Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 524 Savage Crash
"nice shot!"

The dying eighth prince sat up in shock, then suddenly sat up and clapped loudly.

Li Xuan and Yu'er also followed suit and applauded Princess Ankang, clapping non-stop.

But the applause from the three people seemed a little empty in the huge stadium without any spectators.

The players on the field and the attendants off the field were all in a daze, and did not respond for a long time.

Even Duke Hu was stunned and looked at Princess Ankang in doubt.

Compared to the previous Chongyang Banquet, he clearly found that Princess Ankang's strength had reached a new level.

What's even more terrifying is that Duke Hu couldn't sense any martial arts skills from Princess Ankang at all.

"Is this what you call being weak and sickly since childhood?"

Thinking of other people's comments on Princess Ankang at the last Double Ninth Festival banquet, the veins on Duke Hu's forehead couldn't help but jump.

When he turned around and looked at his silly grandson who was just sitting on the ground clapping and cheering, Duke Hu became furious.

Duke Hu walked directly behind the Eighth Prince, then hit him hard on the head and cursed:
"You guys are addicted to being a spectator, aren't you?"

"Hurry up and get up and play football!"

The eighth prince was so beaten that tears came to his eyes.

This was an instinctive reaction to the severe pain, and even he couldn't control it.

"Oh--"

The eighth prince stretched out the last syllable and reluctantly got up from the ground.

However, when he passed by Duke Hu, his eyes couldn't help but look full of resentment.

After all, he was kicked so badly on the Cuju field today, all thanks to his grandfather.

"What are you?"

Duke Hu waved his hand, and the Eighth Prince was so frightened that he ran away in panic.

At this moment, when Princess Ankang discovered that she had broken the door, the whole place fell silent.

Although she was puzzled, she still raised her hands and shouted to her teammates:

"Okay~~~"

Princess Ankang's little face looked rosy due to the intense exercise, and had the most natural blush on it.

How can one not be filled with love for such a delicate little beauty with such a lovely posture?

Especially for Jiang Ying and others who were hit directly, their heartbeats couldn't help but speed up a bit, and their chests felt warm, as if they were about to melt.

"My lord, Your Highness Princess..."

“You are awesome!”

Jiang Ying said sincerely, and the others nodded in agreement.

Princess Ankang thought her teammates were praising her ball skills, and she showed a cute and proud smile, which stunned everyone.

Jiang Ying and others rushed past the crowd to Princess Ankang to celebrate for her, and asked many questions.

"Your Highness is so good, do you play Cuju often?"

"Your Highness, you are very agile. Your cultivation must be pretty good, right?"

"I didn't expect you to have such strength at such a young age. You must have practiced very hard every day."

"We are pretty good at playing Cuju. I wonder if we will have the opportunity to practice with Her Royal Highness the Princess in private in the future."

The four female generals from the same team surrounded Princess Ankang and asked her a lot of questions.

If it weren't for Princess Ankang's identity, I'm afraid I would have touched Princess Ankang's little face.

The other two young male generals were isolated and could only watch.

The two of them were not idle either. They were whispering and analyzing the difficulty of Princess Ankang's shot just now.

They seemed to have some disagreement and started arguing.

"Bullshit, it must be a backspin ball, is there any need to ask?"

"Hongchuiqiao plays all the balls with backspin, they don't know anything about Cuju."

"You're talking bullshit. The ball just now was kicked upside down. It must be kicked in the opposite direction."

"When you talk to me about Cuju, can you use your brain first?"

After listening to the argument between the two men, Li Xuan felt speechless.

“There’s a huge difference between what men and women focus on…”

At this time, the Eighth Prince saw that the team atmosphere was very good, so he thought of taking advantage of the situation and sneaking into the celebrating team.

The two young generals arguing on the periphery did not notice the Eighth Prince, but when the Eighth Prince wanted to get close to Princess Ankang, he found that he could not do it at all.

He found that he couldn't squeeze into the encirclement of the four female generals no matter how hard he tried, so he could only nod and cheer in agreement from the outside.

It would have been fine if the Eighth Prince hadn't said anything, but as soon as he spoke he was discovered by Jiang Ying.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince, who had pretended to be dead for a long time, dared to show up again and even approached them, Jiang Ying immediately wanted to secretly deal with him.

"Sister General, please stop bullying my starling, okay?"

"He's almost been kicked silly?"

