Strongest Eccentric Consort

Chapter 540: I Give Up On The Trial!

“You’re right.” Lou Qianxue looked at Hong Qinghe and the others behind her, then nodded and said. “Everyone will face challenges. We can help them deal with some of the challenges, but they have to do some alone... Let’s go.”

Both of them then went up the third flight of stairs.

On the third level of the tower.

The road had disappeared.

Instead, cliffs appeared in front of them. Pieces of stones vaguely appeared between the cliffs.

“Stepping on stones to cross the cliffs?” Lou Qianxue was stunned.

“Those stones are disappearing too quickly. If we step in the air...” Chu Pengfei frowned.

“Is this level a test of speed?”

The two of them looked at the surroundings. Sure enough, they soon saw the word ‘speed’ engraved on the wall of the cliff opposite them.

“This isn’t hard for me.” The corners of Lou Qianxue’s mouth curled up as she became eager to try.

“Second Young Master, I’ll make a move first.”

At the next moment, she kicked her feet and leaped toward the stone.

“Glimpse of Floating Light!”

Whoosh!

She instantly appeared on the second piece of stone.

“Storm Intent!”

Whish! Whish! Whish!

Lou Qianxue moved like a phantom. In just the blink of an eye, she reached the opposite side.

“Y-your... Your speed...” Chu Pengfei watched until his eyeballs nearly popped out. “You’re too fast.”

“Try it too.” Lou Qianxue turned around and looked at him from the opposite side.

Chu Pengfei nodded.

He then leaped up and safely landed on the first piece of stone.

When he came to the second piece of stone, he wanted to stabilize himself. However, before he could do that, the stone below his feet suddenly disappeared.

“Ah—” Chu Pengfei shouted in shock.

However...

Everything became blurry in front of him, and he returned to the shore at the very beginning.

“... So I didn’t fall to the bottom of the cliff. I was so frightened. I thought that I would fall to death.”

Lou Qianxue could not control herself from chuckling. “The Imperial academy has set the rule that students are not allowed to kill one another within the academy premises. So how can they let a student die at the trials?”

Lou Qianxue shook her head, then said, “Continue with it. Keep going and come over soon. I’ll take a look in front first.”

“...” Chu Pengfei depressingly looked at Lou Qianxue’s back. When I saw her crossing it so relaxedly, I thought that it was very easy. Who would have known that... Sigh, with this speed, I won’t be able to chase up with my future wife.

This won’t do! I have to show my true self! Father told me that I have to display my capabilities in front of women at all times in order to move their hearts... I must let Big Sister Qianxue see my impressiveness!

Lou Qianxue was extremely relaxed. As she stepped on the Glimpse of Floating Light, she shortly reached the fourth level.

It was a quiet corridor.

“Huh? What is this?”

Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and walked up.

After some time...

Hong Qinghe and the others arrived at the third level and coincidentally saw Chu Pengfei’s figure crossing the cliff.

“So fast!”

“He’s indeed Second Young Master! But this time, the trial tests our speed?”

“Speed... Oh gosh, how fast do we have to be?”

The people who were confident of their speed became eager to try it.

However, the moment they stepped on the stone, they fell!

“This... Is this fit for people to cross?”

“The stones are disappearing so quickly. Second Young Master is really impressive. He crossed them so easily!”

“Second Young Master is indeed impressive, so it’s very normal for him to cross it, but Lou Qianxue has also crossed it. She’s really amazing.”

“Yes!!! Even Lou Qianxue can cross it, why can’t we?”

Everyone glanced at one another. At the next moment, they crazily and swiftly swept toward the shore.

However...

They failed again and again...

After a long time...

Someone finally admitted defeat. “This speed is my limit. Looks like I won’t be able to pass this trial. I give up on the trial!”

He shouted.

At the next moment.

A white light flickered, and he disappeared...

“He’s out!”

The rest of them also wavered.
