After the martial arts performance ended, news of the performance quickly spread to the imperial city...
"Xu Tailang, the son of the Xu family, has entered the Tianwu realm!"
When this news came out, all the teahouses and restaurants were silent.
"At the age of 28, he is already in the Heavenly Martial Realm. Even the Eagle King back then didn't have such talent! The Xu family really gave birth to a good son... No one in Amaterasu can match him!"
"It seems that the first place in this martial arts competition is undoubtedly Xu Tailang!"
Soon, another news came—Xu Tailang possessed a strange fire!
"He even has Strange Fire! He must have had some other adventure. No wonder he has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age... However, we all know that Xu Tailang is very powerful. Is there no other powerful person in the martial arts performance?"
"Yes! Lou Qianxue, hunted five peak Xuanwu Realm monsters. It is speculated that her cultivation is at least at the eighth level of Xuanwu Realm! She is the first person under Xu Tailang... The most terrifying thing is that she is only eighteen years old! According to her cultivation speed, she will definitely enter the Tianwu Realm before she is twenty years old. Her talent is even more terrifying than Xu Tailang!"
"It is indeed an era when martial arts flourished..." Everyone sighed: "What else?"
"There is also An Yuzhi from the An family, who is at the fifth level of Xuanwu and can stop Xu Tailang for a quarter of an hour!"
"That's really amazing. He is so much inferior to Xu Tailang in terms of cultivation, but he can still hold out for a quarter of an hour... The An family also has a good son..."
People are talking about...
"It's out! It's out!" Another piece of news came into the Imperial City: "The results of the martial arts competition are out! The candidates for general and deputy general are also out!"
"Really? What's the result?" someone asked excitedly.
"Tsk! What's so good about asking that? In the end, Xu Tailang will definitely win and become the general's deputy general. There's no suspense at all, okay?"
"No!" The person who reported the news, his face flushed, was extremely excited: "The first place in the martial arts competition is not Xu Tailang!"
"!" Everyone was stunned: "If it's not Xu Tailang, then who is it?"
"Lou Qianxue! It's Lou Qianxue!"
"Lou Qianxue? How is that possible! Isn't she at the eighth level of Xuanwu?"
"Yes! Lou Qianxue, with the eighth level of Xuanwu realm, defeated Xu Tailang of Tianwu realm effortlessly!"
"!!!" Everyone gasped: "Are you kidding me? How is this possible!"
"I'm not kidding!!! I was right below the hill and saw it clearly. At first Xu Tailang said he would defeat Miss Lou within ten breaths, but Miss Lou turned out to be so fast that Xu Tailang couldn't even catch up with her. Then after ten breaths, Miss Lou laughed at him and then took the initiative to attack..."
The man's eyes sparkled as he spoke vividly: "Miss Lou's sword can split the sky! Xu Tailang couldn't even block it, and finally had to use his protective magic weapon 'Defense Inscription'! After escaping the disaster, he became angry and used his trump card - Strange Fire!"
Everyone frowned, "Yes, Xu Tailang is in the Heavenly Martial Realm and has a strange fire, how could he lose? This is totally unscientific!"
"Because Miss Lou also has a strange fire!"
"What?"
"Listen to me, after that sword strike, Miss Lou said she would defeat Xu Tailang within three moves!"
"Three moves? Defeat Xu Tailang? She's dreaming!"
"… Then Miss Lou really defeated Xu Tailang in three moves! The first move was the stunning sword! In the second move, Miss Lou used her own invention, 'Wind Sweeping the Clouds'. Xu Tailang had no power to resist, vomited blood and fell to the ground, thus defeated! Speaking of which, Miss Lou originally planned to kill him with the third move, but was... "
The news from the teahouse and restaurant soon spread to the Third Prince's residence.
“Damn it!” The Third Prince smashed his tea bowl and said, “Lou Qianxue, she actually stood on the side of the Crown Prince! Before, I almost persuaded her... It’s all that man’s fault for taking her away last time... Otherwise, a talent like Lou Qianxue would have been under my command long ago!”
The housekeeper hesitated and said, "People only said that the general this time is young and has a higher status than the Duke of Zhenguo, but they didn't say he is the crown prince. If the general is you, Your Highness, then Lou Qianxue will naturally be under your command!"
“What do you know!” The Third Prince glared at him angrily. “Gongsun Yu’s body has fully recovered. The old man is now letting him lead the troops to fight to establish his authority! He also deliberately held a martial arts competition because he was afraid that our people would attack him in the army... Damn it! No, I can’t just sit there and wait for death. If this goes on, I will never be able to make a breakthrough... Imperial uncle! Yes, I still have the Fourth Imperial Uncle! Quick, prepare the horses, I will go find the Fourth Imperial Uncle now, and I will make him take action to make sure that Gongsun Yu and Lou Qianxue will never come back!”
