The sparring ended in Arthur's loss, but it was only to be expected. However, he got to witness firsthand how much strength he could summon. With this, his goal has been fulfilled. Li ran to his side as soon as it was over to take care of him, but the caring attitude he had assumed made Arthur apprehensive.
His Release rune didn't evolve, but the backlash he got from it was a lot less. Unless he went to the bitter end, most of it would be some damage to his mana paths. With his newfound stamina, he didn't need to rest for extended periods every time he needed it.
Arthur left Li and returned to his room. He wanted to check his legacy so that he would have an accurate estimate of how much he 'at least' grew.
Sitting inside his giant room, Arthur never felt like home as he did now. He opened his legacy for the first time after he had broken through with a cool head.
