After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Near the martial arts training ground inside the manor, the old lady led the women to wait.

After Chen Futu and his entourage arrived, the old lady looked at the imposing and powerful military army and deliberately asked Liu Longyue, "Princess Beiwu, what do you think of our generals?"

Liu Longyue stared in astonishment at Guan Yu and the others, growing more and more horrified as a chill ran down her spine.

She had long heard that Chen Futu's generals were all capable of defeating ten thousand men, but she thought it was just hearsay. Only after seeing it with her own eyes today did she realize how terrifying it was.

Every general present exuded a strong killing intent, giving her the illusion of being looked down upon by a group of prehistoric beasts. The red-faced giant with narrowed eyes made her the most uneasy, as if he really would cut her down with a single blow.

"Reporting to Madam, the Northern Frontier is home to many fierce generals, which I have witnessed firsthand."

Hearing her say this, the old lady was immediately pleased and said to Chen Futu, "My son, today is only for testing, so don't let your people hurt any of the ladies."

"Don't worry, Mother, they will go easy on you."

Chen Futu waved his hand, and Dian Wei and Ma Chao immediately stepped forward.

In the pavilion opposite, Qin Liangyu, Li Xiuning, Luo Wushuang, Ge Fei, and Liu Longyue stood up, and even Mo Lan, who surprised Chen Futu the most, came out.

Liu Bowen and Zhang Liang couldn't help but frown.

The others are fine, they are all very strong. Mo Lan stood up, which clearly shows that she was unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to fight for a future for her family. It can be seen that although she seems gentle and virtuous, she is actually ambitious in her heart.

Chen Futu remained noncommittal, indicating that they could begin. In this battle, they would have to fight Dian Wei and Ma Chao one by one. Winning any one of them would count as a victory, but if they couldn't defeat any of them, they would lose the battle.

"Son, will you go on the field?"

The old lady asked with a smile.

Chen Futu said, "I do intend to stretch my muscles and bones, but let's wait and see."

"It would be even better if my son could do it himself."

The old lady was a skilled warrior in her day, and her friendship with the Prince of Zhenbei on the battlefield has become a legendary tale.

Now that Chen Futu is the successor to the Prince of Zhenbei, it would be a wonderful story if he were to personally take action.

The exam was about to begin, and Qin Liangyu was about to go first, but Chen Yuling grabbed her arm, saying, "Sister Qin, you're so strong, of course you should save the best for last."

Qin Liangyu hesitated for a moment before making a move.

The first to go was Luo Wushuang, who was defeated in less than five rounds against Dian Wei and Ma Chao.

This was only because Chen Futu had repeatedly warned them and deliberately saved face; otherwise, with Luo Wushuang's seventh-rank strength, he wouldn't have been able to withstand even one move.

Luo Wushuang slumped back into the pavilion, her head hanging low, looking utterly hopeless.

The old lady comforted her, "Shuang'er, don't be upset. Those two are both peerless warriors. You've already done a great job by lasting five moves."

“Yes, Madam…” Luo Wushuang said, looking at Qin Liangyu, “General, those two are too strong, please be careful.”

Qin Liangyu nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Next is Consort Ge, a ninth-rank official whose combat strength surpasses that of many fierce generals in the Northern Frontier. For a princess of a fallen kingdom to possess such strength is something to be proud of.

Because she was Chen Futu's personal bodyguard and a colleague of Dian Wei, Dian Wei held back against her and defeated her after twenty moves.

However, in order to mock Dian Wei, Ma Chao actually knocked Ge Fei off her horse in just three moves.

Dian Wei looked at Ge Fei, who was clutching her shoulder and staggering, and immediately glared at her angrily, "Horse, what do you mean!"

"Tch, you idiot."

"What did you say! Believe me or I'll beat you up!"

Dian Wei picked up his double halberds, ready to fight Ma Chao.

The generals were furious at the sight, and Chen Futu said with a dark face, "What are you two doing?"

Ma Chao clasped his hands and said, "My lord, this humble general reports that Dian Wei held back."

"I didn't!"

Dian Wei was furious.

Consort Ge is the Crown Prince's personal bodyguard, so she's his colleague. They'll be seeing each other all the time, so how could he possibly be so ruthless?

The horse has no sportsmanship and dares to report him!

"Shut up, everyone."

Chen Futu couldn't bear to look at them; these two were utterly shameful.

I should have let Cao Zhen and Gao Shun go.

Ge Fei didn't say anything. She bit her lip and staggered back to the pavilion, then lowered her head and remained silent.

Ma Chao's power made her feel like she was facing a god or demon, and she couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance. She had already exhausted all her strength to withstand three moves.

Dian Wei, on the other hand, was usually very easygoing and took good care of her.

Liu Longyue looked at Ge Fei with complicated emotions, secretly clenching her fists.

Ge Fei's strength is about the same as hers. If she were to fight, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand more than a few moves. The only way for her to win is through trickery and schemes.

Next up is Mo Lan.

Looking at the frail woman, Dian Wei and Ma Chao were at their wits' end.

How to fight this?

With just a little effort from the two of them, this woman would probably be bedridden for ten days to half a month.

Chen Futu did not stop them, but instead stood by and watched indifferently.

The battle was unexpected. Once Mo Lan mounted her horse, she seemed like a completely different person, attacking like a madwoman without any regard for defense.

Dian Wei was beaten so badly that he could only parry.

The main problem was that she was too weak; she would die if touched and be injured if grazed. Moreover, as the lord's concubine, she could not be captured alive and could only be passively beaten.

Finally, Mo Lan launched dozens of sword attacks in succession, and Dian Wei defended against them all. When she was exhausted, Dian Wei gritted his teeth and carefully used his double halberds to deflect her swords.

The entire venue was silent.

Liu Bowen said to Zhang Liang, "Dian Hanhan still knows his limits."

Zhang Liang wholeheartedly agreed.

This is not a battle, but a discussion of human relationships and social interactions.

Ma Chao complained to Dian Wei, "What a fool."

"Come if you can."

"Come on, come on!"

Ma Chao spurred his horse forward and, in a single exchange, used the other end of his spear to press down on Mo Lan's sword, sending her and her sword flying off her horse. Qin Liangyu reacted quickly and caught Mo Lan.

Mo Lan leaned against her chest, her pretty face deathly pale, her hands trembling.

Chen Futu frowned slightly upon seeing this.

Liu Bowen and the others were secretly astonished; Ma Chao had absolutely no idea what human relationships or social etiquette were.

Although that shot was delivered with restraint, it was still too ruthless. If Mo Lan hadn't possessed some martial arts skills, she would probably have been seriously injured.

In fact, the results of the battle between Dian Wei and Ma Chao against Mo Lan reveal their personalities.

Dian Wei was a burly, unkempt man, but he was very meticulous and knew how much effort to put in for different people. In contrast, Ma Chao was a straightforward man, or as the prince would say, a rigid straight man who didn't know how to adapt.

Of course, Chen Futu had nothing to say about this result.

As a general, Ma Chao only needed to strictly follow the prince's orders, while Dian Wei, as the prince's personal guard, had many more things to consider.

Now only Qin Liangyu and Liu Longyue remain.

Qin Liangyu stood up and asked, "Princess Beiwu, shall we go first?"

"General Qin, please go first." Liu Longyue smiled radiantly.

She was very clever. Qin Liangyu's strength was undeniable; she was certain that she could fight the two peerless generals to a standstill. After exhausting the two generals' strength, it would be her turn to last longer.
