"Ah?" Li Shiyin was too nervous about Qin Ran that she blurted it out.

But she was smart enough. After thinking about it, she said to Lu Junxing, "Um... I calculated it out."

"Calculated it out?" Lu Junxing smiled and asked, "Junior Martial Sister, you also practiced fortune telling?"

Li Shiyin looked at Qin Ran and replied, "Oh, I know a little bit."

Lu Junxing actually knew that Li Shiyin didn't want to tell him. He shook his head and didn't ask further.

He praised: "Junior Martial Sister is very learned."

After overseeing this assessment, Qin Ran was really injured. He took this opportunity to resign from the judge position and suspended the arbitration work. At the same time, he also told the head master that Forum Stage No. 1 was severely damaged and would be suspended for use.

Plus the No. 5 Forum Stage that Li Shiyin and Dugu Wenxue had damaged, there were now two forum stages that had stopped operating.

Qin Ran came over from the head master and found Li Shiyin waiting for him. After getting closer, he smiled and asked, "How was today's assessment?"

He really didn't pay attention to Li Shiyin's assessment today, mainly because Lu Junxing and the seventh ranked genius on the Heavenly Pride List put too much pressure on him.

Li Shiyin stood there with her hands behind her back. She leaned forward, giggled and said, "Master, you guess!"

Qin Ran looked at her and said, "It looks like you lost and got beaten very badly."

"That's not it at all!" Li Shiyin stretched out both hands, grabbed Qin Ran's left arm, and walked together towards the Forum Stage, "Let me give you another chance, guess again!"

"Hmm..." Qin Ran thought for a while and replied, "Then it means you lost, but you didn't get beaten too badly."

Li Shiyin squeezed Qin Ran's arm hard and said, "Wrong!"

"Let me think..." Li Shiyin was extremely strong when she squeezed Qin Ran's arm, which caused pain. So he asked, "Who was your opponent today?"

In fact, he knew it. The pattern that even Long Qiqi could deduce, how could he not deduce it?

"Dugu Wenxue, Senior Martial Brother Sword Peak, very powerful, very powerful!" Li Shiyin said.

"Is that the Demon Slaying Sword Intent?"

"Yes."

"Does he know how to slay demons?"

"He does."

"Hmm?" Qin Ran glanced at Li Shiyin, "Then why wasn't this big demon slayer able to slay you?"

"Humph!" Li Shiyin laughed proudly, "Because I'm the big demon, he couldn't beat me!"

"Oh...you won!" Qin Ran finally guessed it.

"Master, master..." Only then did Li Shiyin secretly share her joy with Qin Ran, "I also comprehended sword intent!"

"Sword intent?" Qin Ran's eyebrows jumped as he looked towards Li Shiyin and also whispered, "What sword intent?"

He knew that Li Shiyin would definitely comprehend sword intent, it was just a matter of time. Because this simple and stubborn girl was really suitable for comprehending sword intent.

"Guardian Sword Intent..." Li Shiyin said, "I want to protect my parents, Li Shiwen, Chasing the Wind, Qiqi and Dan Peak, as well as myself and Master."

Qin Ran looked at Li Shiyin. Because they were whispering, their figures had unknowingly gotten very close. He looked at the exquisite face right in front of him, full of the stubborn expression she had when she first wanted to concoct pills.

There were very few people who embarked on the path of cultivation for the sake of others, but his silly apprentice was one.

Some might say that the sword in their hands is for protection, but almost no one has comprehended Guardian Sword Intent because of this... let alone someone like his apprentice who was full of violence.

"Guardian Sword Intent is great!" He smiled and before his silly apprentice's bright eyes could look at him, he looked ahead and said, "The Star Sword Qi is for attack, the Guardian Sword Intent is for defense, one attacking and one defending, they complement each other like yin and yang, subtly conforming to the grand dao of heaven and earth."

"That's right!" Li Shiyin looked at Qin Ran's elegant side profile, her eyes full of smiles. How could she think so much?

Under Forum Stage No. 8, they found Long Qiqi and Chasing the Wind, while Tian Wenjin was on the stage.

Tian Wenjin's lifeline number in this round was 15. The assessment had just begun.

