"Senior, I told you I'm fine..."
Zhou Fan looked thoroughly exasperated. Most of his body had been frozen solid, leaving only his head exposed.
"You were affected by the Star Shatter Halberd's side effects just now, weren't you? I thought you could actually control this weapon. Looks like I overestimated you." Xia Qingran bit down on her lollipop and reached out to tap Zhou Fan on the head.
"I'm cooling you down to settle that frenzy inside you."
She had given Zhou Fan the Star Shatter Halberd, so of course she knew its side effects.
Zhou Fan had never lost control before, so she had thought he had successfully mastered the Star Shatter Halberd.

"But it's strange. I never lost control during training, and the frenzy was never this strong either." Zhou Fan was puzzled.
He had never experienced anything like this before.
"It's probably because you were only training before. Now you're fighting these Mutant Beasts in real bloody battles, and the blood triggered it," Xia Qingran guessed.
