The members of the Edge-Breaking Squad, who had just reached the back of the long line, glared fiercely at the Sharp Edge Squad with resentful, ruthless, and slightly sour eyes.
"Hmph! A bunch of despicable and shameless bastards. If they hadn't stolen our crystal cores, would they be so powerful and influential?" Wei Tingshan gritted his teeth, showing how much he wanted to grind the entire Sharp Edge Squad to dust.
He had barely finished speaking when he heard Lu Da You's rather honest words.
"I think our few crystal cores are nothing compared to those piles of crystal cores."
"Bang!" Wei Tingshan slammed his fist heavily into the back of Lu Da You's head.
"Say that again, you fucking idiot?"
Lu Da You clutched the back of his head, wincing in pain, tears streaming down his face.
At this moment, the A San interrupted.
"Based on my understanding of the Sharp Edge Squad, they absolutely do not have the ability to obtain so many crystal cores."
As he spoke, he was glaring at Jiang Fan with eyes as sharp as knives.
Wei Tingshan followed A San's gaze and asked, "You mean, because of that kid named Tang Fan?"
"It must be!"
The A San gave an absolutely affirmative answer, and at the same time, his gaze toward Jiang Fan became even colder.
"But as far as I know, he's only at the Early-Stage Third Rank. How did he manage to do that?" Wei Tingshan frowned, puzzled.
A San: "Have you forgotten how we lost our crystal cores?"
Only after being reminded did Wei Tingshan belatedly realize this matter.
He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, seething with rage.
"That brat! He deserves to die! No way! I'm going to report him right now, accuse him of stealing other people's work!"
Wei Tingshan was about to rush forward when he was stopped by A San.
"Why are you stopping me? Do you still have feelings for the Sharp Edge Squad?"
"Heh." A San sneered, "Remembering them? How could I, A San, possibly remember those teammates who were collectively blind?"
Seeing the hatred in his expression, which seemed genuine, Wei Tingshan finally felt relieved.
Why did you stop me?
"We have no evidence. If we sue him directly, we might end up being accused of making a false accusation out of jealousy of someone else's achievements. That would make our Sharp Edge Squad look bad."
I have to admit, what the A San said makes a lot of sense.
"But we can't just let this go. Putting aside whether I can swallow this anger, with Tang Fan, the master thief, in the Sharp Edge Squad, things will definitely go smoothly for them in the future. If this continues, what will become of us?"
As Wei Tingshan spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Jiang Fan, and his already sharp eyes became even more sinister.
"Looks like I still have to--"
He made a throat-slitting gesture.
A San and the others nodded in agreement.
The people watching Jiang Fan weren't just the Sharp Edge Squad, but also the group following Ye Qizhen.
Qian Yi, also known as Brother Qian by Ye Qizhen.
After exchanging glances with his teammates, he headed straight towards the tent where the commander of the Divine Wind Camp was located.
Before long, he arrived in front of Yan Tianyang.
"You've come."
Yan Tianyang glanced at him indifferently, then lowered his head again to do his own thing.
"Did Ye Qizhen improve her strength during this trip to the Outer Wilderness Zone?"
Upon hearing Yan Tianyang's question, Qian Yi could not hide his excitement.
"Reporting to Yan Shuai, Mr. Ye—he's now Late-Stage Second Rank!!!"
"Huh?!" Yan Tianyang suddenly looked up. "What did you say?"
Qian Yi's tone remained excited, and he seemed to feel a sense of pride.
After all, Ye Qizhen had grown up under his protection, and he naturally felt proud of Ye Qizhen progress.
"It's true! He's not only Late-Stage Second Rank Martial Artist now, but he's also jumped to become Intermediate Psychic!!"
Now it was Yan Tianyang's turn to get excited. However, with Jiang Fan as a shining example, Ye Qizhen's progress, despite its incredible nature, was still far behind Jiang Fan's.
It's important to know that Jiang Fan was a year below Ye Qizhen, and moreover, when Jiang Fan was still an ordinary high school student, Ye Qizhen had already been by his side for a year.
Throughout that year, he spared no expense in nurturing Ye Qizhen.
Jiang Fan, on the other hand, is not only an ordinary high school student, but also a poor boy who was kicked out of his home by his biological parents.
To be able to elevate one's vital energy and Psychic Power to such a level under such dire circumstances is nothing short of a miracle.
Tell me in detail what exactly happened.
Yan Tianyang's tone was no longer as agitated as before, and his expression gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, Qian Yi was puzzled.
With Ye Qizhen's tremendous progress and her extraordinary talent, why was Yan Shuai only excited for a fleeting moment?
That shouldn't be the case.
Leaving aside blood and qi, in terms of the enhancement of Psychic Power, there is no one in the entire Great Xia who can compare with it.
Of course, we don't need to mention that legendary Spirit Master.
After all, that's a myth!
Despite his doubts, Qian Yi recounted the entire story in detail.
That's how it is.
Yan Tianyang was in a good mood. "I never expected him to have such an opportunity. Judging from what he said, it seems he hasn't fully digested that incredible stroke of luck yet."
"That should be the case." Qian Yi also made his own judgment, and at the same time hoped that Ye Qizhen could make greater progress and stand at the top of the strong as soon as possible, so as to create another indestructible fortress for their Great Xia.
Thinking of this, Qian Yi remembered something very important, and his brows furrowed immediately.
"If there's nothing else, you can go out now."
After Yan Tianyang finished speaking, he noticed that the other person hadn't left yet, and judging from his expression, he seemed to be hesitating about something.
"Is there anything else?"
" Yan Shuai, this... there's something I have to say about Mr. Ye, but please don't tell him that it was I who reported him."
"Hmm? It's related to Ye Qizhen?"
"That's right!"
Qian Yi nodded heavily, looking as if he had made up his mind to die.
" Yan Shuai instructed his subordinates not to interfere while Mr. Ye was training, unless it involved his life or safety; otherwise, they should not meddle. So I shouldn't have said anything, but a prodigy like Mr. Ye really shouldn't be getting so close to insignificant people. As the saying goes, 'One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black.' Mr. Ye is too young, and his subordinates are worried that he might be approached by people with ill intentions, thus affecting his cultivation."
Hearing this, Wei San nodded in agreement, feeling that Qian Yi's words made a lot of sense.
"If anyone with ill intentions approaches Ye Qizhen, we definitely need to be careful."
Yan Tianyang glanced at Wei San, then looked back at Qian Yi. The whole process was calm and uneventful.
"I trust Ye Qizhen's judgment in judging people; those he's willing to associate with must be quite good."
Qian Yi panicked, fearing that Yan Tianyang would wave him away the next second, so he quickly spoke up.
"But the person Mr. Ye contacted this time was a nobody from that fifth-tier Sharp Edge Squad!"
