"Don't make excuses for your incompetence. Your opponent won't show mercy because you can't achieve your goals. In the last tournament, if your Line of Destiny could have pulled in Pei Yan, even if he was possessed by that annoying girl, you wouldn't have lost so badly," said the tall, lean man, knocking his pipe against his hand as he gestured lightly over the chessboard, resetting the pieces.
After finishing these tasks, he sighed and said with a bitter smile, "In order to turn the tables against me, my old friend has put all his pieces on the Child of Origin that the stinking girl from the Daoist Plane nurtured. And he will be the main opponent you will face in this tournament. To achieve victory, he went so far as to give the Divine Artifact to his hands. It's hilarious that I crafted this artifact for him, and now it's being used against me. Why couldn't he be obedient like that old dog and just follow my lead?"
