Sack looked down at Shi Lan, who was two heads shorter than him, and spread his hands, saying, "Ladies first."

Shi Lan didn't stand on ceremony. Since he wanted to show off, she would let him show off to his heart's content.

Shi Lan leaned forward, her front leg slightly bent and her back leg taut. With a burst of strength, she shot out like an arrow.

Sak instinctively threw a punch at Shi Lan's head and neck, but he stopped halfway through and instead struck her shoulder.

Shi Lan smiled, swaying lightly like a willow in the wind, then moved behind him, patted his back with her slender white hand, withdrew it after a moment, and took two steps back.

As Sack turned his head, he saw her stop.

Sak was astonished, his eyes widening in surprise.

Shi Lan smiled and glanced around at the crowd, saying calmly, "You let me have one move, so I'll return the favor. We're even now. But I won't hold back from here on out."

The guests standing against the wall started whispering to each other again, but their expressions no longer held the previous disdain. The women were all surprised to see Shi Lan like this; Shi Lan's actions were truly beyond their expectations.

Sack tightened his arms and clenched his fists. He was no longer as relaxed as before; his large face was filled with caution and solemnity.

The fight resumed. This time, Sak didn't mention going first again, but he clearly didn't intend to make the first move. Shi Lan's actions just now were too relaxed, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Shi Lan smiled faintly. The A-level power in this world is very strong and explosive, but their bodies are too tall, which makes their attack speed not fast enough. Although their moves are all aimed at vital points, greatly reducing the time required to strike, they are still no match for the Buddha Body Refining Technique in the martial arts world.

To Shi Lan's surprise, this world seemed particularly suitable for cultivating physical skills. After some effort, she had recently reached the second level of the Gathering Cycle. In this world, she could say without any modesty that there were no more than five people who could be her opponents.

Sak stared cautiously at Shi Lan, while Shi Lan took small steps toward Sak.

All eyes were fixed on the arena, watching what they perceived as a mismatch in strength.

Sack clenched his fists, his heart pounding. The guests present represented almost every department of the military, and he could imagine that if he lost, his military career would be effectively over.

Sack was beginning to regret his words, realizing he shouldn't have acted so impulsively and spoken without thinking.

Shi Lan gave him no chance to retreat. She stomped her feet on the ground, spread her arms, and like a light and agile bird, she directly crossed the height difference and headed straight for Sak's eyes.

Sak gritted his teeth and punched Shi Lan in the waist and abdomen with lightning speed.

The women watching gasped and whispered in surprise, while the men shook their heads, their meaning clear even though they didn't say anything.

Shi Lan was in mid-air with no foothold around her. If she were hit, given her small frame, it would be a miracle if she wasn't pierced through.

Sak's face showed a struggle. He was afraid he couldn't bear the consequences of his fate, but if he didn't fight back, he was reluctant to leave the army camp.

After two years of deliberation, Sack felt that there had never been a more difficult decision for him in his life.

A fist, carrying a gentle breeze, swept through the air and struck directly at her. Shi Lan squinted, pursed her lips, and suddenly twisted in mid-air.

Like a ribbon fluttering in the wind, she swayed slightly with the force of Sack's punch, deftly and naturally dodging the fatal blow.

Seeing her land lightly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even Sack himself didn't know whether to feel relieved or annoyed.

Shi Lan had already slid to his side, her delicate fingers touching his back, skillfully pressing and tracing the lines of his spine downwards.

Sak screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground as if he had lost all his bones, before he could even react.

Sack was terrified. He didn't know what was wrong with him. The excruciating pain in his back made it impossible for him to move. He struggled a couple of times, but could only spread his hands and feet out weakly.

Shi Lan squatted down, looked at him, and said softly, "Although it was a bit of an unfair victory, I still won."

Sak stared at her, seemingly very unconvinced.

Shi Lan smiled slightly at him, "I'm definitely no match for you if we go toe-to-toe with fists, but who says a duel has to be a head-on collision?"

Shi Lan slowly stood up, looked at everyone and said, "Although our bodies are not as strong as yours, our mental strength is not as great, and our reactions are not as fast, it doesn't mean we are stupid. We also have our own feelings and our own thoughts. Please stop treating us as your personal possessions. We also have our own value. Please don't arbitrarily decide our lives based on your own wishes."

As soon as Shi Lan finished speaking, the women applauded enthusiastically for her, with Mei Si, who had previously hidden away after causing trouble, applauding particularly enthusiastically.

Shi Lan turned around and helped Sak adjust his bones, then helped him up.

Mei Si quickly snapped a few photos and uploaded them, along with Shi Lan's words, to the StarNet.

Sak stood up with a slight stagger, his face extremely pale.

Shi Lan glanced around at everyone and said in a low voice, "If you're not satisfied, let's find a time to have a one-on-one match."

Sak stared at Shi Lan for a moment, said nothing, and turned to leave.

The women swarmed around Shi Lan, chattering excitedly and incredulously.

The butler suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, squeezing into the crowd and whispering in Shi Lan's ear.

Shi Lan smiled and gestured to the women, indicating that she wanted to leave, but the women were too excited and blocked her way.

The steward had no choice but to step in and, with his servants, stop the man.
