"You fought well."
"Honestly, I was just lucky to win."
Across from him, Wan Zhixuan nodded. Of course, he knew.
In fact, in his own mind,
he had thought he would be the one to win this battle!
But in the end, he had lost his spot as a formal member of the Tianya Academy team.
Instructor Li Qiongtian, who had been watching them the whole time, finally relaxed his worried expression after confirming they weren't about to come to blows.
He turned around.
Instructor Li Qiongtian faced the other eight members of the Tianya Academy team and announced:
"The result of the challenge has been decided!"
"From this day forward, Zhou Zongcheng will be a formal member of the Tianya Academy team, while Wan Zhixuan will become a reserve member."
"However."
Instructor Li Qiongtian turned his head and gave Wan Zhixuan a comforting look.
"This isn't the end of the road!"
"A single victory or defeat doesn't determine the final outcome."
