Chapter 704: Martial Arts Performance (VII)
In the martial arts arena, male and female officials sat at separate seats, and the emperor Baili Hongxuan sat in the main seat.

At this moment, Baili Hongxuan occasionally glanced at the line of female officials, passing by the heartless woman who was chatting happily with others.

Su Youyue picked up the snacks on the table, occasionally glancing at the man and son.

Today is the first day of the martial arts competition, but before it officially begins, there will be technology displays from the three kingdoms. The other two countries are striving to shine this time and not be crushed by Dasheng as they did before.

The first to come up and demonstrate were the people from Nanlin.

"Your Majesty, I came to Dasheng to participate in the martial arts competition. I brought you a treasure newly produced in our Nanlin country. Please take a look at it."

Baili Hongxuan straightened his body slightly and raised his hand: "The envoy came from afar and brought gifts. It's really thoughtful."

The man smiled, held the box in both hands, walked forward and opened it in front of everyone.

On the black silk, there was a set of crystal clear glass tea set. Just by looking at the appearance, it was clearly a priceless masterpiece.

The man looked proud: "Your Majesty, our treasure is not natural glass, but is made by fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the people of Da Sheng around him start talking, and his expression couldn't help but become even more arrogant.

Although Nanlin Kingdom has been relying on Dasheng for development over the years, there is no one in the world who is willing to be inferior to others. Nanlin Kingdom also wants to take advantage of this martial arts competition to showcase its most advanced technology and secretly dampen the arrogance of Dasheng Kingdom.

But after a while, a boy suddenly stood up and said, "Hahaha, isn't this just glass? It's just made of a pile of sand. How can you treat it as a treasure? You are too backward."

When the man heard someone mocking him, he looked over subconsciously with displeasure, and saw a boy with delicate appearance. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a transparent glass cup in the boy's hand.

Xie Xiaobao felt uncomfortable when he heard the man's tone, as if he was provoking him. Of course, he was not polite at this time: "Why are you still burning this kind of green glass? We have been able to burn transparent glass for a long time."

He also knew that the reason why this green glass was produced was because there were too many impurities in the raw materials, a problem that had long been overcome by the craftsmen in their workshop.

The other Da Sheng people around couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Nanlin Kingdom was really going to show off something, but they didn't expect it to be glass.

Ever since Dasheng’s glass workshop was completed some time ago, many aristocratic homes have been using transparent glass windows.

The officials of Nanlin Kingdom turned red and then pale. They didn't expect that Dasheng already had the technology to make colored glaze. They really lost face today!

So he could only smile bitterly: "It seems that today I have made a fool of myself in front of Your Majesty, or Shengguo's technology is still far ahead."

After saying this, he cupped his hands and quickly asked people to present the pearls, corals and other treasures that had been prepared in advance.

Even though they wanted to suppress Dasheng in private, they did not dare to really offend the current Dasheng.

Upon seeing this, Dong Rong fell silent and presented a bunch of ordinary treasures.

They know their own limitations. Dongrong's technology and craftsmanship are far inferior to Dasheng's. It would be better for them to use their strong physical advantages to stand out in the competition.

However, on the first day of the competition, the children's competition was arranged at the front, so that everyone could watch the excitement first.

Although it was not the highlight, it was the first time that the Three Kingdoms sent children and teenagers to compete. The adults all valued children, and everyone wanted their children to win.

Xie Xiaobao patted his chest in front of his mother and went up like a little adult.

For the same competition events, the tools used, such as bows and arrows, and spears, are divided into those for children and adults.

The only difference is that the swords used by children are made of wood, and the heads of the spears and arrows are made of wax to avoid hurting people.

Today's Dasheng values ​​both civil and military affairs, and children also start learning martial arts at a young age. It is no longer like before when they could only be insulted by Dongrong.

Xie Xiaobao came up and knocked down three children one after another. He was in high spirits and glanced at everyone sharply.

Although he didn't say anything, his aura and momentum were very similar to his father, and he didn't look like an eight-year-old child at all.

