Fourteen straight wins

On the night the Promotion Tournament ended, rows of bonfires were lit at the Royal Hunting Grounds.

"I was applying medicine!"

Yuan Yu sat beside the bonfire, a bandage wrapped around the web of his right hand. Before returning the Wine Gourd to him, Xiao Wu shook it to make sure there wasn't a single drop left inside, then tossed it
