The two bowed to each other, and Helan Wenjin grinned and said, "Fists and feet have no eyes, so don't blame me if you hurt Lord Nan later."

"Of course not." Nan Wuyu replied politely.

After exchanging pleasantries, Helan Wenjin charged fiercely towards Nan Wuyu as if facing a mortal enemy, his fists whistling through the air.

Nan Wusi watched with extreme tension, his eyes glued to the two men's movements.

Although Nan Wuyu appeared calm and collected on the surface, he was under immense psychological pressure.

If the Northern Huan princess is already highly skilled in martial arts, then even if the eldest prince is not, he won't be that much worse. Moreover, it's more likely that the eldest prince is even better at martial arts.

Faced with Helan Wenjin's punch, Nan Wuyu could only use his arms to block it. He concentrated all his internal energy in his hands and was barely able to defend himself.

Even though he managed to block the punch, Nan Wuyu felt a sharp pain in his hands.

Throughout the entire duel, Helan Wenjin dominated Nan Wuyu, becoming increasingly excited as the fight progressed, unleashing his full power in every move.

Nan Wuyu's momentum waned, and he suffered numerous hidden injuries, but he still struggled to hold on.

"Second Brother!" Nan Wusi stood up abruptly and called out urgently. However, Helan Wenjin was in a fit of passion and had no intention of paying attention to anyone else's calls.

Upon seeing this, Helan Wenyue also frowned slightly and called out softly, "Big Brother."

Upon hearing this, Helan Wenjin immediately stopped, moved away from Nan Wuyu, and stood on the opposite side of the arena.

Nan Wuyu forced back the blood in his mouth and stood tremblingly, saying, "I have lost."

After saying that, he stepped down from the dueling platform. Nan Wusi ignored what others thought and rushed to Nan Wuyu's side, helping him back to his seat.

The atmosphere in the arena became even more tense. Xiao Teng wanted to get angry, but since it was someone else who had proposed it and he had agreed to it, he could only hold it in.

The arena remained silent for a long time. After witnessing Nan Wuyu's miserable state, no one dared to go up and suffer the torment. Even Helan Wenjin wandered around the arena aimlessly for several minutes.

At this moment, Xiao Mu stood up, dusted off his clothes, and slowly walked to the dueling platform. "Your Highness, please."

Xiao Mu gestured for him to proceed, and He Lan Wenjin, without saying a word, rushed directly towards Xiao Mu.

All eyes were on the two of them, and Xiao Mu enjoyed the feeling.

His courage to step onto the field stemmed from a comprehensive assessment of both Helan Wenjin's and his own strength. He discovered that Helan Wenjin appeared to be the type who was brave but reckless; while he possessed brute strength, he was not invincible.

Helan Wenyue is even more troublesome. She looks weak and powerless, but that's just an appearance. Her moves and responses are far superior to Helan Wenjin's.

Xiao Mu's martial arts skills were only considered decent, so he felt he might lose to Helan Wenyue, but he had a better chance of winning against Helan Wenjin.

Helan Wenjin didn't care about such complicated details; he just rushed up and beat people up.

However, this time he didn't win so easily. Although Xiao Mu didn't manage to deflect his attacks too easily, he did manage to do so in the end.

The two exchanged dozens of blows, but remained deadlocked.

Although Helan Wenjin was brave, he lacked skill, while Xiao Mu was also skilled, but he did not have the strength to subdue Helan Wenjin.

After exchanging dozens more blows, Xiao Mu's stamina began to wane, but He Lan Wenjin, though seemingly tired, was still able to continue. Therefore, Xiao Mu's defeat was only a matter of time.

However, Xiao Mu then suggested that the two sides fight to a draw. But He Lan Wenjin naturally disagreed; he was not yet exhausted, and if the fight continued, Xiao Mu would definitely not be able to defeat him.

However, Helan Wenyue agreed on behalf of Helan Wenjin. She always had to give the Crown Prince some face, otherwise, if she really angered these people, they might not survive in the capital.

Xiao Teng's expression only improved slightly after Xiao Mu and Helan Wenjin had fought to a draw.

However, this time Xiao Mu did set an example for these spoiled brats; as long as they could dodge Helan Wenjin's attacks, that would be fine.

So, it wasn't that no one went up on stage for a while, but several people went up in succession, and they were all knocked off the stage after only a few moves.

Gradually, Emperor Xiao Teng's face turned ugly again. He hadn't expected that none of his subjects could fight. It was too shameful.

The Northern Huan only sent two people, yet they caused all the noble families in the capital to collapse. If the border is lost and the enemy attacks the capital, the country will likely perish.

"What a bunch of useless trash," Xiao Teng thought to himself.

As he watched as a group of noble young masters were beaten one by one by Helan Wenjin, Xiao Teng's anger gradually rose. However, as the emperor of a country, he obviously could not show his emotions too obviously.

After Wu Qingzi's brother was knocked off the stage, she suddenly stood up, clasped her hands in a fist salute to Helan Wenyue, and said, "Princess Helan, Qingzi has been watching for a long time and is itching to spar. I wonder if I could have a match with the princess?"

“Okay.” Helan Wenyue looked Wu Qingzi up and down, then nodded.

Then the two looked at Xiao Teng. Even though they both agreed, the emperor's approval was still required.

Xiao Teng didn't want to watch those nasty people get beaten up anymore, so he happily agreed. He had heard that Wu Qingzi was always eager to help the weak and that her martial arts skills were outstanding among women.

However, thinking of this, he glanced at Nan Wusi again. He didn't know that Helan Wenyue and Nan Wusi had already made a duel yesterday, so he still thought that Nan Wusi was somewhat inferior to Wu Qingzi in this respect.
