"Erza, after watching the boxing match, do you still want to challenge Gong Rong to a one-on-one fight?"
It was only when he heard Shen Mingzhu's question that Pei Ziheng understood, his mother hadn't brought him here to learn, but to scare him into giving up.
If he were just an ordinary twelve-year-old kid, he probably would have been scared out of his wits.
But he was a demon reborn twice over, and compared to the violence of wielding a blade in his past life, a boxing match was nothing.
"Mom, if I give up now, wouldn't that be giving up halfway?"
Shen Mingzhu was left speechless, a lump forming in her heart, "Of course not, perseverance is a good quality, but there are no absolutes in anything. Rather than blindly following a path, one must know their own limits."
"Just like with you and Gong Rong, the gap between you can't be changed or bridged in a short time. Mom isn't asking you to give up, just wondering if we could perhaps postpone this matter for a bit?"
