Outside the Imperial Study in the palace, things were quite lively at the moment.

Because a petite girl actually punched a burly imperial guard flying.

The key point is that this girl is only about fourteen years old.

The power she possessed left all the top imperial guards present completely stunned.

They could no longer laugh. They put away their previous mocking attitude and looked seriously at the petite Zhao Qingzhu.

Zhu Yunwen, however, wore a smile; he had already witnessed Zhao Qingzhu's prowess.

It's not surprising that someone could send a burly man flying with a single punch.

What he was really curious about was just how powerful Zhao Qingzhu's martial arts skills were.

Could he fight a few rounds against a master of martial arts?

The previous imperial guard stood in front of her and let her fight, which is different from the concept of both sides fighting at the same time.

At this moment, the burly imperial guard gritted his teeth, stood up, rubbed his chest vigorously, and sighed:

"Girl, you're really strong. I can hardly take that punch."

Zhao Qingzhu shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm strong, but rather that the angle of my punch amplifies the power several times, resulting in a multiplied increase in force, which is why I can unleash such tremendous power."

As soon as Zhao Qingzhu said this, the burly man immediately became serious and stepped forward to say:

"The young lady's words demonstrate a very subtle control and application of power. It seems that you are not just strong, but also quite knowledgeable about martial arts."

Zhao Qingzhu nodded smugly and said:

"I told you long ago, there are few people in this world who can rival me. Although I am small in stature and not particularly strong, I have countless ways to amplify the power I can unleash to an infinite degree."

Ultimately, the attack is launched using various techniques and tricky angles. This increases the resulting power several times over, even to an immeasurable degree.

The burly imperial guard immediately cupped his hands in greeting to Zhao Qingzhu and said:

"This humble servant is blind. Since the young lady wishes to have a contest, I will shamelessly disregard my status and ask for your guidance."

Clearly, this burly man was also very passionate about martial arts. Now that he learned that Zhao Qingzhu did indeed have a good foundation in martial arts, he not only no longer had any intention of mocking Zhao Qingzhu, but instead respected and valued her even more.

Zhao Qingzhu began by saying:

"That's exactly what I was thinking, but you alone are clearly not enough for me to fight. Let's pick a few more strong ones and have you all come at me together. Let our Crown Prince know just how powerful I really am."

The burly man said:

"Let me try first. Although you just knocked me away with one punch, if I take it seriously, you may not be my match."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu shook her head and said:

"Sigh, you still underestimate me."

She then slowly stepped forward, made a starting gesture, and then lightly touched the ground with her feet, her body floating up gracefully as she rushed towards the burly imperial guard.

The imperial guard, like a raging bull, leaned forward and kicked out like a cannonball.

At the same time, he clenched his fist and punched Zhao Qingzhu.

Zhao Qingzhu remained calm; she did not use her incredibly delicate fists to clash head-on with the fists of that imperial guard.

Instead, at the very moment they were about to make contact, he suddenly dissolved his fist into a grappling stance, instantly grabbing the big man's wrist.

And then use a few fingers to firmly pinch the tendons on his wrist.

The guard's expression changed, and the fist he was clenching suddenly loosened, instantly losing its strength.

The next moment, Zhao Qingzhu twisted her body and kicked the big man hard in the waist.

At the same time, she was also sent flying backward, but landed lightly on the ground. When she saw the big man again, she fell to the ground in a very embarrassing position and rolled twice.

He then stood up awkwardly, clutching his wrist, staring at Zhao Qingzhu, and said:

"What a brilliant grappling technique! Its speed and accuracy left me no time to react."

With just this one move, I have to admit that if you were to fight me one-on-one, I wouldn't last a single round against you.

Zhao Qingzhu smiled and proudly raised her head, giving Zhu Yuntong a very smug look.

Zhu Yunwen smiled, clapped his hands, and said:

"Amazing, amazing!"

Zhao Qingzhu then looked at the other imperial guards who were equally shocked and said:

"All of you, come at me! I'm going to take on ten of them."

Those imperial guards, as if their dignity had been trampled upon, rushed forward without regard for their reputation and surrounded Zhao Qingzhu.

Zhao Qingzhu shook his blue robe, then said with a mischievous smile:

"Come on, let me see just how powerful the imperial guards are."

Zhu Yuntong felt that Zhao Qingzhu might not be able to break through the encirclement.

However, he still underestimated Zhao Qingzhu. Suddenly, Zhao Qingzhu's agile figure lightly leaped up from the crowd's encirclement.

Immediately afterward, her small foot stepped over the heads of the ten imperial guards, then suddenly she turned around and kicked a burly man in the waist.

The big man hurriedly stretched out his arms to dodge, but the next moment, Zhao Qingzhu's other foot suddenly attacked from another angle.

Caught off guard, the imperial guard was kicked in the chest and sent flying backward.
