As soon as Wanyan Ziyue finished speaking, the Dragonwu Country's camp was in an uproar.
"Young Master Zhou, go ahead. It's fine even if you lose."
"That's right. We can't let others look down on us."
"If there's no other way, let Senior Brother Song go. His strength is second only to Young Master Zhou and slightly stronger than Young Master Murong …"
"But Senior Brother Song isn't good at fist techniques. I'm afraid the result will be the same …"
The group of people argued fiercely. Even Tang Yuewu was anxious.
"Zhou Shaoyu has already fought once. If he goes again, wouldn't others laugh at our Dragonwu Country for not having anyone capable?"
At this moment, Tang Zhenghe spoke up. Zhou Shaoyu heaved a sigh of relief.
He didn't care about the prestige of the Dragonwu Country. He only cared about his reputation. Anyway, he had already won once today. Even if he lost, he would still be the most outstanding person.
"This should be City Lord Tang, right?" Wanyan Ziyue smiled.
"Indeed."
"Since City Lord Tang said so, there should be a better candidate. I wonder who it is?" Wanyan Ziyue asked curiously.
Tang Zhenghe did not speak. He merely smiled.
"It seems that City Lord Tang doesn't have a good candidate. In that case, we have won the second round."
"The rising star of the Dragonwu Country is only so-so." After saying that, Huang Wei turned and walked towards the colorful carriage.
"Everyone, the rising star of the Dragonwu Country has been defeated. He is far inferior to the youths of our Nanman Country. This means that their previous generation is also declining. Conquering the border city is just around the corner," Wanyan Ziyue shouted to the black-armored warriors behind her.
"The Nanman Country will win!"
The deafening voice was like thunder. The soldiers of the Dragonwu Country retreated step by step as their morale began to decline.
Wan Bugui was extremely anxious when he saw this scene. He knew very well that the youths represented the hope of the Dragonwu Country's future. If they were defeated, it would definitely give people the feeling that the Dragonwu Country had no future. Moreover, they were defeated in a confrontation between two armies.
Such a defeat might seem like no one died, but it would greatly reduce the morale of the entire Dragonwu Country army at the border.
"What do we do? What do we do, Zhou Yang …" Tang Yuewu anxiously tugged at Zhou Yang's sleeve.
Zhou Yang smiled. This was clearly Wanyan Ziyue's objective. She wanted to use the retreat as bait to get Wan Bugui to agree to their duel. Then, they would gather their advantage to defeat the rising star of the Dragonwu Nation, greatly dampening the morale of the Dragonwu Nation. At the same time, it would also boost the morale of the Nanman Kingdom's soldiers.
She was a very smart woman.
"Do you have any more Xuanhua powder?"
Zhou Yang suddenly looked at Tang Yuewu and said.
Tang Yuewu was startled. She scratched her head in confusion. She looked adorable and anxious as she stupidly said, "There is more."
"My wound might split open later. Remember to apply some on me then."
With that, Zhou Yang walked towards the colorful chariot under Tang Yuewu's puzzled gaze. He didn't say a word throughout the entire process and only listened quietly to the shouts of the Nanman Kingdom warriors.
"What is he doing? He can't be thinking of defecting, right?"
"Could it be that he wants to see under Wanyan Ziyue's skirt?"
"Trash! What a disgrace! How can there be such a person in our Draconic Country?"
Naturally, the Dragonwu Country's side noticed Zhou Yang's actions and immediately started cursing.
At this moment, Wanyan Ziyue, who was encouraging the army's morale, also noticed Zhou Yang. She immediately pulled her skirt and frowned. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Zhou Yang smiled and playfully said, "Third Princess, please continue with your performance. I'll wait for you."
"C … performance …"
Wanyan Ziyue was startled. She then waved her hand and the drumming and chanting suddenly stopped.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Zhou Yang, Zhou Clan's Zhou Yang!" Zhou Yang cupped his hands and said.
"It's you …"
A delicate shout did not come from Wanyan Ziyue, but from the Nanman Kingdom's army in the distance. A girl wearing a black cloak and tight-fitting silver battle armor flew over.
"Seventh Sister, what are you doing here? Stand down," Wanyan Ziyue said coldly.
"Third Sister, it's him. He's the one who humiliated me on Turtle Back Mountain. I want to fight him."
The newcomer was no stranger. It was the Arrow Astral Soul possessor, Jing 'er, whom Zhou Yang had met on Turtle Back Mountain.
However, what Zhou Yang didn't expect was that Jing 'er was also a princess.
"So you're talking about him."
Wanyan Ziyue waved her hand, gesturing for Jing 'er to stand down. She then looked at Zhou Yang. "You said I'm performing. What am I performing?"
Zhou Yang smiled and didn't pay attention to Jing 'er's words. He only said, "You said that the rising star of our Dragonwu Country is only so-so. Then let me ask you, do you dare to let your Huang Wei have a fair fight with us instead of just using fist techniques?"
"Is there a difference?" Wanyan Ziyue said proudly.
"Of course there is." Zhou Yang glanced at Huang Wei and said, "You used the retreat as bait to get us to agree to your request for a duel. This is a brilliant move. Because we really hope that you will retreat, the method of the duel will naturally be decided by you. However, you played to your strengths and avoided your weaknesses, attempting to use such a false victory to boost the army's morale."
"False victory? A win is a win and a loss is a loss. How is this a false victory? "Wanyan Ziyue sneered.
Zhou Yang's expression was somewhat sarcastic. "You let Lie Wu compete with Zhou Shaoyu in the beginning. His value is lower than Zhou Shaoyu's, so it's only natural that he loses. This is also within your expectations. Your goal is to make him unable to fight in the subsequent duels. Then, you let your so-called guard challenge us with fist techniques."
"You clearly know that none of us is good at fist techniques. The result is self-evident. You took this opportunity to belittle us and boost the morale of your army. Let me ask you, if it were a battle between two sides, could it be that the soldiers of our Dragonwu Country can only use fist techniques? If this isn't a false victory, then what is? "
In just a few short sentences, the rising stars came to a sudden realization. They began to scold one after another.
"That's right. If you have the ability, compete with us in sword techniques."
"I almost fell for your trap."
"How sinister. So your goal isn't to have a duel, but to take this opportunity to lower our morale and prepare for your attack."
The rising stars, who came to their senses, reignited their fighting spirit once again. The soldiers at the back also began to reveal angry looks.
"This woman is not simple. Fortunately, Zhou Yang saw through her goal." Tang Zhenghe touched his one-inch beard and said.
"Although we have long seen through it, this is their decisive battle after all. If we were to say anything, it would obviously have no effect. Instead, it would make people feel that there is no one in our younger generation." Xiao Lin also nodded.
"Although Zhou Yang saw through it, this can only prevent us from being affected. It's far from enough to take this opportunity to damage the morale of the Nanman Kingdom's army." After Tang Zhenghe finished speaking, he turned to look at Wan Bugui. He saw that Wan Bugui's face was green and purple, looking very ugly. He could not help but laugh out loud.
"Zhou Yang is indeed Zhou Yang. In terms of wisdom, you are better than them. Even if what you said is right, have you ever thought about why we want to compete with you in fist techniques?" Wanyan Ziyue's words made both sides quiet down again.
