At that moment, Zhuang Yi, whose condition had improved, turned to Zhong Ming and offered his sincere thanks.
"Zhong, thank you for saving my life, and thank you for sparing me just now."
At this, he gave a bitter laugh. "No wonder Xue Yao considered you the strongest on Longxi Peak. I'm convinced. From now on, I will follow your lead in any of Longxi Peak's decisions."
"But this is just for now. I won't stay defeated forever. I will challenge you again."
Zhong Ming: "...Whatever makes you happy."
Since Zhuang Yi had challenged him head-on instead of plotting in the shadows, Zhong Ming didn't mind much.
'After all, it only took a single drop of water.'
With that thought, having gathered enough information, Zhong Ming stood up again, his gaze turning once more to Shi Yun.
He hadn't forgotten his original goal: to see the limits of his strength after comprehending the Dao Rhyme - Flow of Water.
When Shi Yun felt Zhong Ming's eyes on him, his expression turned grim.
