"I... I... I'm still young..."
Ye Fan covered his chest with both hands, his face a picture of terror.
In a good mood, Ye Fan decided to be a little mischievous.
After all, he was really happy right now.
"To hell with you. What are you thinking? The Hall Master and I are just amazed that you really stepped in dog shit and got lucky."
Yin Shanyue scolded with a laugh.
However, Ye Fan sensed a note of familiarity in Yin Shanyue's words.
It seemed that—
At this moment, the Branch Hall Master of the Star Martial Hall in Jianghuai City had shed some of the aura of a superior.
He felt more like an older brother.
"Mm, my luck was indeed pretty good."
"This time, I have Hall Master Yin to thank for coming all this way to test my Dao Seed, giving me the chance to take another step forward."
"I also have to thank the Hall Master for granting me the precious Awakening Crystal, allowing me to awaken S-rank Lightning Affinity in one stroke."
"And I must thank you two seniors for holding the line for me, allowing me to obtain the Primordial Barbarian Elephant Bone.
"It actually contained the power of thunder, letting me nearly break through two grades in a row.
"Moreover, this elephant bone even contained some lingering fragments of martial arts imagery. I merged them into my Spear Technique and created Thunder—Suppress the World!"
Ye Fan spoke as though delivering a report.
He recounted his advancement process to Hall Master Ai Hongjun and Branch Hall Master Yin Shanyue.
Upon hearing this—
Although Ye Fan's thanks for Ai Hongjun and Yin Shanyue were as sweet as honey smeared over his lips—
They found them quite pleasing to hear.
Still—
Yin Shanyue ground his teeth.
