Back then, he made a timely concession to avoid suffering such humiliation in public
But now, he found himself facing the same situation.
Landon's gaze flickered.
Should he give it a try?
He couldn't bear the thought of admitting defeat so easily.
He had always believed that he was not inferior to anyone.
He had stood behind Strachey before, biding his time, and now that he had entered the Stellar Academy, he continued to bide his time, all for the sake of obtaining that unique divine flame.
He believed that as long as he obtained that divine flame, he could surpass the person in front of him.
However, things weren't going as planned.
He hadn't even acquired the divine flame yet, and he was already dealing with a setback just to meet the prerequisites for obtaining it.
If he couldn't obtain the Azure Sea Pearl, capturing that divine flame would remain a pipe dream.
He refused!
He refused to give in!
