Li Guanqi shrugged. “They’re all getting ready for the selection matches.”
He didn’t waste words. “Senior Sister Lin, shall we spar a little to warm up?”

With a flash of blue light, she drew a water-blue longsword and said softly, “Spirit artifact. It’s called Clearwater.”
Li Guanqi smiled helplessly. “Senior Sister, no need to be so formal. We’re just sparring casually.”
But Lin Qingyu answered solemnly, “When crossing swords with someone, even in practice, it’s the minimum show of respect.”

Lin Qingyu’s eyes widened in astonishment. “A soul weapon? Yours is a soul weapon? A true magical treasure?”
