Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1556: Chapter 1536: Wang Mazi vs. Luo Qianqian

When Wang Mazi began to draw his opponent, he attracted the attention of the entire arena, not just the contestants, but even more so the audience.

Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for his result.

You see, when the last round ended, that terrifying move left them still reminiscing, an indiscriminate attack that left only him on stage, it was simply a miraculous skill.

All the spectators were eagerly anticipating who this strongest contestant Wang Mazi from this division would face.

Unlike the audience, every contestant from other sects was praying that he wouldn’t be matched with them. After all, a killer with some powerful moves made it hard not to take him seriously head-on.

The audience filling the seats today were true devotees of the Sky Inquiry Tower.

”Main arena, Bai Yi versus Hong Wu, Sky Inquiry Tower’s Wang Mazi versus Nine Heavens Pavilion’s Luo Shiqi.”

When Wang Mazi handed the ball to the host, Luo Qianqian felt uneasy because she saw red. Meeting Wang Mazi, their people would surely be suppressed, and she never imagined that it would be she who would face Wang Mazi...

”Oh my god...” She was really speechless.

Luo Qianqian smiled wryly, shrugged innocently at the others: ”I’ve been a bit lucky lately, but at least you guys don’t have to face him.”

After all, Wang Mazi wouldn’t dare to hit Nine Heavens Pavilion members too hard, being a regular guest, and with Yue Tingyu now in the VIP seats, angering Yue Tingyu, especially by harming Luo Qianqian, would leave them in a tough spot.

”East arena, Baier versus Blue Three, ...”

Once all five from Sky Inquiry Tower had drawn their opponents, no one else from Nine Heavens Pavilion needed to go on stage, and while relieved, they couldn’t help but worry for Luo Qianqian. Even though this Wang Mazi was something of a familiar face, it was still a competition, and letting her win would be unthinkable. Moreover, if Wang Mazi were really to let her win, the crowd’s scorn could drown Luo Qianqian...

”Alas, hope he doesn’t tire me out too much.” Luo Qianqian sighed and naturally walked from the preparation area towards the main arena.

Standing low-key on the main arena, her short hair swayed with her movements, carrying an air of competence.

Soon amidst a wave of fervent cheers and applause, Wang Mazi stepped onto the stage, awkwardly looking at Luo Qianqian in front of him. His gaze was filled with hesitation, his hands clasped in front of him, fingers unconsciously intertwined, looking a bit at a loss.

Seeing this move, Luo Qianqian immediately guessed he was hesitating about whether to let her win. Because Luo Shufan sometimes made this move when thinking too.

The wholesomeness combined with his strength aroused the audience’s constant screams.

Wang Mazi was genuinely in turmoil, not to mention she was just a young girl, just this long acquaintance meant he couldn’t strike her, he immediately raised his hand intending to forfeit.

Luo Qianqian glared over at once: ”If we’re friends, then fight me openly and properly, I, Luo Shiqi, haven’t fallen to the point where I need others to let me win!”

Wang Mazi innocently lowered his hand, even though Luo Qianqian said so, he still couldn’t bring himself to strike a young girl harshly.

Instantly he eliminated any dark moves from his mind.

As the bout was about to begin, the crowd’s emotions were fully stirred, not only on the main arena with Luo Qianqian and Wang Mazi, but even at the smaller arenas that could hold just dozens of spectators, emotions were running high.

The host wasted no time, promptly announcing the start of the battle.

As the host’s voice ushered the start, Luo Qianqian slightly bent her knees, her entire being launched towards Wang Mazi, her eyes filled with sharpness.

At this moment, Wang Mazi wasn’t the person who was always eating and chatting in their courtyard, but her opponent, and she wouldn’t hold back against an opponent.

Her form shifted in mid-air, the Black Bow appeared in her hand in front of her, stringing and releasing an arrow in one fluid motion, a light tip of her toes redirected her forward, her entire being like a long whip freely changing direction in mid-air, sweeping towards Wang Mazi.

As several ice arrows came towards him, Wang Mazi’s response was no slower, he quickly tossed out two hidden weapons, grabbing his coat’s hem, he spun in place and vanished from the platform.

Meanwhile, as several attacks headed for Luo Qianqian, until the daggers, hidden weapons, and ice arrows fell to the ground, the audience realized the two had already exchanged moves but couldn’t see them at all.

Luo Qianqian paused her steps, stars visible in her eyes, scanning her surroundings. Suddenly, she swiftly pulled out a dagger and threw it in one direction, followed closely by six more daggers, the seven forming a line on the ground, accompanying two drops of blood, clearly having injured Wang Mazi.

Though she didn’t know Wang Mazi’s whereabouts, her sixth sense was incredibly sharp, so going with the feeling led to her judgment.

Suddenly, a flash of light and shadow, Luo Qianqian’s body stumbled almost to the ground from a solid body hit. She couldn’t help but become more vigilant inside, knowing Wang Mazi hadn’t used his full strength, he was merely playing along with her. This move was merely a complaint for her having injured him, with no other intent.

Even so, Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but be horrified inside, no wonder Sky Inquiry Tower intended to find an excuse to forfeit rather than confront them head-on, with an individual whose strength was already formidable to this degree. It was fortunate he bore no malice, otherwise, even this collision could have rendered her dizzy, unlike now, where she just nearly fell.

Wang Mazi clearly had no plans to knock Luo Qianqian off the arena, and as Luo Qianqian settled down and watched his position again, he was already standing behind her.

Just as Luo Qianqian seemed to perceive the danger, she spun around, rolling on the ground, half-kneeling to brace her small bow with a knee, releasing an ice arrow from its string.

Wang Mazi’s low-key reticence carried a deceptive allure, making one feel he was an earnest and honest person, but he was actually the core of the Sky Inquiry Tower team, and all attack strategies were decided by him alone. Not only the six others regarded him as their leader, even Yang Feng conceded to any decision he’d made without opposing.

While he was like other assassins, unlike them in that they all practiced the same cultivation techniques, the difference lay in that he had received the full version of the technique passed down from the Sky Inquiry Tower’s owner, whereas others only had simplified versions.
