Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Battle Genius

“Oh my God! Is that Third Young Master? Why did he become like this?” Everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

“Am I dreaming?”

“Third Young Master lost?”

“And he lost so miserably!”

“What happened?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The crowd’s gazes landed on Lou Xiaoxiao.

Lou Xiaoxiao’s pretty eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t conceal her happiness. “Qianxue, I succeeded! I finally defeated Third Young Master! In the past, he almost killed me. But now, I finally defeated him!”

Finally, she was free from the traumatic shadow of death.

When everyone heard that, they looked at Lou Xiaoxiao with complicated gazes.

This battle had completely been different from Ye Zhuixun and Lou Qianxue’s battle. Lou Xiaoxiao had fought Third Young Master at his full strength.

Hence, they could not come up with any reason or excuse to lie to themselves that these youths from Qingyun City were not a match for Fengyang prefecture’s geniuses.

They had no choice but to admit that these three youths from Qingyun City were very powerful!

“Xiaoxiao, congratulations! I believe that no one in Fengyang prefecture will dare to call you an ant from now on.”

Delight was written all over Lou Xiaoxiao’s face. “It really feels amazing to trample over someone so powerful and stand at the peak. Hahaha! Qianxue, did you understand what happened during the battle?”

Lou Xiaoxiao’s face became filled with pride and a mysterious look.

“I understood. Not only did you crush Third Young Master with your martial skills, but you also overpowered him with your intelligence.”

Ye Zhuixun could not help but ask her, “Master, what do you mean?”

The audience, feeling shocked and conflicted, curiously looked at Lou Qianxue when they heard that.

“Can I say it, Xiaoxiao?”

“Of course. I want to know if your guess is correct.”

Lou Qianxue nodded. “If I’m not mistaken, when you first activated the ‘Falling Flowers,’ you had already used the water concept, right? The flowers which you formed contained the water concept. This was why you could stop the flowers from exploding and even step on them mid-air.”

Lou Xiaoxiao’s expression changed.

Lou Qianxue continued, “Water is shapeless, yet it can take all shapes. Water is nothing, but it can become everything. You exploded the flowers the moment the Venomous Dragon Sword shot out the poisonous smoke. You did this because you wanted the flowers to absorb the poison when they split into ‘rain droplets,’ right?

“You... You...” Lou Xiaoxiao looked at Lou Qianxue in disbelief.

Lou Qianxue stroked her chin. “The flowers exploded into rain droplets, absorbed the poisonous fog, and turned into the unexpected ‘poisonous rain.’ Hence, because of the Venomous Dragon Sword’s poison, the rain droplets that fell onto Third Young Master could corrode his Lightning Battle Armor! After the armor got damaged, he lost control over the lightning, and when the poison mixed with it, the armor exploded. In other words, Third Young Master was defeated by his own hands. Am I right, Xiaoxiao?”

“Oh! So that’s what happened!” Lou Qianxue’s explanation finally allowed the crowd to understand what had happened. They were stunned. Then, they looked at Lou Xiaoxiao in amazement and awe. “How did she think of that?”

Lou Xiaoxiao ignored everyone else and dumbfoundedly stared at Lou Qianxue. With a hoarse voice, she said, “I can’t believe that you guessed everything correctly.”

Lou Qianxue shook her head. “I only guessed it after the battle ended. I must admit that you’re a battle genius, Xiaoxiao. Within such a short period, you leveraged on your limited advantages and targeted Third Young Master’s Lightning Battle Armor and Venomous Dragon Sword. To come up with such a bold, secretive, yet useful battle strategy, even I must say that I’m in awe!”

Hearing her praise, Lou Xiaoxiao blushed. “No... Ever since Third Young Master revealed his trump cards when fighting Mu Wuxin and Yang Feng, I had been thinking of a battle strategy against him. On the other hand, you saw through my plans and set-ups in just seconds. You’re the real battle genius! Moreover, if you had not given me the Frost Sword to block the lightning, the outcome might’ve been different.”
