Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The audience was stunned and began to discuss among themselves.

They used long spears.

Controlling the force of a spear is inherently more difficult than with a sword or saber.

Even with a sword, it would be impossible to accurately cut through eight out of ten layers of such a thin, gossamer-thin gauze.

Not to mention, these ten layers of light gauze are stacked together without any gaps in between.

Such a contest is something absolutely no one in the world can achieve.

Suddenly, everyone understood.

Chu Yueli's competition, though called a martial arts contest, wasn't really one. But it was, in fact, a contest of spear skills.

Since it's impossible for her anyway, it makes no difference to the Third Prince.

If no one can do it, then even if it's a draw, it doesn't count as a loss.

A draw is a respectable thing.

"Extremely cunning!" Tuoba Yi probably thought of this too, and said angrily, "Fine! This prince will make you admit defeat wholeheartedly!"

Want to tie with him? This little brat, she's dreaming!

He looked at Andelu, his eyes flashing with cold light.

An Delu picked up one of the stacks of thin gauze and held it up, somewhat trembling: "Third Prince, this... please take care of this old servant."

If that shot comes, I'm afraid the veil will be gone, and he'll be gone too.

No sooner had An Delu finished speaking than a flash of silver light appeared before his eyes.

An Delu was so frightened he almost fell over. Looking again, he saw that many of the thin gauze sheets in his hand had been pierced and split in two.

An Delu counted them, and finally, holding the only remaining piece, he shouted, "The Third Prince has pierced through nine layers!"

Tuoba Yi was somewhat helpless. This gun was more than capable of killing and fighting, but using it to cut through thin gauze was truly a challenge.

Where can you find such precise force?

However, nine floors is only one more floor than the eight floors Chu Yueli requested.

But looking at Chu Yueli, either she can't cut through a single layer, or she can cut through the whole thing. The result is obvious, and there's no need to compare.

The audience felt a sense of helplessness.

It seems unlikely that Chu Yueli will be able to achieve a draw against the Third Prince of Dongzhou.

At this moment, Chu Yueli personally walked down from the stage and looked at Chu Xiaohe: "Brother, may I borrow the Black Gold Spear?"

Chu Xiaohe dared not hesitate. He immediately handed her the black gold spear, but he was also full of worry.

However, not having to confront the Third Prince head-on is already the best outcome.

Losing is losing, it's not shameful to lose to the Third Prince.

Chu Yueli returned to the stage with the spear, looked at An Delu, and smiled, "Eunuch An, thank you for your trouble."

An Delu was truly panicked. This little brat, she doesn't know martial arts but still acts recklessly. Who knows if the spear will land on the veil or on him?

He was trembling.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yi couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that Eunuch An doesn't have much confidence in Miss Li's marksmanship. How about I, the prince, do it for you?"

He took the stack of gauze from Andro's hand.

Andro breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped aside.

The emperor below the stage was still very worried and couldn't help but remind him, "Ali, be careful not to hurt the Third Prince."

The Third Prince is an honored guest; if he were to be injured by carelessness, it could damage the harmony between the two countries.

With war raging outside, having one more ally is always better than having one more enemy.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Ali is weak and powerless; how could he possibly harm the Third Prince?"

She looked at Tuoba Yi again, her smile deepening: "Third Prince, thank you for your trouble."

"Follow..."

Tuoba Yi's face darkened.

Before he could finish speaking, that brat had already fired a shot, piercing the fold of gauze in his hand with a whoosh!

So casual, so casual, it's like playing house!
