Chapter 501: 501

Chapter 501: At This Moment!

“Sure. I’d like to see how powerful you’ve become after two years, Young Master Qinghe,” Lou Qianxue said with a chuckle.

When the students in the hall saw new faces standing on the battle stage, they became interested.

“These two people with Senior Brother An are the new students of the academy, right?”

“I envy them so much! They are under Senior Brother An’s protection.”

“However, since they gained Senior Brother An’s recognition, they must be exceptional.”

“Come on, let’s take a look. Let’s see how skilled our new junior brothers and sisters in the academy are.”

“I think the same. That junior sister is so pretty. Since I’m an alchemist, I’ll give her a pill after she gets injured. Perhaps… Hahaha…” Someone started to fantasize.

“You’re overthinking, buddy.”

“So foul-minded!” The other students stretched their arms out and punched that guy.

The students were joking around, when…

Suddenly!

“Look, look! They’re going to start.”

On the stage, Hong Qinghe held the black ruler in his hand and warily stared at Lou Qianxue.

The more he looked at her, the grimmer his expression became.

“Other than the martial arts skills the black ruler imparted to me, it also has records of some martial techniques, common mistakes, and loopholes. Yet, although Lou Qianxue is just casually standing there, I can’t find any opening in her stance.”

Lou Qianxue gripped the Wu Jin Meteorite Iron. She frowned and mumbled, “Hong Qinghe is at the second level of the Mystic Martial realm. I’m two realms above him. During the fight, I should suppress my cultivation so that it will be fair.

“No, not only that! My martial arts skills are all of an advanced level. This is already unfair. Why don’t I… suppress my cultivation to the ninth realm of the Spirit Martial Realm!”

At that thought, Lou Qianxue’s eyes became determined as she stared at Hong Qinghe.

“Young Master Qinghe, I’m very fast. You should make a move first!”

“Okay!”

With a determined spirit burning inside him, Hong Qinghe thought, If she doesn’t have any openings, I’ll force her to reveal one!

Then, he slowly stretched his arm out and compressed his Essence Martial Power. Soon, a white orb of light appeared above his palm…

“Huh? what is he doing?” The audience curiously looked at Hong Qinghe. “Why is he wasting his Essence Martial Power on something like this?”

“Look at how calm his opponent is! She doesn’t seem weak either.”

“However, the higher one’s cultivation is, the harder it becomes to determine their level. Unless they truly fight, it’s hard to immediately tell someone’s cultivation if both are in the same realm.”

“Yeah. However, his first move makes it obvious that the young man dressed in blue robes is at the second level of the Mystic Martial Realm! How terrifying! These new students are so much more powerful than us older students!”

“Don’t fret about it! People who even Senior Brother An treat like this must belong to exceptional backgrounds. After all, influential families have a lot of resources. Hence, anyone with a bit of natural talent in those families would be quite skilled at this age. Furthermore, the martial arts scene is flourishing now. In the past, there were only a few dozen Mystic Martial Realm experts in the nation. Now, there are so many!”

“That’s true.”

After conversing, they turned their attention back to the battle stage.

Suddenly…

“Dazzling Light Orb!”

Done with concentrating his energy, Hong Qinghe suddenly attacked and shot forth the orb of light…

At the next moment.

Boom!

The orb of light exploded, and rays of dazzling light shot out.

“Ah!”

“My eyes!”

“How blinding!”

The dazzling white light almost blinded everyone, making them subconsciously close their eyes.

Lou Qianxue did the same. “So he’s planning this.”

With a smirk, she took two steps forward.

When Hong Qinghe, who was staring at her, saw this, his eyes lit up. “This is the moment! Infinite Ruler, expand!”
