Chapter 175
After laughing, Pei Ya reminded Jiang Yunu: "Your match with Senior Nidi will be next weekend."
Jiang Yunu asked without hesitation: "Who is Senior Nidi?"
Pei Ya said, "You named the one with the nickname 'Brother Tangtangzhengzheng'."
Jiang Yunu finally reacted: "Oh, him."
Because he insisted on calling the other person "Brother Upright", Jiang Yunu completely forgot the other person's name registered on the battle list.
"Why does he call me 'your brother'?" Jiang Yunu thought the senior's name was quite interesting. She couldn't understand its meaning and said, "He's obviously an older brother."
"..." Pei Ya was too lazy to correct Jiang Yunu's missed point.
However, through Jiang Yunu's reaction, she could tell that Senior Nidi, who ranked second in the second round, was probably not taken seriously by the white-haired girl.
And considering Jiang Yunu's "wavering" state of mind, this senior is likely to be the type of person who will witness the other party's "evil side".
Jiang Yunu's likes and dislikes are very obvious.
A week flies by.
In the blink of an eye, next weekend is here.
Golden Uriel College has set up a special "Challenge Cup" campus competition area.
With three minutes left before the match started, Jiang Yunu was the first to step onto the fighting stage with agility.
Nidhi, who was more than a beat behind her, was unwilling to fall behind. Perhaps his pride was slightly hurt by her agile arrival, so he deliberately slowed down his movements even more, striding onto the stage with the unhurried demeanor of a general, taunting her, "Do you think that by getting on stage first, you can win the battle?"
Jiang Yunu didn't say a word.
The other party added: "Your behavior is even more brutal than the rumors say, and it seems that you don't understand the rules at all."
Jiang Yunu remained calm and said, "You seem to understand a lot. Then please stand here and read out the rules for three minutes until we officially start the fight."
It was obviously Nidhi who started the verbal fight, and Jiang Yunu's remarks were not particularly offensive, but Nidhi was actually slightly defeated by this retort.
"What do you mean?" Nidhi gritted his teeth across the table. "Are you mocking me for pretending to know something?"
Jiang Yunu said, "You can interpret it however you want. If you want to think that way, I can't help you."
Her words made the other party even angrier.
Senior Nidi's face was gloomy and he stared at him fiercely.
Jiang Yunu thought about it and decided to explain why she went on stage early.
She said sincerely, "I came up early because I wanted to knock you down earlier and end the game quickly."
Nidi gritted his teeth and said, "Then you might as well admit defeat now, and our battle will end faster than ever before."
Jiang Yunu laughed out loud.
She said, "Of course not. Could it be that you won all your previous matches by getting your opponent to surrender? No way."
Nidhi felt like fuming.
The preparation period before the battle seemed unprecedentedly long.
When the battle bell rang, the white-haired girl said softly, "You can try it too."
Energy overflow screens have been erected around the battle stage.
Nidi clenched his fists. He decided to ask Jiang Yunu one last question: "What do you want to try?"
This is the last chance for this country girl who doesn't know how to respect her elders and doesn't know her place.
However, it was "unfortunate" that Jiang Yunu didn't seem to want the chance he gave at all.
Because Jiang Yunu said: "Try to ask me, if you are polite, maybe I will let you stay on the stage for five minutes longer than your cousin?"
With a "crack", Nidhi heard the sound of his last fragile nerve breaking.
He almost roared as he attacked Jiang Yunu.
Was Jiang Yunu deliberately provoking her opponent? Jiang Yunu thought she might. The more aggressive the opponent's reactions, the more likely they were to go all-out in the fight. Jiang Yunu actually longed for those who proactively challenged her, boasting bold words and full of confidence, to show their true strength, allowing her to experience the sense of accomplishment of "defeating a slightly mean, but capable villain."
However, she also felt regretful, because so far, the only one who could barely meet this standard was Linette Nagu, who had used elemental weapons.
The eldest lady's elemental weapons are indeed worth fighting for.
Nidi, nicknamed "Brother Tangtangzhengzheng", is a wind-type mutant. Jiang Yunu no longer has much impression of his loser cousin, but when the two fought, she recalled the memory of fighting with the other cousin, and easily discovered that Nidi and his cousin's fighting styles and moves were highly consistent.
Whirlwind, wind blade, and wind wall defense.
