Chapter 151 Competition
Perhaps it was because he had been staying at home every day since returning to the capital, with nothing to do, that he was extremely bored and annoyed!
Today, she finally has a rare opportunity to get out and stretch her muscles, so she can show off her skills to the fullest!
Yang Yi was wearing a black and red striped dress with fitted sleeves and her hair was styled in a neat high ponytail.
She has a rather heroic appearance, with three-dimensional and striking features, and a touch of gentleness amidst her heroic spirit.
At seventeen or eighteen years old, she was dashing and exuded a confident and composed aura.
Yang Jing looked very similar to her. Today he was dressed in black. He was tall with handsome features and a pair of resolute eyes that revealed an irresistible sharpness.
His face bore the marks of years spent on the frontier, sculpting unparalleled fortitude and heroic spirit, exuding the youthful vigor of a young general and an aura of quiet authority.
General Yang and his family lived on the border for many years, but would stay there for a period of time when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties.
Yang Yi returned to the capital with General Yang in the middle of the year, but did not accompany the general to the border afterwards.
Yang Jing had only returned to the capital half a month ago, and he would also be leaving the capital to continue his journey to the border.
Today, his younger sister suddenly got the idea to hold a martial arts competition, so he agreed to go with her to the scene to cheer her on.
His main thought was to see if he could discover some skilled martial artists in today's competition and recruit them to his cause.
Those who are willing can join the army with him and then go with him to the border to defend the country and make contributions.
As soon as the competition started, everyone gathered around, curiously watching what was happening.
When they learned that the challenger was a young woman, they initially didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a children's game and didn't pay her any attention.
However, after witnessing Yang Yi's fierce moves and agile skills, the disdainful and scornful voices fell silent, and they all shut their mouths and adopted a more respectful attitude.
So far, many people have challenged Yang Yi, and many of them have been able to withstand fifty of her moves and successfully receive twenty taels of silver.
Among them, three others defeated her with their superior martial arts skills and successfully received a reward of five hundred taels of silver.
Unfortunately, they were defeated when they challenged Yang Jing, but for them, getting five hundred taels was already quite good.
Perhaps the truly top-level players have no interest in such trivial competitions and prizes!
At this point, the match had ended. After a fierce contest, the man who ultimately won the match could directly challenge Yang Yi. He had already won two consecutive matches before this.
The contestant who won three consecutive matches could take a short break. After drinking a glass of water, he calmly stepped back into the ring to challenge Yang Yi.
Seeing that the challenger had returned to the stage, Yang Yi walked steadily to the opposite side of him, clapped her hands and said, "Congratulations, you should take a break for a while."
The man, holding a wooden stick, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you, but no need, let's begin!"
"Okay," Yang Yi replied cheerfully.
She also took a wooden stick, and the two humbly clasped their hands in a gesture of respect to each other.
The two then began to fight, each wielding one of their wooden sticks.
Yang Yi made her move quickly; her wooden stick swung rapidly, leaving behind a series of arcing afterimages.
At first, the man could barely keep up, but after a few moves, he began to lose his composure.
He couldn't help but marvel inwardly. Fighting her was nothing like dealing with the previous three. He was already struggling to defend himself and had no chance to retaliate.
"This girl is quite skilled, and she's very strong," Long Chuqing said to Xiao Han beside her, watching the match with great interest. "It's obvious that she held back when she fought that man; she didn't use her full strength."
"This is Yang Yi, the daughter of General Yang of our dynasty. She and her brother Yang Jing have been incredibly strong since childhood. They have been by the General's side for many years and have learned excellent martial arts skills."
"I see. She's quite an outstanding girl. Oh, by the way, I wonder if Qingshan is here today? Why don't we invite him to spar with her? That kid is quite strong." She still remembered her last match with Qingshan and how her wrist had gone numb from the shock.
Xiao Han raised an eyebrow: "He didn't come today. He should have been on duty last night and is probably resting now! But he is indeed very strong. Among the secret guards, his martial arts skills are among the top five."
Upon hearing this, she turned to look at Qingying behind her and asked with interest, "Qingying, why don't you go up and have a match? Maybe you can earn some extra money."
Qingying glanced at Xiao Han first, then scratched her nose. "Miss Long, I'm on duty! I can't take on private jobs."
While the three of them were talking, the intense competition on the field had already gone through more than thirty rounds.
It was clear that the man was exhausted and his movements were becoming sluggish, while Yang Yi was fighting harder and harder, showing no signs of fatigue.
The man continued to bravely parry Yang Yi's attacks. After another dozen or so moves, Yang Yi seized the opportunity and delivered a flying kick to the man.
Upon seeing this, the man quickly raised the wooden stick to his chest in an attempt to defend himself.
The wooden stick snapped under the force of the kick, and with a crisp "crack," the flying kick landed squarely on his body.
The man was kicked straight away and eventually fell off the stage, thus deciding the outcome of the match.
However, he has successfully withstood fifty moves, so he can earn twenty taels of silver.
The crowd helped him up. After standing up, he rubbed his stomach, which had been kicked, and dusted himself off. He then slowly walked back onto the stage, clasped his hands in greeting to Yang Yi, and a servant brought him some silver.
Each challenger who could withstand fifty moves would receive a slip of paper from their servants when they collected their silver.
The above text was written by Yang Jing himself, and it contains words about recruiting ambitious people.
Anyone who wants to follow him can register next to the arena, or go home and think it over before going to the general's mansion to find him.
After Yang Yi and the man stepped down, two more men stepped onto the stage. One chose to use a wooden stick, while the other chose to fight his opponent bare-handed.
After two intense matches, the unarmed man won both games.
He stood tall and straight on the stage, hands behind his back, his face radiating confidence, his sharp eyes fixed on the audience below, waiting for the next person to come up and challenge him.
However, he waited on stage for quite a while but did not see any other opponents come up.
This makes one wonder if everyone was stunned by the scene of him fighting bare-handed just now!
Just then, Yang Yi came to the front of the stage. She first looked around and then looked at the crowd below the stage.
