Chapter 958: Chapter 958: Si Fuqing: Thunder! (1)

No matter how strong the Five States team might be, they were still just ordinary people. How could they possibly compare to a Master of Yin-Yang?

“Indeed,” the captain nodded in agreement. “This time, the Great Xia Empire’s teams participating in the OPL, except for the Storm team who were unlucky enough to draw against the West Deities team and lost, have all successfully advanced to the next round. The situation is not looking good for us.”

If they lost again, Eastern Mulberry would only have two teams left to compete for the top four positions.

They absolutely could not afford to lose.

“The match is tomorrow. Make sure they disappear tonight,” Takizawa Chiyo stood up, bowing to the others. “Please await my good news.”

**

Si Fuqing brought the first pentakill of the OPL season, propelling the Five States team above the Galaxy team to become the most popular team in the Great Xia Empire.

Unsurprisingly, her fanbase began to surge once again.

Previously, the harshest critics among the esports fans had now become her staunch supporters, their fervor even surpassing her long-time followers.

Due to the overwhelming demand from esports fans in other countries, Sang Yanqing created a new social media account for Si Fuqing. Within a few hours, her followers soared from zero to thirty-one million and continued to rise.

Sang Yanqing stared at the number, exhaling slowly before calling Si Fuqing. “You really are something. Now our international friends only see you as a professional player; they don’t even know you’re an actress.”

Her artist hadn’t even released a single film internationally, yet her name was already known worldwide.

This was an unexpected path to international fame.

“Sister Sang, stay calm,” Si Fuqing said leisurely. “This is just the beginning. There’s still a long road ahead. We can’t lag behind in acting either. Just wait until I give you something big.”

Whenever Si Fuqing mentioned “something big,” Sang Yanqing felt a headache coming on.

“Eastern Mulberry is not like the Great Xia Empire. Take good care of yourself over there,” Sang Yanqing advised. “I heard there are frequent ghost sightings. Even if it’s just a rumor, be careful. Just focus on your matches and leave everything else to me.”

“No problem,” Si Fuqing replied. “I just exorcised one yesterday, nothing to be afraid of.”

Sang Yanqing was momentarily speechless.

Trying to keep up with Si Fuqing’s thinking, she encouraged her, “Then exorcise a few more.”

After hanging up, she saw her assistant manager’s horrified expression and sighed again.

Working with Si Fuqing had led her to start talking about ghosts too.

What a troubling situation.

**

At the hotel.

Si Fuqing received numerous congratulatory messages. Stretching lazily, she rolled around on the bed before quickly falling asleep.

On the other bed, Jiang Changning also slept soundly.

After an unknown amount of time, the window creaked open, and something flew inside.

At the same moment, Si Fuqing’s eyes snapped open, a cold, chilling light in her gaze.

A few seconds later, she closed her eyes again, completely relaxing her body.

After another indeterminate period, sounds began to emerge around her.

“I have to say, these people from the Great Xia Empire are quite good-looking. Each one is better-looking than the last.”

“Isn’t that obvious? The young master said there’s a female celebrity among them.”

“The young master said not to kill them, just make sure they can’t compete tomorrow. We need to keep a close watch.”

As a few servants chatted, a lazy voice interjected, “What are you all talking about? Share with me too. I’m very sociable.”

“…”

The conversation instantly fell silent.

The girl smiled at them, her fox-like eyes curving slightly, exuding a cold calmness.

Si Fuqing’s sudden awakening startled the servants, who quickly looked towards Takizawa Chiyo. “Young master, she…”

Takizawa Chiyo was momentarily surprised but quickly regained his composure.

“Miss Si seems to be in good spirits, quite fitting to be a Master of Yin-Yang,” he smiled faintly. “Even though my shikigami has acted, Miss Si woke up so quickly.”

He had his shikigami bring three people.

Si Fuqing, Jiang Changfeng, and Jing Zhou.

Jiang Changfeng and Jing Zhou were still trapped in the beautiful dreams he had crafted, unable to wake unless he lifted the spell.

Si Fuqing’s awakening was unexpected, but with her on his turf, he wasn’t worried she could do anything out of his control.

He didn’t mind chatting with her.

“Shikigami?” Si Fuqing raised her head, her gaze falling on Takizawa Chiyo. “And you are?”

“Takizawa Chiyo,” he replied with a faint smile. “The name Takizawa should ring a bell for you.”

“Takizawa…” Si Fuqing leaned back in her chair. “It’s disappointing that a branch member of the Takizawa family hasn’t made any progress over the years.”

