroes and revered miracles.
In an instant, Yuyin’s image transformed in their minds from a mere female fan or a woman willing to do anything for fame into a hidden female master.
“She must be from a family with deep roots.”
“Yes, she must have come down from the mountains under the orders of some master to train.”
“That black guy is really unfortunate; he thought he was in for a treat, but ended up stepping on a blade.”
Many spectators cheered while shedding tears, as they had initially thought it was a financial opportunity, only to encounter a disaster; they had lost terribly.
Yuyin had achieved her goal and did not linger, directly leaving through the contestants’ passage.
“Miss Xia, this way please!” A group of thugs and assistants surrounded her, and the manager personally came to greet her. Everyone in the fighting arena was extremely courteous to Yuyin, even the fierce fighters who were about to compete gasped in awe, having to look at Yuyin with new eyes.
The victory prize was 20,000 yuan, directly deposited into Yuyin’s account. The manager earnestly requested Yuyin to come back for another match next weekend.
This underground fighting arena not only had live audiences but also streamed on many underground websites, allowing remote betting with spirit pills. A powerful and mysterious tall female martial artist from China was incredibly appealing.
After returning home, Yuyin took a shower, changed clothes, and then began purchasing game pieces.
This time she was calmer, not blindly spending but buying the pieces she needed each day.
Then… she went online to purchase various daily necessities she had previously hesitated to buy.
After all, Yuyin was a woman and quite beautiful, so there were still many places where she needed to spend money.
Finally, she had money—20,000 yuan! It was earned through her own efforts and opportunities. Yuyin had never managed such a large sum before in her previous life. At least she no longer had to worry about living expenses, and she could go out for juice with Ying Luo and the others without feeling burdened.
After a week of purchasing game pieces, Yuyin’s soul charm value was nearly spent. At this point, the initial area had undergone significant changes.
Not only had the range of the initial area expanded, but different groups of game pieces began to gather. The little ghosts started to dig holes in a mountain near the initial area to form communities, while the bull demons occupied a natural cave.
Under Little Yuan’s orders, the white ape and little ghosts built some fences and earthen walls outside the initial area.
A primitive, wild monster territory gradually began to take shape.
At this time, the total population of monsters had reached around 50.
This meant that nearly 50 monsters were fighting day and night to earn source energy value for Yuyin. How could her cultivation not progress rapidly?
By the weekend, Yuyin’s source energy value had reached 97.
This meant she had already surpassed the strongest student, Long Xiaotian’s source energy value during the winter break. Of course, he was also in a sprint to cultivate, so it was unclear how much he had now.
As her source energy value approached 100, Yuyin began to feel more noticeable changes in her body—greater strength, faster speed, and increased vitality. Not to mention, her senses became sharper. Of course, her skin remained as fair and delicate as ever. Although she practiced sword techniques daily and her strength increased significantly, it did not diminish her feminine charm in the slightest. On the contrary, it might have even enhanced it.
After all, Yuyin’s strength did not come from muscles.
That Sunday night, Yuyin’s opponent was Tang Menglong.
Yuyin wore her white short skirt and black outfit, donning her mask as she took the stage.
According to San Ge, the manager, Yuyin had chosen a pseudonym for herself: Qingyu.
Meanwhile, the video of Yuyin’s battle had spread across the underground fighting arena’s forums. Someone had started calling this mysterious woman “Sword Princess Sister,” and the title quickly gained popularity within a week.
“The next match is surely what everyone has been eagerly anticipating for a week, featuring the mysterious woman who defeated Lewis with a single move last week, challenging the eight-time champion, the Giant Sword—Tang Menglong!”
“One good piece of news is that this mysterious woman has decided to participate in professional martial arts competitions. From now on, she will be known as our underground fighting arena’s—Qingyu Sword Princess!”
Note: Qingyu means all weather but as the title chapter says maybe she is a rain princess
