The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

The long stick said matter-of-factly.

Although he was right, Shuangdao certainly couldn't admit it. He forced a smile and said, "When did I have any ill intentions? You're slandering me. If we can beat the young lady, we might be the champions."

"You're dreaming. Can you even withstand Young Master Long's spear? Useless trash!"

"What did you say!?"

Seeing the two of them elbowing each other, Da Jian patted them on the shoulder: "Alright, focus on watching the game. If you want to argue, go back to your own room and stop making a scene in public."

"Humph!"

The two turned their faces away, remaining silent.

On the other side, in the No. 2 Middle School's lounge.

Xiong Chen, a science teacher at Level 7, was scanning the students in front of him with sharp eyes.

From the katana to the meteor hammer, he trembled all over, not daring to utter a single word.

As for Changjian and Qianlu, they huddled in the corner, trembling incessantly: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

The entire lounge was eerily silent, inside and out.

"It seems I've protected you all too well."

Xiong Chen punched the wall, and instantly, the wall shattered like a spider web.

"Speak up! We're all of the same class, 4 against 1, why did it end up like this?"

"..."

"Fine, you won't talk, huh? I'll settle the score with you after the competition!"

He slammed the door and left, and the lounge fell silent, except for the commentator's excited voice continuing on the screen.

"Finally, Bai Jinxuan has unleashed her martial arts! I never expected her to only take it seriously at the very last moment. The young lady's foundation is truly profound!"

In the scene, Bai Jinxuan dodges Long Yuxiang's spear, and at the same time, she swings her scythe blade upwards as she turns to the side.

A dark blade flashed across Long Yuxiang's face, severing a few strands of golden hair in half, which then slowly fell to the ground.

"That was close! If the sickle had gone down a few more centimeters, Long Yuxiang might have been forced out of the game!"

"Xiao Xuan...Go for it!" Murong Yao shouted from the audience, clenching her fist.

In front of the television, Yao's parents embraced each other, reminiscing about the past while murmuring her name.

Even Tong Yishan, who was being punished by standing at the door, had her heart in her throat.

"Bai Jinxuan, you absolutely have to win! If you take the championship, the Tong family's influence in the weapons manufacturing industry will increase even further..."

For a moment, everyone watching the game was so amazed by their moves that they held their breath, except for the players themselves.

Misty forest, fire cage.

During his fight with Bai Jinxuan, Long Yuxiang gradually grasped the knack. He began to spin his spear, sweeping it left and right to deflect the shadow demons that tried to pounce on him. Then he used his movement techniques to break through the enemy lines.

The "Charge Step" is a highly aggressive movement technique. In its execution, the user lunges forward while maintaining a stable lower body and a taut upper body, perfectly connecting with the martial art "Dragon Fang" to deliver rapid thrusts with their spear.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan spun the scythe at her waist, and several flashes of light shattered the dragon fang and the shadow demon that was trying to approach into pieces.

"Your martial arts skills are very strong, but they're mine now!"

The electric boy mimicked himself spinning the spear, sweeping, slashing, and thrusting, combining several movements together, with the force gradually increasing with his rotation speed.

He actually learned it.

However, I'm not one to be trifled with either.

Bai Jinxuan took a step back and began to steal his steps. But that wasn't all. Because of the different construction of the sickle and the spear, the back of the sickle was heavier. Therefore, during the rotation, Bai Jinxuan's speed and force were always several points greater than his.

"Clang clang clang!"

As the Shadow Demon Tide attacked, the two dodged and weaved while launching their own attacks. Soon, Bai Jinxuan found an opportunity, suddenly exerted her strength, and lifted the tip of the Electric Boy's spear. Then she flipped over and used the martial art, Cloud Piercing Kick.

The swift attack struck straight at the head.

Realizing that he was not as skilled as Bai Jinxuan, Long Yuxiang quickly activated his special technique.

"Zizzi——!"

Instantly, his energy surged forth, transforming into electric current that covered his entire body.

At this moment, it was too late for Bai Jinxuan to stop. She kicked out, knocking Long Yuxiang over, but her own leg was also shocked by the electric shock and became somewhat numb.

"Ha—electrocution, huh? How sinister!"

"The most sinister thing is yet to come! Thunder Spear, grant me power!"

In an instant, the pale blue arc of electricity turned yellow, and the entire tip of the gun was covered with a layer of lightning.

He swung his sword suddenly.

"Boom!"

The deafening roar was like a thunderclap, and in an instant, all the fiery shadow demons burning all over their bodies were swept away by the lightning.

So you've unleashed your ultimate technique?

I'll do it too!

Special move: Cherry Bomb Grand Chorus!

She suddenly pulled off the bunch of cherry bombs from her waist, detonated them all, and threw them between the two of them.

The golden lightning collided with the cherry bomb in an instant, and the powerful shockwave blew the wall of fire and all the fire demons away.

“Rumble, rumble—!”

A mushroom cloud rises slowly.

"Ahem... I've been grinding for points for so long just to unleash this nuclear bomb, hahaha..."

Bai Jinxuan, who had been thrown several meters away by the blast, lay on the ground and laughed.

Her left hand and right leg were blown off, and she was blind in one eye, but she didn't care about her injuries. She even had the strength to use her sickle as a cane to support her battered body as she slowly stood up and observed her surroundings.

With that one nuclear bomb, the entire area was blasted to smithereens. Look at this scorched earth, wow, that feels amazing!

If Shadow Fiends were all killed, why is the poison circle still shrinking?