Takizawa Chiyo’s smile faded, his eyes growing colder. “Miss Si, do you know what you’re saying?”

Throughout Eastern Mulberry, and even half of the Western Continent, the four major families of Yin-Yang were revered guests, often invited for assistance even by the Free State.

No one had ever dared to speak to him this way.

“Of course I know,” Si Fuqing arched an eyebrow. “I’m saying you haven’t made any progress, no wonder you’re at the bottom of the four major families of Yin-Yang.”

She glanced at the unconscious Jing Zhou and Jiang Changfeng, her tone cool. “Moreover, by bringing us here, have you forgotten the rule that Masters of Yin-Yang must not harm ordinary people?”

“Miss Si, it’s good that you know you’re an ordinary person,” Takizawa Chiyo sat down opposite her. “So don’t even think about competing in the next round. But if you leave the Five States team and join our Phoenix Fire team, I’ll let you go right now.”

“Is that so?” Si Fuqing said indifferently. “Unfortunately, you’ve misjudged. I’m not someone you can manipulate.”

In the world of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, there was a rule not to harm ordinary people, akin to the evolved beings’ regulations.

Yet, some still ignored these rules, harming innocents.

Hearing this, Takizawa Chiyo’s expression gradually hardened, his voice turning cold. “Miss Si, I know the origins of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements lie in your Great Xia Empire, but times have changed. You’re a public figure, a celebrity; you can’t possibly know these things.”

“Do you know soul manipulation? Do you know shikigami? Do you know what dunjia divination is? You know nothing!”

He didn’t sense any power of Yin-Yang and Five Elements from Si Fuqing.

Just an ordinary person, albeit with a better physique.

While he couldn’t compare to the main lineage of the four major Yin-Yang families, he was still a Takizawa, superior to any itinerant Master of Yin-Yang.

The Masters of Yin-Yang from the Great Xia Empire?

Ridiculous.

In the fifteen hundred years since, Eastern Mulberry had far surpassed the Great Xia Empire in the arts of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements!

How could they compete?

Though unable to match the main lineage, he could easily handle a few esports players.

Provoked repeatedly, even the mild-tempered Takizawa Chiyo grew angry.

“Watch over these three,” he instructed his servants. “I’ll set up a formation around this room. It will dissipate at five o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Miss Si, you’ll have to endure until then.”

Si Fuqing’s eyes narrowed, her lashes lowering after a moment.

“I understand Miss Si’s frustration, but strength speaks for itself,” Takizawa Chiyo said loftily. “I haven’t killed you directly, which is already very lenient. If you dare insult the Takizawa family again, today will be your last day.”

Finished, he turned to leave, no longer interested in talking to Si Fuqing.

“Very well,” Si Fuqing said calmly. “No need for ordinary methods to deal with the world of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.”

Takizawa Chiyo paused, finding it amusing. “Do you even know what you’re talking about?”

“You don’t need to understand what I’m saying,” Si Fuqing smiled. “Because I’ll show you what a true Master of Yin-Yang is.”

She flexed her wrist, standing up slowly amidst the servants’ shocked gazes.

There was no trace of injury on her, and at that moment, the power of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements surged, enveloping the entire room.

Jiang Changfeng and Jing Zhou, who were previously under control, immediately woke up.

Seeing the scene before them, both were stunned.

Jiang Changfeng, being a member of the Miracle Doctor Alliance, was familiar with the Supernatural Management Bureau and adapted quickly. He was confused but composed.

Jing Zhou, a well-educated native of the Great Xia Empire, stared at Si Fuqing for a few seconds before fainting again.

Jiang Changfeng caught him just in time, his expression changing slightly.

They had been taken out of the hotel without any sensation.

He had heard of the terrifying arts of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements in Eastern Mulberry, but experiencing it firsthand was another matter.

And Si Fuqing…

Takizawa Chiyo’s pupils contracted sharply. He hadn’t even managed to speak when a loud crash resounded.

He looked up quickly but saw nothing.

Turning back, his gaze fell on the girl.

Under his horrified stare, Si Fuqing calmly said two words, “Thunder!”

“Boom!”

The sky roared with thunder, the winds shifting abruptly. Bright light pierced the darkness as a violent gust lifted the entire roof.

In the dazzling white light, Si Fuqing stood unmoved, lightning coiling around her like a war god descended.

After eight years, today, Yu Wu had returned to the world of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements!
