Chapter 152 Qingying Takes the Stage
Yang Yi shouted loudly to the audience, "Is there anyone willing to come up and challenge this warrior on the stage? If any hero can defeat him and withstand fifty of my moves, I will add another twenty taels, for a total reward of forty taels."
Upon hearing this, a murmur of whispers arose from the audience, but no one stepped forward to accept the challenge.
This inevitably leads one to wonder: do those masters never go out? Or are they simply all wealthy?
Qingying suddenly turned to Prince Xuan beside her: "Sixth Prince Xuan, I wonder if you are interested in this? Would you like to go up and take on the challenge?"
King Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this: "Do you think I'm short of those forty taels?"
"Oh dear... that's not what I meant! It's not about the money, it's just about sparring." Qingying nudged Xuan Wang's arm with her elbow and whispered, "Well... didn't you want to improve your martial arts and internal strength? Can't the person on this stage be used as a practice opponent?"
After hearing this, King Xuan reached out his right hand and stroked his chin, seemingly considering what Qingying had just said and whether he should go up.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and silently rejected the idea. No, it would be very embarrassing if he lost after going up there.
Before the King of Xuan could respond, Xiao Han, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up, "Qingying, go!"
Qingying was slightly taken aback after hearing this, blinked her eyes, and looked at Xiao Han with a face full of doubt, as if she was afraid that she had misheard.
He timidly asked to confirm, "Sir, are you asking me to go upstairs?"
Xiao Han nodded expressionlessly and said in a flat tone, "Well, so you won't complain when you go back that I didn't give you a chance to earn extra money. Now that you have the opportunity, whether you can get the bonus or not depends entirely on your own ability."
After listening, Long Chu also said to Qingying, "Go! I have high hopes for you. That girl is very strong. You can't fight her head-on. You have to find her weaknesses in the competition so that you can outsmart her."
Qingying swallowed hard, nodded slightly, and then leaped onto the arena.
After going on stage, he walked to the side, picked up a wooden stick, and casually made a flower-shaped stick.
He then walked steadily to his opponent, and the two stood facing each other, nodding slightly to each other. They then clasped their fists in greeting and began the formal match.
As Xiao Han's personal bodyguard, Qingying's martial arts skills were naturally quite good.
From the very beginning of the match, he displayed a fierce offensive, and when he fought his opponent, he did not hesitate and made quick and decisive moves.
The wooden stick flew up and down in his hands, attacking his unarmed opponent.
Although his opponent was also quite strong, the unarmed man was soon unable to withstand Qingying's rapid and fierce attacks.
It was clear that he was being overwhelmed by Qingying and was completely unable to fight back.
To avoid being hit on the head, he could only try his best to use his arms to block in front of him, taking every blow from Qingying's swing.
After the two had fought for more than ten rounds, Qingying seized the opportunity and suddenly swung her staff at the unarmed man.
The blow was powerful and extremely fast, leaving the opponent no time to dodge and causing them to fall to the ground.
Finally, the man forced himself to stand up, rubbing his sore arm, and admitted defeat.
Long Chuqing, Ziguang, and Qing Tong, who were sitting in the audience, watched the exciting duel on stage with great focus.
When they saw Qingying defeat the man so easily, they couldn't help but clap and cheer, their faces showing excitement.
At this moment, Yang Jing, who was sitting in the rest area, looked curiously in the direction from which the loud applause came after hearing the applause.
When he saw that there were several princes standing there, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what was happening.
He quickly stood up and slowly walked towards them.
When Yang Jing reached the group, he was about to bow and pay his respects.
Seeing this, Prince Rui smiled and raised his hand to indicate, "Young General, there is no need for such formalities. We were just taking a stroll today because we had nothing to do. We happened to pass by this place and couldn't help but stop and watch the lively scene."
Prince Qi and his entourage nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Yang Jing nodded knowingly and said with a humble expression, "Gentlemen, would you like to move forward and sit down to watch?"
"Young General, you go about your business, don't worry about us." Prince Qi waved his hand and replied cheerfully, "We can just stand here and look around. The view from here is pretty good, and besides, who knows! Maybe we'll even go up and try our luck later, and collect some prize money! Haha..." He then laughed heartily.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing quickly replied with a smile, "Fifth Master, you're joking."
"I'm not joking!" Prince Qi replied earnestly, "I've long heard of the young general's superb martial arts skills and extraordinary abilities, and I've always wanted to find an opportunity to spar with him. I would be honored if the young general would not hesitate to give me some pointers!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing quickly and humbly replied, "No, no, if Fifth Master wishes to spar with me, I will gladly oblige at any time."
Yang Jing exchanged pleasantries with Prince Rui and the others.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Qingying and Yang Yi had already begun a fierce competition.
After exchanging a few blows with Qingying, Yang Yi was secretly amazed. The man before her was not to be underestimated; his martial arts were far superior to those she had fought before.
Therefore, she dared not slack off in the slightest and immediately began to deal with it seriously.
Both men held wooden sticks in their hands, exchanging blows at a rapid pace. The afterimages of the sticks appeared around them, and the clanging sounds were incessant.
Xiao Han and the others below the stage, along with the onlookers, all held their breath and watched the exciting fight on stage intently.
Qingying only realized how incredibly strong this woman was when she actually fought Yang Yi!
If he hadn't poured his inner strength into the wooden stick, it probably would have broken long ago during such an intense fight.
Their fight was extremely intense, with neither giving an inch, and the audience below the stage was watching the competition intently.
King Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his chin, and said, "Qingying seems to be at a disadvantage! I didn't expect this girl to be so brave."
At this moment, King Qi was also watching the competition intently. After hearing King Xuan's words, he nodded slightly in agreement.
"Indeed, judging from the current situation, he has indeed fallen behind and is at a slight disadvantage. However, the competition is not over yet, so let's see if he can turn the tide later."
Standing to the side, Yang Jing looked at his younger sister, who was fighting hard on the stage, with pride and satisfaction in his eyes.
He smiled slightly: "My sister has been ambitious since she was a child. Her biggest wish is to learn a skill like my father so that she can protect our country in the future."
