Chapter 211 - 109: Can You Handle Such a Fierce Woman?

Chapter 211: Chapter 109: Can You Handle Such a Fierce Woman?

"Proceed."

Kan Luotang gestured for him to begin.

Below the stage.

Zhao Yong stared at Kan Luotang on the stage, clad in her white dress, his eyes dazed. His pale lips trembled, but he couldn’t utter a single sound.

He didn’t believe Kan Luotang could win nineteen matches in two hours.

So Zhao Ci had lost after all.

But Zhao Ci’s loss didn’t change the fact that he had lost as well.

In his book, *Zhao Yong’s Life Insights*, he could strictly adhere, or force himself to adhere, to anything written on its pages.

But now, he’d found a rule that was difficult to follow: ’Do not lose your composure over another man’s woman. The competition between mansions has no place for pure love.’

This problem was too difficult.

He didn’t know how to solve it.

Zhao Xie also gave a bitter, jealous smile, unsure of what to say.

Zhao Ci: "..."

’Two Stockholm syndrome patients, one mid-stage and one late-stage, currently diagnosing each other through silence.’

Nearby.

Zhao Qian chuckled. "Good thing I got put in solitary for fighting back then. I didn’t have to go into the deep mountains with them. This is terrifying."

Zhao Ci: "..."

The corner of Zhao Xie’s mouth twitched. "Don’t you worry! The lightning bolt you dodged back then will definitely strike your Prince Lie’s Mansion today."

Zhao Qian was unconcerned. "It’s just one lightning technique. How bad can it... Holy shit!"

BOOM!

A startling clap of thunder exploded.

On the stage, the sky full of fireballs scattered at the sound. Zhu Tian froze in place, and then Kan Luotang kicked him off the stage.

"I was lucky."

The crowd: "..."

They were baffled.

Among the thirty-some Mansion Officials, Zhu Tian was indeed one of the weaker ones, but he was by no means a total scrub!

Taken out with a single lightning strike and a kick?

Does that even make sense?

Zhao Qian: "Uh, this..."

That took less than three breaths, and she’s already taken one out. Don’t tell me she’s actually going to get nineteen consecutive wins in four hours?

Zhao Ci’s lips curled into a smile. He had known since their time in the Black Fog Space that Kan Luotang’s lightning technique was powerful. After all, even those at the Muscle and Bone Refining realm or higher would be paralyzed for a moment after a single hit.

Not to mention its incredibly high accuracy and the long duration of its effect.

A hard-CC with such a short cooldown.

In a group battle, it might be stretched thin.

But in a one-on-one, it was simply overpowered.

However, if she only had her lightning technique, its effectiveness would be greatly diminished against someone with a strong Flesh Soul.

"Next, from the Prince Shu’s Mansion, Xiang Liu!"

BOOM!

"Next, from the Prince Yan’s Mansion, Yang He!"

BOOM!

...

One lightning strike after another left the audience’s heads ringing.

The first few were, without exception, easy targets.

And without exception, they were all taken out with a single lightning strike and a kick.

The speed was so fast, the stamina consumption so low, it was simply outrageous.

Zhao Qian’s lips trembled. He lowered his voice and said, "Tenth Prince! Your fiancée is too fierce! You won’t be able to handle a woman that intense. You should break off the engagement right away, and get her out of the Tenth Prince’s Mansion while you’re at it. Otherwise, your future happiness is at stake!"

Zhao Ci’s lips curved. In truth, his relationship with Zhao Qian and his group wasn’t bad. They were mainly competitors, and besides, they were terrified of getting another bout of diarrhea, which was why they were so hostile toward him.

’But the guy himself isn’t half-bad, much more likable than Yongzi and Zhao Xie.’

He smiled and waved his hand. "It’s fine. I’m pretty fierce myself. I can handle her."

Zhao Qian slapped his thigh in frustration. "Right..."

He was genuinely panicking now.

At this rate, nineteen wins in four hours really wasn’t impossible!

Although the Heaven-Suspended Spider Silk wasn’t that appealing to him on its own, he’d heard the Gongsu Family could craft it into a grappling hook-like device. It would be amazing for scaling walls and gathering military intelligence.

To just lose it like this... he really couldn’t bear it!

’It won’t happen. It won’t happen.’

’The people just now didn’t have strong physiques; it makes sense they’d be restricted by the lightning technique. As long as someone has a Flesh Soul of the fourth grade or higher, they definitely won’t be paralyzed so pathetically. If they can just use their signature skills, there’s no way Kan Luotang can win so easily. If they wear her down match by match, she’s bound to lose eventually.’

On the high platform.

Zhao Huan stroked his beard and smiled, his face filled with gratification. "Kan Qing! Your Kan Family’s heritage is something even the Imperial Family can hardly aspire to. Look at these unworthy sons of mine. If they all had Luotang’s talent, why would I be so worried?"

Kan Tianji stroked his own beard, a hint of pride in his smile, but his words were modest. "Your Majesty is too kind. Every Prince under Your Majesty is talented, intelligent, and diligent. It is only because Your Majesty is burdened with the affairs of the state and has no spare time to personally guide them. Yet even so, each can stand on his own."

"In contrast, this old subject has only one granddaughter, Luotang. Even if her aptitude were dull, by watching over her and supervising her studies all day, she would eventually learn something of note. Compared to the efforts of the Princes, it is still far from enough."

The sovereign and his subject exchanged pleasantries, the atmosphere incredibly harmonious.

Meanwhile, on the Martial Arts Arena.

Kan Luotang had already finished picking off the weaker "soft persimmons" of the early rounds. It wasn’t that these people were complete scrubs, but rather that they hadn’t yet reached their power spikes. Plus, that lightning technique was just too vicious.

The Five Elements have many wondrous evolutions.

For example, Wood corresponds to Xun and Zhen of the Eight Trigrams—that is, Wind and Thunder.

Metal, for example, corresponds to the Heaven-Reflected Marsh, as well as the Vast Heavens.

Among them,

the one acknowledged as having the most ferocious offensive power is Zhen Thunder.

Lightning techniques are also one of the most difficult cultivation techniques to master. In the entire Great Yu, aside from the Kan Family, only the Ba Shu Zhuge Clan has dabbled in them.

With the suppression from her cultivation level and elemental attribute, combined with their unfamiliarity with lightning techniques, it was perfectly normal for them to be instantly defeated.

Zhao Yan was also a bit stunned by what he was seeing. After confirming another opponent was down, he finally announced the next victim... that is, the next person to be challenged.

"Next, from Prince Lie’s Mansion, Tan Yu!"

"Huh?"

Cries of shock and doubt rose from all around.

This one was no soft persimmon!
