Bab 582: Don't Fight Battles You Can't Win

The excitement in the Imperial Arena was in full swing during the eighth match between Yuusha Mashiro, the White Hero, and Zhuo Jun, the Young Sage.

In this match, Mashiro used one of his cheat abilities to defeat his opponent swiftly as he had to preserve his strength for the truly worthy opponents. He would obviously get to cross blades with the Elysion Church's top-tier participants in the next round.

"You are a formidable opponent. I would be very pleased if you would fight alongside me to exterminate the demons." Mashiro extended his hand to his opponent.

He was declared the victor, but he wished to gain more than a victory, namely establish more friendships with the worthy, best talents.

"It is difficult for me to understand how I lost, but it was still due to my lack of strength and insight." Zhuo Jun, one of the most talented prodigies, accepted his defeat with a sigh.
