Chapter 177: Chapter 177: National Championship Finals (5)

By the time Murong Qiqi finished explaining the concept of "proposal" to Wanyan Kang, the competition on the field had reached its climax. Bai Yiyue's swordsmanship now had a hint of bravery compared to her earlier modesty, allowing her to be more unrestrained.

In contrast, it seemed that Ruyi was "afraid" of Bai Yiyue after being slapped by her. To avoid provoking her again and inexplicably being labeled a "rogue" and publicly slapped, Ruyi only countered each of her moves without attacking and adopted a conservative defense strategy.
