“Two concepts?”
“How is it possible?”
The crowd gasped one after the other.
However, when Ye Zhuixun started to talk, they all shut their mouths.
“Sister Qianxue, ever since I was born, I have only practiced Wild Lion Roar. My father said that simple is better. Even if I only had one technique, as long as I could understand nine types of concepts, I would be invincible!” If a bystander had asked Ye Zhuixun this question, he might not have bothered to reply. But he proudly answered to Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue momentarily froze and a light flashed past her eyes. “Nine types of concepts? It’s considered great even if someone at the Mystic Martial realm grasps the superficial knowledge of the concepts. Your father is ambitious!”
Ye Zhuixun smiled in dismay. “I know that it’s very amazing to be able to understand two concepts at my age. Despite it, I’m not a match for Sister Qianxue.”
Lou Qianxue comforted him. “I had used a defensive martial art just now, and it could reflect the damage of an attack. You were actually hit by yourself. Zhuixun, if you had understood one more type of concept, perhaps, you would’ve defeated me. But as it stands right now, you can’t. Admit defeat.”
Ye Zhuixun’s expression became resolute as he said, “Sister Qianxue, I’m being watched by someone. Therefore, I have to become strong, and win the prefecture competition to let everyone know my name. Hence, I won’t admit defeat even if I die!”
Ye Zhuixun closed his eyes, and upon opening them, his eyes were filled with deep pain, despair, and determination. It appeared he was ready to face death.
“Ye Zhuixun.” Lou Qianxue was shocked by his determination. She frowned. “You’re young, and have a bright future. I don’t wish to hurt you.”
“I can’t stop. I’ll only become reputable when I become champion of the prefecture competition. Only then will I be qualified to go to a more impressive sect to learn and become stronger.”
“I can help you become strong,” Lou Qianxue said. “Didn’t you call me Master?” She raised her eyebrows. “If you’re still insistent on that, I can take you in as my disciple.”
Lou Qianxue had been was by her love for talent. Moreover, she felt admiration for Ye Zhuixun’s fearlessness and willingness to die for his persistent belief.
After a moment of shock, Ye Zhuixun became ecstatic. He rolled the sleeves of his robe and knelt. “Master!”
“How could this happen?”
The audience was stunned.
“F*ck, this is a major turning point!”
“Ye Zhuixun is taking things too hard. He has understood two concepts! With this talent, he could easily enter any big sect, yet he wants to become a disciple of Lou Qianxue. The Lou Qianxue who comes from a small city and is around his age? Isn’t he burning his own bridges?”
“That’s right. How much impressive can Lou Qianxue be? It’s a pity! A pity! I’m afraid Ye Zhuixun’s brilliant future has gone down the drain.”
Lou Qianxue’s gaze swept past the crowd as she said, “Zhuixun, did you hear what they said? Do you regret it? It’s still not too late to take it back.”
“No! I, Ye Zhuixun, never regret what I do.”
Lou Qianxue nodded. “Alright, step back first.”
“Yes.” Ye Zhuixun directly jumped off the stage.
The judge, who was still in a daze, announced, “This round goes to Lou Qianxue.”
“Dreadful!” The Prefectural Governor shattered the teacup in his hand. He had originally wanted Lou Qianxue and Ye Zhuixun to expend each other’s energy, but then this had happened.
“It’s alright.” Lou Xingchen got up. With arrogance and confidence on her face, she said, “Uncle, I wanted to personally end her anyway. This situation is good too.”
She then jumped into the ring.
