Mu Tuo was also from the Military Camp, but he was in charge of manding the rear. He was big and burly, easily weighing more than two hundred and fifty taels. With his dark skin and extremely ugly features, Dashun sending someone like him clearly meant they were sore losers after the battle, ing here to provoke.
Once Mu Tuo stepped up, the situation immediately became difficult to control. His attacks were particularly ruthless—everyone who practiced with him ended up being beaten severely. When the onlookers started to protest, he just claimed he had too much strength and couldn’t hold back.
These were the young masters from Dajin’s noble families, after all.
After another person was kicked off the stage by Mu Tuo, Mu Tuo stood arrogantly on the platform and shouted, “Who’s next?”
The young masters below initially did not really intend to rank in the top ten and marry Lu Jianxi; many came just for fun. But with Mu Tuo being so hostile on stage, many of them grew timid. Going up meant a certain beating, yet not stepping forward, what would bee of Dajin’s face?
But whether they stepped up or not, they couldn’t beat him.
Seeing the despicable state of those noble sons, Lu Jianxi got angry. She no longer cared about securing a spot in the top ten; she decided to go up and bring Mu Tuo down first, swiftly leaping onto the stage.
Mu Tuo, seeing Lu Jianxi dressed as a man, couldn’t help but ask, “And who might you be?”
Lu Jianxi let down her hair, then tied it up again.
In this era, people judged gender by the hair—tied up was male, down was female.
Mu Tuo, looking at Lu Jianxi and speaking fluently in Dajin’s language, said, “Why, it’s a girl?”
Lu Jianxi responded coldly, “I am Lu Jianxi!”
“Oh, so it’s you. Hey, you’re quite pretty. I’m Mu Tuo, the second son of Dashun’s King Anding. If I use your terms, I am a prince,” Mu Tuo said with a smile.
“I’ve seen the prince.”
“No need for formalities. But you rushing up here—is it because you found my bravery irresistible and fell for me at first sight, so you came up early to greet me?” Mu Tuo said with a silly grin, then added, “I’m quite pleased with you. Rest assured, I will definitely strive to take you back to Dashun as my bride.”
Lu Jianxi didn’t get angry, but smiled again, “Alright then, if you win against me, we can talk!”
The crowd below instantly stirred. They hadn’t expected Lu Jianxi to make a move so quickly.
But it was only like this that more noble sons could avoid being knocked down by Mu Tuo.
No sooner said than done, the two on the stage sprang into action immediately.
Mu Tuo was tall and well-built, with a solid foundation, only somewhat lacking in agility. Although Lu Jianxi was nimble with high agility, she was quite weaker pared to Mu Tuo. Both fists and kicks seemed like cotton against stone; Mu Tuo’s muscles were too hard, and hitting him would only result in injuring herself.
After fighting for half an hour, Lu Jianxi, who had initially been gaining the upper hand, gradually started to tire. But that was when Mu Tuo finally exerted his strength. As Lu Jianxi kicked towards him again, he accurately grabbed her foot, and in one move, took off her shoe.
Although he did not throw Lu Jianxi off the stage, he raised the shoe high, as though lifting a trophy, “I win, haha, anyone else? If not, then General Lu is
