Fang Tian stared hard, fists clenched behind his back.

Down on the arena floor, Fang Mei stood tall amid the fading echoes of her battle.

Internally, he whispered, You can do it, Fang Mei… You can do it.

A quiet scoff echoed in his mind.

"Look at you," came Qin Shi Huang's voice from within the ring around his neck.

"Why don't you just shout it out for her to hear, instead of whispering like she can read your mind the way I do?"

Fang Tian didn't respond at first.

Then, "Master… I don't suppose she'd lose this match, right?"

"No, she'll definitely win," the ancient spirit murmured, voice unexpectedly serious. "From what I've noticed everytime you are with her, this Fang Mei is beyond impressive. Majestic, even. But there's something that's been holding her back."
