Du Aya saw that Tobanya was once again pushing the decision back to her, so she didn’t decline anymore. First, she glanced at Qi Gaoda, then at Qi Weing, before smiling and saying, "My second brother has such a small build. If I beat him, I’d feel like I’m bullying him. I’d better go up against my eldest brother instead. At least he’s taller than , and if I win, it would feel more worthwhile."
Seeing Du Aya opt to challenge Qi Gaoda, Tobanya then said, "Then I’ll spar with Qi Weing."
As soon as Tobanya finished speaking, she saw Qi Weing from the other side taking his sword and stepping into the arena. Tobanya first glanced at ng Zhuqing not far away, signaling him to set his mind at ease, before taking her sword and stepping forward as well.
With Xiao Changyi’s guidance and instruction, Tobanya’s swordsmanship had advanced significantly. Previously, she couldn’t defeat ng Zhuqing, but now, ng Zhuqing couldn’t defeat her.
When ng Zhuqing saw that his wife’s swordsmanship had surpassed his, he privately asked Xiao Changyi to give him so pointers too. Seeing ng Zhuqing’s pleading expression, Xiao Changyi relented and even taught ng Zhuqing a set of sword techniques.
Now, as long as ng Zhuqing had ti, he’d practice that set of techniques under Xiao Changyi’s guidance.
His wife’s skills had grown imnsely, and he couldn’t afford to stagnate!
Tobanya entered the arena and first clasped her hands in salute to Qi Weing, saying courteously, "I apologize in advance," before drawing her sword to duel with Qi Weing.
Qi Weing’s swordsmanship was only slightly inferior to Xu Shangong’s. Xu Shangong had been defeated by Gong Juese back then, and now An Jing hoped Tobanya could defeat Qi Weing.
And Tobanya herself also hoped to defeat Qi Weing, so she gave it her all, holding nothing back.
Qi Weing thought Tobanya, being a Commandery Princess, might warrant so rcy. He intended to go easy on her so that she wouldn’t lose too miserably. However, as soon as Tobanya’s moves were unleashed, he imdiately straightened his deanor, not daring to show any leniency.
He was afraid that if he held back even a bit, he might lose.
As the two experts exchanged moves, the clashing of swords rang out incessantly. Sparks flew between Tobanya and Qi Weing’s blades, and the spectators were so absorbed that their blood boiled with excitent, completely forgetting this was just a sparring match.
Only when Tobanya gained a slight upper hand and successfully defeated Qi Weing did the onlookers snap back to reality, realizing this was a duel—and Qi Weing had lost.
Qi Weing actually lost...
The two individuals everyone believed could never lose were Qi Gaoda and Qi Weing. But now, Qi Weing had lost...
Even though they didn’t want to admit it, at this mont, they couldn’t deny how skilled the female soldiers were and dared not look down on them anymore.
The female soldiers truly hid extraordinary talent.
Now, everyone pinned their last shred of hope on Qi Gaoda, who hadn’t yet competed. Winning was now out of the question, but perhaps securing a draw was still possible. At least that way, they could maintain so dignity for their three military camps.
Our expectations really weren’t too high now, Vice General Qi...
All eyes turned to Qi Gaoda with earnest expressions.
Qi Gaoda paid no heed to their stares. He was currently troubled—he didn’t want to challenge his sworn sister. But now, only he and his sworn sister were left, and avoiding the duel wasn’t an option.
As soon as Qi Weing lost, he imdiately sheathed his sword and clasped his hands at Tobanya, saying, "This General concedes wholeheartedly!"
"Thank you for letting win," Tobanya replied politely and succinctly before stepping off the stage.
Then, Du Aya strode onto the stage boldly.
Qi Gaoda braced himself, his face flush, and stepped forward as well.
Yesterday, everyone saw Qi Gaoda’s face turn red; seeing it again today, they seed accustod to it and paid no mind.
