"No way, then your opponent has to be pretty good, right?" Wu Yu said subconsciously, but he immediately realized he had said the wrong thing. Didn't that mean he didn't think highly of her?

Philliss, without much guile, simply recounted the facts: "As soon as I stepped onto the stage, my opponent said he knew he was no match for me and then surrendered immediately."

"Does this mean that victory or defeat isn't just decided on the stage, but also off it? This is the difference between people," Wu Yu muttered to himself.

"Wu Yu, do you think I'm really that amazing?" Phillis looked at Wu Yu with pleading eyes.

"Of course, you're a beautiful girl with both strength and looks." Wu Yu could lie without batting an eye.

"He's not as amazing as you make him out to be," Phillis said a little embarrassed.

"Alright, Violet's battle should be starting soon, let's go take a look," Wu Yu invited.

"Um."

The two then walked together toward another arena.

On the way, Philliss suddenly asked, "Wu Yu, with your strength, magic shouldn't be of any advantage to you, so why do you still want to learn magic?"

"Magic does offer me very little help, but what I love is magic itself. For me, being able to learn magic is enough." Wu Yu recalled his past tedious studies. Although it was also about learning new things, magic could fascinate him.

“But magic is essentially a kind of power, and power is just a tool to hurt others. Why do you like something so dangerous, Wu Yu? And it’s not just Wu Yu, many people I’ve met seem to be pursuing power. Is power really that fascinating?” Phillis continued to ask.

Seeing the troubled Philliss, Wu Yu was surprised that she could ask such a profound question. However, Wu Yu was not a philosopher, so he could only offer his own thoughts.

"You may not crave power because you were born with everything, while for others, power is the best means to acquire everything. Power itself has no meaning; people pursue what power can bring."

"Does Wu Yu want those things?" Phillis blinked, looking at Wu Yu with his pure golden eyes, and asked.

“I must have really wanted it in the past, but now, I also want to know what I really want?” Wu Yu said with a wry smile.

"Oh." Violet nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, they arrived at the arena where Violet was.