They may major in these three areas of skills, which just take into account the three aspects of interference, offense and defense.
Objectively speaking, Jiang Yunu felt that Nidi was indeed a little more skilled than his cousin. Although their skills were all basic, it was obvious that his cousin had a more solid foundation and a more constant energy output level.
...but there are no other advantages.
Jiang Yunu avoided the wind and the wind blades, and the supernatural thread got out from the gap in the wind wall.
"Is this the only dirty trick you can use?!" Nidi already knew Jiang Yunu's "drilling through gaps" skill.
But seeing is believing.
According to his cousin, Jiang Yunu's style of fighting is called "taking advantage of loopholes". He distracts the opponent's attention by using tricks, and then takes advantage of the opportunity to interfere with the opponent's skill release.
But after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that this was not a "loophole".
This is a venomous snake that will invade your home crazily if you are not careful!
In Nidi's view, Jiang Yunu's green filament ability was indeed as terrifying as a small, light and highly poisonous snake.
When green dots appeared on the amber-gold wall of supernatural power, and then a string of green "ribbons" drooped in the blink of an eye, the "ribbons" seemed to have vitality, moving and sliding inside the wind wall. The visual impact of this scene was extremely terrifying.
"I'm not playing tricks." Jiang Yunu's voice came from behind the wind wall. She controlled her ability line steadily and accurately.
Nidi was still stubborn. He tried his best to expel the earth-element energy that had invaded the wind. He said, "If this isn't playing tricks, what is it?!"
Jiang Yunu said: "I'm not pretending."
The green "ribbons" suddenly stood up together, like snakes hanging on the wall with their heads raised collectively.
They "stared" at Nidi from a strange angle, as if they had independent thinking.
A sense of crisis shot up from the base of his spine to the top of his head, and Needy felt a tingling sensation in his back.
As the green energy line attacked him, he heard Jiang Yunu say slowly: "I am the ghost on the battle stage, I don't need to pretend."
Nidi's wind wall shrank instantly. At the critical moment, he tried to save himself by withdrawing his defensive forces and confronting Jiang Yunu's supernatural power head-on.
"Brother Tangtangzhengzheng" was really tough. He even managed to squeeze out a shout: "Is this the only move you have? You used the same move to defeat my cousin, and now you want to beat me?"
"Of course not." Jiang Yunu's voice sounded surprised.
The supernatural threads that had penetrated the wind wall suddenly gathered together quickly and twisted into a new whirlwind.
A green "wind" appeared in front of Needy's face.
"I will also use your skills." Jiang Yunu's voice reached Nidi's ears through the green whirlwind. His retina reflected a large area of rotating green light, which almost made him dizzy.
His body was sucked in and flew lightly.
Then it flew into the air, and a green line emerged from the "whirlwind", like a whip, which whipped him in mid-air and knocked him diagonally down to the fighting stage.
"--look!"
This loud voice pierced through the strange wind that was still swirling above the arena.
It came from Song Yang, who took time out of his schedule to watch the match, specifically to watch Jiang Yunu fight.
Song Yang was standing in the audience, his fingers facing the stage, his other arm clasped around his friend and roommate, his tone full of confidence: "See, I told you she's a good person, right?"
His companions looked again and again in the direction of his finger, and rubbed their eyes. They were only sure that they really saw Jiang Yunu pulling out the supernatural whip in mid-air and whipping someone down, and they were also sure that the medical cabin was pulling away the third-year student who had fallen off the stage.
His companion was puzzled: "...Excuse me, how is she?"
"The last time I played against her, I gave it my all, but I remained polite and respectful throughout, never deliberately mocking or insulting her," Song Yang said. "She only hit seniors like that, not me. She has principles. What a good person!"
Jiang Yunu did not intend to use that whip.
Her fighting style was once described by Teacher Trista as "intuitive". Rather than systematically studying various combat theories, she always relies on intuition and combat instinct to explore the way, naturally forming a set of combat awareness in actual combat, and then following the guidance of instinct and intuition to make her moves.
Because the fighting method is not derived from systematic theoretical teaching, Jiang Yunu's fighting style is also flexible and changeable.
After Jiang Yunu copied Nidi's skills and used the wind to sweep him up into the sky, in that split second, she thought to herself: "I copied his skills, but I don't want to use all of them to defeat him."
