Chapter 417: How to bring up a breakup

"Hiss!"

With the short sword in hand, Hu Liena's figure arrived before Huyan Li in the next instant, the blade aimed at his throat.

Under the Killing God Domain, everyone was stunned into silence.

Only Qin Jian stood with his hands tucked away, watching Hu Liena's performance.

He knew the little fox had a sense of propriety; it was impossible for her to actually kill someone on such a critical occasion.

But he knew the higher-ups of Elephant Armor Academy did not know that; they only knew Huyan Li was Huyan Zhen's grandson and the future of the Elephant Armored Sect, so nothing must happen to him!

"Hum hum hum..."

In an instant, martial souls lit up across the entire venue, and soul rings of various colors danced in the air.

Five figures charged over without distinction of order, hurling various soul skills at Hu Liena as if they cost nothing.

One Soul Saint, four Soul Emperors!

But Hu Liena didn't even turn her head, because Qin Jian, holding his scepter, had already stood behind her, blocking the path of these people's attacks.

"Hum!"

The scepter vanished, the magnificent Silver Dragon Spear appeared in his hand, and six soul rings—Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black—lit up on his body.

The next moment, the dragon spear swept across.

"Boom!"

The intense silver radiance, regardless of order or strength, instantly blocked all five people's soul skills.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

The shockwaves of the collision spread out, and the students standing closer were all sent reeling.

As for the Soul Saint Dean and the four Soul Emperor higher-ups, they were blasted away directly, retreating dozens of feet before they could neutralize this impact force.

At this moment, Hu Liena's short sword also stopped right at Huyan Li's neck.

The whole world went quiet.

"Hum!"

The Silver Dragon Spear in Qin Jian's hand vanished, and the Judgment Scepter appeared in his hand again, resting against the ground.

He smiled slightly, still as gentle as a spring breeze: "What? Is Elephant Armor Academy going back on its word?"

The Dean of Elephant Armor Academy and several higher-ups were relieved to see Huyan Li was fine, but then they heard the gentle words spoken by Qin Jian and immediately felt a chill run through their bodies.

It was not just the intimidation from the prestige of the Spirit Hall itself, but also the strength of this Chief Judge, which was terrifyingly shocking.

Originally, not many people were whispering in their hearts that a Spirit Hall Chief Judge who relied on his looks to rise to power was still living up to his name in vain, even if he had won the Elite Soul Master Tournament five years ago.

But now, he had clearly and easily repelled the combined attack of a Soul Saint and Soul Emperors at the Soul Emperor level, and he looked to be doing it with ease, without even using a soul skill.

This meant his strength was at least that of a high-level Soul Saint, which already surpassed everyone present.

From this point on, no one dared to look down on him again.

His identity as a Million-Year Soul Beast had always been sealed by Bibi Dong, and not many people knew about it.

Therefore, most people present still only knew he was just 19 years old this year, and combined with his current strength, it appeared extremely shocking.

Just looking at those few who had originally wanted to challenge him, they were already completely dumbfounded at this moment...

"Is this the person you instigated me to challenge?"

Huyan Li, whose neck had already been cleared of Hu Liena's short sword, turned around, grabbed the person who had pushed him out by the neck, and shook him: "Don't drag me into it next time you want to die! Is it really that fun to stick your face out for people to step on?!"

"Cough... cough... Brother Li, Brother Li... I didn't know he was this fierce..."

"I don't care, today you must apologize to me, treat me to a meal, and soothe my wounded heart!"

"......"

The few people argued and bickered, pinching and hitting each other, and very smoothly squeezed out of the crowd, then walked faster and faster.

A moment later, they were moving as fast as flying, completely disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Caw caw..."

A crow flew across the sky, bringing a lingering sound to the awkward scene.

"That... honorable Chief Judge..."

There was no other way; the culprit had slipped away, so the Dean of Elephant Armor Academy had to come out to take the blame himself: "A-Li was impulsive for a moment and had no intention of offending you at all. Please do not take it to heart."

Qin Jian smiled and shook his head: "It's a small matter, no need to dwell on it."

Thus, the scene immediately became harmonious with everyone's tacit understanding; the plaque-changing ceremony continued, and the whole process was one of peace and mutual goodwill.

Afterwards, Chief Judge Qin Jian, led by the higher-ups of Elephant Armor Academy, friendly inspected the brand-new Spirit Academy Xiangjia Branch and left behind hundreds of templates for Spirit Academy graduation certificates to be used for the current batch of students.

Originally, the other party had enthusiastically invited Qin Jian to give a speech to the whole academy, but Qin Jian looked at that group of burly students and really had no interest in giving any speech.

With that time, he might as well hold his little fox and research and develop some new positions...

Thus, half a day later, Qin Jian led the Knight Order and roared out, leaving in a cloud of dust.

"Ah... it's still more comfortable wearing this Sword Outfit; that so-called Chief Judge uniform is too cumbersome. I really don't know why your teacher likes to wear it..."

Inside the carriage, Qin Jian and Hu Liena changed out of their complex clothing and then happily hugged each other again.

"Are you two ever going to finish?"

Na'er's voice entered his mind.

Watching the live broadcast of them showing off their affection every day, she was already almost unable to resist flipping the table...

Qin Jian still held Hu Liena in his arms, calm and composed, but in his mind, he was saying to Na'er: "Na'er, I don't know what reason to use to break up with her..."

"It's not hard to find a reason to break up; just say you're tired of her and want to find someone new," Na'er said casually.

Qin Jian sighed softly: "I can't, Na'er. Her feelings for me are very deep. If I say that, it will break her heart, and I don't want to..."

"Then just do it like before; break up if you want to break up. You can't find a reason? Haven't you already become very skilled at using the rules?" Na'er said.

Qin Jian was silent for a moment, then said: "That's the only way, but I suddenly can't bear to part with her, and I can't say it no matter what. In these sweet days of being together, how can I coldly say 'let's break up'?"

"I think you're just lusting after her many positions and her seductive bones, hmph!"

Na'er's tone was chilly.

Qin Jian was sweating profusely: "I'm not... I didn't..."

"Really not even a little bit?" Na'er said.

"Maybe, possibly, perhaps... a tiny bit..." Qin Jian said awkwardly.

"Fine, I know you can't control your feelings at all; you say you lust after her body, but in reality, you just can't let go..."

Na'er sighed softly and gloomily, saying: "I'll help you then..."

"How can you help me?" Qin Jian asked curiously.

"Helping you is very simple: kill them all once and for all, at most keep one Rabbit," Na'er said as if it were a matter of course.

Qin Jian felt a chill run through his entire body.

He felt he shouldn't have asked her; wasn't this an obvious answer...

"Forget it... I'd better resolve it myself..." he said helplessly.

"You should have resolved it yourself from the start; how big-hearted do you have to be to come and ask me?"

Na'er's tone was without a ripple: "Don't you know that I don't find any of those women of yours pleasing to the eye?"

"So... Na'er, you like me, right?" Qin Jian chuckled.

"No, I'm just indignant that the flower I raised ran off with other women."

Na'er said coldly and aloofly: "A bunch of flower-picking thieves!"

Qin Jian then said: "Then how about we let the Gu Qing personality come online, and then discuss this question?"

"...... Boring."

Time passed with Qin Jian holding Hu Liena in his arms while chatting with Na'er in his mind.

More than ten days later, Tianshui City, arrived.
