I saw a young woman wearing a secret guard uniform walking out of the team and coming to the stage confidently.
"You want to challenge me?" Xiao Douding was a little embarrassed.
"You do have a few tricks up your sleeve, but I am confident that I can defeat you." the young woman said.
"But...I don't want to hit a woman..."
He waved his hands repeatedly: "How about forget it?"
"You look down on me?"
The young woman's eyebrows were raised, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes: "Don't use this as an excuse. In fact, you are afraid that you will be embarrassed if you lose at my hands, right?"
"No...I didn't mean that, and I didn't look down on you!"
Seeing that the other party was angry, Xiao Douding explained seriously: "It's just that my mother has taught me since I was a child that I can't do anything with women..."
"Cut the nonsense!"
The young woman didn't care so much, she directly drew her sword and stabbed the boy in front of her.
She didn't believe that there were people in the ring who could be beaten passively but refused to fight back.
However, to her surprise, Xiao Douding did not fight back, but just dodged around the stage to avoid her attack.
And for more than ten rounds in a row, she really couldn't get close to the opponent.
"Damn it, stop looking down on people!"
The young woman became more and more angry: "Do you dare to fight with me openly?"
"no!"
Little Douding dodged while shaking his head like a rattle: "I have my principles."
"Then what if you are on a mission? You won't hit women either?" The young woman laughed angrily.
"That's different. The enemy has no gender, only life and death."
Xiao Douding also had his own reasons and refused to let go.
But in these more than ten rounds of chasing and hiding, everyone in the audience has already seen that Xiao Douding's strength is far superior to that of the young woman.
Otherwise, you won't let the opponent attack, and you can dodge with ease.
"Huh, I won't admit defeat!"
The young woman was unwilling to give in. The sword was flying in her hands, trying to win with speed, but when her physical strength was almost exhausted, she still failed to touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.
"Damn it!"
She became more and more angry and emotional, and tried her best to defeat Xiao Douding.
Suddenly, she realized that the young man in front of her was constantly moving back and did not notice that she had reached the edge of the ring. If she took a few more steps back, she would fall off the high platform.
The young woman was secretly happy, this was a good opportunity for her!
According to the rules of the arena, as long as Little Douding falls, she will win this competition.
She was so excited that she waved the sword in her hand and pressed forward step by step. In the blink of an eye, she forced the young man in front of her back a few steps.
"Just now!"
The young woman's eyes lit up, as long as she took a step back, the other person would fall off the high platform.
This scene made everyone in the audience tremble with fear. They held their breath nervously and stared unblinkingly at the two people who had reached the edge of the high platform.
"Haha, the position of captain is mine!"
The young woman raised her eyebrows proudly, raised her hand and stabbed the boy in front of her directly in the chest with her sword.
If he didn't want to get hurt, the only option was to fall on the high platform.
However, just when the young woman felt that she was sure of victory and showed a winner's smile, the boy who was standing in front of her suddenly disappeared.
"What's going on?" The young woman was startled. Is it because she was dazzled? The person was in front of her just now, so how could she suddenly disappear?
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Are you looking for me?"
She turned around suddenly and found that Xiao Douding was standing behind her, and the distance was extremely close. As long as the other party moved again, his lips would touch the tip of her nose.
"Ah!" the young woman screamed, subconsciously took a step back, and instantly fell off the stage.
The whole place was in an uproar.
"Su Jinchen successfully defended the challenge!" Ah Wei announced the result expressionlessly.
"Oh my god, I never expected this result..." After a moment of silence, the audience began to boil again.
"Little Douding said he wouldn't hit women, but he really didn't do it!"
"It seems like he kept retreating, so he was doing it on purpose. He turned around so fast just now that I didn't even see him clearly in the audience."
"I underestimated him before, but he does have some abilities."
But anyone who knows a little bit about the art knows that this kind of only defending without attacking is a test of the basic skills of a warrior. If it weren't for the huge gap in strength, it would be impossible for Xiao Douding to be able to dig holes for the opponent after attacking for more than a hundred rounds.
And he himself was unscathed.
But even though they knew that Xiao Douding's strength had improved by leaps and bounds, there were still many people who were unconvinced and came to the ring one by one to challenge him.
Especially the members of the fifth team, because they were dissatisfied with their captain being kicked off the stage by Xiao Douding, they all came to the stage to challenge in the name of revenge for the captain. In the end, they all ended up being kicked off the stage by Xiao Douding just like the captain of the fifth team.
When the last member of the fifth team was kicked off the stage, ordinary members of the other teams no longer wanted to humiliate themselves and went to challenge him.
As for the secret guards like Qiao Mu, Chen Xiaoxiao and others who have always been ranked high in strength, their goals are the leadership positions, and naturally they have no interest in competing with Xiao Douding.
Just when the competition in the ring was in full swing, Xu Tianze lowered his voice and asked Wei who was standing next to him.
"Awei, do you decide who is the commander and captain every year based on his strength?"
"Yes." Awei nodded.
"But..." Xu Tian stopped talking.
This method of appointment seems fair, but it is unscientific.
After all, strong people may not necessarily be good leaders. Some people are naturally suited to decision-making, and some are naturally suited to combat.
If we rely purely on strength, then the person at the top must be the strongest, but he may not necessarily be a good leader.
"Mr. Xu, the selection of leaders among the Tang family's secret guards has always been like this."
Ah Wei seemed to have guessed what Xu Tian wanted to ask, so he explained: "And this rule was set by the eldest lady."
"Bingyan decided?" Xu Tian was slightly startled.
He originally thought that this was the rule of the Tang family, and that Tang Bingyan had been following this rule since she became the head of the family. He did not expect that this rule was actually made by her.
"That's right." A Wei nodded slightly.
"But, in this case, the person who wins every time will definitely be the strongest person, but the strong person may not be suitable as a leader to assign tasks to other secret guards... And if the person who wins is not good enough for the Tang family,
If you are loyal, won't you disrupt the secret guard team?"
Xu Tian raised his concerns.
Ah Wei smiled faintly when he heard this: "Actually, when I first learned that the eldest lady had made this decision, I was shocked, but slowly I came to understand her true intention."
"Mr. Xu, those who can become the secret guards of the Tang family are all experts selected from a thousand, and most of them perform dangerous tasks that involve a narrow escape from death."
"It is said that geniuses always have some quirks that are difficult to get along with. Do you think the relationship between these secret guards will be harmonious?"
