Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Challenge Wen Xiaowei

"Her strength is indeed very powerful, and she hasn’t even exerted herself up till now, if you meet someone like her in the ring, it really wouldn’t be easy to say!"

Wang Hao secretly speculated and felt that Shangguan Wan’er was probably on par with Wen Xiaowei.

"Then I’ll go up now and challenge her, trying to force her to use her full strength. You must help me find her weakness; otherwise, how can I defeat her!"

Wen Xiaowei looked somewhat anxious, saying this as she was about to jump into the ring.

But Wang Hao pulled her back and then said,

"She has already fought five consecutive matches, and her physical stamina must have depleted too much. Even if you happen to win today, it wouldn’t prove anything."

"Moreover, since you’re holding a friendly match today, I feel she might not use her full strength even if she admits defeat."

"Then what should I do?"

Wen Xiaowei was already feeling extremely anxious because the other challengers couldn’t force Shangguan Wan’er to exert her full strength.

"Forget it!" freēwebnovel.com

Wang Hao whispered in Wen Xiaowei’s ear,

"Let’s go back first and think if there’s another way!"

They had watched for quite a while but hadn’t discerned anything significant, so Wang Hao thought it was better not to alarm the snake.

The last thing he wanted was to not understand his opponent’s capabilities, while inadvertently revealing all his own tricks to them.

But Wen Xiaowei still wasn’t willing to let it go and didn’t want to leave just like that.

"Be good, listen to me!"

Seeing that Wen Xiaowei still didn’t want to leave and seemed a bit impatient, Wang Hao forcefully pulled her and started to walk out.

But just then, Shangguan Yu gave a meaningful glance to Shangguan Wan’er who was on the ring.

Shangguan Wan’er immediately bowed with her fists towards Wen Xiaowei and said,

"I want to challenge Wen Xiaowei!"

Wang Hao suddenly stiffened, thinking that there was no avoiding it now; there was no other option but to accept the challenge.

Originally, Wang Hao didn’t want Wen Xiaowei to challenge Shangguan Wan’er so soon mainly because he hadn’t figured out the extent of Shangguan Wan’er’s abilities yet and was worried it might backfire.

But now that Shangguan Wan’er had just challenged five people in a row and obviously became the center of attention, if Wen Xiaowei refused to fight at this moment,

everyone would think that Wen Xiaowei was scared of Shangguan Wan’er. If they met again in an official match later on, she would be at a psychological disadvantage.

Just as Wang Hao had just turned around, he didn’t expect Wen Xiaowei had already jumped onto the ring.

Wang Hao couldn’t help but shake his head; this girl was still too impulsive. He wanted to brief her on some things before she fought, but she was already eagerly up on the ring.

If this were a real match, this could lead to a huge disadvantage.

Fortunately, this friendly match was relatively well-regulated, with representatives of the Martial Arts Association present, so he didn’t need to worry about Wen Xiaowei getting hurt for the time being.

"I concede!"

Wen Xiaowei was very competitive and had already been dissatisfied with Shangguan Wan’er. After getting up on the stage, she bowed her fists and immediately charged forward.

Ever since her governor and conception vessels were unblocked, Wen Xiaowei’s martial prowess had changed drastically. She was not only swift as a swallow, but her body’s strength was also vastly different from before.

Relying solely on the speed advantage, after a few exchanges, they were still even.

But Shangguan Wan’er’s body was too tough, Wen Xiaowei’s punches couldn’t inflict any damage on her.

The only advantage Wen Xiaowei had now was in speed; Shangguan Wan’er just couldn’t match it, and that was what led to the stalemate.

"One’s as solid as a rock, the other’s as fast as lightning; it really is hard to tell who’d win!"

"Right, Shangguan Wan’er truly lives up to the name of a martial arts family, such extraordinary skill at such a young age. As for Wen Xiaowei, a young mistress from one of Zao City’s three big families, her dedication to tough training is also admirable!"

Two senior members of the Martial Arts Association also spoke highly of the two.

But Wang Hao didn’t think so.

