Lou Qianxue calmed down very quickly. She sat down cross-legged and intended to train at the base of the Mountain River Space. She was about to begin, but she suddenly felt that something was off.

“Now, the Mountain River Space no longer absorbs my elementary force. I can train, but the only martial art I know is the [Mountain River Sword Technique]. I am afraid that it is not enough. Why don’t I go to the main bookstore of the city to pick a martial art to learn, and then come back to practice.”

As she thought about it, Lou Qianxue had an idea. She left the Mountain River Space, got up, and moved her body. She could feel that there was a touch of elementary spirit flowing in her body. Ever since she saw the truth of her family, her small face had been pretty sullen. But now, she finally smiled faintly.

But her eyes became sharper and sharper. “Lou Jingfeng! Lou Xingchen! Just you wait! A month from now, we shall battle it out at the prefecture in the city. I will make sure that you repay whatever you owe to my mother and me!”

...

The evening had already arrived. At this time, there was almost no one in the bookstore except the Cabinet Elder.

Upon seeing Lou Qianxue, he slightly frowned. “Miss Qianxue, you should know that only talented people can come to this bookstore. You are not allowed.”

Lou Qianxue did not like many people in the city lord’s mansion. Her expression was calm, and her voice was cold as she said, “I know.”

Then, she gathered the elementary force in her body.

As he saw this, a hint of surprise appeared in the old man’s eyes. He couldn’t help but secretly nod. Lou Qianxue had been practicing for ten years, but she had not been able to condense her strength. Most people thought she was useless, and even the city lord had given up on her. But who would have expected that at the age of 16 years old, she, who had no hope of cultivation, could actually still cultivate so much energy.

Back then, her mother’s talent was extremely good, and her cultivation base was even higher than that of the old city lord. Perhaps, Lou Qianxue could inherit her mother’s talent and become a major pillar of support for the city lord. After all, grand talents matured slowly.

“Since it is so, please enter, Miss Qianxue.”

Even his tone had become way more courteous than before.

Lou Qianxue’s eyes slightly darkened as she stepped into the bookstore. She couldn’t help but remind herself deep down. This is the reality. Only the victors are respected and taken seriously! The weak ones... Don’t even mention justice. They don’t even have dignity!

Thinking of this, she suddenly clenched her fist.

I have to become a victor!

...

There were four stages in the world. The Heaven stage was the strongest, and the Yellow stage was the weakest. Every stage was also separated into three levels of low, medium, and high.

The heavenly Wang dynasty spanned tens of thousands of miles. It had ten states, one hundred prefectures, and three thousand cities. Qingyun City was only one of the 30 cities under the jurisdiction of Liuyun prefecture. The most powerful martial arts in the bookstore were only at the high-level of the Yellow stage. Lou Qianxue was not interested in most of these martial arts.

But when she saw a set of fist techniques, she slightly paused her steps.

[Mountain Splitting Fist: Gather all your strength in one point, and throw out a punch that can destroy a mountain in an instant. Just one punch, but thousands of times of practice is needed.]”Yes, this is it.”

Lou Qianxue took the Mountain Splitting Fist book and went to the door to register it. “This is it.”

When the Cabinet Elder saw the [Mountain Splitting Fist], he frowned slightly. He looked a little unhappy. [Mountain Splitting Fist] looked simple, but it required a lot of practice. Moreover, the martial art was extremely hard to practice well. In the City Lord’s prefecture, there were only a handful of people who had practiced it to a perfect level. Lou Qianxue had actually chosen such a form of martial art.

Is it because it is the highest level form of martial art in the first floor of the bookstore?

She’s really reaching for what she can’t grasp!

Although he was unhappy deep down, the Cabinet Elder still helped Lou Qianxue to register the rental of the book. “Remember, you have to return the book to its original place in three days.”

“Sure.” Lou Qianxue left with the martial art.
