Of those who make it to the end, only a small percentage actually succeed. Princess Nanlin fought back with all her might and managed to withstand a few blows.
But it was only a few moves, and Gu Xin showed absolutely no mercy.
She was genuinely angry that the man coveted her man and was plotting against her, especially since he was colluding with that idiot Lu Ni—both of whom she hated.
Gu Xin grabbed Princess Nanlin again, pulled her by the collar, and threw her into the air.
The people of Da Zhou in the audience were stunned. This was the first time many of them had ever seen Gu Xin use force.
They knew in their hearts that Gu Xin was highly skilled in martial arts; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to accomplish such a large feat in the Western Regions all by herself, and even succeed.
However, Gu Xin has always appeared as a gentle and delicate young girl, looking well-behaved, which often gives people the illusion that she is the girl next door.
These two days of competition marked Gu Xin's first appearance, completely overturning everyone's expectations, but this was also within reason.
Princess Nanlin was thrown high into the air and fell, but Gu Xin caught her by the back of her collar with perfect accuracy.
She grabbed the back of her collar, then lifted her leg and placed the person on her lap. If it were a man and a woman, the position would be somewhat ambiguous, but these were two women, one of whom had just been thrown into the air by the other, making it impossible to think of anything ambiguous.
"Are you still thinking about Lu Zheng?" Gu Xin asked expressionlessly.
"You!" Princess Nanlin was extremely ashamed and indignant, but she didn't know what to say.
She had never been treated so violently in her life, but she was a person who refused to admit defeat, so she would never answer the way Gu Xin wanted.
"Not answering means you're denying it. You mean you still have your eyes on my man, is that right?" Gu Xin asked, not giving anyone a chance to answer. She put her leg down, picked up Princess Nanlin, turned around, and then gave Princess Nanlin an over-the-shoulder throw.
Princess Nanlin was thrown to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The people of Great Zhou below the stage were in an uproar.
That's right, they were just as angry as they were before, and now they're just as excited.
The envoy from the Southern Kingdom was furious and rushed to the Ministry of Rites officials with his messenger, wanting to suspend the competition.
The Ministry of Rites official patiently explained, "Gentlemen, the rules of this competition are clearly stated. Unless the person on the stage falls silent and cannot admit defeat, none of us below the stage can stop this competition."
The envoy from the south retorted angrily, "Is this a competition? Your princess clearly intends to kill our princess!"
The official from the Ministry of Rites smiled and said, "I apologize, everyone. Our Princess Xinxin has always been a serious person and would not kill someone on a whim. She is simply respecting her opponent. It is precisely because your princess deserves respect that our Princess Xinxin is going all out to meet her opponent. Really, it is just respect, the respect that both sides should have in a contest!"
The envoy from Nanlin wanted to hit someone, but he was surrounded by guards from the Great Zhou.
The Ministry of Rites official was not afraid at all, still with that smiling and amiable demeanor: "If you are worried that your princess might get hurt, we can pause for a moment and ask your princess if she is willing to admit defeat. If she is, then this competition will end."
Upon hearing this, the envoy from Nanlin rushed to the side of the arena: "Princess, eldest princess, quickly admit defeat!"
