Nan Qiūqiū's reason for conceding was simple. She had already used her strongest soul skills in the previous battle, and they had significantly drained Meng Hongchen. With the Soul Power she had left, she basically had no chance of using them again in the coming fight.
If she continued fighting Meng Hongchen, the most likely outcome was that she would be easily defeated without causing Meng Hongchen the slightest trouble, and she might even suffer serious injuries.

Xu Sanshi being the third to compete had been decided in yesterday's discussion. Yet this fellow still had to put on an act.
Xu Sanshi rubbed his backside and pointed at Beibei indignantly.
"Beibei, just you wait!"
