The saintess I possessed had a head full of nonsense.

The black-haired girl with a high ponytail walked in, holding a sword. She said expressionlessly, "First of all, I want to apologize to everyone for my concealment."

Lycoris was a white-haired loli, but just as Jiang Yueyue had noted in her notes, "a little devil in dire need of discipline," she crossed her arms and coldly snorted, "You..."

"but!"

The black-haired girl interrupted Lycoris, and the white-haired girl was about to jump up and down, but when Jiang Yueyue's gaze swept over her calmly, she felt a jolt in her heart and froze on the spot. She then heard the girl in front of her say:

"It seems someone has misunderstood the situation."

"My integration into your circles is neither to curry favor with you nor to curry favor with any of the rich kids in your circles."

"It's because this circle allows me to constantly recognize the strength of the most powerful young people in Noxus City, giving me a standard to judge them so that I can better surpass them."

"You've only grasped the basics of swordsmanship? Who do you think you are?"

"because!"

Interrupted again, Lycoris was furious, glaring fiercely at Jiang Yueyue, when she heard a sentence:

"I am destined to become the Peerless Swordswoman."

The atmosphere became tense for a moment. The women stared blankly at Jiang Yueyue, who then slowly walked over, saying, "These words sound very empty, so..."

The girl with the high ponytail drew her invisible sword and pointed it at the purple-haired girl:

"I will grant you the opportunity to cultivate [Eternal Night's Fall]."

"Purple Smoke Vine, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

Chapter 37 Tea Master, Jian Wuji!

[He actually posted my story on the school's online forum?! If I can't break through this barrier, I'll die. Isn't he afraid of things getting out of hand?!] Jiang Yueyue was furious.

“You’re overthinking it. The internet’s memory is short-lived. Besides, if you lose, your parents die unexpectedly, your childhood sweetheart falls critically ill, your disguise is exposed, and your newly emerging talent turns out to be nothing special, then suicide becomes something that will not arouse any suspicion.” Li Xuan sat cross-legged in Jiang Yueyue’s room, converting the Basic Sword Manual into the Wordless Sword Manual.

In the world of high martial arts, "construction costs" are very low, so the dormitory is more like a house, divided into 5 separate rooms.

"Reality is cruel. Xiao Chi is helping you integrate into the City Lord's Hall in advance."

Luckily you reacted quickly.

With the [Impersonator] around, all you have to do is stack boxes. As long as Jiang Yueyue defeats Zi Yanluo, the new disguise will cover the exposed one, and people will only think that Jiang Yueyue is a peerless swordswoman who is about to rise.

As for failure? There's no turning back once you fail.

Xiao Chi did this to put greater pressure on her, that is, if she failed, she would lose everything, including her life and reputation.

Li Xuan used this to put even more pressure on her, implying that if she succeeded, she would soar to great heights and be the center of attention.

If Xiao Chi's encouragement was "belittling," then Li Xuan's was "praise-based encouragement."

Clearly, the latter is better, whether for the bookish student or for Jiang Yueyue who possesses the "pretender" ability.

Just now, Jiang Yueyue and Zi Yanluo had agreed to a battle this evening.

Because we need to cultivate the "Wordless Sword Scripture," we must first raise our magical power.

"What?! Jiang Yueyue is going to duel with [Darkborn Sword] Zi Yanluo?!"

Duel Arena at dusk.

Just today, phrases like "fluctuation outbreak," "basic sword enlightenment," and "commoner disguised as a rich girl" have attracted a lot of attention on the campus forum.

Unsurprisingly, most people still believe that Jiang Yueyue is a scheming Cinderella who wanted to use the school's reputation at Holy Sword University to sneak into high-end circles. When the filter is removed, it is believed that [Fluid Burst] and [Basic Sword] are unintentionally awakened talents, which cannot cover up her previous scheming.

After all, her previous disguise had been exposed, and her purpose was too obvious.

But unexpectedly, a piece of news soon appeared out of nowhere—Jiang Yueyue and Zi Yanluo were going to have a duel!

Why is this happening? How can best friends turn on each other in just half a day?

Pulling hair in the dorm isn't enough, do we have to have a real fight?

Slacking off and watching the excitement are things people love to do in any world, and the dueling arena was soon packed with people.

At the center of everyone's attention were two beautiful young girls, one with a high ponytail and the other with long, flowing light purple hair. Both girls were wearing the summer uniform of Holy Sword University: white short-sleeved shirts, denim shorts, white sneakers, and white socks, with their four long, fair legs drawing attention.

Li Xuan stared into Zi Yanluo's pupils and noticed that she was actually a little angry.

To be honest, Zi Yanluo and the others were a bit taken aback just now, but upon closer inspection, they realized it was a strategy by Jiang Yueyue.

She would then dramatically display her talents, such as the Wave Burst and Basic Sword, creating a sense of honorable defeat. She could then hire a few inexpensive college students to do part-time work promoting her statements. She might even gain praise from ordinary students who lack independent thought—a positive, courageous, and talented young woman whose failure is worthy of respect.

This method of subtly shifting the focus is a common marketing tactic.

After a quick glance, Zi Yanluo realized that Jiang Yueyue was like her—a tea master.

So how could Ziyanlu not be angry?

When she defeats Jiang Yueyue, she will be like an "evil mother-in-law." The more the commoner students like Jiang Yueyue, the more they will hate her, Zi Yanluo. The duel between the two will always have a reason, and in their eyes, it will definitely be her fault.

Although she looked down on ordinary people, just like a rich player in a game hearing a commoner player say "666," she could not care about them, but she could not live without them.

Unfortunately, by the time Ziyanluo realized what was happening, Lycolis had already posted the message on the forum, leaving her no choice but to accept it!

