"And I went through that entire process in just one month."
Chu Ge puffed out his chest, looking quite proud of himself.
"Let me show you the results of my month of training."
There was more than a little bragging in his words.
Everyone had seen how often Luo Yu had humiliated him during the Campus Tournament.
Being named one of the National Tournament's ten most tragic competitors was the best proof of that.
Now that he had a month's head start on Luo Yu in training, he naturally wanted to show off.

Luo Yu looked deflated. "That long? Fine, I'll wait twelve hours!"
Zhuo Jun smiled. "I did say that was if everything went smoothly."
