Xu Luo retracted his fist and cupped it toward Lv Di. "A good fight."
Lv Di took a deep breath and cupped his fist at Xu Luo. "I am truly no match for Senior Brother Luo Tian. The gap between us is vast, but I will strive to... to close that distance. Next time, I will win!"
With that, Lv Di turned to the deathly silent stands. He gave a deep bow to each section, four bows in total, before declaring loudly, "To all my brothers and sisters who supported me, thank you! I was defeated today, but I will continue to work hard. See you at the next Celestial Brilliance Annual Competition!"
"Lv Di, you did great!"
"Brother, you didn't lose!"
"You've cultivated the True Dragon Armor! With time, you're bound to shine!"
The quiet stands erupted into a roar at Lv Di's words.
It turned out Lv Di had a massive number of supporters—nearly a million people. Moved by his sincerity, they gave him a thunderous send-off.
