Shi Li did want to prevent as many people as possible from losing their lives in this competition.
But she was also afraid that one of her decisions would cause everyone to hold back.
When Ru Jin and Rui Xin had attacked, the team had held back significantly. She'd even been caught in a spatial lock because she was trying to avoid using her superpower.
If those two hadn't underestimated her, she would have been truly trapped. Even pausing time would have been useless at that point.
Her only option would have been to use her reversal ability, which consumed even more physical and spiritual power.
"It's fine. We'll adapt as we go."
"The most important thing is our own lives, of course." Shi Zhiyan had a pretty good idea of what Shi Li was thinking and quickly spoke up to relieve her of the pressure.
"If we can, the best outcome would be to force them to retreat and forfeit," Shi Li said, taking a deep breath as she finally stated her decision.
