True Monarch Lingjun of Heavenly Gang Peak has been intensely studying Array Dao for the past two years, inspired by Shi Xiaowu, and the two have become close despite their age difference, often discussing the connection between arrays and numerology.
Comforted by Jiang Yuebai, Shi Xiaowu's optimistic nature quickly allows him to leave failure behind.
"I've made considerable progress studying Array Dao these past two days, but the arena battles didn't showcase the essence of Array Dao. Qii Yue is on the arena there; I'll go see her first, Senior Sister."
Shi Xiaowu's face flushed slightly as he squeezed through the crowd to find Qii Yue. Jiang Yuebai watched from afar as Qii Yue was confidently commanding three puppets, winning several matches already.
Shi Xiaowu cheered enthusiastically, while Qii Ming, Qii Yue's brother, looked at Shi Xiaowu with some inexplicable dissatisfaction.