But she is not without hope of turning things around.

As long as Jiang Yueyue appears ugly enough in this battle, we can then manipulate public opinion to make sure that "the terrible gap between ordinary people and geniuses is ultimately just a delusion of ordinary people," which will be enough to prevent her from ever turning the tables!

Incidentally, she can also feel the despair of the other party in this "torture". If she can condense [Eternal Night Fall], that would be even better, and send her back to the stinking ditch!

"When her period comes, this is how it is," Jiang Yueyue commented.

"."

"The battle begins!" Lycoris waved her hand, and the two of them drew their swords and stepped forward, their swords clashing!

The moment he drew his sword, Li Xuan felt as if a shadow had fallen over Jiang Yueyue's pupils, and he felt as if he had entered a place filled with black mist, where even Zi Yanluo's figure became indistinct.

Darkin Blade!

A sword technique that plunges opponents into endless darkness. Li Xuan saw only a black mist, but outsiders were unaffected.

Vision is almost gone, and you can only barely sense the opponent's attack when it gets close. If the difference in magical power is too great, you may not even be able to sense anything before being killed instantly!

clang!

Li Xuan barely managed to raise his sword to block Zi Yanluo's sword strike from the darkness, and immediately felt his hand go numb!

After switching from the Basic Sword Manual to the Nameless Sword Manual, Jiang Yueyue's magic power increased from 87 to 100 points. Subtracting the 3 points from [Menstrual Period], the 14 points from [Shadowless Sword], and the 20% bonus from [Blessing of Courage], she now has a total of 133 points!

Ziyanluo also has a similar buff to [Blessing of Courage], and she is definitely a 6-star warlock. Her own mana + weapon power - the first day [menstrual period] + [buff seal] will still be at least 140+!

"She can even use the [Blessing of Courage]!"

hiss!

He heard exclamations around him, but Li Xuan didn't have time to listen. Showing off was fun, but he had no choice but to fight Zi Yanluo in order to break through in the battle!

But Ziyanluo's attack speed is much slower than expected!

"There's no such thing as a positive, ambitious, and courageous genius girl; she's just a delusional commoner falling into the abyss." Zi Yanluo's mocking laughter faintly reached my ears.

She was genuinely afraid that Jiang Yueyue wouldn't realize what was happening, so she told her here that her plan would definitely fail, that she would be thoroughly humiliated, and that she would be nailed to the pillar of shame for her "delusions"!

[She's playing us for fools!] With Jiang Yueyue's tea-making skills, she immediately understood Zi Yanluo's misunderstanding.

This is our chance. Let's keep up with her rhythm, dance in the darkness, and perhaps we'll have a chance to forge a new spell seal first.

Defeating Ziyanluo is almost impossible. Even [Wave Burst] is in her intelligence. The only way to win is to break through!

Zi Yanluo's so-called despair was to make Jiang Yueyue feel the despair of her inevitable disgrace, but Jiang Yueyue had no such plan at all and did not have that feeling!

On the contrary, this is their chance to avoid being instantly killed by the Darkin Blade's mechanics.

"what?"

Zi Yanluo's voice came from the darkness. She wasn't an idiot. After sensing Jiang Yueyue's ease, she immediately began to increase her attack speed.

The power of the Darkin Sword lies in its ability to make her invisible, like a dark maiden. In most cases, she can attack at will, while her opponent can only stand there and take the beating!

But as Zi Yanluo increased her attack speed faster and faster, she gradually felt something was wrong. When her attack speed reached its maximum, the two swords clashed with a series of crackling sounds, and she barely managed to leave a shallow wound on Jiang Yueyue's arm!

How could her sword be so fast when she was completely on the defensive?

Li Xuan continued to parry with his sword in the darkness, feeling his body become incredibly hot.

In this passive environment, with this feeling of tension all over her body and this unpredictable sense of crisis, the invincible Fiora's talent is bursting forth!

You bitch, I'm the unparalleled Fiora!

There are no particularly profound spell seals, but the spell seals needed at this moment were born from the "Wordless Sword Scripture"!

Sword Without Limit

Restriction: Currently using sword technique seals

Effect: Increases the maximum number of hand seals that can be used simultaneously by 1.

[Sharp Eyes], capturing flaws in the darkness.

Swish!

Li Xuan launched his first counterattack!

Chapter 38 Release Technique Gauge! Dark Fear

The most crucial factor hindering the combat power of a sorcerer genius is not the strength of the spell seals, but the maximum number of spell seals that can be used at the same time.

It's like how no matter how much Li Xuan's company tries to push the boundaries, a female character only has two legs. It's impossible for her to wear black stockings, white stockings, flesh-colored stockings, and purple stockings at the same time, nor is it possible for her to simultaneously have jade feet, leather shoes, and high heels.

At the "Warlock" level, the maximum number of Sigils that can be used at the same time is 3.

Genius sorcerers often choose a buff spell similar to [Blessing of Courage] to condense during the spell's burst phase, in order to greatly increase their spell power. After all, spell power is the primary standard of strength. Zi Yanluo has [Sword Intent Lotus Heart] from the "Wordless Sword Scripture", which has a slightly higher bonus than [Blessing of Courage].

Then, like Jiang Yueyue, Zi Yanluo chose the Darkborn Sword and Jiang Yueyue chose the Gravity Sword.

It's worth mentioning that "continuous" spell seals like [Blessing of Courage], [Sword Intent Lotus Heart], [Darkborn Sword], and [Gravity Sword] are completely different from spell seals like [Basic Sword], which can be "opened and closed at will".

These types of hand seals often have extremely long cooldown times.
