The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World - Chapter 109
Next up was a competition of regular bows and arrows. Everyone mounted their horses and shot at the rabbits placed in the training ground.
Ru Feng was very experienced in this; on the way from Master Mountain to Fengxian Academy, Ru Feng was a skilled hunter. So when the squad leader's arrow hit the rabbit's body, while Ru Feng's arrow struck the rabbit's eye, the outcome was immediately decided.
The crowd cheered and applauded.
Ru Feng jumped down and laughed, "I know that the other soldiers are not convinced by me. How about we have a one-time competition right now?"
The onlookers fell silent, all staring at Zhong Ying, eager to test their skills against Ru Feng and deflate his arrogance.
Thinking about it, Ru Feng's performance today must have infuriated everyone else. With such a small frame, his archery skills are amazing. I just don't believe the others are any better.
Zhong Ying silently glanced at everyone, finally looking into Ru Feng's bright eyes, lost in thought. But when he saw Yu Chi Huaiyang's smile in the shadows, he made up his mind.
"Alright, let's have a competition!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers immediately erupted in cheers and jeers. They were so excited that they seemed to want to fight to the death.
Ru Feng glanced at them and was also eager to try. She had wanted to fight for a long time, she had been too depressed lately.
They were all provoked by Mu Wenchen, who didn't say a single word of concern and only criticized them throughout. So Ru Feng really needed to vent.

"What are we competing in?" someone asked.
Ru Feng crossed his arms, lightly touched the ground with his toes against the wall, and said, "Whatever."
Yu Chi Huaiyang, hidden in the shadows, frowned. "What kind of pose is Ru Feng in?"
Zhong Ying glanced at the crowd around him and said, "Anyone who disagrees can come out and fight Captain Mu. Just make sure no one gets hurt."
The crowd looked at each other, whispering amongst themselves, but no one came forward.
Ru Feng chuckled: "Has everyone made up their minds?"
At this moment, dozens of people stepped forward one after another. Ru Feng shook his head inwardly, thinking that there would be more.
"Any more?" Ru Feng smiled. She had already passed the Fu Qiang Formation, let alone these people who didn't even have eight people yet.
Then a few more people stepped forward, and everyone stared at Ru Feng, for these were all skilled fighters from the Tiger Wing Battalion.
A burly man stepped forward and shouted, "I want to compete with you, sir, in spear fighting right now!"
Ru Feng nodded and said, "Alright."
So, they mounted their horses, bowed to each other in a gesture of deference, and then calmed down.
Ru Feng took the spear from the soldier, who shouted and immediately thrust it forward. Like the rising sun, like lightning, it came rushing towards him with lightning speed.
With a gentle smile, Ru Feng deftly deflected the powerful attack, neutralizing it completely.
Ru Feng shouted, "My turn!" As she spoke, her spear never faltered; she thrust left and parried right, swept horizontally and thrust vertically, her spear moving like an unstoppable raging sea. Her stance on horseback was steady, and her movements were indeed incredibly fast.
The burly man was able to block a few moves at first, but later he couldn't keep up with Ru Feng's speed and was frantically blocking. Ru Feng thought the time was right and shouted, "Go down!" He thrust his spear down, the spear swirling and sweeping a silver light through the air, instantly knocking the burly man to the muddy ground.
The burly man immediately jumped up and said, "I admire you!" Then he bowed his head and returned to the crowd.
As Ru Feng, holding a long spear, sat majestically on his horse, glanced at the crowd, and asked, "Who else is coming?"
The crowd was completely silent for a long time before someone finally spoke up: "This humble one would like to test his skills against the elder."
Ru Feng smiled and agreed, "Okay, who else?"
"I...I want to have a swordsmanship contest with you, sir." "Me too." "Me!" "..." All nine people who had stepped forward earlier now stepped forward, while the rest remained observing.
Ru Feng jumped off his horse and laughed, "Let's all go together. It'll be more lively with more people, and it'll save us time too."
"But we use different weapons," someone said weakly.
Ru Feng glared coldly: "When it's wartime, do you have to care what weapons others use?"
The person probably realized they had said something wrong, so they stopped talking.
Ru Feng chuckled, her icy expression melting away, leaving people amazed at how quickly she could change her demeanor.
"Come on, let's go all out!" Ru Feng rubbed his hands together, excitedly staring at the crowd.
Yang Hu stood next to Zhong Ying, frowning, and said, "Why does Ru Feng seem so happy?"
Zhong Ying frowned and remained silent, only glancing into the shadows.
Yang Bao glanced at them with disinterest; what a boring bunch!
"Grab your weapons." Ru Feng lowered his eyes, trying to calm himself down. "Come at me all at once."
The crowd stirred up again, forming a circle around Ru Feng and the other challengers.
The melee began, and Ru Feng wielded her spear with incredible speed and precision, leaving no opening for the nine men to get close. As time went on, some of them grew impatient, and their blows became even more forceful.
Ru Feng chuckled inwardly, saying, "Is that all you've got?"
Provoked by her, everyone turned their knives and swords towards Ru Feng.
Ru Feng's hand remained still as he targeted a man, shouting, "You! Get out!" Without waiting for a reaction, he swiftly withdrew his spear and slapped the man across the back. The man cried out in pain, and Ru Feng kicked him in the ribs. "Get out!"