She watched as the poison circle, only half the size of a bomb crater, approached her, and didn't react for a moment.

Just then, a hoarse voice came from behind.

"My... my spear will never lose...!"

The charred figure slowly stood up. It was Electric Kid. His right arm and half of his body had been blown away. Even so, he still shakily picked up the long spear, stuck it in the ground, and approached me step by step.

Even in this state... do we still need to fight...?

Unfortunately, you're just unlucky.

Bai Jinxuan took a piece of butter out of her pocket, smashed it on the boy's head, then raised her sickle and threw it with all her might.

As his body was pierced and he fell, Bai Jinxuan felt her vision go black. When she opened her eyes again, she was sitting on a chair in the arena, propping her head up with her other hand on the table.

"Bai Jinxuan—!"

Suddenly, someone called his name.

She instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

"Knock knock knock knock—! Bai Jinxuan—!"

People from all directions in the audience were shouting her name, which made her feel a little lost at first.

However, she quickly realized what was happening.

This selection competition should be over. I won in the end, haha! I wonder how many credits the high school will give me!

Thinking of this, she felt much better and stood up.

At this moment, a staff member approached and said, "Miss, you may return to the lounge to rest. We have private rooms and shared rooms. Which one would you like to go to?"

"No? Who are you calling a young lady?"

Bai Jinxuan couldn't hold back anymore. It was one thing for a student from No. 1 Middle School to joke around, but this was a competition at No. 2 Middle School, and you were a staff member. How could you make such a joke?

Before she could speak, the competition host's voice came from above.

"Let's congratulate the young lady from No. 1 Middle School on winning first place in this points competition! She has shown us that sometimes rank does not represent strength! Anything is possible in real combat!"

"Furthermore, after discussion among the organizers, they unanimously agreed that there is no need for our dear young lady to continue in the knockout stage. Therefore, she will be directly promoted to the knockout stage finals, where she will reign supreme and be the queen of all!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh—!!!"

The enthusiastic cheers made Bai Jinxuan's eyes widen. No, this is No. 2 Middle School! It's a competition! It will be broadcast to the entire Star City! You, the host, keep calling her "Miss," is that appropriate?

"Miss, are you feeling unwell anywhere...?" The staff member approached and asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan pursed her lips and shook her head, saying, "No, take me to the common room. I want to see who's talking nonsense here."

"Yes, Miss, please come this way."

"..."

Bai Jinxuan hesitated, covered her forehead, and followed.

As she left, the cheers grew louder and louder, each wave giving her a headache, especially when she saw Yao Yao leading the way by holding up signs and shouting; it really gave her a headache.

No way, could they have seen everything that happened in the Misty Forest...?

My goodness, now the whole Star City knows I'm the young lady!

She stormed into the common room, kicked it aside, and was about to ask who was publicizing her 'young lady' status when several figures in front of her began to bow rapidly before she could even ask.

The one leading the group was Long Yuxiang: "Miss! I'm sorry, I misunderstood you! I thought you were torturing that contestant, but I didn't expect that she had lost her will to fight. I took it upon myself to speak harshly to you, I'm sorry!"

Next came the one who had tried to ambush her, the one with twin swords: "Young Miss! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I offended you. Please don't take it to heart!"

Then, a group of complete strangers started shouting, "I'm guilty! I'm guilty!" which annoyed Bai Jinxuan.

She stomped her foot and shouted, "Don't talk about those things!"

"What nonsense! Let me ask you, who was it that first called me 'Young Miss' during the competition?"

"Um... I heard it's a news agency?" Long Yuxiang scratched his head and said.

News agency, huh? I'm not done with you yet!

Bai Jinxuan clenched her fists.

Volume 1: Chapter 152: The Girl Who Created Her Own Martial Arts

"Are you Chu Wenxi, the president of the No. 1 Middle School News Agency?"

Bai Jinxuan angrily kicked open the door, slammed her hands on the table, and stared at the brown-haired woman wearing glasses in front of her.

She smiled calmly, gestured for the frightened girls beside her to leave, and then spread her hands.

"The competition is still ongoing. Miss, who has already qualified for the finals, what brings you to me at this hour?"

Nima is still the young lady, still the young lady.

Seeing this guy's fearless attitude, Bai Jinxuan hardened her fist.

She used to be a nobody and didn't dare touch your news agency. Now that you've made me famous, everyone in the city knows me, and I even have a chamber of commerce under my control. How dare you?

Oh, she didn't know I had a chamber of commerce. Oh well, never mind.

Bai Jinxuan suddenly realized that in the eyes of the news agency, she was just an ordinary person who had attained enlightenment and had no family background, making her very easy to manipulate.

No wonder he's raking in traffic while Long Yuxiang hasn't made a sound. He's really mastered the art of bullying the weak.

She looked at Chu Wenxi with sharp eyes and questioned, "Who gave you permission to use my name in your articles? And who gave you permission to promote my personal information to the host?"

"Ah... Miss Bai Jinxuan, you mean this? Isn't this a good thing for you?"

Chu Wenxi narrowed her eyes, smiled, and pointed her finger at the smart bracelet.

A projection appeared, showing the search volume for the keyword "Heiress of No. 1 Middle School," which had been rising sharply this week.

"You gain fame, and we handle the small ads. It's a win-win situation. You can use your status as a rich girl to enter the film and television industry, entertainment industry, or start your own business... All this traffic is generated for you for free. If it were someone else, they would have to pay."

"You mean you're saying that you've taken advantage of my face to spread my name everywhere, and in the end, I should thank you, right?"
