"Yo, Na'er has already added you. How about you add me too, old man?" Qian Mo took out his Spirit communication device and looked at Yun Ming.
Yun Ming, however, turned his head and rejected Qian Mo's request without hesitation, "My Spirit communication number isn't something anyone can have!"
Qian Mo's eye twitched, and he said with a 'fierce' expression, "Fine, fine, fine! I didn't want to add you anyway! I'll go add Ya Li!"
With that, Qian Mo scurried over to Ya Li, asking with an eager expression, "Sister Ya Li, could I have your Spirit communication number?"
At this moment, Qian Mo had a well-behaved look, a radiant smile, and coupled with his exceptionally handsome face and the affinity brought by his surrounding sacred aura, anyone who saw him would want to hold him close and dote on him.
"Okay!" Ya Li smiled and gave her Spirit communication number.
Yun Ming said helplessly from the side, "Ya Li, you're good in every way, but you're too kind to some people."
After exchanging Spirit communication numbers, Qian Mo and Gu Yuena bid farewell to Yun Ming and Ya Li and left Sea God Island.
On the small boat, Qian Mo stood at the bow, excitedly saying to Gu Yuena, "Didn't I tell you, Na'er? You have great talent in the Way of the Spear. That old guy Yun Ming will definitely teach you a few moves."
Gu Yuena smiled and didn't say anything, she just sat cross-legged on the boat, resting her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes full of smiles as she looked at Qian Mo in front of her.
The small boat stopped by the Sea God Lake. After they got off the boat and walked back to their cabin along the shaded path, they found a man and a woman loitering in front of their door.
"Xu Lizhi, Ye Xinglan!" Qian Mo recognized the two and exclaimed in surprise, "What are you two doing here?"
"Little Brother Qian Mo," Xu Lizhi waved vigorously at Qian Mo.
Ye Xinglan turned her head, saw Qian Mo, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked forward, raising her head and saying, "Qian Mo, do you still remember our agreement during the Inner Courtyard assessment?"
"Oh, of course I remember," Qian Mo said tiredly, "How about we make an appointment for tomorrow? I've been busy all day and I'm quite tired. I really can't fight anymore."
Ye Xinglan nodded, "Okay, let's add each other's Spirit communication numbers and contact each other tomorrow."
"Okay!"
After Qian Mo and Ye Xinglan exchanged Spirit communication numbers, Qian Mo looked at Xu Lizhi and said with a smile, "Congratulations on entering the Inner Courtyard."
Xu Lizhi smiled sheepishly, "It was just luck. If it weren't for Ye Xinglan's help, I wouldn't have passed the Inner Courtyard assessment."
"There isn't that much luck in the world. Many things are actually inevitable," Qian Mo said.
Xu Lizhi nodded as if he understood but didn't fully. Ye Xinglan didn't say much, leaving with a "See you tomorrow" before pulling Xu Lizhi away.
Qian Mo turned back to look at Gu Yuena and said gently, "Have a good rest. See you tomorrow!"
"Okay, good night!"
"Good night!"
...
Early the next morning, at the Shrek Academy Inner Courtyard personal training ground, Qian Mo and Ye Xinglan stood facing each other. Gu Yuena and Xu Lizhi sat below, watching.
"I hope you can use your full strength to fight me!" Ye Xinglan raised her right hand, and two spirit rings of light rippled out from beneath her feet, two hundred-year spirit rings.
A longsword appeared in Ye Xinglan's palm. The entire sword was bright yellow, and the sword body seemed to flicker with countless starlight. The dazzling light was exceptionally striking even in broad daylight.
Star God Sword, a top-tier sword Spirit!
Qian Mo yawned lazily and said languidly, "You're not worthy of making me use my full strength!"
Qian Mo's words were quite sharp and merciless. He never showed mercy when facing challenges from others.
"Hmph," a hint of anger flashed in Ye Xinglan's eyes. Gripping the sword with both hands, she seemed to disappear as her aura completely merged with the sword.
Qian Mo raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes. The merging of body and sword was just an initial stage, still quite far from his level.
Ye Xinglan lunged a few steps towards Qian Mo, sweeping the longsword in her hand, directly cutting towards his ribs. Her movements were fluid and natural, the blade cutting towards Qian Mo at an extremely fast speed.
Interesting! Qian Mo sighed inwardly. He instantly pulled out a Seven Kill Sword from the void with his right hand and steadily blocked the Star God Sword.
With a crisp 'ding', Ye Xinglan felt a great force transmitted. Her delicate body spun around to dissipate the force, stepped to the right, and the light of her first spirit ring flickered.
Ye Xinglan looked at the black and white face mask on Qian Mo's face, and while thrusting a sword at a tricky angle, a ball of starlight shot out from the sword, going straight towards Qian Mo.
First Spirit Ability, Sword God Star.
Qian Mo didn't dodge or evade. After casually flicking a sword flower, he directly unleashed a powerful and heavy sword strike.
The Seven Kill Sword was enveloped in sword energy formed by dense killing intent, brutally crushing the ball of starlight. Its momentum remained undiminished, firmly locking onto Ye Xinglan's aura and descending towards her.
A look of shock flashed in Ye Xinglan's eyes. The light of her second spirit ring beneath her feet shone brightly, and a shield covered in specks of starlight enveloped her body.
Second Spirit Ability, Sword God Net.
At the same time, she let out a soft cry, and the starlight shield around her body surged towards the Star God Sword like a hundred rivers converging into the sea. The Star God Sword immediately shone brightly.
Ye Xinglan thrust her sword straight out. The starlight collided with the sword energy, shattering upon contact. The sword energy's killing intent erupted, penetrating her body and making Ye Xinglan feel as if sharp blades were cutting her all over.
A huge force came, and Ye Xinglan's delicate body trembled, almost unable to hold onto her Spirit.
"So strong," Ye Xinglan looked at Qian Mo, who held the upper hand and remained calm and collected. She gritted her teeth fiercely, and the light in her beautiful eyes shone brightly, as if there were two stars in her eyes.
Specks of starlight swirled around her. She took a step, and her speed suddenly doubled. The Star God Sword in her hand seemed to transform into thousands of specks of starlight, enveloping Qian Mo.
Sword light swirled, like a sheet of starlight falling, but in an instant, it was picked off one by one by the Seven Kill Sword.
Ye Xinglan's speed was fast, but Qian Mo's speed was even faster. The Seven Kill Sword had already transformed into hundreds of sword shadows, tightly sealing all of Ye Xinglan's movement paths.
"Clang!"
The Star God Sword flew high. A palm struck Ye Xinglan's chest in a flash of lightning, sending her flying back. She fell onto the ground, her beautiful eyes looking somewhat lost as she stared at the Seven Kill Sword that had stopped steadily in front of her eyebrows.
Qian Mo looked down at Ye Xinglan from above, his eyes as calm as still water, as if Ye Xinglan's attack couldn't cause even a ripple in him.
He raised his other hand and steadily caught the Star God Sword falling from the sky.
Qian Mo put away the Seven Kill Sword and casually threw the Star God Sword onto the ground, as if throwing trash.
"I hope your next challenge will be a little more enjoyable for me."
Seeing the match end, Xu Lizhi quickly jumped onto the stage and helped Ye Xinglan up.
Ye Xinglan bit her lip, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, and she said stubbornly, "I will challenge you again!"
