Abandoned Princesses
Four Seasons Competition (3)

On the opposite side, Qiao Lan was already ready to hold his sword which he used to use in competitions. He smiled confidently and raised his hand. Instantly, the entire place was filled with the cheers of the spectators. It was very different from when Qiao Rong took the stage.

The referee shouted a start. But both have not moved.

"Are you ready, brother?"

"certain." Qiao Rong replied with his biggest smile.

"Sister will be kind, please sister go forward." Seeing Princess Lan getting ready to use the defensive technique, a mocking cry from the entire audience was immediately aimed at Qiao Rong.

Qiao Rong smiled again. He was certainly not so generous as to let a golden opportunity like this be missed. And Qiao Rong started swinging his whip.

*****

There was only one proper word for the match just now. Embarrassing. Too embarrassing.

Qiao Rong had already warned Princess Lan on her visit to Yun Pavilion, yet it seemed that the girl paid him no heed at all. Stupidly, he only used Bronze-ranked survival techniques when facing the lash of Qiao Rong.

In one lash, Qiao Lan had already been made to float about a meter from where it had originally been. The left side of his clothes affected by the lash was even torn and showed his waist which was now bleeding due to the lash incision.

The audience was shocked to hold their breath. Let alone the Emperor's already uncontrollable expression, his mouth was wide open looking at it.

Princess Lan seemed to be in great shock, it was hard to accept what had just happened to her. But the pain running through his body finally resuscitated him. Princess Lan instantly could not control her emotions, being humiliated in front of the entire audience like that, who could accept it?

The expression of the mocking smile that was painted on Princess Lan's face was completely erased. Now, there was only an angry expression, like his whole body was controlled by an angry rage. And he shot forward swinging his sword at Qiao Rong.

But who can think? Even before Princess Lan's sword swing approached Qiao Rong's strands of hair, the girl had already disappeared from sight. Was that sword swing hard to avoid by Qiao Rong who mastered the Legendary Level Thousand Feet Technique? Sure didn't.

Qiao Rong who was suddenly already behind Princess Lan's body instantly whipped the girl's right leg. Princess Lan immediately let out a screech, as fresh blood began to flow in her right leg.

The audience was astonished, The princess they had always been proud of was even inferior to the Princess whom they had once ridiculed for not having a protective spirit. When recalling the ridiculing cheers they made just a moment ago, it felt so embarrassing. But Qiao Lan still maintained her pride and still darted towards Qiao Rong even with one limp leg.

The intensity of the match is now increasing. Previously, if the match between Liu Liwei and Huang Zhong was like a match of the same level, then the match this time was much different. Like a fight against one side.

Not only had Qiao Lan approached, yet another whip Qiao Rong had already hit Princess Lan's left arm.

And again, and again.

Neither the audience nor the Emperor could hear the heart-wrenching screech every time a whip was heard. Moreover, Princess Lan's clothes were currently not worth wearing and drenched in blood.

"Be careful, don't hit her face." Li Junyan's.

"Of course." Qiao Rong smiled. How could he let his beloved brother lose his most valuable asset?

But Princess Lan was not willing to give up, she immediately let out her protective spirit. Instantly, from his blood-filled palm came a lotus flower made of ice.

The lotus flower immediately let out pointy ice-ice that shot out in all directions. Of course Qiao Rong had prepared himself to face the mainstay of the ice lotus flower. Qiao Rong immediately prepared his flagship technique as well. Steel Body Technique.

Qiao Rong knew the truth about that ice lotus from Lan Long. Actually that lotus was just a middle-tier protective spirit in the spirit world. But in the human world, the ice lotus flower is treated as a high-level protective spirit due to its mysterious and elegant appearance.

Facing such a protective spirit, Qiao Rong did not have to bother relying on his guardian spirit. Moreover, Princess Lan's protective spirit attack could be faced with a Gold Level technique alone.

Everyone was busy being stunned, and finally came to a realization when Princess Lan was whipped one last time, before she was sprawled on the stage floor just like the jaguar Huang Zhong had.

*****

The match made the mindset of the people and the Emperor change towards Qiao Rong. Since they did not know the truth regarding the ice lotus flower, naturally Qiao Rong was considered a genius whose technique could not even be penetrated by the ice lotus flower. That is because the protective spirit that is not at the highest level, cannot speak in the sweetness of the human world. Only protective spirits that were of high strength and were at the highest level like Lan Long and Bai Lao could freely speak in the human world.

The last thing that stunned the Emperor was the sight of Princess Lan being transported by a stretcher. Today he wants his daughter who is the disgrace of a dead family, why the opposite?

But the Emperor was an intelligent person, he immediately congratulated Qiao Rong and clapped his hands to show his pride. It was certainly to get on Qiao Rong's good side. To replace the bad things he had done to the girl. If only he knew Qiao Rong was a genius long ago, would he treat him like that?

But the current Qiao Rong was not the same Qiao Rong who would smile happily when praised by his father for a embroidery. Right now, in that body there was only the nature of Li Wenhua who thirsted for revenge.

However, the match against Princess Lan was not the last match that Qiao Rong would face. There is still a final he has to wait for. Verily Qiao Rong was very curious about who to face.

The first round held from morning until noon was over, and the second round was about to begin. The draw number is again distributed to each participant which now only amounts to half of the total participants in the first round.

After the second half began, Qiao Rong re-analyzed the next matches with Li Junyan's comments.

"Who do you think your next opponent is?" Asked Li Junyan.

"Should Liu Liwei. The guy's pretty dodgy." Qiao Rong replied briefly.

Li Junyan nodded. He also did not expect that the man would put poison in his two guardian spirit horns. The method is quite unique. Li Junyan had to give praise for that idea.

Qiao Rong thought so. I can't wait to get back on stage for the second time.

Especially with the views of the people around him now. Everything was the sight of a sycophant who saw a precious treasure. Qiao Rong had seen this kind of scene quite often in his old life with his status as the Great Miss of the Wuling Sect.

Moreover, the aunt who had invited him to speak, now looked at him from there with a look of not wearing.

Finally Qiao Rong's wish was granted, about two hours later, the Four Seasons Competition was already at the end of the event.

"Qiao Rong's! Fight, Liu Liwei!"

Once the name was shouted, once again the entire corner of the place was filled with cheers and loud applause from the spectators.

Qiao Rong knew, it was for this match that he was preparing his whip swing in the waiting room earlier. An opponent to worry about. Qiao Rong could only hope that he would not need to take out Lan Long or Bai Lao in this round.

Qiao Rong clasped his whip again and climbed onto the stage.

On the opposite side, Liu Liwei folded his hands together on his chest and bowed his body. Qiao Rong did the same.

Aba-aba began to shout, and the two of them started to dart to attack.
