I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 926
Chapter 926: The Sun Tree War God, Vermilion Bird Princess
The Vermilion Bird Princess was the Sun Tree War God?
An Lin was dumbstruck. How was that possible?!
All of the Sun Tree War Gods were legends who had created records of a hundred wins, and there were only a handful of them in the ten thousand year history of the arena.
In fact, there were only ten Sun Tree War Gods, and all of them had statues of themselves lined up in the application hall outside, but the Vermilion Bird Princess was not among them!
But it seemed like everyone here knew of the Vermilion Bird Princess except for him…
Was there something wrong…
An Lin walked in a slight daze back to the waiting area as the Vermilion Bird Princess strode out.
“That was a pretty good battle, Lin An!”
The Vermilion Bird Princess patted An Lin’s shoulder as if they were good friends, and a radiant and enchanting smile appeared on her face.
An Lin was curious. “You’re the Sun Tree War God?”
“Nope.” The Vermilion Bird Princess immediately shook her head.
“Then why do they all call you that?” An Lin was perplexed.
The Vermilion Bird Princess looked at An Lin with a peculiar expression. “Do you really not know who I am? How could you just come to the arena without knowing anything?”
“I didn’t think there was any need to do research as I would be the final champion anyway,” An Lin replied honestly.
“Pffft…” The Vermilion Bird Princess burst into laughter. “You really are interesting, Lin An. I look forward to our battle, but I have to go now.”
The skeletal falcon on the arena platform had tears streaming down its face. “That’s ok, I can wait! Keep talking!”
An Lin immediately urged as the Vermilion Bird Princess turned to leave, “You haven’t even answered my question yet.”
“Haha, I’m not telling you! Why don’t you take a guess?” The Vermilion Bird Princess stuck her tongue out at him cheekily before walking onto the competition platform.
An Lin was so angry!
The MC’s enthusiastic voice sounded, “Competitor number thirty-four, the Vermilion Bird Princess, has competed in a total of ninety-nine battles at our arena and has ninety-nine consecutive victories!
“This is going to be her hundredth arena battle today, and if she wins, the Sun Tree is going to welcome its eleventh War God! Let’s give our most enthusiastic applause to the Vermilion Bird Princess!”
Everyone started cheering.
“Vermilion Bird Princess!”
“Sun Tree War God!”
“Invincible!”
Vermilion Bird Princess: “…”
An Lin: “…”
Alright, the MC answered all of his questions.
So this Vermilion Bird Princess was a War-God-to-be who had ninety-nine consecutive victories, which was pretty much a hundred already. It wouldn’t be a stretch to call her a War God, so it was no wonder that she was so popular.
A faint smile appeared on her face. It was just a shame that her streak was going to be broken here. Falling at the final hurdle after ninety-nine consecutive victories. Was this fate?
The Vermilion Bird Princess quickly calmed herself down before extending an enthusiastic greeting to all of the spectators present.
“Long time no see, did you all miss me?”
“Do you look forward to my fight?”
“I love you all, mwah[1]!”
A vibrant smile appeared on her face as she yelled to the audience of a hundred thousand, giving her the appearance of an energetic young woman.
On the arena, the audience’s cheers continued as if they would never tire.
An Lin stared speechlessly at the scenes unfolding before his eyes.
What the f*ck?! Why did this Vermilion Bird Princess remind him of a certain concert he had been to? Couldn’t she have more of a menacing War God persona instead?
The skeletal falcon was extremely crushed. Never would it have thought that the final battle of its life would pass with it acting as the green grass to the flower of the show.
The MC didn’t even need to make any introduction anymore…
Soon, the judge announced the commencement of the battle.
“Vermilion Bird Princess, can you be a bit gentler?” the skeletal falcon pleaded.
A vibrant smile appeared on her face as she wagged a slim finger. “It depends on your performance.”
An Lin’s interest was piqued. He wanted to see just how powerful this Vermilion Bird Princess was.
