That afternoon, the finals of the Youth Tournament officially concluded. Hong Nianyi took this year's championship with zero suspense; there wasn't a single match that forced her to use a second strike.
This also declared that among the students from the year above Xu Wuyi, Hong Nianyi was the undisputed number one—at least, for now.
Meanwhile, Xu Wuyi's achievement of reaching the top 64 in the Youth Tournament gave everyone much to talk about. For a first-year student, this was a glorious accomplishment to be admired.
Xu Wuyi logged out of the Battle Network, his consciousness returning to the tranquility of Villa #7 in Hidden Dragon Garden.
His body felt no fatigue. Instead, the image of his brief clash with Hong Nianyi replayed itself in his mind again and again.
It wasn't that she had overwhelmed him with strength or speed, but that there was a chasm between their Realms.
