After Izroth and Qi Jiguang finished their final match, there was no one else who wanted to challenge Izroth to a duel.
To Mirage's and Midnight's surprise, Qi Jiguang appeared to be spirited instead of depressed as a result of his crushing defeats. However, Qi Jiguang had made it clear that although he had lost the battle, he had not given up on the war.
Now that he had a goal to strive towards, Qi Jiguang was fired up. He understood that even if Izroth was stronger than him at the moment, he felt that as long as he pushed himself it would be possible for him to one day catch up. It may not be tomorrow, next week, or next year, but he decided that no matter how long it took he would not stop until he reached that same level or even better yet, surpassed it!

Four hours later...
Just a heads up, there will not be a chapter release tomorrow (08/28/2019) due to some IRL(in real life) things, however, there will be a double release the following day(08/29/2019) to make up for the missed chapter. Also, starting 08/31/2019, release days may be infrequent due to the fact that the area I live in is currently facing a hurricane(so I may be without power or internet for a few days). However, I will try to find a way to get chapters uploaded regardless! :) Have an amazing day/night.
