Lou Qianxue had been placed in the third ring.
After flying to the third ring, she waited for everyone else’s name to be announced and noticed the spots of the people that she knew.
Su Deguang and Lou Qianyue from Qingyun City were on the first ring.
Ye Zhuixun had to fight in the second ring.
Mo Ruhuan was placed in the fourth ring.
An Zhenhua in the fifth…
Lastly, Lou Xingchen was on the sixth ring.
Everyone Lou Qianxue knew was in a different ring, but it was better for her since it allowed her to have a greater opportunity to properly battle.
“Now, please take your spots. The melee battle begins now, and it will only end when only one person is left on each ring!”
After the Prefectural Governor’s order, everyone got into their positions on each ring.
This implied that everyone inside a ring was each other’s enemy.
However, two rings were in a completely different situation than that assumption.
In the first ring, Su Deguang was risking his life to defend Lou Qianxue and push the other contestants of the ring.
The spectators exclaimed, “Those two have formed a coalition.”
“Mm? The others have sensed it too, and they are attacking the two of them. It’s a pity though! The others don’t trust each other, and thus, they are sneak attacking one another at the same time!”
“Seems like the winner from this ring would be one of those two. We just don’t know how they are going to decide which one of the two.”
On the other rings, the participants were chaotically fighting. In the melee battle, one could throw anyone off the ring as long as they caught the person by their hands.
The other ring that belied the assumption was the third ring.
Lou Qianxue frowned as she looked at the people surrounding her.
However, they didn’t attack and just glared at Lou Qianxue as if they were predators looking at their prey.
Among the many pairs of evil glares on her, Lou Qianxue saw a pleased Xu Miaoyan.
When An Shaoning had said that someone had bribed the contestants to go against her, Lou Qianxue had already thought of Xu Miaoyan as the culprit.
All the contestants in the prefecture competition wanted to outshine others, and it was not easy to bribe them.
At least, Lou Xingchen could not.
Only Xu Miaoyan, who belonged to the Alchemy Union and had a strong background, could do something like this.
Xu Miaoyan gave Lou Qianxue a vicious smile when she saw that Lou Qianxue was approaching her.
Lou Xiaoxiao, who was below the third ring, anxiously looked at Lou Qianxue. How could she not understand what was going on after seeing this?
She was so angry that her face turned red. “Xu Miaoyan! You’re despicable! How dare you bribe so many contestants to go against Qianxue!”
The spectators watching the third ring were initially confused about why everyone else in the ring was teaming up against Lou Qianxue.
And when they heard Lou Xiaoxiao yell, they instantly understood it.
They looked at Lou Qianxue with a strange gaze and stared at Xu Miaoyan.
“No way? The number one beauty of Liuyun Prefecture, Xu Miaoyan, bribed the other contestants to defeat Lou Qianxue?”
“No, I refuse to believe this. Miss Miaoyan is such a pure lady. How could she commit such dirty acts?”
“Right. What kind of person is Miss Miaoyan? No matter how great Lou Qianxue is, in the end, she’s a country bumpkin from Qingyun City. Why would Miss Miaoyan bother about her?”
“Hey! Does it hurt you to say something of your conscience? Miss Lou is prettier than Miss Miaoyan. Who knows, Miss got jealous because of that and is now doing this!”
“Sigh! No matter what, Miss Lou is in deep sh*t this time!”
“Of course. Every person capable of attending the prefecture competition is impressive, and so many of them are going against Miss Lou, who is alone. If it were anyone else in her place, they wouldn’t be able to handle it either!”
