"Master, is this really possible?" Wang Duo asked his master doubtfully.
"Nothing's impossible, if you can join hands and defeat me, it would prove that you're ready to graduate. I would be very pleased, and perhaps I might find a place to retire in seclusion." The master's expression showed a hint of sadness, but it was fleeting.
Wang Duo nodded and walked towards us, clutching his stomach.
"Yue Ming, let's give it our all, so we can stay alive, to prove that we haven't been lazy over these years." Wang Duo had one hand on his stomach and the other on my shoulder.
Yang Feng also moved forward a few steps and stood beside me and Wang Duo.
"Senior brother, can we really do this?" This was the first time I had called Wang Duo senior brother; it was heartfelt, not casual like before.
"Yes! We have to prove ourselves to master, we can definitely do it." Wang Duo gave me a look of unwavering certainty.