Chasing the Wind saw Qin Ran and Li Shiyin walking over early on. He shouted "Daddy" and rubbed his big head against Qin Ran.

Looking at Li Shiyin pulling Qin Ran's arm, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. He hated that he had grown so big that he could no longer be held in his father's arms for comfort.

Long Qiqi glanced at Qin Ran and Li Shiyin. She cursed "lovebirds" in her heart and casually asked, "Why aren't you the judge anymore?"

"The disciples are too strong now, my own strength is not enough." Qin Ran replied, "I can't guarantee their safety anymore."

"Oh..." Long Qiqi looked at the stage and asked again, "There was a lot of noise over there just now, what happened? You're not hurt, are you?"

"It's normal for there to be some noise when two geniuses fight..." Qin Ran smiled and replied, "I suffered some internal injuries, no major issues."

What is called the sinister version of a tsundere refers to Long Qiqi.

The sinister, arrogant little lolita tsundere was still quite interesting.

The family of four chatted below the stage while the battle on the stage had reached a fever pitch.

Although Tian Wenjin's luck was slightly better than Li Shiyin's, it was only slightly better. Because from this round onwards, the opponents she encountered were all stronger than the last.

Her opponent this round was the outer sect disciple, Xiao Bufan, that Long Qiqi had asked her to pay special attention to. This person cultivated fire magic and possessed the Strange Fire Between Heaven and Earth. His fighting style was bold yet meticulous, and he was very good at winning despite being at a disadvantage.

For someone like Xiao Bufan, Tian Wenjin's Ruthless Sword Intent was not very useful. She had a tough fight this round.

At this moment, blue lightning and red flames were flashing on the stage. Qin Ran looked up and felt as if he had returned under the Heavenly Tribulation, that extremely violent lightning and flames.

Sizzling...

Tian Wenjin transformed into lightning, relying on the high mobility of lightning to dash all over the Forum Stage and continuously attack Xiao Bufan. Xiao Bufan was engulfed in raging flames, desperately evading Tian Wenjin's lightning while using the flames to block the damage from the lightning.

Xiao Bufan was bold yet meticulous and smart. He was very clear that his actual combat power was inferior to Tian Wenjin's. Therefore, he adopted a conservative tactic from the start, defending instead of attacking.

Not only did Li Shiyin know, Xiao Bufan also knew—once someone takes action, flaws will appear. He knew that as long as he could keep defending, Tian Wenjin would definitely reveal a flaw.

Although Xiao Bufan was not as adept at seizing flaws as Li Shiyin who possessed the Heart Divine Eye, he told himself that he must be able to seize it...

And there it was! The flaw!

After all, Tian Wenjin was the offensive side. Her consumption of strength and magic power was dozens of times more than Xiao Bufan's. After such a long stalemate, her magic power finally showed a gap. Her magic power operation faltered for an instant when she unleashed this sword strike!

Letting this sword strike's might be far inferior to her previous moves!

Xiao Bufan noticed it early on. He had been taking this beating for so long already, waiting precisely for this moment...

"Phoenix Extreme Flame!" He spread his hands out like wings as flames roared up his body, providing him wings.

"Caw..."

The cry of a phoenix suddenly rang out from nowhere!

He flapped his wings...

And instantly transformed into a phoenix, charging head on towards Tian Wenjin's sword strike!

Naturally, Tian Wenjin's sword strike was no match for Xiao Bufan's strongest move. If these two moves collided, it was highly likely that she would be taken out in one move.

At this moment, it was already too late to stop and switch to another powerful sword technique.

Unless...

She created her own move!

Sword techniques created by oneself could be moved and performed at will, anytime.

So at this critical moment, Tian Wenjin glanced below the stage. She just happened to see Li Shiyin hugging Qin Ran's arm, both very close to each other...

"Sigh!"

She looked back...

"Snow Flying in the Wind!"

Despite the scorching sun overhead, a cold wind suddenly blew across this Forum Stage. Flake by flake, snow began to fall along with the cold wind!

Xiao Bufan in the flames suddenly felt a bit cold.

He discovered a snowflake had fallen onto his phoenix wing... Looking closely, he saw it wasn't a snowflake but lightning, no, it was sword qi!

Another snowflake fell...
