"अगर this kept going, our ranking would keep dropping. We had to think of something..."
Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then opened the roster for the Sword Discussion Assembly. He discovered that among the dozens of upcoming Sword Discussion matches, Void Gate's greatest opponent in the Xuan-Grade Matches was actually...
