Chapter 365: The Magnificent Princess

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

Although Lan Qingyue was in her early thirties, she had sacrificed everything for her cultivation and remained single. As one of the most beautiful women in the world, she was as famous for breaking men's hearts as well as being a powerful cultivator.

It must be Zambrotta's defeat that had evoked her interest in Einherjar Wannabe. As Zambrotta's old rival, Lan Qinyue was well aware of the difficulty in cultivating to the ultimate power of the Thunder Drum. Zambrotta had tried his entire life and still failed to uncover the secret. However, Einherjar Wannabe had done it in just one go.

And, he was only a seventeen years old boy? Impossible!

His seasoned drum beat was a tell-tale sign that he was a battle-hardened warrior instead of a fledgling as he claimed.

Truth be told, Lan Qinyue was more interested in the music than learning the fighter's tactics, and neither was she interested in winning the fight—she simply wanted to get acquainted with this mysterious fighter.

Even as the tournament was about to enter its most exciting stage, the event at the PA system was able to garner a significant amount of attention. Everyone couldn't stop imagining what would happen if Einherjar Wannabe had partaken in this year's tournament.

Wang Tong accepted the challenge on behalf of Mr. Wannabe as he lamented over the inconvenience of being so famous. Einherjar Wannabe's display of power had silenced all doubts that used to surround him, especially after his battle with the thunder Drum Zambrotta.

While Wang Tong was having fun at the tournament, Mr. Wannabe was getting increasing bored, and he complained about lack of opponent to Wang Tong incessantly. As soon as he learned that someone had challenged him, he pleaded Wang Tong to accept the challenge right away without even knowing who the challenger was. Wang Tong was more than happy to arrange the fight, as at least Mr. Wannabe would finally stop complaining for a while this way.

Wang Tong's next opponent was a mysterious Kaedeian called Athena. Heidi had brought eight of her personal guards to the tournament, and Athena was one of the two personal guards that had made it into the final 32.

The first fight of the final 32 playoffs started with the battle section six, between Heidi and Yao Bai from the Templar's court. Although the Templar's court was well known for their powerful warriors, Yao Bai's opponent was the formidable number one seeded fighter of the Kaedians. Therefore, no one was certain who the winner would be.

The match started in a crowded arena. At this stage of the tournament, every match was bound to be a splendid display of power. The audiences were able to watch fighters that they otherwise would never able to see in real-life.

The Kaedeian princess was dressed in a blue over-all, yet the slightly baggy dress did not hide her soft curves. At the other side of the stage, Yao Bai stood with a lance strapped to his back, the fire of battle burning in his eyes.

”Please.” Representing the Templar's Court, Yao Bai tried his to be as courteous as he could in front of a noble lady.

As soon as the two fighters finished bowing to each other, Heidi attacked immediately with her sword-like weapon. These swords were unique to the Kaedeians, and were called the Cinquedeas. It was shaped like a sword, with numerous unique motifs carved into its body. Since the Kaedeian race was isolated from the Human race until a few hundred years ago, they had developed their unique weapons that were suited to their own culture.

The Phantom Dash!

Heidi had eliminated many opponents with this signature Kaedeian technique. So far, none of her opponents had been able to see through her elusive footwork.

In a blink of an eye, Heidi was right in front of her opponent, and before the rest of her illusions had disappeared, her chinquedea whizzed at the young Templar. However, Yao Bai was well prepared, and had already charged up his soul energy. With a loud ”vroom,” the young Templar thrust his lance and blocked the incoming blade.

With a loud clank, Heidi's first attack had been countered, and the impact staggered her, pushing her a few feet back.

”My lady, I am a Templar. So, perhaps you could try a little bit harder?” Yao Bai asked courteously as he plastered a smile on his face.

Heidi cracked a smile, which unintentionally subverted the minds of all the males in the arena. Even her opponent had to hold back his urge to kneel under her feet. After gathering himself, the young Templar slowly cranked up his soul energy, and with a forceful twist of his wrist, the lance vibrated, sending out waves of energy.

”Take this!” Yao Bai shouted as he plunged the lance into his opponent.
