They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 178: Valiant Princesses Chapter 178: Valiant Princesses Not a single trace of surprise or humility was visible on his face.

“In the end, skill speaks for itself,” he remarked, voice even and unwavering.

“I am the best at what I do.” His words, though simple, carried the weight of arrogance.

Prince Ankhbayar, standing behind him, clenched his jaw but did not argue.

He had come close, but not close enough.

“Dixan may have won, but this wasn’t a landslide.” “Prince Ankhbayar’s form was elegant, maybe even more so than Ji-ho’s.” “That’s a bold claim, but I see your point.

He didn’t just shoot well, he looked like he belonged there.” Others, particularly supporters of Dixan, tried to downplay the narrow margin.

“In the end, winning is what matters.

Ji-ho didn’t struggle, he just won efficiently.” “Maybe, but it looked like he had to actually try this time.” The contrast between the two princes became a hot topic.

Ji-ho had undeniable precision, but Ankhbayar carried himself with an elegance that made his near victory feel like a statement.

The air was thick with anticipation as Prince Obinna of Lionara and Prince Ji-ho of Dixan stepped onto the archery field for the final round.

Dixan had already proven themselves as the dominant force in archery, and Ji-ho was their undisputed champion.

Still, Lionara refused to back down.

As the match began, Obinna put up a strong fight.

His form was solid, his focus unwavering, and his arrows flew true.

But Ji-ho was on another level.

Arrow after arrow, the difference in skill became glaringly obvious.

Ji-ho’s shots were effortless, precise, and deadly accurate.

His arrows struck the bullseye with unerring consistency, while Obinna’s, though impressive, landed just outside the center more often than not.

Which surprised him.
