The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Yun Yao stood on the ring, her opponent was a young guard. The guard was tall and strong, wearing the uniform of the guards of the palace, with a long sword on his waist, and the red tassel on the hilt fluttering gently in the wind. When the guard saw that Yun Yao was a woman, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. In this world where men are respected, women are mostly regarded as weak, not to mention that in this palace, the guards usually receive training to compete with opponents of the same sex. Facing a delicate woman like Yun Yao, he thought in his heart that this was just a competition that could be easily won.

As soon as the signal for the competition was given, the guard took the lead in launching the attack. He shouted loudly, kicked the ground with both feet, and rushed towards Yun Yao like an arrow. He waved the sword in his hand, and the sword body flashed cold light under the sunlight. The tip of the sword stabbed straight at Yun Yao at an extremely fast speed, bringing a whistling sound of wind. Everyone in the audience couldn't help but sweat for Yun Yao, and some timid women even closed their eyes, not daring to watch the bloody scene that might happen next.

Yun Yao was not in a hurry, her eyes were calm and composed. She had learned some self-defense skills in modern times. Although they were different from the martial arts in this world, the ability to react and control the body when facing danger was the same. Her eyes were fixed on the guard's sword, and her body dodged to the side quickly like a smart deer. Her movements were light and agile, and the guard's sword almost brushed the corner of her clothes and stabbed into nothing.

The guard was slightly surprised that his first strike missed, but he quickly adjusted his state and thrust out another sword. This strike was more powerful than the previous one. He seemed to want to end the battle quickly and not give Yun Yao any chance to breathe. Yun Yao still did not confront him head-on. She continued to dodge flexibly. Her steps were like dancing, sometimes retreating, sometimes turning sideways, and the guard's sword could never touch her body. The crowd below the stage began to exclaim in amazement. They did not expect that this usually unpopular princess would have such agile skills.

Under the constant attacks of the guard, Yun Yao gradually became familiar with his attack rhythm. She dodged while looking for opportunities to counterattack in the gaps between the guard's attacks. Her eyes were fixed on the guard's body, observing his every move, looking for his flaws. Suddenly, Yun Yao spotted a flaw. At the moment when the guard thrust out his sword and his body center of gravity shifted slightly forward, she turned sideways and cleverly avoided the sword. At the same time, she quickly raised her foot and kicked the guard's wrist. The kick was fast, accurate, and powerful.

The guard didn't expect Yun Yao to suddenly counterattack, and the speed and strength of this kick were beyond his expectations. He only felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the sword in his hand slipped out of his hand. The sword drew an arc in the air, and then fell on the ring with a "clang". The crowd below the stage suddenly exclaimed, they didn't expect the situation to change so drastically in an instant.

Yun Yao took a quick step forward and picked up the sword on the ground. Her movements were smooth and seamless, without any hesitation. She held the sword in her hand and approached the guard with a determined look. The guard had lost his weapon at this time, and a look of panic appeared on his face. He had never thought that a woman would take away his weapon, and he would be in such a passive situation.

Yun Yao held the long sword and quickly put it against the guard's neck. The cold blade pressed against the guard's skin, causing him to shudder. The whole process was neat and tidy, from Yun Yao dodging the guard's attack, to counterattacking and seizing the sword, to putting the sword against the guard's neck, it was just a matter of a split second. Everyone in the audience was stunned, their mouths opened wide, their eyes widened, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

In this world, women are usually seen as weak, and Yun Yao, as a princess, is considered by everyone to be a delicate person who is kept in seclusion. However, her performance on the ring today completely overturned everyone's view of her. Those who originally looked down on her were now filled with surprise and admiration. Some young masters looked at Yun Yao with admiration in their eyes. They did not expect that this beautiful princess could have such powerful skills.

Yun Yao's performance brought about some subtle changes in her status in the palace. The servants looked at her with a little more awe, and those who had talked about her behind her back shut up. Some maids began to talk about Yun Yao in private, and their attitude towards her became more respectful. Even the prince looked at her a few more times, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in his eyes, as if he was re-examining this princess who he had not paid much attention to before.

Yun Yao stood on the stage, holding a long sword against the guard's neck, and there was not much in her heart. She knew that this was just a small step for her in this world. In this world full of dangers and challenges, she needed to constantly improve her strength to truly gain a foothold. She raised her head slightly, glanced at the people below the stage, and then slowly put down the sword in her hand. She bowed slightly to the guard, indicating that this was just a competition and there was no malice. The guard also came back to his senses, he picked up his sword with a face full of shame, and hurried off the stage.

Yun Yao walked down the ring, her steps light and firm. She knew that her performance had attracted everyone's attention, but she was not proud of it. She knew that in this world, strength was the most important thing, and only by constantly improving her strength could she truly change her destiny. She returned to her seat and sat down quietly, as if it was not her who had just shined on the ring. Her eyes were still calm, and she was already thinking about the next training plan.

Dear readers, in this chapter, Yun Yao's performance in the ring is a small display of her strength. I want to use such a plot to show Yun Yao's growth and the potential she has. In this male-dominated world, Yun Yao, as a woman, faces more doubts and challenges. But with her wisdom, calmness and some skills she learned in modern times, she successfully showed her edge in the ring. This is not only a reflection of her personal strength, but also an important step for her to gradually find her foothold in this strange world. At the same time, this plot also foreshadows the development of the story later. As Yun Yao's reputation gradually rises, she will inevitably face more opportunities and challenges. How will she deal with it? I hope everyone can continue to pay attention to Yun Yao's story and follow her to explore and grow in this fantasy world.
