Gong Yi Tianhe suddenly realized at this moment that his memory of the "defensive spell" formula was not so solid.

It is also quite difficult to control the power——

He thought the negative impact of his arrogance was small, but it turned out to be like a ghost that suddenly appeared when he was not aware of it.

"What's wrong, Master Gongyi? Could it be that your ability to control [Defense] is too poor and you don't know what to do for a moment?"

“…”

"It seems like you don't usually think about what to do in a situation where you have to defend yourself—"

Gong Yi Tianhe bit his lip——

The feelings of sadness and shame intertwined together, causing his throat to make an unusual sound.

"You must be feeling very complicated right now. You thought you were working very hard, but in the end, you discovered a weak link—" She smiled and said, "But now that you've made a mistake, what do you think is most important?"

"yes--"

"You mean reflection, right? Or regret—"

“…”

"However, I can clearly tell you that neither answer is correct," she said with a smile. "In my opinion, reflection and regret are both signs of incompetence. If the dead sheep is merely reflecting without taking action, then such reflection is the same as whining. Instead of wasting time on regret, it would be better to consider how to make amends for your mistakes. You might be thinking that after this competition is over, you can devote time to practicing [Defense]. But have you ever considered that fighting someone of my caliber isn't a common occurrence? If you miss this opportunity, there might never be another. If you keep doing math problems like 1+1=2, no matter how many books you do, your abilities won't improve at all. That sense of complacency will soon lead to slacking off. Or perhaps even your strength will be worn down by the humiliation of today's battle..."

Chu Shangli has been waving his dagger, while Gongyi Tianhe is also clumsily defending himself——

He also knew that Chu Shangli was actually giving in to her.

If Chu Shangli wanted to, the battle could be over in a minute, but she kept making light moves.

"so what……"

"You already know you're going to lose, don't you? But even if you're going to lose, you have to give it your all—I've already given in, but if you're still killed instantly by my blow, that proves nothing. It only means that it's difficult for your [Defense] to improve any further—"

Chu Shangli's voice was like a ghost lingering in his ears: "The right thing to do is to seize this opportunity. Observe my every move carefully and counter my every move. Even if you lose to me here, it will be a huge breakthrough. I don't think there are many people who are on par with me. For others, being able to defend against 60% of my strength may be a nightmare. No, it must be a nightmare..."

Gong Yi Tianhe had already made up his mind. Chu Shangli's words at this moment made Gong Yi Tianhe, who was feeling guilty about his [Defense Technique], quickly regain his spirits.

Yes, it doesn't matter——

Opportunities to battle against peerless masters don't come around often, so losing isn't shameful. Since the other party is willing to perform with him, he should accept the favor and not be disinterested.

Chu Shangli's movements were still very light, but after calming down, he could catch her moves more clearly——

Can see, can see indeed -

Take action, at this moment——

Dodge, in the next second——

Chu Shangli smiled beautifully, and her moves became faster and faster—like baseballs constantly popping up in a baseball practice field...
