"Xu Lizhi, who I talk to and what I say—do you need to meddle in that?"
Ye Xinglan's furious shout rang through the entire lounge, her sharp gaze making Xu Lizhi's fat body tremble again and again.
"X-Xinglan, I... I was just worried about you."
Xu Lizhi looked utterly aggrieved, as if he were entirely concerned for Ye Xinglan. "Who knows what kind of person Xu Yue is? What if he has ill intentions? That's why I..."
Before he could finish, he abruptly shut his mouth.
"So you followed me?"
The anger in Ye Xinglan's eyes intensified.
"I can judge for myself what kind of person Xu Yue is. I don't need you worrying about it! Just mind your own business."
"Enough! Stop arguing!"
Shen Yi looked at the two of them with a headache. They had been perfectly good partners—how had a trip to the Skysea Tournament turned them into this?
"Xinglan, explain this properly."
With Shen Yi speaking up, Ye Xinglan did not continue berating him. Her sword-sharp gaze coldly raked over Xu Lizhi before she turned to the others.
"Teacher Shen, this is what happened..."
Ye Xinglan briefly recounted what had happened on the arena stage, explaining why she had been walking together with Xu Yue.
"Sword intent? A breakthrough?" Shen Yi was quite surprised upon hearing this, exchanging glances with the Shrek students.
"That's right." Ye Xinglan nodded faintly.
"Teacher Shen, look!"
As she spoke, she no longer restrained her aura, releasing the Stargod Sword intent she had comprehended along with her soul power.
In an instant, her rank 28 soul power and newly born sword intent were displayed clearly before everyone.
"This is actually real?!"
"Sword intent can be comprehended like that? Junior Xinglan is truly gifted! Congratulations, congratulations!"
For a moment, whispers rose throughout
