'Why was Qu River willing to fight for an Elixir for me, even going so far as to argue with Luo Chengxuan?'
'Wasn't it because he saw my potential and the returns I might bring in the future?'
'Just as Qu River said, one must fight when necessary and reveal one's edge at the right time.'
'If I hide my strength and back down from challenges, others will see me as a timid pushover. Not only would Han Xiong press his advantage, but I'm afraid even people within the True Martial Lineage, and perhaps Brother Qu River himself, would doubt whether I am worth the continued investment.'
'Once I'm labeled 'unpromising,' the path ahead will become even more difficult.'
Thinking of this, Chen Qing met Han Xiong's gaze and said, "Thirty thousand!"
"What?"
A trace of confusion appeared on Han Xiong's face.
Chen Qing said calmly, "Thirty thousand Contribution Points, and I'll agree to a match with you."