The skeletal falcon was a spirit beast at the Spirit Nurturing Pinnacle Stage, so the Vermilion Bird Princess should be able to insta-kill it, and An Lin would be able to gauge her strength the moment she attacked.
“Roar!”
The skeletal falcon let loose a high-pitched roar as it opened its mouth to reveal rows of sharp wind blades.
Each of these wind blades was enough to slice through iron and steel.
The Vermilion Bird Princess stepped forward, evading each wind blade with an extremely quick and nimble movement technique as she closed in on the skeletal falcon.
The skeletal falcon’s heart jolted in shock as it spread its bone wings, which separated into bone spears that pierced through the air toward the Vermilion Bird Princess at blinding speed.
The Vermilion Bird Princess twisted her nimble body through the air at an incredible angle and evaded all of the spears. Her high heels cracked the ground below her as she propelled herself toward the skeletal falcon.
The skeletal falcon instantly summoned its wings back and sliced toward the Vermilion Bird Princess like a pair of blades.
The Vermilion Bird Princess arched her back, and her slender waist bent like a graceful snake, thereby allowing her to evade again.
Her colorful dress fluttered around her like a blossoming flower as her well-proportioned little legs created an elegant trajectory through the air before her red high heels landed on the skeletal falcon’s head.
Boom!
The sound of a heavy collision erupted.
Red ripples erupted forth along with the sound of bones breaking.
The skeletal falcon opened its mouth, but it didn’t even have time to speak before its vitality disappeared, and it tumbled to the ground.
“The Vermilion Bird Princess is the winner!”
The MC announced in a loud voice.
Another wave of raucous cheers erupted as everyone roared the Vermilion Bird Princess’ name.
“Thanks for your support everyone!
“Did you all like my battle?
“Do you all think that I’m a graceful and adorable woman?”
The Vermilion Bird Princess interacted with the crowd, and everyone present was about to scream themselves hoarse! Her popularity was still on the rise, and the cheering sounded as if it would go on until the next day.
It was a decisive insta-kill!
The spectators didn’t think too much of this. It was only to be expected, after all.
But An Lin was quite astounded.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be surprised that an insta-kill had taken place either.
But the way in which the Vermilion Bird Princess had insta-killed her opponent made him draw a sharp intake of breath.
“She sure knows how to play…” An Lin muttered to himself.
The skeletal falcon was a powerful being at the Spirit Nurturing Pinnacle Stage, but the Vermilion Bird Princess had restricted her own power to that of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage. Her speed, power, vital energy expenditure… Everything was restricted to around the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage standard…
The vast majority of spectators didn’t notice this, but An Lin did.
This meant that the Vermilion Bird Princess had insta-killed the skeletal falcon, which was at the Spirit Nurturing Pinnacle Stage, even though she had restricted her strength to that of a Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage!
She was able to do so with a combination of extreme battle sense and a sharp instinct for battle as well as opportunities…
In any case, she was very powerful! She could be a worthy opponent!
If she could beat opponents with higher cultivation bases than her own like this, what would it be like if she unleashed her full power at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage…
An Lin’s expression became a little grave. He had to treat this opponent seriously!
After interacting with the audience, the Vermilion Bird Princess returned to the waiting area.
She turned a taunting smile toward An Lin. “How about it? Do you regret coming here after seeing my battle? Are you shivering in fear?”
“You only defeated a spirit beast at the Spirit Nurturing Pinnacle Stage! What’s there to show off about?” A disdainful expression appeared on An Lin’s face.
“You really didn’t understand what had happened?” the Vermilion Bird Princess asked.
“Understand what?” An Lin pretended to be stupid.
The Vermilion Bird Princess pursed her lips and stalked off to the side without responding to An Lin.
A hint of loneliness from being too powerful appeared on her face.
An Lin chuckled coldly in his heart. He would show her what true strength was in their showdown and give her a big surprise…
[1] The “mwah” at the end indicates that she’s blowing a kiss.
