Ultimate Fighting

a Battle Armor after mastering their profession.

If it was any other academy, under normal circumstances, it was very common to ask a specialist teacher to help make one.
But Shrek didn’t have this rule.
Teachers would never help students make Battle Armors, there was only mutual assistance between the students.

Walking side by side on the path of the academy, the weather was very good today, and when the sun was at its peak, the life energy coming from the direction of the Eternal Tree would naturally become more abundant.

Although the two were young, they were both extremely good-looking.
On the road, students passing by, regardless of their age, would look back and pay attention unconsciously.

“Why did you want to watch forging with me? I remember that you’ve always liked designing?” Lan Xuanyu asked Dong Qianqiu.

Dong Qianqiu glanced at him.
Girls developed early.
They were about the same height at this age.
“I just want to see it, can’t I? Or do you not want to be together with me ?”

Her big dark blue eyes rolled while looking at Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu stared blankly, and shook his head quickly, “Of course not !”

“Then hurry up let’s go.” As she said, Dong Qianqiu grabbed Lan Xuanyu’s hand, and she accelerated, striding towards their destination.

Her hands were a bit cold, her palms slightly sweaty.
Her grip was very tight, and she walked quickly, surpassing Lan Xuanyu in one fell swoop.

Lan Xuanyu was being led forward by her, and a strange feeling rose in his heart instantly, she… she took the initiative to hold my hand?

What is this situation ?

He could see from his position that Dong Qianqiu’s ears were red, and her skin delicate, and under the sun, her red ears looked slightly transparent, giving people the impulse to rush up and take a bite.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t speed up his pace to catch up, and let himself being pulled forward by Dong Qianqiu.
The two of them walked one in front, one behind as if they were hurrying towards somewhere, but their hands stayed in each other’s.
Lan Xuanyu had also grasped back her hand tightly.

Shrek Academy was really too big, after five minutes of walking, the destination of their trip was still far away.

“Xuanyu, I’m sorry!” Suddenly, Dong Qianqiu slowed down, her ears not red anymore.

“Why are you sorry?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

Dong Qianqiu didn’t look at him, she just said: “When I first arrived at the academy, Mengqin big sis would always tease me about us.
I got a little shy, so I deliberately kept a distance from you.
I don’t like other people talking about us.
I’m sorry.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong!” Lan Xuanyu scratched his head, a little embarrassed, but he could clearly feel that the thin barrier that had previously been erected in his heart melted away with these two simple words.

“You’re right, I didn’t do anything wrong.” Dong Qianqiu suddenly turned around and looked at him with a sweet smile.
The expression in her eyes was a bit weird and then she flung off his hand.
Smiling like a silver bell, she turned around and ran.

Lan Xuanyu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
Yes! This was Dong Qianqiu, a good friend who was a little proud, cold, and beautiful, but who was also somewhat close to him.
Well, at their age, they could only be good friends.

“Where are you running.” Lan Xuanyu quickened his pace to chase her.
Dong Qianqiu’s feet also sped up quickly, using the footwork taught by Nana, and ran forward with big strides.

Lan Xuanyu chased after her.
Although his physical fitness was far superior to that of his peers, there was indeed a gap between his cultivation and Dong Qianqiu’s, and he clearly felt that her speed seemed to be faster than before.
While running, her dark blue hair waved beautifully, like a dancing fairy.

The two of them ran and chased after each other, and it seemed that the distance wasn’t that long anymore.
It was not long, at least not long in Lan Xuanyu’s mind, and they saw a spire building.

The scale of the building was quite impressive, not much smaller than the main teaching building of the Outer Court.
A plaque with a hammer hung at the door, with the words Shrek Blacksmiths Association written next to it, their destination was here.

Dong Qianqiu stopped and turned to look at Lan Xuanyu.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu was chasing after her and rushed to the front, he hurriedly braked, almost running into her.
