Ye Xinglan came calling, "All I know how to do is..."

Within a week, Lu Guan had finalized the alloys to be used for each of the Five Weapons.

Once that was decided, the next steps were Fusion Forging and Spirit Forging.

Lu Guan wasn't in a hurry; he first forged all Five Weapons to see the results.

The five companion weapons have all undergone a "Three-Fusion" alloy Spirit Forging!

Lu Guan put away the forging hammer and dispelled the six-armed state of the War Lord Demon Body.

At this moment, the five deadly weapons hovered in mid-air, their energy interconnected.

The blade flows with a lively blue, the spear is a deep white, the halberd is a mysterious purple, the chieftain is a domineering red, and the barbarian is a sharp black.

However, before Lu Guan could fully appreciate the changes in the Five Weapons, an uninvited guest arrived!

A fierce and unparalleled sword aura surged forth, unstoppable!

The momentum was unstoppable, but the Lu Guan was not part of that momentum.

Lu Guan grabbed his outer robe from the rack, draped it over his shoulders, and went out.

However, as soon as he pushed open the door to the forging room, a cold glint was already right in front of his nose!

What a fast sword!

This sword strike was devoid of any frills; the tip pointed straight ahead, carrying a resolute determination to burn one's bridges.

Bite!

Lu Guan simply raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined together, and precisely pinched the gleaming sword tip!

A sharp, piercing sensation came from his fingertips. The sword energy drilled into his flesh along his skin, leaving a shallow white mark on his fingertip.

Lu Guan looked along the blade of the sword.

In the center of the courtyard, a blonde girl stood with one hand holding a sword, her posture as straight as a pine tree.

It was Ye Xinglan we hadn't seen in a long time!

"Lu Guan, I challenge you!"

Ye Xinglan flicked her wrist, pulling the Stargod Sword back from Lu Guan's fingers. The tip of the sword pointed diagonally at the ground, her eyes shining with an astonishing light.

Has this girl taken the wrong medicine? Coming to tear down my front door so early in the morning?

Lu Guan rubbed his fingertips together, raised an eyebrow, and glanced at her.

He remembered that he hadn't provoked Ye Xinglan, so what was going on?

Ye Xinglan noticed Lu Guan's gaze and looked back.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Three deep purple Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath Ye Xinglan's feet, the dazzling starlight pulsating along with the Soul Ring, making her appear like a Valkyrie.

Demonstration in progress--

Three-Ring Soul Elder! And these are genuine three Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

Xu Xiaoyan peeked half her head out from behind a pillar, her eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

She had previously participated in the Tianhai Grand Competition exhibition match with Lu Guan.

Xu Xiaoyan remembered this girl; after all, they were the two prettiest girls back then. Hmph~

At that time, Ye Xinglan was only at the second level of the Soul Ring, and she had two Hundred-Year Soul Ring.

It hasn't been that long since we last met, Ye Xinglan has not only crossed the threshold of Soul Elder, but has also raised his Soul Spirit to the thousand-year level!

Impressive! You're only slightly worse than me.

Ye Xinglan ignored Xu Xiaoyan's exclamation, staring intently at Lu Guan, her fingers tightening slightly around the sword hilt.

During this period, she practically lived in the Spirit Ascension Platform and the Sword Training Room.

Whenever she felt she couldn't hold on any longer, Lu Guan's calm and composed face would appear in her mind.

Why is it that this person, even though they're the same age, can leave her behind?

Until about half a year ago, she reached the realm of Lucid Sword Intent!

At that moment, Ye Xinglan finally regained her pride.

She is Ye Xinglan, the successor of the Stargod Sword! Her talent is second to none!

Ye Xinglan had long since Man and Sword as One, her Lucid Sword Intent, not only towards the sword, but also towards herself!

After that, her cultivation speed increased dramatically, and she caught up quickly! She soon broke through and reached level 30!

A hundred-year-old Soul Spirit can only provide two Soul Skill, Ye Xinglan did not seek another Soul Spirit, but chose to ascend to a higher level.

The Stargod Sword is too domineering; it's hard to find a suitable Soul Spirit.

Now that the three rings are complete, and with her Lucid Sword Intent, she is absolutely confident that she can force Lu Guan to unleash his full strength, and even defeat him fair and square!

"What, you're afraid to answer?"

Ye Xinglan raised her chin slightly, and the Stargod Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, its sword energy carving several deep marks on the bluestone slab beneath her feet.

Lu Guan was somewhat bewildered by her fiercely competitive demeanor.

This girl's mastery of the Man and Sword as One is indeed solid; the penetrating power of that sword strike just now had already reached the threshold of the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.

However, how could he possibly fight someone who had just mastered the Two-Word Battle Armor and the Five Weapons Spirit Forging?

Yeah, yeah, I didn't mean to hurt anyone's confidence.

But judging from her attitude, if we don't fight today, she might just stay in this courtyard.

Before Lu Guan could speak, a series of light footsteps suddenly came from the courtyard gate.

Uninvited guests x2.

Wow, it's so lively here!

Accompanied by a clear and melodious sound, two stunningly beautiful figures walked in side by side.

The person on the left has long, jet-black hair, deep purple eyes, and a faint smile on his lips; it is Gu Yue.

And the one on the right, with her cascading silver hair, star-like purple eyes, and carrying an exquisite food box, who else could it be but Na'er?

What a coincidence, what brings these two here?

In that short time, Na'er Radar activated!

As soon as Na'er stepped into the courtyard, her gaze was fixed on Ye Xinglan, who was holding a long sword and looked heroic.

Enemy attack!

Na'er clenched the food box in her hand tightly, her sweet smile vanished, and her big eyes narrowed slightly, like a kitten guarding its food, looking Ye Xinglan up and down with hostility.

Gu Yue, standing nearby, took in Na'er's reaction. A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes as she slowly smoothed her long hair behind her ear without saying a word.

Ye Xinglan noticed the gaze, frowned slightly, and turned to look at Na'er.

However, in Ye Xinglan's eyes, everything in the world is divided into two categories: those that can be cleaved with a sword, and those that cannot be cleaved for the time being.

As for why the silver-haired girl in front of her was looking at her like that, she didn't care at all.

Ye Xinglan turned back, raising her sword again, pointing it directly at Lu Guan: "Don't waste time, draw your weapon! I will definitely defeat you today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Na'er, who had been on high alert, suddenly froze.

Then, she blinked her big eyes, looked at Ye Xinglan with a serious expression, and then at Lu Guan with a helpless expression.

"Pfft--"

Na'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, her shoulders twitching.

She thought it was some vixen coming to snatch him away, but it turns out he's just a fighting maniac!

A Three-Ring Soul Elder comes to challenge her brother Lu Guan?

This is like an old man hanging himself, tired of living!

Upon hearing the laughter, Ye Xinglan's face immediately flushed with anger, and the veins on the back of her hand gripping the sword bulged slightly. "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Guan also found it amusing, crossed his arms, and looked at Na'er with a half-smile, "Yeah, what are you laughing at? What, itching to try it out?"

Upon hearing this, Na'er took a few quick steps and ran to Lu Guan's side. She naturally reached out and took Lu Guan's arm, then leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Oh dear, brother, what are you saying?"

Na'er raised her head, revealing a sweet, provocative smile to Ye Xinglan. Her voice was soft and sweet, with a lingering, convoluted tone at the end.

"I would never challenge you, brother. Fighting is too crude. I'd only feel sorry for Giegie~"

Lu Guan: Why the tea-sounding tone?
