Heaven rewards those who persevere. After countless attempts, Qu Jianlei finally found the feeling he had been searching for.
Unfortunately, this bout of Sudden Enlightenment lasted... less than a second.
But after this experience, his confidence soared. Before long, there was a second time, then a third...
