?Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Shocking (3)_1 Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Shocking (3)_1 Lin Ziyin observed everyone’s attitudes. Without revealing her insights, she continued, “Anyone who stands against you is your enemy. What if one day the Tatars are here, or bandits come up? What’s the point of being scared? Is there anyone among you who dares to practice against them?”
The villagers looked at each other, but none of them spoke.
“I’ll give it a try.” The first to speak was Wu Dayou.
Lin Ziyin nodded, “The first one.”
“I’ll be the second.” Lin Changshu also stepped forward. He was actually terrified, looking at the formidable appearance of the opponents, but he did not want to see his sister’s disappointed face, so he gritted his teeth and stepped up.
“I’m in too.” Wu Dali also stood out.
“Let me try too.” Bai Erzhuang chuckled as he stepped up, followed by Bai Dazhuang and Wu Erli. They were the first ones who began practicing with Lin Ziyin.
“Any more?” Lin Ziyin asked.
“Maybe I should try too, but I haven’t been training for long. I may not be good enough.” A villager hesitated and stepped forward.
“Liang Zi, you’re big. You can do it.” Lou Zheng spoke approvingly.
No more villagers stepped forward!
Si Jinhan glanced at her, mocking, “Little girl, no one came out. Why don’t you try yourself?”
“If you insist, then count me in too.” Lin Ziyin responded calmly.
“You’re insane.” Zige stepped up, trying to dissuade her as Guo Huiniang turned pale. Both of them had never witnessed Lin Ziyin engaged in actual combat, so observing the soldiers, who looked imposing like a tower of iron, and comparing them to Lin Ziyin’s petite figure, it was impossible for them not to worry.
“The remaining two, you’re up.” Lin Ziyin pointed at Fang Cao and the one from the Shuanzhu family.
“Me?” The one from the Shuanzhu family seemed scared.
However, Lin Ziyin didn’t give her a chance to back away and stepped forward herself, “Divide into two groups, each side should have five people. In the first round, our side will be Brother Dayou, Bai Erzhuang, Brother Dali, and my brother.”
“Quick to decide.” Si Jinhan praised her jovially, then promptly selected his five soldiers.
“Whichever side manages to land three strikes on the opponent will be victorious. Actions that can cause injury to the opponent are prohibited.” Chu Suifeng announced the rules of the competition with a cold voice.
Villagers naturally retreated to outside the arena, making space in the middle.
“Let’s get started.” Wu Dayou said to his opponent, his face solemn.
“Just use what I taught you.” Lin Ziyin spoke calmly, then her body began to move.
She was the only woman on the field, and her opponent was a tall and dark man.
Seeing her petite and delicate figure, and realizing she was a woman, the man didn’t take her seriously.
However, he had not expected Lin Ziyin to act suddenly. Seeing her approach, he became somewhat defensive.
Lin Ziyin’s moves were strategic, she swiftly grabbed her opponent’s wrist, then to everyone’s astonishment, she performed a spectacular move that dazzled all onlookers.
“Snap.” She used her opponent’s own momentum, felling the robust man with a shoulder throw.
The burly man was stunned as he was effortlessly tossed down by her.
“Capture Hand.” Zige exclaimed in excitement. Her concern was for the three relatives in the field, but she was most worried about Lin Ziyin. It turned out that the most impressive was Lin Ziyin.
“Again.” The big man felt utterly humiliated but he didn’t think Lin Ziyin was formidable, rather he felt it was his negligence that had allowed her to catch him off guard.
But no matter how cautious he became, it didn’t help. Lin Ziyin had practiced countless times in modern times. Even when she wanted to laze around, her stepmother and sister would send people to bother her from time to time, so she had no choice but to learn the Self-Defense Art.
