Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 204: Chapter 205: The Initial Awakening of the Vermilion Bird Mark (1)

Lin Ruoxi is the goddess in the hearts of many male students at Celestial Dragon Academy, and her matches are the most attractive, drawing cheers from many.

Yet Lin Ruoxi turned a deaf ear to these cheers, with her mind solely focused on how to slay the despicable, vile youth before her, to vent the long-suppressed rage within her heart.

The Sea of Flowers is currently her most powerful strike, with sword qi petals rushing thunderously toward that youth, arriving in front of him instantly.

”Excellent! What a flavor! I like women who are both gorgeous and ruthless, it’s only fun this way!” The youth seemed utterly unconcerned by Lin Ruoxi’s martial skill attack, continuing to provoke.

His foot slipped, and his entire body shifted sideways several meters, moving so quickly that the audience below was astonished.

Lin Ruoxi’s strike was deftly evaded by him, and simultaneously, he wielded his long sword in a flurry of sword flowers attacking Lin Ruoxi. All this happened in a flash, and many hadn’t even understood that the youth’s attack had already reached Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi had not anticipated that this youth would possess such speed, faster even than Chu Lin, evading and countering almost within the blink of an eye.

Faced with this sword, Lin Ruoxi could only swiftly withdraw her sword technique and step back, making room to defend, realizing she must be cautious against this rogue’s formidable power.

Hurriedly, she raised her sword before her chest, just managing to block the opponent’s attack. The force on his sword was significant enough to push Lin Ruoxi back several meters before halting.

”How does it feel, beauty? I was being merciful, or you’d be seriously injured already. See how considerate I am!” The youth spoke shamelessly.

”Despicable!” Lin Ruoxi shook her long sword directly forward, unconcerned whether the opponent’s sword might hurt her.

Startled by Lin Ruoxi’s reckless fighting style, the youth retreated hastily, anxiously raising his sword for a block.

Lin Ruoxi naturally wouldn’t let him escape unscathed, her sword suddenly sliding downward, aiming for his leg—perhaps unable to kill him outright, but enough to slow his speed, giving her a chance to strike.

The youth saw Lin Ruoxi’s sudden change in attack, smiling faintly, cleverly dodging with precise timing.

Meanwhile, his long sword thrust directly at Lin Ruoxi’s chest, the intention quite clear.

Only then did Lin Ruoxi realize how skilled this guy was, toying with her from the start, yet she couldn’t defeat him, feeling a bit anxious.

Thinking of Chu Lin’s uncertain fate further disturbed her, as a martial artist’s agitation is a major taboo; Lin Ruoxi, usually calm, was now uncharacteristically unsettled.

Seeing the advancing sword, feeling unable to counter, she hastily struck with a palm to break it apart.

The youth seemed to anticipate Lin Ruoxi’s move, promptly withdrawing his attacking sword, and quickly countering with a palm strike.

Lin Ruoxi’s palm hit the youth’s long sword, while his palm landed on Lin Ruoxi’s chest with apparent might yet lacking any force, ”I like this! Hahaha!” The youth, knowing the maiden before him would rage, quickly stepped back.

This move by the youth was witnessed by many below, who found it excessive, sparking much discussion.

Some admirers of Lin Ruoxi started cursing, while jealous ”dino-girls” spoke foul insults, driving Lin Ruoxi to extreme anger.

An unprecedented humiliation ignited Lin Ruoxi’s wrath completely, the fury in her heart continually rising, as the Earth Star Pill within her dantian surged to the extreme, causing a rush of reverse blood spraying from her mouth.

A scorching killing intent suddenly emanated from her body, as the red Vermilion Bird Mark on her forehead emitted a red glow, followed by a heart-wrenching cry.

This was a sign of forced awakening of the Vermilion Bird Mark, not fully awakened but borrowing part of its power, paid for with unbearable pain.

Lin Ruoxi felt heat burning through her like fire, an unprecedented torment that compelled her to cry out in anguish, sounding deeply pained and helpless.

Her eyes turned red instantly, the excruciating pain lasted almost a minute before slowly subsiding, leaving the youth opposite stupefied by Lin Ruoxi’s display, forgetting to attack.

Lin Ruoxi’s body exuded a suffocating pressure, one deriving from an ancient holy beast, causing some near the ring to cough up blood, unexpected for all.

The immense pressure from Lin Ruoxi shocked Gongsun Changyuan and Old Man Xu above, ”Isn’t she Chu Linfeng’s woman? How is she emanating such potent pressure.”

”It must be a bloodline awakening, though incomplete, merely showing a hint of bloodline power; what bloodline could it be?” Old Man Xu hesitantly stated.

”That’s the awakening of the Vermilion Bird Bloodline; didn’t you see the red light on the young girl’s forehead? I didn’t expect your academy to have such talent. I’m determined to have her join my Sea Dragon Academy as this round’s gamble,” Yun Feiyang abruptly interjected.

”Impossible! My academy members cannot be taken by you, give up on this idea!” Old Man Xu immediately rejected.

”It’s not up to you, unless Celestial Dragon Academy wins the elite class match, which seems unlikely! Hahaha!” Yun Feiyang flaunted further, leaving the pair speechless.

On the ring, Lin Ruoxi was no longer able to control the sudden power surge, the flames of fury within her still burning, glaring at the youth opposite, yelling, ”Die!”

A more than two-meter long flaming sword qi directly cut toward him, the youth suddenly sensed a destructive force within the sword qi, realizing a head-on clash was impossible, only dodging remained.

As he attempted to move aside, he discovered the surrounding space was actually imprisoned, movement was impossible, the only directions were forward and backward, leaving him greatly alarmed.

Lin Ruoxi knew not the true power of her strike, only that the potent force within her had to be unleashed quickly, lessening her bodily pain.

The Sea Dragon Academy youth could only grit his teeth and manifest his strongest martial skill to resist Lin Ruoxi’s strike, and with his sword half-sway, the violent flaming sword qi overwhelmed him...