From the beginning, he had noticed the way Shangguan father and daughter walked, which led him to conclude that Shangguan Wan’er’s speed should not be so slow.

Up to now, she still hadn’t increased her speed. She must have been concealing her own strength, while Wen Xiaowei had already put forth all her effort.

In that case, if Shangguan Wan’er unleashed all her ultimate skills, Wen Xiaowei definitely would not be her match.

"Should I try that method?"

Wang Hao pondered this idea inwardly, but quickly dismissed it, thinking it might be somewhat unsportsmanlike.

However, while Wang Hao was still indecisive, the duel on the stage had already reached a fever pitch. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Neither of the two had managed to defeat the other in a single move, and they had sparred for over a hundred rounds already, with both of them depleting their strength significantly.

Wen Xiaowei knew it would be difficult to beat Shangguan Wan’er with a single move and wasn’t in a hurry. She decided to wear her down slowly to give Wang Hao a clear view, hoping to spot some advantage for herself.

Yet, Shangguan Wan’er’s thoughts were different; she had never met an equal in Zao City. Being a martial artist, she inevitably took pride in victory and competitiveness.

Suddenly, Shangguan Wan’er’s brows furrowed, and she quickened her pace.

After Shangguan Wan’er suddenly increased her speed, it was quite a shock; Wen Xiaowei hadn’t expected Shangguan Wan’er to have been hiding her strength, so she quickly dodged.

After evading several moves in succession, Wen Xiaowei was pressured to the edge of the stage.

Thus, she cast an imploring look at Wang Hao, not truly wanting to lose.

The sudden burst from Shangguan Wan’er had been within Wang Hao’s expectations, but he hadn’t anticipated her speed to be so astonishing after the outburst, which didn’t match up with Shangguan Wan’er’s tall and robust physique.

Her body was resilient, but in terms of speed, she was no slower than Wen Xiaowei, who was sure to lose if things continued this way. Yet, there was nothing Wang Hao could do.

Unintentionally, Wang Hao saw Shangguan Yu’s complexion and noticed he looked very angry, which seemed odd to Wang Hao. His daughter had the upper hand, so he ought to be happy.

Turning his head back to the situation on the stage, Wang Hao couldn’t help but frown—Shangguan Wan’er really was peculiar, her body already so tough.

Why protect her own vital points after speeding up?

Suddenly, a light bulb went on for Wang Hao. As the old Chinese saying goes, "A true gentleman watches the game without comment," and this principle also applies to a martial arts competition.

Watching Wen Xiaowei continuously dodge on the stage, Wang Hao could only watch as she headed toward defeat.

"Okay, stop!"

Just as Wen Xiaowei was on the verge of not being able to hold on, two elders from the Martial Arts Association immediately called a halt to the match.

One of the elders stepped forward and said,

"I’ve seen that both participants have good martial arts skills, but accidents happen when fists and feet fly. If you continue, someone may get injured. Let’s end the competition here for today!"

To ensure the following martial arts competitions could proceed smoothly, they didn’t want any contestant to be injured before their fight, so they quickly stopped the match.

Relieved upon hearing this, Wen Xiaowei hurried back to Wang Hao’s side, panting as if she had just run five kilometers.

"What were you doing just now?"

On Shangguan Wan’er’s side, after she came down from the stage, Shangguan Yu reprimanded her.

"I told you what to do before coming here. Did you just ignore my words?"

Everyone turned their attention to the commotion and did not agree with Shangguan Yu’s approach to discipline.

But after all, it was their family affair, and they pretended not to see.

"If my dad ever dared to scold me like that, I certainly wouldn’t talk to him again!"

Although Wen Xiaowei and Shangguan Wan’er were opponents, seeing Shangguan Wan’er reprimanded so harshly in front of so many people, head bowed, unable to lift it, she still felt some sympathy.

"By the way, did you manage to figure anything out just now?"

Despite the sympathy, Wen Xiaowei still focused on serious matters.

Wiping sweat from her brow, Wen Xiaowei urgently pulled on Wang Hao and asked, for this was key to defeating Shangguan Wan’er.
