Chapter 109 Defending the Arena
Just as Lin Qiong was deep in thought.
The man, who also served as the host, raised his voice again, drawing the attention of the people in the discussion back to the ring.
"Ahem, everyone, please calm down, please calm down!"
"I believe everyone is very curious about how Miss Su Chang has grown from an unknown new recruit of the Cloud Cavalry to her current level in just a few days."
At this time.
The fox-woman who had always supported Yanqing shouted, "She must have used some improper means, such as bribery or other despicable acts!"
These words caused an uproar among those around them.
The audience members whispered among themselves, discussing whether this up-and-coming Cloud Cavalry recruit was really, as the fox-woman claimed, someone who had risen to power through improper means.
When Li Sushang heard these words, she frowned slightly, but she did not immediately refute them.
Because she knew that the more eager she was to prove herself at this time, the more likely she was to arouse suspicion.
and.
The man standing on the ring had a subtle smile on his lips, seemingly very satisfied with the current situation.
Just as the doubts from the audience were growing louder, the man slowly opened his mouth.
"Everyone, please calm down and listen to what I have to say!"
His loud and powerful voice instantly drowned out the murmurs of the audience.
Upon hearing his words, the crowd gradually quieted down.
The man smiled slightly and continued, "Since everyone has expressed doubts about Miss Su Chang's strength, I propose that we hold a challenge to defend the title on this arena."
"Miss Su Chang will be the defending champion and will accept the challenges from everyone present. Anyone who has doubts about her strength is welcome to come up on stage and give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers.
Exclamations of surprise, doubts, and discussions mingled together, creating a noisy sea of voices.
Hearing this, Lin Qiong, who was standing below the stage, couldn't help but secretly praise the man: "This guy is amazing! He first let the audience question Li Sushang, and then used those voices to stir up the emotions of the whole audience."
"When the audience's emotions reach their peak, then suggest a challenge to defend the title. The more people try to challenge Li Sushang with a skeptical attitude, the more likely they will be to do so."
"Once Li Sushang has defeated them all, she can not only completely dispel everyone's doubts about her, but also demonstrate her strength."
Lin Qiong silently analyzed the situation in his mind and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the man on the stage.
Upon hearing this, Li Sushang nodded in agreement.
"I accept the challenge!"
Upon seeing this, the audience below the stage applauded and cheered.
They eagerly awaited the start of this battle to defend their title, and even more so, they hoped that Li Sushang could prove everything with her strength.
However, at that moment...
A rough voice suddenly rang out from below the arena.
"I'll give it a try first!"
A burly man leaped into the air, a longsword gleaming with a cold light in his hand, and stood on the arena.
"Alright! The defending champion, Su Chang, has welcomed her first challenger!"
The man who was also the host flipped over and lightly leaped off the ring, landing in the spectator stands.
Only Li Sushang and the burly man remained, standing facing each other on the arena.
The burly man brandished his long-handled broadsword, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air. His muscles were taut, like a ferocious beast poised to pounce on its opponent at any moment.
In contrast, Li Sushang calmly placed her left hand behind her back and slowly raised the Xuanyuan sword with her right hand, the tip of the sword pointing diagonally towards the ground.
Her relaxed and composed posture made her look like a top-notch swordsmanship master.
Lin Qiong was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.
He never expected that Li Sushang could lift Xuanyuan with one hand so easily.
You should know that we met at the Qiongguan Formation a while ago.
She struggled to lift Xuanyuan with both hands, and even had to drag it on the ground when running.
The change is so dramatic that it is truly astonishing.
at the same time.
Seeing that both players were ready, the man in the stands announced loudly, "This competition is for the purpose of exchanging skills. We will stop when we have made a point, and any behavior that could harm the opponent is strictly prohibited."
"Anyone who violates the regulations will be handed over to the Yunqi Army for legal processing. Those with serious offenses will be sent to the prison as punishment."
"Then I declare the competition officially open!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the tense atmosphere on the stage instantly dissipated.
The burly man roared and charged at Li Sushang like an enraged bull.
The sharp, long-handled sword was wielded with great force in his hands, its cold gleam radiating outwards.
When the burly man approached Li Sushang, she remained motionless, still holding her sword behind her back, as if terrified.
But the burly man didn't care about any of that. He raised his longsword and slashed at Li Sushang.
At this critical moment.
Li Sushang's eyes suddenly sharpened.
She flashed and disappeared from the burly man's sight in an instant, as fast as a ghost, her speed astonishing.
It was accompanied by a loud "bang".
The burly man's broadsword slashed across the open ground where Li Sushang had been standing, raising a cloud of dust and even leaving a deep crack in the ground.
"No way? It's... over?"
The audience gasped in astonishment as they watched, their eyes wide with disbelief at what they were seeing.
Lin Qiong was also somewhat shocked; he hadn't expected the competition to end so quickly.
On the arena.
The burly man's eyes widened, and he froze in place, still in his chopping stance.
Li Sushang held the Xuanyuan sword firmly against his throat, and the sharpness emanating from the sword made the burly man swallow hard.
You lost.
A smug smile appeared on Li Sushang's face, a smile that also carried a hint of playfulness.
"This...I...you!"
The burly man, with a sword pressed against his throat, opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't utter a single harsh word.
He could only sigh helplessly, "Alas, I lost."
Seeing this, Li Sushang's lips curled into an even deeper smile.
She slowly sheathed the Xuanyuan Sword, then turned around and gave a thumbs-up to the audience below the arena.
In an instant.
The audience below the arena erupted in cheers and applause, which echoed throughout the central area of the Star Chariot Sea.
In this atmosphere, Li Sushang bowed to the audience below the ring once again, her movements humble and devoid of any victor's arrogance.
Her humble and composed attitude only increased everyone's goodwill towards her.
Then.
Li Sushang then faced off against several other challengers who came up on stage, but without exception, she defeated them instantly.
Such a performance amazed everyone present.
Both the audience and her opponents were impressed by Li Sushang's superb swordsmanship.
As time went on, the number of challengers gradually decreased until no one dared to go on stage to compete with Li Sushang anymore.
Those who had doubted Li Sushang's abilities all chose to shut their mouths after witnessing her power.
Seeing that no one had come up on stage for a long time, the man in the audience looked around and slowly asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge Miss Su Chang?"
Upon hearing this, the audience looked left and right, hoping that some brave person would dare to step onto the stage and fight Li Sushang.
however.
Time ticked by, and still no one dared to go on stage to take the challenge.
This caused the originally lively scene to fall into a brief silence.
Just when everyone thought the battle to defend the title was about to come to an end.
A slightly immature voice suddenly rang out from the back of the crowd, attracting everyone's attention.
"Yanqing is willing to give it a try!"
