"Your Battle Body is far stronger than an ordinary person's—even stronger than mine was back then. With the same number of Battle Marks, you would be invincible!"
Chu Shanhe continued.
Lu Ren said modestly, "Senior Chu Shanhe, you flatter me. You reached the Eight-Marked Battle Body and earned the admiration of later generations. Everyone looked up to you, yet not one of them had your courage!"
"Oh?"
Chu Shanhe looked slightly surprised. "How many marks has the person ranked first on the Battle Body Ranking reached?"
"Since your death, first place on the Battle Body Ranking has always belonged to a Seven-Marked Battle Body!" Lu Ren said.
"So none of them had the courage to start over after all!"
Chu Shanhe shook his head, a trace of disdain on his face.
Lu Ren looked at him and could not help asking, "Senior Chu Shanhe, don't you regret it at all?"
"Regret?"
Chu Shanhe froze, not having expected Lu Ren to ask that.
"You challenged the Nine-Marked Battle Body with a spirit that could shake mountains and rivers, but you failed in the end, didn't you? For one general to win glory, ten thousand bones must turn to dust. Now your remnant soul is shattered, and you have no chance to start over!"
Lu Ren spoke.
"Since I dared to challenge the Nine-Marked Battle Body, I was prepared to fail. I did fail, but my deeds will become a light that blesses all Battle Bodies!" Chu Shanhe said calmly.
Awe appeared on Lu Ren's face once more.
In truth, if he had been Chu Shanhe, standing in Chu Shanhe's place, he might not have had that kind of courage.
Unless he had truly been left with no other choice!
"Enough, junior. What is your name?"
Chu Shanhe looked at Lu Ren.
