When old friends reunite, excitement is only natural.
But excitement comes in varying degrees. The thrill Chu Feng felt upon seeing Little Fishy was extraordinarily intense — even by his standards.
But compared to Chu Feng, Egg Egg was even more excited.
She was jumping up and down inside the Spirit World space, flailing her arms and legs in unrestrained glee...
In all these years, through all the reunions with friends, she had never been this happy before.
It was clear she truly adored that girl, Little Fishy.
However, compared to the excitement of Chu Feng and Egg Egg, Little Fishy's expression was ice cold.
Because she couldn't see the two of them at all — she could only see Jie Tian.
And from those frigid eyes, it was obvious that Little Fishy despised Jie Tian.
"Old fool, what do you mean by this?"
"That 521 was originally supposed to forge barrier armor for Fishy."
"What right did you have to snatch him away?"
The female elder, upon seeing Jie Tian and the skinny old man appear, pointed straight at the skinny old man and unleashed a torrent of abuse.
Hearing this, the skinny old man hurried to explain.
Jie Tian, however, offered no response.
But the female elder refused to let it go.
Under these circumstances, the skinny old man's attitude shifted from polite to hostile.
Soon the two of them were at each other's throats.
And at that moment, Chu Feng also learned the gist of the situation.
It turned out that after he had left, Little Fishy and the female elder had gone to thank the forgers.
They later learned that it had all been thanks to Chu Feng.
But by the time they arrived, Chu Feng had already been taken away by Jie Tian.
That was why the female elder harbored such resentment.
But compared to the female elder, Little Fishy didn't seem interested in arguing.
As the argument between the female elder and the skinny old man grew more and more heated...
Little Fishy suddenly spoke.
"Let's go inside."
Her tone was calm, but when she said those words, she didn't look at Jie Tian.
And the moment she finished speaking, she walked toward the barrier wall.
Seeing this, the female elder and the skinny old man stopped arguing.
If Little Fishy herself had nothing more to say, then there was no point in the female elder continuing the fight.
In truth, she understood perfectly well — with the Grand Elder backing Jie Tian, there was nothing she could change.
All her words had been nothing more than venting her frustration, and that was all they would ever be.
Whoosh—
Jie Tian swept his sleeve, and a barrier armor materialized before him.
Chu Feng finally laid eyes on Jie Tian's barrier armor.
It wasn't particularly tall — only ten meters.
But it was exquisitely crafted, shaped to match Jie Tian's own proportions, with the only difference being the enlarged scale.
"As expected."
Chu Feng uttered those two words because, as a Spirit World Master, one glance was enough for him to tell that Jie Tian's barrier armor was genuinely powerful.
It was, in fact, no weaker than the barrier armor he had helped Little Fishy upgrade.
No wonder Little Fishy had lost to Jie Tian in their earlier contest.
Because her previous barrier armor, compared to this one, was simply leagues behind.
Whoosh—
Right at that moment, Little Fishy also summoned her barrier armor.
But unlike Jie Tian's, this barrier armor melded directly onto Little Fishy's body — a true perfect fit.
It was the barrier armor Chu Feng had completely reforged, infused with the unique characteristics of Little Fishy's bloodline.
Upon seeing Little Fishy's barrier armor, not only Jie Tian but even the skinny old man's eyes went wide.
"Lady Fishy, where did you get a new barrier armor?"
"Lord Jie Tian, why don't you have one?" the skinny old man asked.
Because the difference between Little Fishy's current barrier armor and her previous one was staggering.
The skinny old man assumed this was an entirely new creation.
And such a dramatic improvement put him in a foul mood.
"A new barrier armor?"
"Can't you tell? This is the same one as before?" the female elder shot back.
"You're kidding — the same one?" The skinny old man's face was full of disbelief, because it didn't look like the same armor in any way.
And at that moment, Jie Tian spoke.
"Did someone modify it for you?"
