"No, I should be the one thanking you."
Ba Yan looked up, his resolute eyes gleaming with a bright light. "If it weren't for you, for the perfect pressure you put on me, pushing me to my absolute limit, I don't know how many more years I would have lingered at the threshold of the Control Realm."
"It was you who helped me find my own path."
He was overcome with emotion.
For him, the value of this exhilarating battle had far surpassed victory or defeat.
He had finally broken through the paper-thin barrier that had troubled him for years, truly stepping into the domain of Control.
"But what a pity."
A bitter, regretful smile appeared on Ba Yan's face. "In the end, it's my first time stepping into this realm. My application of 'Control' is still too crude, too unrefined. If I had comprehended this slash half a year earlier, the outcome of today's battle… might have been different."
