Chu Zhongtian comforted him, "It seems that Xiao An suffered from a lack of combat experience. Don't be too harsh on him. After all, his performance just now was already an unexpected surprise."
Qin Wanru couldn't help but say, "At first, I really didn't have much hope for him. No one could have imagined that he would have such amazing agility. But since he had such skills, it wasn't impossible for him to win. Who knew that he would only gain some verbal advantage from beginning to end, and even had time to play some random background music. Now that he's getting serious, how can I not be angry?"
In her opinion, if Zuan had taken advantage of this information gap from the beginning to catch the opponent off guard, for example by using unpredictable movement techniques to place the weapon on the opponent's vital points, he might have already won.
As a result, he only slapped the other party twice. Although it was indeed a great loss of face for the Yuan family, it also thoroughly angered the other party. When a fifth-rank expert gets serious, it cannot be dealt with by a single movement technique.
The outcome of this competition is of great significance to the Chu family. If Zu An had conceded defeat at the beginning, she wouldn't be so upset. Now, knowing that there was a chance to win but watching it slip away, the contrast is enough to drive anyone crazy.
Chu Zhongtian sighed: "He is still young. He will learn from his mistakes and understand after this experience. Now we are ready to save him at any time, so that he doesn't really die under Yuan Wendong's sword."
Chu Huanzhao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Father and Mother, why do you have so little faith in him? I think my brother-in-law can definitely do it."
Hong Xingying finally found an opportunity to say, "Second Miss, the difference between cultivators at each major realm is like a chasm. If a fifth-grade cultivator were so easy to defeat, he wouldn't be recognized as a master by everyone."
He considered himself loyal to the Chu family, but if he had to choose between the Chu family losing the competition and Zu'an winning, he would still prefer the Chu family to lose.
To let a good-for-nothing who had always looked down on steal the limelight, and to make matters worse, to lose to him, after having previously ridiculed him relentlessly, is a humiliation that few people in the world can accept.
Chu Huanzhao's smile froze. Although she didn't like cultivation, how could she not know these basic common sense principles? "Hmph, brother-in-law can definitely do it, right, sister?"
Her tone weakened, and she had to ask her sister for help to strengthen her resolve.
"Maybe," Chu Chuyan replied casually, her beautiful eyes fixed on the figure on the field, lost in thought.
At this moment, Yuan Wendong looked at the swords and blades floating everywhere in mid-air on the arena and felt calm: "Zu An, I have to admit that your movement technique really surprised me. If you had attacked with all your might at the beginning, you might have had a chance to beat me. It's just a pity that you didn't seize the opportunity. Now it's all over."
Now that he felt more confident, he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he wanted to play a cat-and-mouse game and see if his opponent would show any regret or annoyance.
Zuan looked at him strangely: "If I beat you right away, wouldn't that be letting you off easy? You guys were fighting Xiao Zhao like that just now, if I don't get my revenge on you, how can I stand up for her?"
Chu Huanzhao, sitting in the audience, looked delighted and quickly tugged at his parents' sleeves, saying, "I knew it! There must be a reason why my brother-in-law did this."
Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru frowned slightly, feeling that this reason was too far-fetched, but since the other party was standing up for their daughter, they couldn't say anything.
"Who does he think he is?" Hong Xingying thought of how Zu An not only married the eldest young lady, but the second young lady was also so close to him, and his heart was filled with insane jealousy. "If he can beat a fifth-rank expert, I'll eat this table right here and now!"
Chu snorted and turned his head away, ignoring him.
At this moment, Yuan Wendong on the stage laughed angrily: "Hahaha, so you were just holding back because you wanted to avenge your sister-in-law? Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard in years!"
Yuan Wendong's anger level increased by 666!
"This kind of joke is the funniest?" Zu An shrugged. "It just shows that Young Master Yuan's knowledge is really limited."
Yuan Wendong: "..."
Yuan Wendong's anger level increased by 250!
He really couldn't understand how this guy's brain worked; at a time like this, he was still in the mood to discuss jokes.
He was worried that if he continued talking to the other party, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. "I'm too lazy to waste words with a guy like you. Let me show you what a fifth-grade cultivation level is, and what the difference between you and me is!"
He swung his hands forward, and the swords and blades suspended in mid-air shot towards his opponent like a torrential rain. At this moment, his eyes were filled with madness and hatred: "Pain, wail, and then all of you die!"
The opponent's movements were indeed very strange, but now the entire arena was filled with swords and blades, which could be described as indiscriminate saturation attacks. No matter where he dodged, he would be shot into a hedgehog.
"Brother-in-law, be careful!" Chu Huanzhao was so frightened that she sat up straight, but the pain from her injuries made her fall back onto the stretcher.
Chu Zhongtian and Chu Chuyan looked solemn, ready to step in and save them at any moment.
On the stage, Shi Kun frowned secretly. Yuan Wendong was too hasty. He attacked with deadly intent right away. Chu Zhongtian would definitely come to his rescue later, and he might not be able to hurt that guy as he wished.
At this moment, Zu'an calmly called out, "Little Bottle~"
"Hey!" Cheng Shouping, who had been waiting near the arena, responded and threw a strangely shaped shield over.
Seeing Zuan holding the shield in front of him, Yuan Wendong sneered inwardly, thinking, "Do you think I'm some kind of weakling like Chu Huanzhao? Your shield can block in front of you, but how can it block your sides and back?"
