Chapter 706: 0707 Women Should Be Strong! (First Update)

Jin Yunping entered the ring!

The first one to step forward was Jin Yunping, who ranked fifth in last year’s martial competition, immediately drawing the attention of many onlookers.

Sitting next to Jin Wanshan, besides the Clan Leader of the Bu clan, were also several elders of the Jin clan.

At last year’s grand competition, Jin Yunping and Jin Tianyi were both favored by two elders, and now, they had become direct descendants of the Jin clan, overnight turning into the clan’s geniuses.

"This year’s martial competition is likely to be no different from last year, it’s just these five youngsters vying for the ranking," said Jin Tianyi’s master, known as Elder Jin Mu.

"Elder Jin Mu, our Yunping is very likely to take over Jin Tianyi’s position," Elder Jin Shui said.

"Elder Jin Shui, the sixth place in last year’s martial competition was none other than the Clan Leader’s child, if defeated by that girl, I’m afraid your disciple Yunping won’t stand a chance in vying for the fourth spot," Elder Jin Mu retorted.

The two elders discussed nonchalantly, excluding all other clan disciples from the conversation.

Jin Wanshan found their comments grating to hear, realizing that these elders were also subtly ridiculing him; although Jin Wanshan was the Clan Leader of the Jin clan, neither of his children had managed to rank in the top five, which was somewhat embarrassing both personally and logically.

His daughter Jin Zhimo was alright, at least ranking towards the front, but his son Jin Shanshun was far behind; even though he had fought for the opportunity to go to the Great Emperor’s tomb, it nearly cost him a falling out with several elders.

It was then that Jin Zhimo stepped onto the stage, clad in green; her attire bore the semblance of a young man, neat and clean.

"Jin Zhimo... tsk, it’s probably because her brother lacks strength, so she’s dressed like this, trying to win some face for her father," someone laughed.

In ancient clans, everything was based on strength, and even the Clan Leader’s child would be looked down upon if they were not powerful. Jin Zhimo had more talent than Jin Shanshun and was also very diligent in her training, her abilities were not to be underestimated.

Now that the Clan Leader’s daughter had made her move, many people widened their eyes, eager to see who would win between the two.

Jin Yunping was very composed; he had beaten Jin Zhimo last year and naturally didn’t fear her now.

"Jin Zhimo, I really didn’t want to fight you, after all, you are a woman, and the Clan Leader’s daughter too, but today is the martial competition, and I must apologize for offending you."

"Go ahead!"

Jin Zhimo flicked her longsword, its tip humming as she focused on Jin Yunping.

"Good, you are much stronger than your brother, at least you can make me take this seriously," Jin Yunping spun his two iron hammers, which with each movement conjured a wind, as True Qi wildly surged like the roar of a wild beast.

Hearing Jin Yunping belittle her brother, Jin Zhimo’s gaze shifted: "My brother isn’t for you to judge."

Whoosh!

Jin Zhimo’s longsword swept up, instantly filling the battlefield with crisscrossing Sword Qi, continuously colliding with Jin Yunping’s double hammers.

As the two clashed, their momentum was formidable, especially Jin Yunping’s double hammers that burst the air, making many Jin clan disciples tremble in fear, thinking that one hammer blow would turn them into a meat pie.

Jin Zhimo’s swordplay contained a trace of agility, her figure dancing in unison with her sword as if a beauty was performing a sword dance, but to some, it was filled with deadly intent.

"While the swordplay is rough around the edges, it excels in agility, and just this alone is enough to hold one’s ground in the realm of True Qi," Ye Qiu remarked.

Many people cast sidelong glances, thinking this guy must be smitten with Jin Zhimo’s beauty.

Although Jin Zhimo couldn’t compare with the strongest three prodigies of the Jin Clan, even Jin Feiyang showed her attentions. She was famous within the Jin Clan for both her beauty and strength.

