Fang Qianyuan slowly stepped onto the dueling platform, watching Liu Yeye approach from the opposite side, deep in thought.
At last, it's my turn to face her.
Although he had only heard Liu Yeye's name after arriving at Headquarters, people had mentioned her so often these past few days that her name thundered in his ears.
She was a senior sister several years older than him who had joined the sect earlier. Already blessed with extraordinary talent, she had also had ample time to develop it.
Now Fang Qianyuan had reached the final four, admirably fulfilled his academy's assignment, and caught the eye of a renowned master, who had sent a disciple to approach him early on.
As for rewards, his top-eight placement had satisfied the academy's higher-ups, so he was certain to receive plenty.
As for his prospects, an Earth Rank Expert valued him and the public thought highly of him. His future was undoubtedly bright.
One could almost say that he only needed to go through the motions in this battle. Hardly anyone cared about the result anymore; even if he lost without putting up any resistance, it would not matter.
No one would think Fang Qianyuan's worth had diminished because he lost to Liu Yeye.
Nor would anyone insist that Fang Qianyuan defeat her.
The simple phrase "no fault of his fighting" would be enough to sweep away every negative consequence.
But did I really come here just to go through the motions?
Fang Qianyuan searched his heart.
No!
I haven't won enough yet. I still want to win!
Whatever the situation, whoever my opponent is, I want to keep winning!
Everyone says I'm certain to lose, but once we actually fight, victory could still go either way!