The most important thing is that the other children of Dasheng are not pushovers either. After a round of competition, it was almost always the children of Dasheng who won. Many people from Dongrong and Nanlin countries were so angry that their faces turned green.

Whether the adults can win is another matter, but the children’s loss was too tragic. Doesn’t it seem to be saying that the younger generations of Dongrong and Nanlin will not be able to compare with the younger generations of Dasheng in the future?
Looking at Xie Xiaobao's majestic appearance, Shangguan Yu was not convinced.

He stepped forward in his black boots with cloud-embroidered gold, sneering, "Xie Xiaobao, don't be too arrogant. We in Dongrong have always been strong in horseback archery. Come and compete with me later!"

Xie Xiaobao narrowed his eyes and was speechless.

Isn't it because this guy is afraid of getting beaten to a pulp that he doesn't dare to participate in the martial arts competition and only dares to compete in horseback archery? Wait for him!

Shangguan Yu was not afraid either. He picked up the bow and arrow in his hand and said coldly, "It's too boring to shoot at the target directly. Xie Xiaobao, why don't we have a competition? We use the apple on the top of a person's head as a target and replace the arrow with an iron arrowhead. How about that?"

Xie Xiaobao sneered, "That's it?"

Do you know that he has been trained like this since he was a child?

Shangguan Yu was annoyed by Xie Xiaobao's attitude.

The apple was shot into two halves, and the man was the target. Does Xie Xiaobao have the courage to do that?

"Xie Xiaobao, don't be so confident."

Xie Xiaobao was not a coward, but why should he do whatever Shangguan Yu said? A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips: "Then I will also make a request, you be the human target, and I will shoot..."

Shangguan Yu was stunned for a moment. He never expected Xie Xiaobao to make such a request.

Ah Si behind him frowned immediately: "How can our prince, who is a daughter of a rich family, ..."

Xie Xiaobao sneered sarcastically, "Why, Shangguan Yu, you don't dare?"

"There is nothing I dare not do. However... since we are guests, you have not fulfilled your duty as a host. You must let me come first."

Shangguan Yu immediately thought of a bad idea. He himself didn't dare to do it, but would Xie Xiaobao dare to do it?
Xie Xiaobao brought up these things so arrogantly, he wanted to make Xie Xiaobao cry.

Let’s see if Xie Xiaobao dares to be so arrogant again!
"Okay."

The two of them had already talked to this point, and it would seem embarrassing for the adults around them if they didn't agree first, so in the end they had to compromise and let someone choose the heavier iron arrowhead.

Although you won't lose your life, getting shot is no small matter.

Xie Xiaobao stood there calmly, and soon someone brought an apple and placed it on his head.

He waited for Shangguan Yu to shoot.

Shangguan Yu took the bow and arrow, but a sinister look flashed across his lips.

Xie Xiaobao is too stupid. Isn't he afraid that he will use dirty tricks?
As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt an extremely cold gaze coming from above.

He looked back and saw that it was Xie Xiaobao's father. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The arrow that was originally intended to hit Xie Xiaobao in the face and disfigure him actually went off target, extremely far, and missed Xie Xiaobao by a foot.

"Now it's your turn to be the target!"

Xiao Yuanbao, who had been watching from the side, spoke coldly.

Because Shangguan Yu used despicable means to deal with Wuyun Baiyun, he had no good feelings towards him at all.

Xie Xiaobao walked forward and took the bow that Shangguan Yu had just used directly from the guard's hand.

Shangguan Yu stood there and Xie Xiaobao took aim.

but……

Xie Xiaobao was not aiming at the apple on his head, but at Shangguan Yu's eyes. Shangguan Yu noticed the cruelty in Xie Xiaobao's eyes.

"Xie Xiaobao, what do you mean by this?"

The rule of their game is to shoot apples. He aims at his eyes. If the apple hits him, his eyes will be blinded!
Xie Xiaobao didn't listen at all. Shangguan Yu would never let Xie Xiaobao do that.

The moment he took a step forward, Xie Xiaobao drew his bow and fired—

The long arrow whizzed towards him, and Shangguan Yu couldn't dodge it in time. He was so scared that he couldn't help but scream.
