<h4>Chapter 607: Martial Arts Competition</h4>


    “My Qingshui Vi always has a ce in the Southern part of the Nandu Nation. It’s just that the forces of the Southern part of Nandu Nation hold a martial artspetition once every five years.


    “This martial artspetition is apetition only on the surface. It’s actually a contest for the forces of the southern part of the Nandu Nation to divide their rights and interests. The more times a force wins at the martial artspetition, the more benefits they gain. Likewise, the more times a force loses, the more benefits they lose. They may even lose all their original territories!


    “Most importantly, only the younger generation can take part in the martial artspetition.


    “I hope that you can represent Qingshui Vi and take part in this martial artspetition together with my son and daughter. Of course, you may not necessarily have to fight at the martial artspetition. If there are no powerhouses and my children can handle the opponents, only your presence is required.


    “As long as the martial artspetition ends perfectly, I’ll offer the containment fruits to you with my hands!”


    The elder did not dare to dy Lou Qianxue. He exined the matter to her in just a few words.


    Upon hearing this, Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows. “Why did you choose me?”


    “Every force can send ten people to battle at the martial artspetition. I have been making my selection for a long time from the officials of the various manors. However, they are not desirable. Then, I heard that two experts hade to visit my manor. I thought that you hade to seek refuge at my manor. Hence, I had the idea of testing your cultivation and inviting you to battle.”


    Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. “Your thinking was not bad. It’s just that I want to change my condition. I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I don’t have the time to participate in the martial artspetition.”


    “Miss, the martial artspetition is in half a month. You can handle your own matters first and set off from Qingshui Vi ten dayster. You can still make it.”


    Lou Qianxue frowned.


    “Although the containment fruit is only a fourth-grade spiritual herb, it’s extremely rare. In the entire Nandu Nation, only my Qingshui Vi has this fruit. If you miss it, you may not get the chance to acquire it.”


    “Are you threatening me?” Lou Qianxue coldly looked at the elder. If not for her pride that stopped her from snatching the fruit, how could the elder get his turn to suggest the conditions?


    “I don’t dare. I only have this troublesome matter. It’d be best if you can lend me a helping hand.”


    When the handsome Dan Taiyuan with perfect features, who was standing at a side, saw Lou Qianxue frown, he expressionlessly said, “ughter this vi, and we can pick the containment fruits however we like.”


    When the elder heard this, his face changed. A tinge of annoyance and anger shed past his eyes.


    Lou Qianxue nced at Dan Taiyuan and shook her head.


    Then, she looked at the elder. “I’lle again after ten days.”


    The elder’s eyes lit up. “You’ve agreed?”


    Lou Qianxue nodded.


    At the same time.


    The Imperial Academy in Tian Zhao Imperial city.


    “Xu Tang hase out of seclusion!!!”


    “Xu Tang, the deserving top student from our Imperial Academy who’s at the seventh level of the Mystic Martial realm, previously trained in the military. He fought many battles and killed his enemies single-handedly. He killed ten generals in the Nandu Nation. Even Emperor Ying praised him as the pir of the country and gave orders for him to be promoted to the deputymander of the Imperial Army and take charge of the pce after graduating!”


    “Back then, this matter had been a much-told tale in the Imperial city. The level of importance that Emperor Ying had attached to Xu Tang made the young man extremely glorious. No one could match him.”


    “Exactly! Amongst the eight renowned young masters in the Imperial city, apart from Eighth Young Master Zhu, Third Prince, and Crown Prince, Xu Tang is the most impressive! Regardless of the Imperial Academy or the Imperial city, no one dares to stir him up!”


    “However... a Lou Qianxue popped up a while ago!”
