Chapter 110 Hidden Weapons Injure People
On August 13th of the ninth year of the Purple Star Dynasty, the selection of the 'Great General of Awe' was held.
Today's competition has sixty-four participants remaining. These sixty-four individuals have all fought their way through a thousand competitors; their abilities far surpass those of one in a hundred.
Li Shuchen was somewhat worried.
Liang Yuying entered the stage holding a sword.
The opponent will be determined by drawing lots.
Li Shuchen kept her eyes glued to the field; with fewer people around, she could see things more clearly.
Nervous as Liang Yuying entered her first match, the round of 64 to 32.
The other person was a young woman, dressed in blue with a sword at her waist, clearly dressed as a martial arts practitioner.
The girl in green used her light-footed skill to leap onto the arena, landing steadily. Her beautiful hair fluttered in the breeze, and she held a silver sword in her hand. Standing gracefully on the arena, she won cheers from the crowd.
Li Shuchen was also envious; the girl's lightness skill was quite good.
I felt a little relieved; girls are gentle, and neither of us will be seriously hurt.
After exchanging greetings, the two girls changed their demeanor, transforming from friendly and cordial to aggressive and fierce.
However, the duel ended politely, with both sides showing great courtesy.
Today's match lasted much longer than yesterday's.
After three hundred rounds, the girl in green was knocked off the stage by Liang Yuying.
Liang Yuying won this match.
Li Shuchen jumped up excitedly and said, "Yuying is awesome, you won again!"
I happily went to pick up Liang Yuying and take her back to the inn for lunch.
Li Shuchen led Liang Yuying through the back door of the inn, catching a glimpse of Aunt Wang, Wang Shuang'er, and Chu Xia bustling about in the kitchen.
I was puzzled. Although I'm usually busy, wasn't today a bit too busy?
Cook Wang, who usually hates the heat, didn't add any more ice to the pot, even though the ice had almost melted.
Wang Shuang'er usually loved wearing hair ornaments that dangled beautifully beside her ears, but today she didn't have any.
A steady little girl in early summer, now walks so fast she almost floats, and nearly bumped into a shopping basket.
Something's wrong, something's really wrong.
Li Shuchen went into the kitchen, adding ice as she asked...
"Aunt Wang, why are you so busy today?"
Aunt Wang laughed heartily and replied, "Miss, you don't know, a lot of out-of-town guests suddenly arrived at the inn. We found out they came to watch the competition."
Aunt Zhang, passing by, chimed in, "Indeed, all the guest rooms are full. Everyone's waiting to see 'General Shock' tomorrow."
Li Shuchen nodded: "I see."
Turning around, Li Shuchen pulled Liang Yuying upstairs. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw the living room was packed with guests. Reaching the stairwell, Li Shuchen nudged Liang Yuying with his elbow and whispered...
"You've intimidated the Great General; everyone's come to see you!"
Liang Yuying tapped Li Shuchen on the forehead and replied affectionately, "Naughty."
After the two finished their meal and rested for a while in the Sanbao Hall, it was time for the afternoon competition.
Li Shuchen didn't fall asleep this time; he accompanied Liang Yuying to the training ground.
Still worried, he added, "It's the last match, so be careful and attentive."
Liang Yuying: "I understand."
The final match, the round of 32 to 16
Liang Yuying was facing a young man dressed in silver. The young man, wielding a long spear, performed a backflip and landed on the ring.
Looking at Liang Yuying's provocative expression
The man in silver smirked and said, "Let's do it."
Liang Yuying didn't waste any words with him, raised her sword, and aimed straight for the silver-clad man's forehead.
A silver-clad man greeted them with a long spear.
After several dozen rounds of fighting, the man gradually found himself at a disadvantage.
Liang Yuying kept suppressing his attack
Seeing this, Li Shuchen felt incredibly satisfied. "Tch, you little brat, trying to act tough? You looked down on my Yuying, but she beat you up!"
If you're good at cooking, practice more.
Li Shuchen was extremely pleased with himself.
Liang Yuying suddenly staggered backward, clutching her left shoulder.
The man in silver seized the opportunity to attack with a gun, and Liang Yuying could only defend.
Li Shuchen's face instantly turned cold. What happened? The man clearly didn't touch Yu Ying's left shoulder, so how did she get injured?
The situation on the field suddenly changed, and the people off the field started chattering.
This made Li Shuchen extremely anxious.
She had no choice but to shout.
"Yuying is the best! Yuying is the most amazing!"
He kept shouting and shouting until he was covered in sweat but didn't stop.
The silver-clad man grew increasingly confident with each fight, driving Liang Yuying to the edge of the ring and seemingly about to force her off the stage.
Liang Yuying suddenly snatched the gun from the man's hand.
The man was stunned for a moment
Liang Yuying quickly switched the two positions, then kicked the man off the stage.
The man was still completely bewildered when he got off the stage, his eyes filled with disbelief. How could he have lost?
Judge: "Liang Yuying wins."
As soon as Li Shuchen saw that the competition was over, he sprinted into the training ground and quickly helped Liang Yuying.
There was already a lot of blood seeping from her left shoulder, but it wasn't very noticeable because Liang Yuying was dressed in black.
Seeing that the situation was settled, the man in silver glared at Liang Yuying and turned to leave.
Liang Yuying: "Wait a minute."
He then turned to the judge and said, "Your Honor, he used a hidden weapon on me."
Unexpectedly, the man in silver showed no fear upon hearing this, calmly replying, "Slander requires evidence."
Liang Yuying didn't even glance at him before saying, "The hidden weapon is with me."
After saying that, he took something out of his waist and then opened his palm to show it to the person.
A black, bloodstained, three-edged dart lay quietly in Liang Yuying's right palm.
Li Shuchen gasped, as did the people in the audience, and then they started chattering.
"He actually used a hidden weapon! How shameless!"
"He's a grown man, but he has absolutely no sense of responsibility."
"I think he's just incompetent, which is why he resorted to using a hidden weapon to injure a young girl."
Li Shuchen was pleased to hear what the crowd was discussing and said what she wanted to say.
The man in silver was dumbfounded. Wasn't it said that the hidden weapon would disappear without a trace after it was used? How come it's still here?
Therefore, he had no choice but to deny it to the death.
The man in silver: "It's not mine, I don't have this."
Crowd: "How could it not be yours? It was you who used this hidden weapon that caused this girl to suddenly clutch her shoulder."
"If it's not yours, how can it be ours? That's ridiculous."
The man in silver gritted his teeth and said, "She's slandering me. I could never have such an item."
Li Shuchen retorted directly, "Heh, do I need to slander you? You used a hidden weapon, and I still won."
It's truly lamentable that you, a grown man, dare to do something but not admit it.
You're worse than a rat crossing the street.
The man in silver pointed at Li Shuchen, trembling, and said, "You, you, who are you to dare insult me?"
Li Shuchen didn't tolerate it: "So what if I curse you? You think you're right for using hidden weapons? If you can't beat them, just admit defeat. Using such dirty and despicable methods is shameful."
The man in silver, his face flushed with anger, roared, "I didn't use you!"
Li Shuchen also roared, "It won't work on anyone!"
Judge: "Alright, stop arguing, the verdict is in."
He then looked at the man in silver and said, "Come with me."
The man in silver turned pale instantly, knelt down, and pleaded desperately, "My lord, I was wrong, my lord, please spare me!"
The judge ignored him completely and coldly said, "Take him away."
Judge: "Miss Liang has suffered. We will send someone to inform her of the outcome of this matter."
Liang Yuying: "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
Judge: "Take care, Miss Liang."
