"Elder, I'm sorry."
Yu Yao came before Zhuo Shi.
He lowered his head in shame.
He felt he had let Zhuo Shi's expectations down.
He had actually failed to defeat even a two-ring Soul Grandmaster.
Zhuo Shi looked at him.
His expression was somewhat complicated.
He wanted to rebuke Yu Yao for his incompetence.
But then he remembered that Yu Yao was also an outstanding student of this year's Shrek Academy.
Moreover, Yu Yao had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him.
So after a moment's consideration, Zhuo Shi suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
He put on a magnanimous expression.
"It's all right."
"That Gu Yue's strength is indeed rather unusual."
"It's understandable that you lost without knowing your opponent's true strength."
"Failure is nothing. What matters is that you learn from your shame and strive to become stronger."
"Just remember this defeat and make sure to win back your honor in the future."
"Don't take it too much to heart. She is, after all, the disciple of the Mystic Phoenix Douluo. It's normal for her to possess things ordinary people cannot comprehend."
Though Zhuo Shi was furious inside, he kept up appearances.
His flawless performance moved Yu Yao deeply.
He was immensely touched that this academy elder did not care about his reputation, but instead "cared" about their mental well-being.
Little did he know.
Zhuo Shi had already cursed them viciously in his heart countless times.
The silent Ye Xinglan did not join in comforting him.
She did not think there was anything to comfort.
After all, they had been brimming with confidence before the battle.
Their defeat was only to be expected.
Ye Xinglan was a rather pragmatic person.
She felt that rather than offering comfort, it was more practical to prove oneself through strength.
