At the same time, Shang Yan stretched out his hand towards them, his hand surging with green energy, and strands of green threads swirling and turning in this space filled with sword energy.
“I’m ready too,” Trident said, circling behind Shang Yan.
Sword energy surged, and countless sword energies rushed towards Lin Qiye and the others. In the next instant, they were all sent flying.
After their bodies landed on the smooth ground, they flew backward without any resistance until they hit the wall at the edge of the warehouse and came to a stop.
The surging sword energy came in waves like a tide, making it hard to breathe.
But just when they were about to lose consciousness, Shang Yan timely restored their mental strength, increasing it more than fivefold.
Suffocation, being awakened, suffocating while fully conscious...
The feeling of being on the verge of death wasn't just felt by Lin Qiye; everyone else felt it too.
Because of the buff Shang Yan gave them, they couldn't even faint if they wanted to.
An Qingyu was the first to give in. He had just fainted, but woke up again less than three minutes later, and continued to be bombarded by the sword energy.
After this happened several times, he collapsed and became dizzy, and this time he really didn't wake up.
Next was Cao Yuan.
With Shang Yan's help to revive them, Baili Tuming and Lin Qiye managed to hold on for ten minutes, and after doing dozens of sit-ups, they peacefully closed their eyes.
After all four people lost consciousness, Shang Yan sat on a small stool, propping his chin up as he looked at Jia Lan.
Zhou Ping sheathed his sword energy and turned his gaze to Jialan as well.
"No need to look. She's at least two thousand years old. It's only natural that she could withstand your sword energy for so long." Shang Yan withdrew his revival and conjured a flower in his hand, handing it to Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping frowned slightly and looked at Shang Yan, who seemed quite used to it, beside him.
Jialan, who had been pushed against the wall by the sword energy, also looked up at Shangyan.
How did you know?
Two voices rang out simultaneously.
Shang Yan scratched his head. "I have the laws of life and death under my control. Can't I use this to detect other people's ages?"
Zhou Ping:......
“There really is someone who has lived for two thousand years…”, but then he glanced at Shang Yan, who was sitting obediently on the small stool, and silently swallowed the rest of his words.
Shang Yan carried a small stool to Jia Lan's side, and said excitedly, "I can live a long life too, the two of us will definitely have something to talk about!"
Garan: ...
"Then... how old are you?" Garan asked.
Shang Yan's smile froze on his face.
This question really stumped him.
He counted on his fingers, and when he reached the tenth finger, he coughed lightly, "At least... ten thousand..."
As he said this, he secretly glanced back.
When Zhou Ping, who was holding the sword box, heard Shang Yan's words, his body trembled and he looked over in disbelief.
Jialan was also surprised. She looked at Shangyan and tentatively asked, "Isn't calling him 'brother' too young...?"
Shang Yan: ...
"Actually, I'm a little younger than Zhou Ping here," Shang Yan stubbornly tried to salvage the situation.
Zhou Ping walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Yeah, he's a few months younger than me."
Garan: ...Is there such a theory?
She gave a bewildered "hmm" and then sat against the wall.
The afternoon training session ended just like that. Jialan got up from the ground, carried Lin Qiye, and took him back to his room.
Shang Yan watched their backs, then glanced at Cao Yuan and the others lying unconscious on the ground. He threw a seed on the ground, and instantly several thick, huge vines sprouted, dragging them back to their respective rooms.
"Speaking of which, you might have to call me brother," Shang Yan said, clapping his hands and nodding at Zhou Ping after finishing with Cao Yuan and the others.
"...Is this appropriate?" Zhou Ping hadn't expected the two to be so much older.
019 popped out with a bang.
"Shang Yan, I didn't expect you to be so old. You're still with Zhou Ping at this age. What a bastard!" 019 wouldn't miss any opportunity to retort to Shang Yan.
Shang Yan was a little annoyed.
"What do you know? In that world, someone my age would only be just an adult!" How could he be old? He was so young and tender!
(Note: The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox lineage in the cultivation world has an exceptionally long lifespan, comparable to that of the ancient demons and dragons, reaching hundreds of thousands of years. Those with high cultivation levels can even live longer.)
019 didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to taunt Shang Yan, "You used to call Zhou Ping 'brother,' you're shameless!"
Shang Yan: ...
Zhou Ping silently reached out and bounced the little white ball even further.
Shang Yan fell silent... He probably wouldn't do anything, would he?
019 was just flicked away by Zhou Ping, but Shang Yan caught it back.
"I'm shameless! When have I ever wanted something like this!" Shang Yan said, holding the little white ball and pulling Zhou Ping over with one hand.
Zhou Ping obediently stepped forward a few steps, his eyes lowered, not daring to utter a sound.
Hearing Shang Yan say this, he nodded in agreement.
The movements were very small.
But Shang Yan saw it.
"You think so too?" Shang Yan reached out and pulled on Zhou Ping's shirt, looking at Zhou Ping from the left and then at the little white ball from the right.
"That's hilarious, he just nodded, I saw it too," 019 added fuel to the fire.
Zhou Ping:......
Zhou Ping quickly raised his eyes and glared at 019, then lowered his head and said gently, "I don't think so."
Does he even need to think about it?
Zhou Ping dared not speak.
"Alright, open your eyes wide and watch!" Shang Yan pinched 019 and pulled Zhou Ping's hand on the front of his shirt hard. Zhou Ping cooperated by bending over and lowering his head.
019 emitted a sharp, explosive sound, "Aaaaah—you two are shameless, doing this kind of thing in front of the system!"
"Ah... I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to bother you!" Jialan, who had just pushed open the door, was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
Realizing she had disturbed the two of them, she quickly turned around, opened the door, and closed it in one swift motion.
Zhou Ping, who was kissed: ...
I feel like I can't see the future when I open my eyes every day.
He nudged Shang Yan, his face flushed red, "No, if someone sees us..."
Shang Yan didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Actually, he just wanted 019 to see it, but unexpectedly, Jialan just happened to push the door open and come out.
He released his grip on Zhou Ping's clothes and took two steps back.
"Still outside, want to see more?" Shang Yan roughly squeezed 019 and said viciously, "I can be even more shameless!"
019 screamed and ran back to the system space.
When Zhou Ping heard Shang Yan say that, his face turned even redder, and he covered his face with his hands.
Fortunately, Lin Qiye and the others had all fainted and couldn't hear what was happening on their side.
"Yan Yan, let's talk about these things when we get home..."