She wanted to add a little "her own touch" to the copied skills.
Almost at the same time this thought came to her mind, her supernatural power automatically separated, and the suction of the wind was weakened at the same time, leaving an opening to release the "prey" caught in it - a green vine-like supernatural whip was formed instantly, and then the "prey" was whipped out from the opened opening.
Done in one go.
Jiang Yunu didn't even think about "I want a whip now".
The whip formed at that moment, perhaps just her fighting instinct telling her - "Since you want to add your own things, then a whip would be very useful at this moment!"
She did so instinctively.
But the scene of Nidhi being swept into the air and then whipped off the fighting stage still left a deep impression on the onlookers.
... Song Yang’s speech was also very impressive.
Song Yang was particularly excited among the crowd, all of whom had different expressions but generally felt strange about the white-haired girl on the stage.
The other people around not only felt strange about Jiang Yunu on the stage, but also cast strange looks at Song Yang.
Song Yang acted as if no one was around and insisted that "Jiang Yunu is a good person."
What was even more bizarre was that Pei Ya, who was standing in the crowd, silently discovered that since Song Yang promoted his "good man theory", among the crowd who originally had different opinions on Jiang Yunu, some students were actually led astray by Song Yang's views and began to think that Jiang Yunu seemed to be quite principled.
"After all... it was indeed Nidhi who had been provoking her from the beginning and had a very bad attitude towards the schoolmate, right?" Someone whispered to a friend.
"That's what she said," my friend muttered quietly, "but she's just a first-year from District 7. No matter what, she shouldn't humiliate her seniors in a fight like that and even whip them with her supernatural power, right?"
"But this is a battle. Is there any talk of humiliation on the battle stage? Isn't it just about winning or losing? Did she deliberately bully her seniors or something like that?"
Some people are completely opposed to this.
"It's still too ostentatious."
"I think she's arrogant. It's true that she has the ability, but she's so arrogant now. Who knows how arrogant she can be in the future?"
These remarks were quietly heard by Pei Ya who was nearby.
Pei Ya has a very unique little skill, which Jiang Yunu discovered when he first got to know her - that is, as long as Pei Ya doesn't take the initiative to speak, her presence can be silently reduced to almost zero. Even if she is in the midst of a noisy crowd, she will be subconsciously ignored by the people around her.
This magical little skill seems to be an important tool for Pei Ya to "accidentally" get a lot of information.
When Jiang Yunu walked down from the fighting stage, the people who had been discussing around the stage had dispersed.
People's psychology is sometimes very strange. No matter whether you are optimistic about her or pessimistic about her, when Jiang Yunu is still a "seed", her future development is unknown. Will her strength continue to improve and become a truly "unattainable" person in the future, or will she finally encounter someone she is "not as powerful as" during her growth, and be crushed by the other party or even have her development path broken? Most people maintain a neutral attitude on the surface.
I won't express my opinion easily in front of her.
"Do you want to know what everyone said about you just now?" Pei Ya walked out of her little corner with a built-in shielding function and greeted Jiang Yunu.
When Jiang Yunu fights, she always focuses more on her opponent and doesn't pay attention to the environment outside the "combat zone" unless necessary.
She didn't even know how many spectators were around the stage just now. She thought it was just like the empty space she saw when she left the stage, meaning that no one was paying attention to the match between her, a freshman, and a third-year student.
"Were there 'everyone' here just now?" the white-haired girl wondered.
Pei Ya nodded firmly, telling her with both actions and words: "Yes."
But before Jiang Yunu came down, they dispersed as if they didn't want to talk about her in person.
Jiang Yunu said, "Okay, then please, my dear Miss Ole, tell me what they said."
Jiang Yunu created a ceremonial atmosphere for Pei Ya's "intelligence sharing".
Through Pei Ya, Jiang Yunu successfully learned about the updated content of his reputation in school.
The white-haired girl listened to the rumors about herself with great interest, as if she was listening to a legendary campus story with someone else as the protagonist.
"Wow!" Jiang Yunu was amazed when she heard that she had become arrogant and domineering in school, with a weird personality and a changeable temperament, and that she had also developed a new hobby of "whipping people with a supernatural whip on the fighting stage". She couldn't help but applaud herself.
"I'm such a pervert!" she sighed sincerely.
