Chapter 5: 24 Hours Part 2

Gongsun Ce recalled the battle from a short time ago and guessed, "Have you all met in the Non-Sky Pure Land?"

Having been inspired, step by step, I delved into research, devoted myself, and struggled to realize it, only to find that it had already been simulated by that man, a lackluster reenactment devoid of practical significance. The feeling of displeasure is much stronger than the frustration."

The harder he tried, the more he realized he was still walking the path laid out by the enemy; with each step forward, he experienced his own limits and felt even more profoundly the enemy's unfathomable strength. Gongsun Ce tried to imagine his friend's feelings, thinking that for someone who was competitive and liked to win, this might be an experience even more embarrassing than defeat.

"So you're pretty upset."

"Yeah, my pride as a martial artist has been wounded."
