What do I have to be afraid of?

Admit defeat? There was no way Wu Zhao could ever utter those words.

Continue? The sharp knife is closing in on my throat! Wu Zhao knew without a doubt that Chu Liuyue could end him there and then if she wanted to!

Countless pairs of eyes looked over.

Wu Zhao felt so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole!

"Hm?" Chu Liuyue flicked her dagger, which made a clinking sound.

Wu Zhao shivered, and as if resigning himself to his fate, he said with closed eyes, "You win!"

There was pin-drop silence.

Wu Zhao actually… conceded defeat?! He, a stage-five warrior, actually lost to a stage-three warrior?! If the news spreads, it's bound to make waves in Xi Ling City!

"Have I lost touch? When did stage-three warriors outside Heaven's Canopy become this strong?!" mumbled someone in the crowd.

"Or maybe Wu Zhao's ability as a stage-five warrior… is fake?"
