They say the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, she brought this on herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, if she had kept a low profile before, why would she have been so guarded against?

Do you know what cannot be faked in this world? That’s one’s own strength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, Yun Ran pulled out her Peach Wood Sword and elegantly executed a sword flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze sharp, she looked towards her opponents: \"Rather than spouting so much nonsense, let me see just how formidable those of you who inherited countless legacies are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu’s eyes were also filled with a fighting spirit, the words from the opponent just now had stung his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does it mean that certain things are not meant for people of poor backgrounds to fight for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t reach today’s position just by his talent alone, but also through countless sweat and effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being openly defeated in the ring, he had nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being pointed at and deemed unworthy due to his status, he would never rest in peace even in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran swung her sword, and the person opposite’s expression changed, but he didn’t panic and directly took out a shield to block the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"bang\", the Sword Qi swung by Yun Ran was easily neutralized by the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu had witnessed Yun Ran’s Sword Qi before; even thick steel plates could be easily sliced through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this shield in front of him not only easily blocked it but also, didn’t leave any trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Mystical Sect truly lives up to its reputation, possessing such fine items.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran’s eyes were full of envy; even the Qingfeng Temple didn’t have Defensive Magic Artifacts of such caliber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Yun, do you know what this shield is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s at least a Quasi Magical Treasure Level Magic Artifact, not to be underestimated; with this shield here, our attacks are basically ineffective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran could feel that the shield faintly emitted an ancient aura; it definitely was a Lifebound Magical Artifact of a top-level Dark Master once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu thought for a moment, assumed a horse stance, gathered his strength, and finally unleashed his strongest sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike, when it collided with the shield, didn’t even make as much noise as when Yun Ran first struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu’s complexion slightly changed; he wouldn’t claim to be a top-notch master, but among the younger generation, he was definitely a standout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, his strongest sword strike seemed not even enough to tickle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he clearly sensed where the gap between him and the descendants of the Mystical Sect lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a defensive shield, he had never even heard about it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person opposite, seeing both Yun Ran and Xin Fu’s moves but with his shield unshaken, immediately burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve said it before, some things are determined at birth, what you don’t have at birth, forget about having it later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who were previously somewhat apprehensive towards Yun Ran now seeing her struggle, immediately began to jump around, openly ridiculing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, if I were you, I’d jump down from the stage right now, at least to save some face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been lucky enough to come here and get an insight into the world, don’t be ungrateful, otherwise, even more powerful Magic Artifacts are waiting for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most jubilant shouting was coming from those who had previously attained advancement through coercion and bribery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although many were eliminated in the previous round, now the few remaining were particularly annoying to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran looked past with a faint gaze, the three who had previously won relying on her, immediately lowered their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those who had interacted with Yun Ran could understand the oppressive feeling she conveyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since stepping onto the stage, the three of them had been dutifully playing the role of occupying waste, not even opening their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did Yun Ran mean by looking at them now? Could it be she was misplacing her anger onto them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The injustice, it was greater than Dou’e’s!\u003C\u002Fp>",1196,"2026-06-06T11:48:49.457Z",1,"novelbin.me","4e53c72548364563a8569841f81ae03ff2ee91607a9f646b691fc4545f0a179d","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-395","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-393",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
