Lin Mansion, Imperial City;
Allen was seriously sparring with Lin Xue, who was covered by sparks of lightning. As the former upgraded a rank, his strength increased. So, a four-circle realm swordmaster like Lin Xue couldn't defeat him but she was also managing on her own through the newfound power of lightning, not only making her movements fast but even her attack was also as strong as a peak-stage 4-circle realm expert.
Allen and Lin Xue's swords clashed for the umpteenth time. Allen suddenly kicked the ground and leaped back, exiting the dueling platform. "Lady Lin, the sparring hours are over, I need to get back to the store."
As he turned around and walk away, Lin Xue took out her pocket watch again, "11:18. Exactly 3 hours. Just how punctual is this guy."
She couldn't help but stare at his back until he disappeared from her sight.
