The captured shadow struggled, but when Xu Huo tugged a second time, it still drew in around the stage, finally turning into a human figure in his hands. It stood there obediently.
The Magician stared at him in shock. "Do you have split personalities?"
Xu Huo let go and released the shadow personality, then turned back. "Is that so strange?"
The Magician's gaze flickered as if he were weighing something. Only after a moment did he say, "People with split personalities usually have unstable Spiritual Worlds. They can't undergo Super Evolution in the mental realm. You can't have split personalities."
"If you say so." Xu Huo didn't seem to care. "But we've fought three times now, and every match ended in a draw. You can't get the better of me anytime soon, so why not talk about it another time?"
"You held back just now. If I keep pushing, I'll look like I don't know when to quit." The Magician waved a hand, and the stage vanished.
The two of them returned to the pure white Spiritual World.
"Not at all." Xu Huo smiled faintly. "You didn't try to kill me, either."
"But I have to get Magician's Gift," the Magician said. "I can trade you two A-class items for it."
Xu Huo raised an eyebrow. "That playing card is worth that much?"
"Maybe not to anyone else, but it is to me." The Magician spoke with certainty. "But there's no point trying to drive up the price. This is the best offer I can make."
"Seems you really aren't the Magician." Xu Huo paused. "You want Magician's Gift because it's connected to the real Magician, right? But none of the Super Players seem to have the title Magician."
"Magician's Gift was made by an A-class Player," the Magician said.