"Brother Ye Qiu, even though my strength isn’t much to speak of, my sister is considered a goddess in our clan. It’s just too bad my strength is insufficient; otherwise, I would’ve given those who bother her a good beating long ago."

Ye Qiu cracked a slight smile, sensing that Jin Shanshun was indeed very concerned about his sister.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Jin Zhimo’s two sword strikes missed, and at that moment, Jin Yunping’s double hammers came crashing down fiercely.

"Be careful." Jin Shanshun almost intervened at this scene, but Jin Zhimo reacted swiftly. With a tip of her toe, she landed on the ground and spun her body, dodging the hammer blow.

"Jin Zhimo, I advise you to just surrender; you’re no match for me." Jin Yunping was utterly unconcerned. His Double Hammer Method was extremely domineering. Although it wasn’t as agile as Jin Zhimo’s Swordsmanship, under the guidance of Elder Jin Shui, especially against Jin Zimo’s Swordsmanship, he had specifically trained in the Subduing Tiger Double Hammer Technique. This was the main reason Elder Jin Shui was confident his disciple Jin Yunping wouldn’t be overturned by Jin Zhimo.

For this martial arts competition, Jin Yunping had done a lot of homework, all to make a name for himself in the competition.

"I will not surrender." Jin Zhimo was stubborn; although she was a woman, she never believed that being female should stop her from reaching the peak of martial arts.

Even if she could be like Bu Ling, a woman who behaved quietly and demurely, Jin Zhimo didn’t wish to do so.

As the daughter of the Clan Leader and the sister of Jin Shanshun who had already disappointed their father, becoming a subject of ridicule and mockery behind her back by the clan members, she didn’t want this to continue. She wanted to regain face for her brother, to make her father proud, to have her name, Jin Zhimo, met with respect by the clan members. If that occurred, even if some mocked her brother, it would lessen due to her strength.

"Such determination, worthy of the Clan Leader’s daughter, much stronger than her brother!"

"I often see Jin Zhimo practicing alone in the training ground, she’s crazy about it."

"Looking at her brother Jin Shanshun, always elusive, it seems he’s still delving into those broken things. I really don’t understand why he wastes his time on that, martial arts competitions don’t even allow its use. Just having True Qi but probably not even knowing how to channel it."

"Indeed, not impressive. This year in the martial arts competition, Jin Zhimo has a chance to rank in the top five, but her brother Jin Shanshun, I bet he’ll be ranked beyond twenty. Last year in the competition, he was not only beaten by peers but also defeated by someone who just broke through to the True Qi realm; it was embarrassingly weak!"

Jin Zhimo lifted her longsword and took her place opposite Jin Yunping once more.

Some of the watching Jin Clan disciples started discussing, inadvertently making Jin Shanshun a hot topic too.

Jin Shanshun had long surpassed the True Qi realm from before, now a legendary figure, and even he heard these discussions, which did not escape Ye Qiu’s ears as well.

"Brother Shanshun, it seems like you have quite a poor reputation for strength among the clan members!" Hearing the discussions of the Jin Clan disciples, even Ye Qiu could hardly listen anymore. Was the old Jin Shanshun really that bad?

Jin Shanshun lowered his head, not denying it: "It’s true, I was a Martial Artist in the True Qi realm, but I was defeated by someone who dared to break through the True Qi boundary."

Ye Qiu frowned. The current Jin Shanshun didn’t seem so weak, considering that he had dared to challenge Ji Wuming on that mysterious mountaintop before.

It was then that Jin Shanshun spoke up, "After that martial arts competition, I trained like mad. No one knows how much effort I put in, but my talent is truly poor. Others could master the use of True Qi in a few days, yet it took me a whole month."

"But you are different now, you’re no longer the Jin Shanshun of last year," Ye Qiu said.

Jin Shanshun nodded, "Although my combat skills are still weak, this time, I will give it my all. Even if it results in serious injury, I will let everyone know that Jin Shanshun has grown stronger, not as weak and bullyable as they say!"
