The Author's POV

Then high noon sun was blazing intensely hot, as the world was enveloped by a bright light.

Two days had passed since the round of thirty-two, and today was the round of sixteen. Right now, the area below the tree where the tournament was held was packed with people.

A bustling and boisterous atmosphere enshrouded the place.

Seated amongst the many spectators, Han Yufei quietly gazed in the direction of where the tournament stage was.

Replays of Ren's match against Kimor flashed across his mind as his fists clenched tightly.

'…I was right in admitting defeat to him last time.'

The reason why he had given up when fighting Ren was because he felt that he was holding back when fighting against him. Turns out his speculation was correct.

Ren had truly been holding back when fighting him.

The image of him pummelling down Kimor was deeply engraved inside Han Yufei's mind, and he could never take it away from his sight. It would forever be engraved in his mind.

"Crazy..." Han Yufei ended up muttering to himself.

They were both the same age, yet, the gap between them was so big.

He now understood where his confidence came from when he met him last time. He was confident that he could convince him through his domineering strength!

...and Han Yufei had to admit. He truly had won him over in terms of strength.
