Chapter 154 Battle against Yang Jing
He looked at Qing Tong: "Qing Tong, go ask them if they still want to compete. If they are willing to compete with you, you can earn a reward based on your own strength, just like Qing Ying."
Upon hearing Xiao Han's words, Qing Tong's eyes lit up with excitement. He nodded emphatically and then ran off happily.
Everyone was amused by his excited appearance.
Before long, Bronze appeared on the arena with his head held high and chest out.
He gave Xiao Han and the others below a confident smile, but from below, the smile made him look a bit simple-minded.
This round of competition started with the first match, and the bronze team won three matches in a row.
He easily defeated his opponents in all three matches, and then it was time to challenge Yang Yi.
He was clearly much more relaxed than Qingying when fighting Yang Yi; his martial arts skills were indeed superior to Qingying's.
Also, when he was watching the competition from below, he paid close attention to Yang Yi's movements and moves.
Having gained a general understanding of her attack patterns, he quickly found a way to counter her during the battle, making his fight against Yang Yi relatively easy.
In the end, like Qingying, he won the contest against Yang Yi, but he was no match for Yang Jing.
In the end, he returned home satisfied with five hundred taels of silver.
Although Yang Yi lost two matches in a row, she was not upset or resentful, nor did she show any displeasure.
On the contrary, she was in an exceptionally good mood today because she was able to spar with several people who were better than her in one day.
Although I lost, I also realized my shortcomings. I will review and analyze today's competition when I get back, and then make improvements and practice.
After the bronze bronze figure stepped off the stage, Prince Qi nimbly leaped onto the stage.
With a smile on his face, he looked at Yang Jing with sincere eyes, "Young General, it is a rare opportunity to have this chance today. I wonder if the Young General would do me the honor of exchanging a few blows with me?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing nodded and readily agreed, "It would be my honor to compete with Fifth Master! Please..."
After saying that, the two stood facing each other, holding wooden sticks in their hands, and an invisible pressure instantly spread across the arena.
As the tension built, the fierce battle officially began.
Prince Qi was the first to attack Yang Jing. The wooden stick in his hand was as sharp as a sword, with an imposing and incomparably fierce aura.
Yang Jing then calmly responded to the challenge, and both sides displayed exquisite and unparalleled moves.
For a moment, the wooden sticks and the figures of the two men flashed and clashed on the arena as they exchanged blows, neither giving an inch.
After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, Prince Qi was still slightly inferior, and Yang Jing found an opening and defeated him with a powerful move.
However, Prince Qi was not discouraged. He came to the center of the arena, cupped his hands in a fist salute, and sincerely praised, "Young General is indeed worthy of his reputation. As the rumors say, he is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also intelligent and brave. He is truly admirable."
Yang Jing waved his hand repeatedly, responding humbly: "Fifth Master is too kind. I am merely stronger than others, and I am not worthy of the title 'wise and brave'."
Prince Qi said, "Young General, you are too modest. With your talent, you are fully worthy of such praise."
At this moment, Prince Rui, who had been watching from below the stage, lowered his head and looked tenderly at Princess Rui beside him, reaching out to help her tighten her outer cloak.
He asked softly, "You've been standing here for quite a while now, are you feeling tired? Are you feeling cold?"
Princess Rui looked up to meet Prince Rui's concerned gaze and shook her head: "I don't feel tired or cold. But Second Master, would you like to go up and spar with the young general?"
She had just noticed that when Prince Rui was watching the battle between Prince Qi and Yang Jing intently, his eyes were shining, and she figured he must also want to go up and have a match with them.
"My martial arts skills are certainly no match for the young general's. If I were to go up and spar with him, I could only say that I am asking him for advice. However, I really want to go up and learn from him."
Princess Rui smiled broadly and joked, "Then go ahead! Otherwise you'll nag me when you get back!"
Prince Rui smiled wryly and nodded slightly in agreement. "The Princess Consort is right."
Finally, after being persuaded by Princess Rui, Prince Rui also nimbly leaped onto the ring.
He and Yang Jing stood facing each other, and the two instantly entered combat mode, launching a new round of competition.
Prince Rui was exceptionally skilled and possessed superb martial arts abilities. Their fierce battle lasted for a long time, during which he and Yang Jing exchanged moves for an extended period.
However, Yang Jing had spent many years in the army and had rich combat experience, plus he was stronger than others.
As time went on, despite Prince Rui's best efforts to fight back, he gradually found himself at a disadvantage due to his slightly inferior physical strength compared to Yang Jing.
Ultimately, after several intense exchanges, he was defeated due to exhaustion.
With a smile on his face, he walked to the center of the arena, clasped his hands in a fist and said to Yang Jing, "Young General, you are indeed brave and extraordinary, truly admirable. It is an honor for me to fight you today. Thank you for your guidance."
Yang Jing responded humbly, "Second Master, you flatter me. It is my honor to have the opportunity to compete with you today. I only managed to win by a narrow margin."
At this moment, Qingying, who was watching the battle from below, turned to Prince Xuan beside her and said, "Sixth Master, would you like to go up and spar with the young general?"
Upon hearing this, King Xuan waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I know my martial arts skills are not good enough, so I will not go up and make a fool of myself."
At the same time, Long Chuqing, who was standing to the side, also turned her gaze to Xiao Han, "Xiao Han, what about you! Do you want to go up and experience it for yourself later?"
Xiao Han lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "No."
Qingying, standing nearby, rolled her eyes and said to Long Chuqing with a grin, "Miss Long, why don't you go up and have a match? You could earn five hundred taels! Who knows, you might even win five hundred taels of gold and a precious sword!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Tong also came over and said, "You really have to admit, Miss Long, you're so powerful. If you were to fight the young general, what are your chances of winning?"
Long Chuqing stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and shook his head. "I don't know. Judging from the previous matches, he is indeed very strong, and he is very powerful. I am not at an advantage in terms of strength, and I am not confident if we fight head-on. Sigh... I'd better give up! I don't want to fight today!"
It was almost dusk, and light snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
Zi Guang carefully caught a snowflake and said happily to Long Chuqing beside her, "Miss, look, it's snowing again."
Hearing the sound, Long Chuqing looked up at the gloomy sky and said, "It really is! It's snowing again."
After saying that, she turned to look at Ziguang and asked, "You've been standing here for so long, are you cold?"
"It's alright. I wore extra clothes when I went out today, so it's not too cold."
