The victor was decided. The duel ended with Feng Hao clutching a narrow victory with low health.
But Ming Xin Yan knew that it wasn't a narrow victory at all. Feng Hao had been going easy on her from the very beginning, and he'd done it so skillfully that no one could tell.
In the noisy crowd below the stage, Lu Linfei went to congratulate Feng Hao, while Ting Xiaoxue went to console Ming Xin Yan.
From the moment she stepped off the stage, Ming Xin Yan wore a furious, teeth-gritting expression. As she took a Qi Blood Pill to recover, she raged at Feng Hao, "You just wait! When I can finally beat you, I'll challenge you to a spar every single day, and I'll go easy on you every single time!"
"..." Lines of frustration appeared on Feng Hao's forehead. "We're all on the same team. What's the big deal about going easy on you?"
"Who's on the same team as you?" Ming Xin Yan snapped, exasperated. "I don't need anyone to go easy on me!"