"I don't want a stupid starling."

Princess Ankang said pitifully.

Seeing Princess Ankang pleading for the Eighth Prince, Jiang Ying and others immediately softened their hearts and felt that Princess Ankang was sensible and well-behaved, unlike some irresponsible and shameless people.

In the end, Jiang Ying did not make things too difficult for the Eighth Prince out of Princess Ankang's consideration.

At least it's not as blatant as before.

It was impossible to expect Jiang Ying to treat the Eighth Prince well. Several people treated the Eighth Prince as a transparent person and chose to ignore him.

But even so, it was enough to make the Eighth Prince breathe a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to surround himself with enemies like before.

Seeing that Jiang Ying and the others had the potential to work together, Princess Ankang immediately boosted their morale and prepared to win today's game first.

No matter what, at least let the Eighth Prince and Jiang Ying have a good start so that their relationship can be gradually eased.

The others naturally understood Princess Ankang's intentions, but no one blamed her. Some even thought she was considerate and kind, and that she cared about her useless brother who was a hindrance.

But the Eighth Prince didn't care about that. He was happy as long as no one kicked him anymore.

"Hey hey hey..."

The eighth prince was still happy here, but the other side had already quietly started the game.

The ball suddenly hit the arms of the grinning Eighth Prince.

"The ball is in Lao Ba's arms!"

The third prince, who kicked the ball, shouted viciously.

The eighth prince reacted immediately and kicked the ball away.

But no matter how fast he moved, he couldn't stop the disaster from happening.

The man on the opposite side had already rushed towards the Eighth Prince with a ferocious expression, and he bumped into him head-on without any reaction.

The eighth prince turned around and ran, but someone stronger than him knocked him down first.

A group of people rolled around in a ball, and finally a group of figures rolled out of the field and headed straight for Duke Hu's feet.

Duke Hu raised his foot to stop the "ball" and looked at the Eighth Prince whose face was covered with footprints, and shook his head.

He then casually pushed the "ball" aside, not caring at all.

The twelve young generals on the field were carefully selected by Duke Hu, who specifically instructed them to "take good care" of the Eighth Prince.

If the Eighth Prince wants to take up his responsibilities again, he must gain the trust of these people.

Duke Hu knows his own grandson best.

The eighth prince does not have the ability to win the support of the people.

In this case, we can only let him experience some hardship and integrate into the army in this down-to-earth way.

Otherwise, once the wrong tone is set at the beginning, even with the support of Duke Hu, the Eighth Prince will find it difficult to truly win the hearts of the people.

By then, hidden dangers will be laid.

After all, there is someone in the army who is eyeing the personal connections they have.

Duke Hu looked at the Third Prince who was cooperating well with his teammates.

There is no doubt that the Third Prince, who also comes from a noble family background and has worked in the army for many years, is the biggest threat to the Eighth Prince.

During the years when the Eighth Prince was slack, the Third Prince did not slack off for a single day.

Although the third prince had not achieved much, his years of hard work had finally paid off.

At least from now on, many people in the army still agree with the third prince.

With Princess Ankang's outstanding performance, she also received special attention from the opponent. There was someone guarding her at all times. Sometimes there were even two or three people surrounding her, not giving her a chance to receive the ball.

Although Jiang Ying and his team were as strong as their opponents, they were unfortunately lacking one person to coordinate with them and were inevitably at a disadvantage.

Princess Ankang's previous goal was not only due to her strong ability, but more importantly, she caught the opponent off guard.

But now she is under strict surveillance, and it is not easy to have such a good opportunity again.

Gradually, the disadvantage of having fewer people became more and more obvious, and the eldest prince and the third prince finally found an opportunity and cooperated with their teammates to equalize the score.

"nice shot!"

The ball passed through Fengliu's eye, and the eldest prince and others roared and pounded their fists with their teammates in celebration, with high spirits.

In contrast, the morale of Princess Ankang's side was inevitably hit.

"hateful!"

Jiang Ying cursed.

She wanted to show off in front of Princess Ankang, but ended up being tied, which made her very angry.

But no matter how angry Jiang Ying was, the gap in strength was still difficult to make up.

She couldn't help but glance at the Eighth Prince lying at Duke Hu's feet, her face full of disdain.

"If it weren't for that idiot..."

"Sister Ying, we did not provide any support just now." Someone still spoke a fair word for the Eighth Prince.

