The Wood Ability within Xie Yuhuan had almost been completely absorbed by the Poisonous Thorn. She knew she was no match for Tang Yiyi, so she admitted defeat decisively rather than stubbornly pressing on.
After conceding, Xie Yuhuan felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy shackle had been lifted from her body. It was then she realized that she had blinded herself by overthinking, nearly being doomed by the Third Level Poisonous Thorn's seed!
She looked at the Poisonous Thorn seed in Tang Yiyi's hand with a complicated gaze. Watching it struggle for a moment before resigning and severing all tiny vines to revert to its round seed form, her mood grew increasingly complex.
This seed was a safeguard given to her by her mother, and before the duel, she hadn't planned to use it. She didn't want to win dishonorably, and also feared she wouldn't be able to control it. Who knew Tang Yiyi's strength would far exceed her expectations!
