“Did Lou Xiaoxiao injure Young Master Qinghe?”
“Within two attacks?”
“So impressive!”
“Could it be that the strongest person in Fengyang prefecture is going to change?”
Despite the crowd’s words, Lou Xiaoxiao stared at the two streaks of blood with a frown. It was as if she was unsatisfied.
Hong Qinghe’s expression also darkened. He bellowed in a deep voice, “Infinite Ruler! Expand! Become large! Even larger!”
Buzz!
The black ruler transformed and rapidly enlarged.
Whoosh!
It forced Lou Xiaoxiao to retreat, and she approached the edge of the battle stage.
Gritting her teeth, she leaped into the air and stepped onto the Infinite Ruler. She jumped and ran across the black ruler, trying to find an opportunity for survival.
However…
“Infinite Ruler, suppress!”
Boom!
A mysterious, ancient, and powerful force suddenly surged out of the ruler.
“Mmph!” Lou Xiaoxiao softly grunted. Her body swayed, and she fell from the Infinite Ruler.
Swish!
The Frost Sword carved a white mark on the ground, and Lou Xiaoxiao stabilized herself. She flipped over and landed on the floor.
However, at the next moment, the black ruler shot toward her, carrying an immensely huge and intimidating force.
Lou Xiaoxiao’s expression drastically fell, and she raised her arm to block it.
The black ruler was as heavy as a mountain, and it made her bend backward. Her body uncontrollably trembled.
“This Infinite Ruler is so amazing. It can grow to such a huge size!”
“That’s so great! Young Master Qinghe got the upper hand again!”
“Indeed, he lives up to his name as the Fengyang prefecture’s strongest young practitioner. No one can compare to him!”
“I’m relieved now.”
Lou Xiaoxiao looked unwilling to admit defeat. With blood-shot eyes, she bellowed and used all her strength.
She managed to push back the Infinite Ruler
Hong Qinghe raised an eyebrow. He frantically channeled his Essence Martial Power and shot it toward the black ruler. The black ruler pushed back against Lou Xiaoxiao again!
Pfft!
Lou Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale, and she spat out blood.
“That power… It’s the Mystic Martial Realm! He’s in the Mystic Martial Realm!”
“Oh my God! Young Master Qinghe is in the Mystic Martial Realm!”
“I heard a while ago that there’s a young practitioner in the Fengyang prefecture who has entered the Mystic Martial Realm. However, I had not believed it. I still can’t believe that Young Qinghe has already entered the Mystic Martial Realm!”
Lou Xiaoxiao was stunned too. “So my opponent is in the Mystic Martial Realm…” Her eyes dimmed. “No wonder…”
Closing her eyes, she declared in a calm and hoarse voice, “I admit defeat.”
The audience immediately started cheering.
“He won! Young Master Qinghe won!”
“That’s great! Young Master Qinghe is indeed the strongest individual in Fengyang prefecture! Hahaha! I already said that no one here can defeat him!”
“Qingyun City? Lou Xiaoxiao? So what if she’s a battle genius? She still lost to Young Master Qinghe!”
Lou Xiaoxiao returned to her seat with a cold expression.
Lou Qianxue passed her a pill. “Eat this, Xiaoxiao.”
Lou Xiaoxiao took it, swallowed it, and gloomily looked at Lou Qianxue. “Qianxue, I lost.”
Lou Qianxue consoled her, “Hong Qinghe is in the Mystic Martial Realm, an entire realm above you. If you had been at the Mystic Martial Realm, you’d have won. Plus, Xiaoxiao, I think it’s better that you lost this battle.”
“Huh?” Lou Xiaoxiao was confused.
Lou Qianxue smiled. “When one is on a winning streak, it’s easy to get arrogant. It’s a lucky thing to be reminded by someone else at this juncture.”
Lou Xiaoxiao’s pretty eyes widened. She was stunned for a while, then bitterly smiled. “That’s right. I was very delighted after defeating Third Young Master. I thought that I was very impressive. I had become arrogant and assumed that I’d definitely defeat Hong Qinghe. Who knew…”
She took a pause before continuing, “Hong Qinghe made me realize that there will always be someone more powerful than me. However, you made me understand that this world is very big. There are plenty of people who are stronger than Third Young Master. Hence, my goal should not be Third Young Master.”
As she spoke, her disappointment and bitterness disappeared. Instead, her tone became more determined. “My goal should be to conquer more ‘mountains’ and become more powerful!”
