Chapter 552: Chapter 552: You Dare To Accept!

“Xu Erlang! Liu Wenyuan! We really don’t know!”

“Even if you beat us to death, we don’t know where Jade-Masked Blast is!”

“Also, since you dare to do this to me, Sister Xiaoxiao and Miss Qianxue will not spare you!”

“Hmph! As if I’ll get scared! Lou Xiaoxiao, Lou Qianxue... Not bad. They have become quite famous recently.”

“One is in the Mystic Martial Realm and is acquainted with the An family. The other provoked Shen Shuangmu and Mu Xueying and is even associated with Zhen Guogong’s mansion! But, so what?

“Even Mu Xueying, that martial arts practitioner, can’t compare to me. He’s just a nobody from Bailing prefecture! Who am I?

“I’m Xu Erlang, a member of the Xu family, one of the top five families of the Imperial City. My brother, Xu Tailang, is the undisputed top student of the Imperial Academy, respected by everyone! Don’t even compare me to Mu Xueying and Shen Shuangmu, those useless pieces of trash. Even if I am up against the An family, Lou Xiaoxiao, and Lou Qianxue, I’m still unafraid!”

When Lou Qianxue, Lou Xiaoxiao, and An Yuzhi arrived at the scene, they saw a young man dressed in a brocade stepping on Lou Qing’s cheek. He was shouting in a mighty and arrogant manner.

“Xu Erlang, you scum! How dare you bully the Lou family?” When Lou Xiaoxiao saw this scene, her mind went completely blank. Fury engulfed her.

Lou Qianxue smirked and said, “Really? You are unafraid even if you’re up against the An family, Lou Xiaoxiao, and Lou Qianxue?”

A frosty and intimidating aura immediately spread from Lou Qianxue toward the young man dressed in a brocade.

“She’s here! She’s here! Lou Xiaoxiao is here!”

When Lou Qing’s friends saw Lou Xiaoxiao and An Yuzhi, they heaved a sigh of relief.

“Huh? Lou Xiaoxiao... An Yuzhi... You... It’s you? Could it be that you, pretty lady, are Lou Qianxue?” The young man’s gaze landed on Lou Qianxue’s body.

“Enemies always cross paths, huh?” Lou Qianxue glared at the young man, who had teased her when she first entered the academy. A murderous glint appeared in her eyes. “Then, let’s settle the old and new scores together. Xu Erlang, I, Lou Qianxue, am challenging you to a life-or-death battle. Do you dare to accept it?”

“A life-or-death battle?” The students gasped in shock.

“Students are prohibited to kill each other in the Imperial Academy. However, an unresolvable grudge is allowed to be settled on the life-or-death battle stage.”

“Someone will certainly die in a life-or-death battle!”

“I’ve enrolled in the Imperial Academy for so many years, but I’ve never seen someone participate in a life-or-death battle!”

“Lou Qianxue is indeed as bold as the rumors described! She immediately challenged Xu Erlang to a life-or-death battle!”

“Their abilities... Although Lou Qianxue is only in the Essence Martial Realm, she’s skilled at defeating people stronger than her. Despite also being in the Essence Martial Realm, Xu Erlang might not be able to defeat her.”

“Cousin, cousin! Don’t listen to this vicious woman,” exclaimed another young man dressed in a brocade, standing beside Xu Erlang. “This evil woman even dares to trick Shen Shuangmu, ranked fiftieth in the Hall of Fame. You’re definitely not a match for her.”

“Shut up!” The embarrassed and furious Xu Erlang glared at Liu Wenyuan. “Do I need you to tell me this? Why are you so loud? Are you afraid that the others won’t know?”

Sensing the fear in Xu Erlang, Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes and turned her gaze toward Liu Wenyuan. “Are you from the Liu family?”

Liu Wenyuan warily glared at her.

Lou Qianxue coldly scoffed and said, “You played a part in beating the members of the Lou family. In that case, let’s fight on the life-or-death battle stage together!”
