Chapter 1379 Made a Friend

"What happened?"

Suddenly, a dignified voice rang out from the crowd.

Everyone turned to look—it was Qin Tian!

They had all been stunned by Ye Yuan, not noticing that Qin Tian, who had just accomplished a great feat, had already left the Sword Grave at some point.

When he successfully passed the eleventh floor, he knew the entire academy would be shaken.

However, Qin Tian was long accustomed to such surprise and shock.

For a true genius, enjoying these things was only natural.

But when he came out, he found things were not as he had expected.

Everyone was indeed shocked, but the manner of their shock was somewhat different.

Logically, he should be the center of attention; when he came out, everyone should have immediately reacted, cheered, and offered all kinds of congratulations.

Yet after he emerged, he found no one paying him any attention.

"Ah? It's Senior Brother Qin Tian! Senior Brother Qin Tian, look at that guy on the light screen."

Qin Tian frowned and curiously looked at the light screen.

He was very curious what could overshadow the glory of his passing the eleventh floor.

Qin Tian was not one to seek fame, but he was used to being the protagonist, used to being admired by all.

Now that those exclamations were gone, he felt uncomfortable, somewhat... displeased.

When Ye Yuan's figure came into view, Qin Tian's gaze suddenly sharpened!

"How long has it been?" Qin Tian asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Qin said cautiously, "It's been half an hour already! Senior Brother Qin Tian, what... what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Report to the academy and ask a teacher to come! Ye Yuan has damaged the Sword Grave—his crime deserves death!" Qin Tian said grimly.

Zhao Qin exclaimed, "Ah," and quickly said, "I... I'll go get Teacher Fan right away!"

With that, Zhao Qin took out a talisman and directly transmitted the news of the incident.

In the Wumeng Academy, no sword in the Sword Grave could be drawn. Otherwise, the consequences would be severe!

As soon as someone drew a sword, all the swords on that floor would attack him.

This attack was on an entirely different level from the attacks of those law fragments!

Even with Qin Tian's current strength, if he drew a sword on the first floor, he would have no chance of survival!

In the history of Wumeng Academy, many had impulsively drawn swords, but none had survived.

To successfully pass a floor, one had to break through the blockade of a hundred flying swords.

Thus, Ye Yuan's action caused such a huge reaction that everyone forgot about Qin Tian's passing of the eleventh floor.

If it had been someone else, Qin Tian wouldn't have been so angry.

But that person was Ye Yuan, someone he had already sentenced to death.

Before long, Teacher Fan arrived at the Sword Grave.

Seeing Ye Yuan on the light screen, his expression changed, and he said, "How did he do it? Could it be... something wrong with the first floor of the Sword Grave?"

Qin Tian stepped forward and said, "Teacher Fan, it is said that this Sword Grave has existed for a million years and has never shown such an anomaly. Now, Ye Yuan has probably used some method to disrupt the order of the first floor!"

Teacher Fan nodded and said, "Qin Tian makes sense. I'll go in and take a look. If he really disrupted the order of the first floor, he will be punished without mercy!"

After speaking, Teacher Fan turned and entered the first floor of the Sword Grave.

"You're called Ye Yuan? What exactly did you do to make all the swords on this floor go out of control?" Teacher Fan demanded.

However, Ye Yuan seemed not to hear at all and continued talking to the longsword in his hand as if to himself.

It was like... an old friend of many years.

Teacher Fan's face darkened. With a cold snort, he moved and dashed into the Sword Grave.

But the moment his body entered the Sword Grave's range, all the swords on the first floor emitted a soft humming sound!

"Hum..."

All the swords trembled violently, as if about to rise from the ground!

In an instant, Teacher Fan's expression changed drastically. An extremely dangerous feeling surged in his heart.

He wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

"Clang, clang..."

All the longswords rose from the ground and charged at Teacher Fan.

Teacher Fan was a Guixu realm expert with formidable strength. Seeing that retreat was impossible, he burst forth with a powerful aura and met the swords.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, Teacher Fan staggered back out of the Sword Burial Ground.

After repelling Teacher Fan, countless swords danced in the air for a moment before returning to their original positions.

Teacher Fan looked shocked, still shaken by what had just happened. His gaze fell on Ye Yuan, full of disbelief.

These swords were not out of control!

If he had gone deeper just now, he might not have come out so easily.

And Ye Yuan seemed completely unaware of what had just happened, still talking to himself as if possessed.

The hall had long since erupted.

"The swords on the first floor aren't out of control! Teacher Fan almost got trapped too!"

"My god, what's going on? Why is that kid safe inside?"

"I feel like those swords are all under that kid's control?"

"This... this can't be, right?"

...

Qin Tian stared at the light screen, his usually expressionless face showing rare shock.

He felt the same as those people—it was as if Ye Yuan had controlled all the swords on the first floor!

"How did this guy do it?" Qin Tian's heart was shaken.

Over the past few hundred years, whenever he had free time, he would come to the Sword Grave to comprehend swords.

But he had never thought of controlling all the swords on a floor!

These swords were left by the predecessors of Wumeng Academy; some of their later strength was unimaginable.

The combined power of all the swords was something no single person could withstand.

Yet Ye Yuan had actually controlled all the swords!

Qin Shao had somehow also joined the crowd. He finally understood why Ye Yuan had been crazily enduring abuse for the past year.

He was comprehending swords!

But this comprehension... was it a bit too strong?

While everyone was astonished, Ye Yuan slowly stood up, inserted the sword in his hand back into its place, and walked out of the Sword Grave.

Seeing Teacher Fan, Ye Yuan was startled and bowed, saying, "Disciple Ye Yuan greets Teacher."

Teacher Fan's expression was very strange. Ye Yuan also noticed his oddity and was somewhat puzzled.

"Ye Yuan? You... what exactly did you do just now?" Teacher Fan said with a grim face.

Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, baffled, "Do? Teacher saw it too, I was comprehending swords."

"Comprehending swords? Ye Yuan, don't play dumb! You just drew a sword!" Teacher Fan said displeased.

"Draw a sword? Yes, I did draw a sword. What, are the swords in the Sword Grave... not allowed to be drawn?" Ye Yuan looked innocent; he really didn't know.

Teacher Fan was choked and said solemnly, "Anyone who draws a sword will be attacked by all the swords; no one has ever survived! But why didn't these swords attack you?"

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe... because I made friends with them?"