"Humph, it's all because he's useless. He can't even outrun others."

The others fell silent and didn't say anything more.

The close sisters all knew what was going on between Jiang Ying and the Eighth Prince, and could fully understand Jiang Ying's attitude towards the Eighth Prince at this time.

But at this time, seeing Princess Ankang coming over, Jiang Ying put away her bad attitude and instead felt a little guilty.

They all saw that Princess Ankang was being targeted in defense just now.

Princess Ankang was not used to this direct confrontational Cuju game and was immediately at a disadvantage after several physical confrontations.

The only female general on the opposite side was in charge of guarding Princess Ankang. She was quite powerful and had obvious fluctuations of true energy on her body.

Everyone admires Princess Ankang for being able to fight the enemy several times with her own strength.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry..." Jiang Ying was about to take the blame for their incompetence, but Princess Ankang interrupted her with a smile:

"Sister General, I have a plan that may work."

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Several young generals looked at each other and nodded in unison, not expecting Princess Ankang to have such a good attitude.

"If we keep playing like this, I'm afraid we'll lose."

"But if we can hold on for a while, we may have a chance to win."

"This matter still requires the help of several general sisters and general brothers."

Hearing Princess Ankang calling them "sister" and "brother" all the time, the people in the same team were immediately mesmerized and just nodded repeatedly.

Next, Princess Ankang asked Jiang Ying for advice on how to use physical force, and Jiang Ying was generous in her advice.

"Your Highness, use your back as a shield and place it between your opponent and the ball."

"You can also use your hands to keep your balance during a confrontation and resist the opponent's movements."

"When it comes to defense, you have to do the opposite."

"Don't give the opponent a chance to flip their shield and switch from defense to offense."

"To put it simply, it means not giving the opponent the opportunity to turn around and hold the ball."

“As for grabbing the ball, as long as the first kick touches the ball, it’s considered easy to grab!”

Princess Ankang nodded secretly and wrote down these key points.

While Jiang Ying was teaching, she was also somewhat curious about Princess Ankang's strategy.

As a result, Princess Ankang actually said:
"Everyone, we must be on high alert for the next period of time, and then launch a surprise attack at the last opportunity to secure victory!"

Princess Ankang waved her little fist and spoke confidently.

"But where did this special force come from?"

Several young generals looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But at this point, they could only try their best, at least they didn't want Princess Ankang to lose too badly.

"Your Highness, we will form a defensive formation on our own later."

"The formation requires practice and coordination, and it cannot be mastered immediately."

"How about having Her Royal Highness Princess stay outside the formation to attract defense and relieve our pressure?"

In the end, it was Jiang Ying who helped perfect Princess Ankang's strategy.

In response to this, Princess Ankang naturally nodded repeatedly without any objection.

The game continued, but the scene became dull.

Just like Jiang Ying said, they tried their best to defend and didn't have the slightest desire to attack.

There was only one person left responsible for guarding Princess Ankang, but the ball didn't come towards them at all.

Duke Hu curled his lips, somewhat disappointed with the current situation.

He looked at the Eighth Prince who was lying motionless at his feet and shook his head silently.

Yet in this tense situation, Princess Ankang was smiling and looked confident and calm.

The female player on the opposing team who was responsible for marking her took a few more glances at her.

Under this situation, the eldest prince and the third prince were not in a hurry at all.

As the saying goes, if you defend for too long, you will lose. There will always be a time when opportunities appear.

Even if Jiang Ying and the others managed to hold on to the end, the situation of the game would be enough to determine the winner.

Anyway, it's just an exchange competition. There's no prize for winning and no punishment for losing.

They just need to complete the exchange competition according to the requirements of the imperial edict.

When everyone accepted this ugly situation and let time pass bit by bit, Princess Ankang, who was yawning out of boredom, suddenly pointed outside the venue and exclaimed in surprise.

The female general who was keeping an eye on Princess Ankang subconsciously glanced in the direction Princess Ankang pointed.

But when she looked away, Princess Ankang had disappeared.

The female general turned around suddenly, only to see Princess Ankang's running back.

"Oops!"

The female general didn't have time to think and jumped up to chase Princess Ankang.

As a result, the female general watched Princess Ankang use her not-so-sophisticated martial arts skills to run at an astonishing speed.

"What kind of light skill is this!?"

The female general was so confused that she could only shout a warning:
"careful!"

