To outsiders, it seemed like Wang Tao had won against Cheng Yiyi using his rich combat experience, catching her off guard and securing a narrow victory.
This aligns with everyone's expectations; after all, Wang Tao ascended to Level 5 earlier, so it's natural that he's stronger.
However, from Cheng Yiyi's perspective, since she understands Wang Tao very well, she distinctly felt that Wang Tao had held back his strength significantly.
This left Cheng Yiyi feeling a bit let down. She hadn't intended to beat Wang Tao; she simply wanted to catch up to him, but why did the gap seem to be growing even wider?
But Cheng Yiyi isn't the type to dwell on setbacks; she quickly bounced back. So there's a gap, just chase it! Whether she catches up or not, as long as she tries her hardest, she won't have any regrets.
"I admit, I'm still far behind you. But I will keep trying, and when we're both at Level 6, I'll challenge you again!"
Cheng Yiyi approached Wang Tao and spoke softly yet firmly.
