Chapter 248: Tang Bingyan

I saw a young woman wearing a Dark Guard uniform walk out of the team and come to the stage confidently.

"You want to challenge me?" Little Bean Sprout was somewhat embarrassed.

"You do have some skills, but I have the confidence to defeat you." The young woman said.

"But... I don't want to hit women..."

He waved his hands repeatedly: "How about we forget it?"

"You look down on me?"

The young woman's willow eyebrows stood up, and a flash of ferocity flashed in her eyes: "Don't use this as an excuse; in fact, you are afraid that losing to me will be embarrassing, right?"

"No... I don't have this meaning, and I don't look down on you!"

Little Bean Sprout explained very seriously when he saw the other party was angry: "It's just that my mother taught me since I was a child that I can't move my hands against women..."

"Less nonsense!"

The young woman didn't care about so much and directly pulled out her sword and stabbed at the young man in front of her.

She didn't believe that there was anyone on the arena who could be beaten passively without fighting back.

However, to her surprise, Little Bean Sprout actually didn't fight back, only dodging the other party's attacks left and right on the stage.

And she couldn't get close to the other party for more than ten rounds.

"Damn it, stop looking down on people!"

The young woman became more and more annoyed: "Do you dare to have a fair fight with me?"

"No!"

Little Bean Sprout shook his head like a rattle while dodging: "I have my principles."

"Then what if you are performing a task? You don't hit women either?" The young woman was angered into laughter.

"That's different, enemies have no gender, only life and death."

Little Bean Sprout still had his own reasoning and never let go.

But in these ten rounds of chasing and dodging, everyone under the stage could see that Little Bean Sprout's strength was far above the young woman's.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the other party attack and still be able to dodge with ease.

"Hmph, I won't admit defeat!"

The young woman was unwilling, the sword flowers in her hands flying, trying to win by speed, but by the time her physical strength was almost exhausted, she still couldn't touch the corner of the other party's clothes.

"Damn!"

She became more and more angry, her emotions agitated, and she used all her strength to try to defeat Little Bean Sprout.

Suddenly, she discovered that the young man in front of her didn't notice that he had reached the edge of the arena while retreating, and if he retreated a few more steps, he would fall off the high platform.

The young woman was secretly happy; this was a good opportunity for her!

According to the arena rules, as long as Little Bean Sprout falls down, this competition counts as her win.

She was emotionally agitated, waving the sword in her hand and pressing step by step, and in the blink of an eye, she forced the young man in front of her back a few steps.

"Just now!"

The young woman's eyes lit up; as long as he retreated one more step, the other party would fall off the high platform.

This scene made everyone under the stage terrified, and they all held their breath nervously, staring at the two who had reached the edge of the high platform without blinking.

"Heh, the captain position is mine!"

The young woman raised her eyebrows proudly, raised her hand, and stabbed the sword directly into the young man's chest in front of her.

If he didn't want to get hurt, he only had the choice of falling off the high platform.

However, just as the young woman felt she was sure of victory and revealed a winner's smile, the young man who had originally stood in front of her suddenly disappeared.

"What's going on?" The young woman was startled; did she see things? The person was just in front of her, how could he suddenly disappear.

And just at this time, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Are you looking for me?"

She turned her head abruptly and found Little Bean Sprout standing behind her, and the distance was extremely close; the other party only needed to move a little, and his lips could touch the tip of her nose.

"Ah!" The young woman screamed and subconsciously took a step back, instantly falling off the stage.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

"Su Jinchen successfully defended the arena!" A Wei announced the result expressionlessly.

"My god, I never thought it would be this result..." After a moment of silence, the audience started to boil again.

"Little Bean Sprout said he wouldn't hit women, and he really didn't make a move!"

"Looking at it this way, his constant retreating was also intentional; the speed of his turn just now was too fast, I didn't see it clearly under the stage."

"I underestimated him before, he really has some skills."

But anyone who knows a little bit knows that this kind of only defending and not attacking is very testing for a martial artist's basic skills; if it weren't for the huge gap in strength, Little Bean Sprout couldn't have dug a hole for the other party after the other party attacked for more than a hundred rounds and be unscathed himself.

But even though they knew Little Bean Sprout's strength had improved by leaps and bounds, there were still many unconvinced people who went on the arena one after another to challenge him.

Especially the members of the fifth squad, because they were dissatisfied with their captain being kicked off the arena by Little Bean Sprout, they all went on stage to challenge him under the name of avenging their captain, but the results were all the same as the fifth squad captain, being kicked off the arena by Little Bean Sprout.

After the last team member of the fifth squad was also kicked off the stage, the ordinary members of other squads didn't want to humiliate themselves by going up to challenge him.

And Dark Guards like Qiao Mu, Chen Xiaoxiao, etc., whose strength rankings had always been at the forefront, had their goals on the Commander position, so naturally, they had no interest in competing with Little Bean Sprout.

Just when the arena competition was in full swing, Xu Tian lowered his voice and asked A Wei, who was standing beside him.

"A Wei, is the appointment of your Commander and captain every year based on who is stronger?"

"Yes." A Wei nodded.

"But..." Xu Tian stopped talking.

This appointment method seems fair, but it is not scientific.

After all, people with strong strength are not necessarily able to be good leaders; some people are naturally suitable for decision-making, and some people are naturally suitable for combat.

If it relies purely on strength, then the person standing at the very top must be the strongest, but not necessarily a good leader.

"Mr. Xu, among the Tang family Dark Guards, the selection of leaders has always been like this."

A Wei seemed to have guessed what Xu Tian wanted to ask, so he explained: "And this rule was set by the Young Lady."

"Bingyan set it?" Xu Tian was slightly startled.

He originally thought this was the Tang family's rule, and Tang Bingyan just continued to use this rule after becoming the family head, and didn't expect that this rule was actually set by her.

"That's right." A Wei nodded slightly.

"But, in this case, then the winner must be the person with the strongest strength, that's right, but people with strong strength are not necessarily suitable to be leaders and assign tasks to other Dark Guards... and if this winner is not loyal enough to the Tang family, wouldn't he mess up the Dark Guard team?"

Xu Tian raised his concerns.

A Wei smiled faintly upon hearing this: "Actually, when I first learned that the Young Lady made this decision, I was also startled, but slowly I understood her true intention."

"Mr. Xu, the people who can become Tang family Dark Guards are all one in a thousand masters, and most of the tasks they perform are dangerous life-and-death missions."

"They say geniuses always have some quirks and are hard to get along with, so do you think the relationships between these Dark Guards will be harmonious?" ===== CHAPTER 249 =====
