Chapter 98

The practice ground was still filled with the sounds of other guards sparring, but at this moment, it was no longer important.

"Is this an act?"

The Duke of Dingguo stared with wide eyes at the five guards lying on the ground, quickly questioning himself and refuting his own doubt.

"No, it's not an act, it's real."

"Their movements, their speed, almost unaffected by the winter clothes!"

The Duke of Dingguo rushed over and grabbed the victorious guard who was still standing, attempting to strip off his clothes with his bare hands!

But as soon as he touched it, the Duke of Dingguo froze, feeling the texture of this new winter coat—down jacket!

It was bundled up into lumpy protrusions, bulky and unsightly, but exceptionally fluffy and soft, not stiff at all, a feeling he had never experienced before.

"So thick, yet so light..."

The Duke of Dingguo stood dazed for a moment, then forcibly pulled one off the guard and put it on himself!

The guard who had his clothes stripped off flashed a notable look of reluctance on his face.

The Duke of Dingguo did not miss this glance, immediately snorting, "I'm just trying it on, I'll return it shortly!"

"It's just a winter coat, I've had marten and tiger fur cloaks before, I'm not going to covet your clothes—"

The Duke of Dingguo spoke impulsively, his mouth quicker than his brain.

But halfway through, as he was putting the coat on, he got stuck.

He couldn't finish the rest of his words.

This down jacket was made of dark black fabric, sewn in an ugly, unremarkable patchwork, and especially bulky.

But once he put it on, it was incredibly light!

He felt no weight on his body at all.

It felt like he could soar into the wind!

The Duke of Dingguo stood dazed, then took a few steps forward, drew the sword from the guard's waist, and showed off some fierce moves!

The swishing sound of the wind cut through the practice ground's vast sky, piercing the ears of the officials.

One by one, the martial warriors widened their eyes in observation.

The civil officials did not understand the subtleties, but the warriors saw it clearly.

"The Duke of Dingguo's vigor is undiminished from his prime!"

"Hah! It seems these winter clothes haven't hindered the Duke's movements at all!"

"Is it really that light and convenient?"

"How is this possible?!"

"I want to try it too!"

The older generation of warriors, whose experience was comparable to the Duke of Dingguo's, boldly rushed forward to snatch the remaining 'Bear Winter Clothes' from the four victorious guards!

"Don't worry, don't worry, we'll just try them on like the Duke of Dingguo and return them to you—"

The four newly arrived old warriors all said this.

And then, there was no "and then."

After a flurry of sword and spear maneuvers, they felt the clothes on their bodies, no, the down jackets, their eyes shining brightly!