The other team members who were attacking with all their might heard the warning and looked back in confusion.

At this time, the third prince was holding the ball.

He heard a strange sound of breaking air behind him and was immediately confused.

"Isn't this speed something that can only be achieved by a kicked ball?"

"But the sound seems to be more muffled."

The third prince turned his head slightly, wanting to see what was going on, when suddenly he felt a strong force behind him, and then he felt his feet begin to rise into the air uncontrollably.

As luck would have it, the ball under his feet was as solid as a rock for some reason and tripped him, causing his body to spin rapidly.

shhhhhh...

Everyone was stunned for a moment as they watched the Third Prince, who left an afterimage and ran straight towards Feng Liuyan.

They just saw Princess Ankang launch a brutal charge at the Third Prince, and then the Third Prince took off.

Princess Ankang, who had seized the ball, didn't care where the Third Prince was going. She turned around and kicked the ball, shouting:

"A surprise attack!"

The third prince and the ball flew out to the left and right, and no one knew which one to look at.

But what puzzles everyone even more is, who is the special soldier that Princess Ankang is talking about?

After all, everyone in the stadium was crowded in this half.

The eldest prince, who had no interest in the rapidly spinning third prince and was only staring at the ball, suddenly reacted and ran after the ball while shouting to his teammates:

"Stop him quickly!"

Following the eldest prince's reminder, everyone noticed a figure running out from Duke Hu's feet and heading straight for where the ball landed.

It was the Eighth Prince who had faked his death.

The Eighth Prince gritted his teeth and sprinted forward, but his strength was insufficient and the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing.

At the critical moment, the eighth prince threw his body out, opened his legs like a pair of scissors, and then cut the ball falling in the air hard.

"The surprise troops have arrived!"

"Deadly Scissor Kick!!!"

boom!
Bang, crackle, ahhhh…

The eighth prince encountered a fatal interception, and the muffled sounds and screams were endless.

But the Eighth Prince still kicked the ball at the last moment, and the ball successfully passed through Fengliu's eye.

Of course, the third prince did not have such a smooth life.

His head was stuck in another romantic eye, and his body was swaying in the wind like a sunny doll.

Jiang Ying and the others looked at the Third Prince above their heads, and were all speechless.

With just this one move, the Third Prince is much more miserable than the Eighth Prince, right?

Everyone couldn't believe that the person who bumped into the third prince was the lovely Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang was not aware of the good deed she had done, and even happily opened her arms and cheered:

"Operation success!"

On the other side, the Eighth Prince let out a breath of relief when he saw himself kick the ball in.

"Oh, I didn't expect to be attacked twice in a row."

The eldest prince shook his head and sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

Seeing that the eldest prince was still able to maintain his composure at this moment, the other teammates couldn't help but admire him.

Although it was the first time for everyone to meet the eldest prince, they were all deeply impressed.

Only the Eighth Prince was very unhappy with him and said:

"Brother, can you please get off me first?"

The eighth prince was speechless at the eldest prince who was standing on his belly to show off his grace.

"Hey, Lao Ba, why are you at my feet?"

The eldest prince was surprised, but he had no intention of moving.

"Can you please come down first so we can discuss other issues?"

The Eighth Prince was beaten all day long but was never as angry as he is now.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? If you had said it earlier, I would have come down earlier!"

The eldest prince gestured here and there with his hands but did not move his feet.

The Eighth Prince was immediately so angry that his head turned red.

Several young generals standing nearby immediately understood what was going on and turned around. Without watching the dispute between the two princes, they surrounded them silently, isolating themselves from the outside world.

But after a while, these young generals ran away in fear.

The eldest prince keenly sensed that something was wrong. He looked up and saw Princess Ankang rushing towards him. He immediately jumped three feet away and fled.

"vomit!"

"Li Xian, you better remember this!"

The eighth prince retched, and the next moment he felt his body lighten and was lifted up by someone.

"Myna, are they bullying you?"

The little Princess Ankang picked up the eighth prince with one hand, looking like a big sister who was going to stand up for him.

Princess Ankang immediately pretended to bump into someone, and the eldest prince in the distance was so scared that he quickly called for a stop:

"Oh, stop messing around!"

"Duke Hu has announced that the competition is over."

As the eldest prince spoke, he walked quickly to the side of Duke Hu.

Duke Hu looked at the eldest prince beside him and asked in confusion:

"Did I?"
