“Hm?” Hong Qinghe felt something chilly on his neck.
At the next moment!
The Frost Sword was on his neck, pressing against it.
“!!!”
Hong Qinghe gasped in shock. He stared at the sword tip in disbelief. “This sword… Didn’t I fling it away earlier? When…”
Lou Qianxue smiled. “I abandoned my sword on purpose.”
After saying that, she withdrew the sword and jumped off the battle stage.
“…” Hong Qinghe dazedly looked at her back as he mumbled to himself, “You abandoned the sword on purpose? Why did you do that? You! Could it be… Could it be that you tricked me?”
“Huh? She won? That little girl actually won?”
Everyone was puzzled. “Why didn’t I understand what happened? What’s going on?”
Someone dared to ask An Yuzhi, “Senior Brother An, can you explain this battle to us?”
The elegant and handsome An Yuzhi calmly nodded like a gentleman. He explained, “It’s actually very simple. Miss Lou abandoned her sword on purpose, but she injected Essence Martial Power into it before doing that. Hence, she could control her sword and predict where and when it was going to land… Then, she deliberately used the barrage of attacks to force Young Master Hong toward the landing area of the sword.”
He paused for a while and glanced at Hong Qinghe. “As Young Master Hong became flustered by the rapid attacks, he accidentally fell for her trick and retreated to where she wanted him to.”
“Ah!”
“I understand!”
“So that’s what happened!”
“I didn’t expect her to have spent so much effort in these seemingly simple moves!”
“Such ingenuity! Such ingenuity!”
“Yeah! Miss. Lou only used the wave form after she got closer to Young Master Hong. Young Master Hong flicked her sword away, thinking that he would be unable to receive her blow. She was already planning on how to defeat Young Master Hong at that moment!”
“She’s such a scary opponent! That Junior Sister is really impressive!”
Lou Xiaoxiao’s face was full of excitement. Rushing toward Lou Qianxue, she said, “You even called me a battle genius. Look at yourself! You’re the real battle genius!”
Hong Qinghe bitterly smiled as he jumped off the battle stage in defeat. “I sensed that you’re not much more powerful than me, but I just can’t defeat you… I feel like after mustering all my strength, I punched a pillow. This makes me so frustrated…”
“…” It seemed that her tactic of suppressing her cultivation was successful. Hong Qinghe did not even notice the difference between both of them.
Lou Qianxue’s expression turned serious as she consoled him, “I think that your battle techniques are very good. It’s just that you lack experience. If you put in more effort, you’ll definitely become more powerful.”
“Really?” Hong Qinghe became fired up. “Okay! After I gain more actual battling experience, let’s have another match!”
“… Let’s talk about it next time.”
As they spoke, they left the training hall.
On the other hand, the people in the training hall were still enthusiastically discussing the battle. They could not help but exclaim in awe, “Looks like this new batch of students is very powerful!”
***
After leaving the training hall, An Yuzhi glanced at Lou Qianxue and Hong Qinghe. “Do you want to take a look at the library?”
“Okay!”
Just when they agreed…
“Sister Xiaoxiao!”
“Sister Xiaoxiao!”
A few students rushed toward them from afar.
“We’re back! Grandfather told us to come… Huh?”
They were the juniors of the Lou Family from Qingyun City.
When they saw Lou Qianxue, they stopped in their tracks. Their eyes widened in disbelief. “Miss… Miss Qianxue? How is this possible? Am I seeing right?”
