"Brother Mu is good at calculations?" Xiao Zhixing sized up Mu Zixi, this unassuming young man.

This man was the nephew of General Xue Chen, the garrison commander of Feiyun Pass. He often followed behind Huo Baijun, inconspicuous and unremarkable, but unexpectedly he also quietly entered the Gentleman's Courtyard.

Mu Zixi smiled and said, "I know a little bit."

Li Wenxiu wrinkled her little nose, "Then you can't let me win later, we'll go all out."

Mu Zixi cupped his hands in greeting, "I understand."

If they throw the game, the result will be unacceptable to the public, which will damage Xiao Zhixing's reputation.

On the field, the results of the match between Mu Wan and Huo Baijun were announced.

The Mu family swordsmanship emphasizes lightness and speed.

The Huo family knife is characterized by its powerful and sweeping movements, but Huo Baijun himself is quite fast, which compensates for the weakness of the Huo family knife.

"You're too kind!" Huo Baijun sheathed his sword, winning by a narrow margin.

Mu Wan steadied her breathing and shook her bleeding wrist. "A loss is a loss. We'll compete again in the future."

He turned around, walked up to Xiao Zhixing, and bowed apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lost."

Xiao Zhixing shook his head, smiled slightly, and patted her shoulder, "I gained a good friend today, so I didn't lose!"

She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I sincerely invite you to take a position in Xiao Jiajun. Would you like to consider it?"

She needs a leader for the new all-female team she plans to add in the future.

As for whether her being a member of the Mu family would cause any trouble, Xiao Zhixing wasn't worried. If she were to cause trouble right under his nose, he wouldn't need to be her commander anymore.

Upon hearing this, Mu Wan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but smile, "Okay, wait for me."

Her family forbade her to join the army, saying that the Mu family's daughters should enjoy the protection of their fathers and brothers, and that they did not need her to fight and shed blood, even though her swordsmanship and strategy were no less than her brothers'.

Her mother, in particular, urged her day and night to learn the skills of a lady and strictly forbade her from handling swords or spears.

But what she loved most was the armor her father and brothers wore; she also longed to gallop across the battlefield and become a female general who conquered all directions.

My mother has relaxed her control over me lately only because she single-handedly protected the whole family during the Yanshan Rebellion.

But that's not enough.

She was unwilling to confine herself to the inner courtyard, learning boudoir skills and how to please her future husband, only to ultimately become a man's appendage.

So when news of Xiao Zhixing's deeds came, she was overjoyed and longed to visit him.

That suppressed rebellious heart could no longer be kept in check.

She wanted to live for herself for once!

When Fulu announced the results, apart from the girls' disappointment, no one was surprised at all.

Huo Baijun came over and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I apologize."

There was no way he could let them get away with it; with so many eyes watching, he dared not go easy on them.

Xiao Zhixing patted his arm to indicate that he didn't need to worry about it, and walked onto the stage unaffected, waving to Xiong Chumo, "What are you dawdling for?"

Xiong Chumo smiled wryly, "Then please be gentle with me later!"

He shouldered his twin hammers, his eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Your Highness, your humble servant has arrived!"

call!

The single hammer, as heavy as a mountain, hurtled towards Xiao Zhixing with a howling wind, its momentum terrifying.

"Ah!" Those who had never seen such a sight couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. No one expected that this chubby boy would be so powerful.

If he hadn't joined Xiao Family Army and entered Junzi Academy, who would have known this unknown nobody, Xiong Chumo, before?

The generals couldn't help but widen their eyes: A fierce general! A truly fierce general!

Xiao Zhixing remained unmoved, his gaze critical. "Too slow, too much nonsense."

One hand outstretched, bang!

She actually managed to withstand the iron hammer the size of a washbasin with her palm. Apart from the wind blowing her clothes, she remained as steady as a rock and did not move an inch.

"Good!!" Many martial arts experts couldn't help but applaud, this move alone showed how powerful Xiao Zhixing was.

Xiong Chumo was not discouraged. He chuckled and smashed another iron hammer down on her head.

Xiao Zhixing continued to block the hammer with his other hand, "If you can force me to move even half a step, I will consider myself the loser!"

Xiong Chumo shouted, "Then this humble general will not stand on ceremony!"

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

He then began to relentlessly pound and smash Xiao Zhixing, creating a terrifying scene with mud and rocks flying everywhere, making anyone who watched it shudder.

Xiao Zhixing remained calm and composed. She was unharmed, but the area around her had been completely smashed, and the ground seemed to have shrunk several inches.

Xiao Zhixing shook his head. "That's fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked him in the chest. Xiong Chumo blocked with his hammer, but was kicked ten feet away along with his weapon and rolled on the ground, unable to get up at all.

The scene was silent.

Until Fu Lu loudly proclaimed, "Prince Yuan Sheng has won!"

"Ahhh, we won! We won!" The girls watching couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

Li Wenxiu's screams were the loudest.

The eight contestants focused their attention and concentrated on their creations.

[Red comments: Awesome, amazing!]

[Green comment: Okay, applause, applause, the girl in front is pretty good too.]

[Yellow comment: Hahaha, our goddess's fighting power has always been at its peak.]

[Green comment: But in this match, with one win and one loss, it's a draw for Wu Zhan and his team, right?]

Xiao Zhixing naturally knew that she had to win the battle, so she said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, in order to convince them, I am willing to fight another battle."

Originally, three people could have been arranged, but among those who entered the Gentleman's Courtyard, only Huo Baijun and Xiong Chumo were considered formal martial artists, while the others were scholars, so in the end only the two of them could fight.

Zhao Yunqi smiled, "Is it to have another match with Huo Liulang?"

Huo Baijun's face immediately fell; there was no way to avoid it after all.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhixing pointed to the stage and said, "I want to challenge him—Eunuch Luo!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment. Those who knew Luo Mangong's skills immediately thought to themselves, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! This man is one of the top experts in the Qian Yuan Continent."
