Chapter 43 Crazy Competition System

As night falls, the lights are on.

In Yangzhou, people bid farewell to the tranquility of the day and came alive at night. Even in chaotic times, nothing could stop people from admiring handsome men and beautiful women.

The most exciting part of the zither and sword competition came to an end – the dance overtime.

People had been eagerly anticipating this moment for so long. The dance competition between the four stunning beauties finally arrived, and people flocked to the main venue, creating a massive and lively scene.

This time, a magnificent stage was erected in the center of the main venue, surrounded by colorful lights and flowers. Under the night sky, the lights twinkled and shone brightly.

The audience seats were packed, and even the aisles were crowded with people. High-ranking officials and dignitaries sat in the front row, dressed in fine clothes, with expectant smiles on their faces.

Ordinary people stood at the back, tiptoeing, afraid of missing any exciting moment.

As a melodious tune began to play, Du Zhi stepped onto the stage and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the dance extra round! Tonight, we are honored to have invited Qiu Ziyue from the Valley of Passion, Qi Yushuang from the Valley of Heartbreak, Zhao Wanqing from the Valley of Empty Desolation, and Liu Mengdie from the Valley of Resentment. These four beautiful girls, after the preliminary evaluation of the last dance competition, were ranked as follows: Liu Mengdie in fourth place, Zhao Wanqing in third place, Qi Yushuang in second place, and Qiu Ziyue from the Valley of Passion won first place."

But the girls' performance on the dance stage was so spectacular that everyone present wanted more. Therefore, at the suggestion of the judges and the people of Yangzhou, we held this extra round to ensure everyone could enjoy themselves to the fullest. Now, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome our four beautiful girls to the stage!

Amidst thunderous applause, the four beauties took to the stage one by one.

The first to appear was Liu Mengdie, dressed in a bright green dress, like a green leaf in the breeze, fresh and refined.

Next was Zhao Wanqing, who wore a pink silk dress, as beautiful and delicate as a blooming peach blossom.

Then came Qi Yushuang, who wore a light blue dress and resembled a lotus flower in the water, gentle and charming.

Finally, there was Qiu Ziyue, who wore a long purple dress, like a blooming violet, with a leisurely, mysterious and noble temperament.

Four beautiful women stood on the stage, each showcasing their charm.

Doji continued, "The rules of the competition are very simple. Each contestant will perform a dance, which will be scored by the judges and the audience. The contestant with the highest score will become the dance champion of this Qinjian martial arts competition."

Because the previous two competitions had caused a sensation, this time even more high-ranking officials, nobles, and regional warlords and military governors came to watch.

These powerful and wealthy individuals, dressed in magnificent official robes or military attire, sat in the most prominent positions, exuding an air of grandeur.

Their arrival added a touch of solemnity and mystery to the dance competition.

Li Keyong was the Prince of Jin and also the military governor of Hedong. He wore a black battle robe and a black eye patch over one eye, which made him look particularly dignified.

His other eye was sharp as an eagle's, revealing an imposing aura.

He had a long sword hanging at his waist, making him look imposing.

Because of his long years of fighting, his expressions were varied, sometimes his brows were furrowed, and sometimes he showed a cold smile.

He wasn't interested in the dance itself, but rather in observing the reactions of other audience members, especially the attitudes of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

Yang Xingmi, around forty years old, was handsome with a dignified air about him.

He was dressed in a black official robe embroidered with gold thread patterns, which made him look exceptionally noble.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the performance on the stage, with a faint smile on his face.

Although his expression appeared calm, his eyes revealed his high level of attention and anticipation for the performance.

Zhu Yanshou, the military governor of Fengguo Army, was a bit young, around thirty years old.

He wore a blue battle robe and had sharp eyes.

His expression was relatively calm; while watching the performance, he was also observing the surrounding activity.

He wasn't very interested in dancing; he was more focused on how to use this opportunity to expand his influence.

This dance extra-time competition was not only a visual feast, but also an opportunity for the powerful and wealthy to interact with each other.

In the front row of the stands, four dashing young men attracted everyone's attention.

They are the four most handsome men in Yangzhou: Mu Guangcheng, Yin Lihen, Qi Yuxuan, and Chu Yuqiu.

Twilight City still maintained his refined and scholarly demeanor, dressed in a long blue robe, wearing a jade crown, and possessing exquisite features.

Yin Lihen was handsome and dashing, yet he still had a carefree and irreverent air about him. He wore a white robe and gently waved an iron fan in his hand.

Qi Yuxuan, dressed in a light blue robe, exuded a heroic air between his brows, still as aloof and handsome as ever.

Chu Yuqiu always had a gentle smile on her face, which gave people a sense of friendliness.

At that moment, he was intently watching the performance on stage, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

When Qiu Ziyue appeared on stage, a hint of admiration flashed in Yin Lihen's eyes. He seemed to have no room for anyone else in his eyes. He was moved by Qiu Ziyue's temperament.

Meanwhile, on an elegant little building not far away, a mysterious figure quietly watched all of this.

This small building, named "Luming Tower," is a secluded and beautiful place in the city.

Tonight, the owner of Lu Ming Lou is a gentle and refined man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He used to call himself Lu Yuan Changming, after the building.

At this moment, his maid Lin Ruoxi was beside him, having specially prepared this excellent viewing spot for Lu Yuanchangming.

Lin Ruoxi handed Lu Yuanchang a cup of fragrant tea and said softly, "Master, please enjoy your tea."

Lu Yuanchangming accepted the teacup, smiled slightly, and expressed his gratitude.

But his eyes never left the stage.

For Lu Yuanchangming, today was both thrilling and breathtaking, because there were too many traps and conspiracies.

Whether Qiu Ziyue can escape the pit and win the crown is both a test and a risky move, and his heart is in his throat.

Qi Yuxuan, who was watching the performance at that moment, also felt a strange sense of panic. He felt that something was wrong, so he was also highly nervous.

As night deepens and the atmosphere intensifies, the dance overtime competition is about to begin.

The four contestants—Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yushuang, Liu Mengdie, and Zhao Wanqing—stood backstage, each with their own thoughts, waiting for the next round of the competition.

This overtime will determine the final champion, and everyone hopes to win this crucial match.

Qiu Ziyue wanted to fulfill Tao Ling'er's last wish, Liu Mengdie wanted to achieve greater value, Qi Yushuang wanted her beloved to think more highly of her, and Zhao Wanqing wanted to enhance her reputation.

The atmosphere on stage was extremely tense, with makeup artists and costume designers busily making final preparations for the contestants.

The four contestants each sat in their respective backstage dressing rooms, some silently reciting dance steps, others adjusting their breathing, striving to perform at their best during the competition.

At this moment, Doji walked onto the stage and announced some unexpected news: "Based on the opinions of the judging panel, in order to increase the fun and fairness of the competition, we will determine the order of appearance of the four contestants by having them shoot arrows and dance at the same time."

"What?! Such a competition format?! That's insane!" Many audience members stared wide-eyed and gaped in disbelief.

The chief continued, "Each contestant will have three chances to shoot. The contestant with the highest score will be the fourth to go, and so on in reverse order, with the lowest scorer going first."
