Everyone present, except Rong Zi, was dumbfounded when they saw what was in front of them.
"The Phantom Sword?!"
What did they see?
The Phantom Sword actually... actually flew up on its own?
At this moment, everyone inside the Hongmeng Ring also emerged.
Little Sunflower and Cai Niu each occupied one of Rong Zi's shoulders, while Jun Moyao, having nowhere else to go, simply sat on her head.
Xiao Bai and Xiu'er both gathered in front of the Illusionary Spirit Sword and circled it twice.
Xiao Bai said, "Oh? So you've developed a sword spirit?"
Xiuer tapped the blade of the Illusionary Spirit Sword with the end of her whip and asked it a question out of curiosity.
"Little Sword, can you talk?"
The people present: "..."
Little Swordsman?
That name is...
The Phantom Sword seemed to be frightened by the two of them and retreated to Xi Ling'er's side.
Its movements were unsteady, making it look like a toddler learning to walk, which was a bit comical.
Seeing that the Illusionary Spirit Sword did not reply, Xiu'er directly wrapped the whip around its hilt and pressed for an answer.
"I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering? Don't you know how to speak?"
With its hilt tangled, the Phantom Sword could no longer move. It could only shake its blade and hum a reply in a childish voice.
“I will say.”
Upon hearing the sound of the Phantom Sword, everyone present felt as if an arrow had been 'thudded' into their hearts.
That voice is so cute!
"Still have a temper?" Xiu'er circled the Illusionary Spirit Sword twice more, putting on airs as she said, "Little sword, among weapon spirits, I am your senior. You should listen to me and obediently call me senior, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai leaned over and nudged Xiuer with his fan.
"I haven't even said anything yet, and you have the nerve to call yourself a senior in front of me?"
Here, it should be the greatest predecessor.
Xiuer, not to be outdone, bumped into Xiaobai back, "What's there to be embarrassed about? I've existed for tens of thousands of years, it's not certain who's older or younger between us."
Xiao Bai: "Well, I'm stronger than you, right? At least you can't beat me in a fight."
Xiuer snorted, "The strength of a spiritual weapon largely depends on its master. We are both Xuan-rank spiritual weapons, so it's not my problem that I can't beat you."
Rong Zi squinted at Xiu'er, then suddenly interjected in a low voice.
"So that's my problem?"
Without hesitation, Xiu'er echoed, "That's right, just..."
The words were on the tip of its tongue when it suddenly realized that something seemed off, and slowly looked at Rong Zi.
When it saw Rong Zi staring at it dangerously, it trembled and immediately scurried to Rong Zi's side.
"Hehe, Master, well... that's not what I meant."
Rong Zi poked Xiu'er's whip and asked with a forced smile, "If it doesn't mean that, then what does it mean? You can't beat Xiao Bai, isn't it because I'm not strong enough?"
Xiuer was speechless.
Not knowing how to defend itself, it suddenly lashed out with a whip, striking Little White.
"It's all your fault! Why did you try to compete with me?"
Little White, who was suddenly knocked to the ground: "..."
Just as Xiaobai was about to get up and fight Xiuer, Xi Ling'er, who was lying on the bed, suddenly woke up.
She looked sleepily at Rong Zi by the edge of the bed, still somewhat dazed.
"Master?"
Upon hearing Xi Ling'er's voice, everyone present turned to look at her.
Yun Jing and the other six all gathered around.
Fifth Junior Sister!
"Fifth Senior Sister!"
"Fifth Junior Sister, you're awake?"
Seeing herself lying on the bed with everyone surrounding her, Xi Ling'er asked in confusion, "What... happened to me?"
Rong Zi sat on the edge of the bed and explained to her.
"You were injured by Song Tianyu during your match just now. In addition, the Illusionary Spirit Sword had just developed a sword spirit and became angry because of your injury. It accidentally drained your spiritual power, so you fell asleep from exhaustion."
Logically speaking, a magical artifact should not be able to draw upon the spiritual power of its owner.
However, the Illusionary Spirit Sword had just developed a sword spirit, and with Xi Ling'er injured, it became enraged and only wanted to beat up Song Tianyu to avenge its master.
So, by a series of coincidences, it evolved into what it is today.
Xi Ling'er was taken aback. "A sword spirit?"
Rong Zi nodded, "Yes, your sword has come to life."
Before Xi Ling'er could even process the meaning behind Rong Zi's words, the Phantom Spirit Sword, which had caused the trouble, cautiously approached her and began to apologize in a childish voice.
"Master, I didn't mean to do it. I just wanted to beat up the person who hurt you, but I accidentally used too much force."
Xi Ling'er stared at the Illusionary Spirit Sword floating in front of her, her eyes widening little by little.
She didn't hear a single word of what the Phantom Sword said.
My mind is filled with...
Her sword could talk!
Xi Ling'er stared blankly for a while before staring at the Illusionary Spirit Sword and asking a question in a slightly stuttering voice.
"You...you can talk now?"
The Phantom Sword hummed in response, its voice incredibly obedient.
"I have already developed a sword spirit, so naturally I can speak."
"Oh my god!" Xi Ling'er covered her mouth with surprise and delight. "So, I now possess a Heavenly Rank Spirit Sword with a sword spirit?"
Rong Zi nodded and replied, "You could say that."
"Wow! This is amazing!" Xi Ling'er hugged the Illusionary Spirit Sword in front of her, so excited that she almost jumped off the bed.
