The third match was a martial arts duel with Lu Yang.
Everyone moved directly to the largest training ground in the Yu family.
The Lu family controls the Seventh Legion. Lu Yang is the grandson of the old master Lu, born to the second branch of the family.
Lu Zhu is the eldest daughter of the second master of the house, while Lu Yang is the youngest son of the second master of the house and Lu Zhu's younger brother.
Born into a top-tier aristocratic family, and also a military and political family, even at only seventeen years old, he was still an outstanding individual among his peers.
Moreover, Lu Yang is very talented in cultivation and is the most outstanding among his peers in the capital.
At seventeen, he was not only a three-elemental ability user, but also a martial arts master at the ninth level of the Martial God realm.
The Lu family's decision to send him out to compete against Jin Shangyue was a well-thought-out one.
The Lu family thought that Jin Shangyue was an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts, and even if she had learned some martial arts moves, she was only a novice.
Sending a young man in his twenties to fight Jin Shangyue would be too obvious an attempt to bully her.
That's why they chose Lu Yang.
He is younger than Jin Shangyue, but his fighting skills are not low. He can easily crush a weakling like Jin Shangyue from a small place.
But to everyone's surprise, seeing that Jin Shangyue had won two matches in a row, the Lu family became uncertain.
There's always this feeling that Lu Yang will be crushed.
So he quickly sent a message to Lu Yang in private, trying to find a way to his advantage in the rules and restrain Jin Shangyue.
Therefore, when Jinshangyue asked how this round would be conducted, Lu Yang replied.
"You and I will fight, without the use of weapons or any external drugs or other means. It will be a pure martial arts and superpower contest. Whoever knocks the other off the stage first will be the winner."
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that these rules must have been temporarily taught to Lu Yang by the Lu family.
This is to prevent Jin Shangyue from using powerful weapons or potent medicines to help her win the competition.
Lu Yang is an eighth-tier, three-elemental ability user, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the ninth level of Martial God.
If it were purely a contest of strength, Jin Shangyue, with her unorthodox methods, would definitely suffer a loss.
Jin Shangyue seemed completely unconcerned about the scheming involved and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's start the competition."
With that, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew onto the dueling platform.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yang frowned slightly. Jin Shangyue's light and graceful movements clearly indicated that she had practiced martial arts.
Is her fighting ability really just what they think—that of a weakling with no fighting skills?
Lu Yang braced himself, remaining fully alert and not letting his guard down in the slightest.
He absolutely cannot lose this match.
Lu Yang channeled his inner energy and flew to the dueling platform.
Seeing that both sides had already taken their positions on the dueling platform, Steward Li opened the protective shield on the platform.
This prevents the power exerted by the fighters on the fighting platform from accidentally injuring onlookers.
"start."
As soon as the starting signal was given, Lu Yang launched the first attack.
A fireball condensed into a three-meter-long fire sword, which slashed down at Jin Shangyue.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they stared intently at the two people on the dueling platform.
It remains to be seen whether Jin Shangyue will be able to dodge this powerful attack.
The next second, Jin Shangyue raised her hand and directly caught the falling flaming sword out of thin air.
When Lu Yang saw Jin Shangyue catch his supernatural flames with her bare hands, his pupils immediately contracted.
He instinctively prepared to launch another attack, but then he saw Jin Shangyue strike him with her other hand from a distance.
A terrifying and powerful gale swept towards him, and Lu Yang had no time to resist before he was sent flying.
"puff……"
Lu Yang landed on the ground from the fighting platform, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood and fainting.
Everyone: !!!
Is this over as soon as it started?
Is it that fast?
It felt like I was watching a fake martial arts fight...
Jin Shangyue turned around and faced the stunned crowd, her gaze sweeping over the heads of various families.
"Gentlemen, we can announce the results now."
Gentlemen of all the prominent families: ...
They hadn't even realized what was happening yet, how could the results be announced already?
That's way too fast...
Old Master Li, who was carefree and had nothing to do, reacted the fastest, immediately clapping his hands with a smile.
"Good! The Yu family girl is indeed an outstanding child. Even growing up outside cannot hide your brilliant talent."
"I hereby declare Jinshangyue the winner of this contest. Does anyone have any objections?"
Those equally carefree old men smiled and nodded, agreeing that Jin Shangyue had won.
Only the old men from the Chang, Lu, Lan, and Qi families, among others, had truly fascinating expressions on their faces.
Even if you feel deep regret and resentment, you can only grit your teeth and accept it.
In the third match, Jinshangyue emerged victorious once again, winning effortlessly and swiftly.
Jin Shangyue looked at Old Master Lu: "Ten states, 20,000 private guards, thank you for the bet from the Lu family."
Old Master Lu's face was ashen, and he said with a forced smile.
"This young girl is really impressive, but young people should know how to be humble and know when to stop. Otherwise, it will backfire. If you get too proud, you will easily fall down and never be able to get back up."
Jin Shangyue smiled gently, exuding an air of noble elegance: "I have learned a lot. Old Master Lu is indeed a man of experience."
The pointed remark instantly turned Old Master Lu's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
That brat is being sarcastic, implying that he's gained all this experience because he's fallen so many times. She's got a really sharp tongue!
Old Master Lu was so angry he almost had a heart attack. After a moment of calm, he was about to retaliate when Jin Shangyue, that brat, turned around and started talking to someone else, ignoring him completely.
