“Are they from the An Family? An Shaoning, I’ve offended both Fourth Royal Uncle and Third Prince. Calm down and ask them to stop. I don’t want you to involve the An Family in this matter!”
As her body quivered, Lou Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and said, “I’m the reason you became this way two years ago. You, stop caring about me anymore!”
“… Foolish girl. You’re their sister. However, you have lost your parents and your younger brother. If I don’t care about you, who will?” The helpless An Shaoning softened his tone. “Don’t worry about this matter! They are not related to the An Family. By appearing here, I only represent myself. Furthermore, what did you mean when you said that you’re the reason I became like this? Look at me. Am I not doing fine now? In fact, I’m doing great!”
“An Shaoning… Stop lying. In the Xuantian Continent, only the strong reign on top. Now that you can’t even cultivate, how is it possible that you’re doing fine?”
“Xiaoxiao, in this world, cultivating is not the only way to become strong.” An Shaoning gently smiled. “I can become powerful even without cultivation. Look at them! They are not members of the An Family. They are my ‘humanoids.’”
“Humanoids?”
“That’s right! Right now, I’m obsessed with the art of machinery. I have created a lot of humanoids. The humanoids I can create right now are equivalent to Mystic Martial Realm experts! Observe them again. What do you think about my humanoids now?”
“…” Lou Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. She found herself at a loss for words.

In Lingxi Prefecture—
On battle stage no.1 of the life-or-death battle stage.
Just as Lou Qianxue leaped onto the stage, a commotion broke out in the audience.
“It’s Jade-Masked Blast! Wow, she has come again! Is she going to challenge another ‘100-point warrior’? Hahaha! This time, I’ll definitely bet on her!”
“It’s so rare to see a female warrior in the life-or-death battle stage. I hope that she can continue surviving!”
“Yeah, I hope so as well.”
“It’s really rare to see such a young and impressive woman!”
“Let’s go and place our bets. No matter who her opponent is, I’ll bet on her win. After all, she’s faster than even Wind-Chaser Assassin!”
“Yeah!”
Even though they had been watching the battles for a long time, the audience was still excited. They soon placed their bets.
However…
“I believe that everyone recognizes this beautiful lady. That’s right! She’s the ’10-point warrior’ who has bypassed the levels, challenged a ‘100-point warrior,’ and won. She’s none other than Miss Jade-Masked Blast!” The booming voice of the life-or-death battle stage’s organizer rang across the stage.
“Huh? Why is the organizer on the stage? Is Jade-Masked Blast going to bypass the levels and challenge a ‘100-point warrior’ again?”
“Well… Even if she bypasses the levels again, she’ll still be fine, right? Her abilities are not any weaker than those of a ‘100-point warrior’. Even if she’s challenging a ‘100-point warrior’ again, I’ll still bet on her!”
“Me too!” After watching two consecutive matches of Lou Qianxue, the audience was extremely confident in Lou Qianxue.
But…
“All of you must be surprised to see me here. You must be wondering why I’m on the stage again. The reason is simple. Miss Jade-Masked Blast has once again bypassed the levels and challenged a higher-level opponent in the life-or-death battle stage!”
“Wow!” The audience exclaimed in awe.
“She’s actually challenging a higher-level opponent!”
“She has bypassed the levels twice within a day. Isn’t she too confident? Or does she have a death wish?”
“I believe that you all are eager to watch the upcoming match. Then, I shall not waste any more of your time. Now, let’s welcome ‘The Son of the Earth’ up onto the stage!” The organizer then retreated to the side.
“Huh? The Son of the Earth?” The name stunned everyone.
“This name sounds familiar. Is he a ‘100-point warrior’ who doesn’t regularly fight?”
At the next moment, someone exclaimed in shock, “Wait! No, no, no! He’s not a ‘100-point warrior’! The Son of the Earth is a ‘1000-point warrior’! He’s actually a ‘1000-point warrior’!”
“What? Oh my God! Has Jade-Masked Blast challenged a ‘1000-point warrior’? Is she crazy?”
