I Always Keep My Word!

"Am I really that scary?"

Outside the cafeteria, Li Qingshan awkwardly rubbed his nose. To keep his classmates from having a stress reaction, he had not even brought his saber.

"Brother Shan, we're all friends here. Stop pretending."

Zhao Hongzhou rolled his eyes and complained speechlessly.

Who wouldn't be afraid after seeing that scene in the combat space?

Luckily, he and Hong Qian had run far enough, and their strength had been poor enough that they had died at someone else's hands beforehand.

Otherwise...

Zhao Hongzhou and Hong Qian involuntarily looked at Yu Lei, their eyes full of sympathy.

Because of her movement technique, Yu Lei had survived until the end—and died the most miserably.

"What are you looking at?" Yu Lei's face darkened.

The two immediately withdrew their gazes and looked around in opposite directions.

Seeing Yu Lei's expression, Li Qingshan said awkwardly,

"Th-that... I really didn't do it on purpose. I just failed to hold back for a moment."

"No need to explain." Yu Lei frowned and said expressionlessly,

"There could only be one winner in a melee mode to begin with. I was inferior in skill, so it was only natural that I died by your hand."

She truly did not mind dying beneath Li Qingshan's saber, even if she had been hacked into eight pieces.

But...

She clearly remembered that there had not been the slightest hesitation in that saber shadow before she died.

It was not that Li Qingshan had failed to hold back. He simply had not recognized her!

More importantly,

After dying in the combat space, as long as one had not left the Virtual Pod, they could still see the platform footage.

Li Qingshan had clearly failed to recognize her earlier, yet he had recognized her from a headless torso?
