449 What nonsense is this old man spouting?!

William stood amidst the crowd, his gaze slowly settling on the man.

Elliot from Echoes of Eternity Guild, also dubbed a "Chosen One," had impressively advanced from a mid-level Soulmancher to a Demi-God level in strength in such a short time, truly a prodigy of the heavens.

It seemed only he and someone like Lucien would desire a relationship with Evelyn.

But William sensed that Evelyn intended to use Elliot to kill him.

While others were unaware of William's true strength, Evelyn knew it well. Her words in the classroom were nothing short of sending Elliot to his doom.

A direct confrontation?

Garen, teaching this swordsmanship class, couldn't help but inwardly chuckle seeing Elliot point at William. Did this mean he would get to see William wield his sword again?

He didn't think too much into it. In his view, given William's status, if someone like Elliot challenged him to a sword fight, William would likely just give him some pointers.

The outcome seemed predictable,William most likely wouldn't kill him.

Elliot, a young man of great talent and potential, was under the watchful eyes of protectors sent by various guilds, standing 300 feet away. William, too, would surely appreciate such a gifted youngster.

"You're talking about me?" William stepped forward, fixing his gaze on Elliot. He couldn't fathom why these people were so relentlessly targeting him. Were they eagerly seeking their demise?

Elliot sneered, "Yes, you. I've heard of you. Come on out. The thing I can't stand the most in my life is a pretty boy. Let me teach you a lesson."

Garen didn't know quite how to describe his feelings at that moment.

It's okay for young people to be a bit brash, but they should choose their targets wisely!

Challenging William to a sword fight might have been harmless, but speaking those words seemed tantamount to courting death...

It was utterly reckless!

Before William could speak, Zoey stepped forward from behind and shouted, "Hold on! I'll fight you!"

Elliot glanced at Zoey and laughed, "Director Wenzel, you're not a student, right? You are the Dean of Students. This is a contest among classmates, what's the meaning of your interference? Is this pretty boy your little lover?"

Zoey frowned and, without wasting words, charged towards Elliot, launching a punch.

The blue stones under Emeric's feet shattered, and a palm print appeared on the back of his white robe.

"Worthy of the Warrior God Constitution!" Emeric's gaze turned cold. He jerked forward from the chest, sending Zoey flying backward.

While Zoey's palm had hit him, the significant gap in their power levels meant it didn't cause any real damage to Emeric.

As Zoey was propelled backward, Emeric, swift as lightning, followed, his hands transforming into claws and viciously aiming for Zoey's throat.

He had intent to kill!

However, just before his palms could reach Zoey's throat, his entire arm exploded, and he was sent flying backward.

William watched Emeric impassively.

Kill Zoey in front of him?!

What was he thinking?

Regardless of the relationship between Zoey and him, since Zoey had stood up for him, he would absolutely not let anything happen to her.

"Garen! What do you mean by this?" Emeric, pale-faced and with traces of blood on his face, finally stabilized himself and glared furiously at Garen, shouting indignantly, "Whatever unclear relationship you have with that student named William is none of my concern. Why did you interfere with my fight against this woman?"

Upon hearing this, Garen first looked utterly bewildered, then his face turned beet red.

"You... what are you talking about?" Garen was on the verge of exploding.

Accusing me of having an unclear relationship with a student named William?

What is he implying?!

What nonsense is this old man spouting?!

Emeric, whose arm was inexplicably severed, was convinced that Garen was responsible and, disregarding everything else, bellowed, "Do you think we don't know about your relationship with that pretty boy William? Your improper relationship with him has spread throughout the entire Soulmancer realm, and it seems you're the only one unaware of it!"

"The esteemed Guild Master of the Emerald Lion Guild, harboring such a perverse preference! Aren't you afraid of being mocked?"

"I was killing that woman, shouldn't that have pleased you?" Emeric said resentfully, "I took care of your love rival for you, and you repay me by crippling my arm. This grudge is irreconcilable!"
