Although Luo Kun had not delivered a killing blow, causing the fight to drag on, those who understood combat knew the truth. If this were a real battlefield, Pan Hua would already be dead. No enemy ever misses a chance to kill.
"That is enough." Yan Hongyi saw it clearly too. When he felt it was sufficient, he spoke decisively, "Pan Hua loses this round."
Other soldiers watching nearby looked confused. "Sir?"
Yan Hongyi raised a hand slightly to stop them. He looked only at Pan Hua. "Pan Hua, do you admit it?"
Pan Hua gave a bitter smile. "I admit it. I lost. Although we were just entangled just now, if we were true enemies, I would have lost my life long ago."
Yan Hongyi nodded. Pan Hua had not disappointed him. As a true soldier, winning is winning, and losing is losing. If one cannot accept defeat, one should not compete. Since they competed, one must accept the loss.
"Next is shooting." Yan Hongyi waved his hand. A guard nearby quickly organized people to prepare. Five bottles were placed at specific distances: ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters, and two hundred meters. Yan Hongyi said, "Each of you has five bullets. Whoever hits more targets wins."
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "Okay. But I think resting for twenty minutes is better. I don't like taking unfair advantages." Since she had already offended them, she didn't mind if her words made them angry.
"Are you so confident you can beat our Pan Hua?" Yan Hongyi looked at Zhu Yanyi with curiosity. She wondered if she was a disciple of Old Man Yao or Old Man Chun. But Old Man Yao was good at medicine, and Old Man Chun at martial arts. Neither fit shooting. So she dropped the idea, not realizing she had missed the truth.
Zhu Yanyi smiled and shook her head. "It is not about confidence in winning or losing. I said I don't like taking unfair advantages. Instructor Pan just fought Luo Kun. Her energy is strong but likely chaotic. This chaos can cause wrong judgments and shooting errors. Of course, the chance is very small. With Instructor Pan's experience, such problems won't happen. But even if the chance is small, I don't like taking unfair advantages. For me, a contest is a contest. It must be fair. No matter how small the chance, I won't bully someone by relying on luck. I would rather lose fairly later than take advantage now."
"Is this fake nobility? Didn't you hear the military strategy? One should pursue victory." Yan Hongyi said directly.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Hongyi calmly. "If it were a life-and-death fight, I would pursue victory. But don't forget, this is a contest. Since it is a contest, Instructor Pan is only my opponent, not my enemy. Since she is not my enemy, I must treat her fairly. This is my gentlemanly conduct.
Commander, please remember one thing. This is just a contest. In ancient terms, it is merely an exchange of skills. Not in a life-and-death place, I show my gentlemanly conduct. If in a life-and-death place, I would not give enemies any chance to breathe. I am not a fool. Giving hope to others in a life-and-death situation is foolish. Now, my behavior is called gentlemanly conduct."
