As Liu Mei's expression shifted from confusion to determination, a grin slowly spread across her face. It was as if she was coming to some profound realization, spurred on by Cain's simple yet powerful words.
Meanwhile, Ren Feng remained rooted to the spot, his lips moving silently as he wrestled with his own thoughts.
"Try harder..." he muttered, barely audible. "Isn't it just a risk to try harder? So many things can go wrong if one tries a little too hard. But then again, how can I stand here if I didn't give it my all in the past? Hmm..."
As Ren Feng continued his internal debate, weighing the risks and rewards of pushing beyond his perceived limits, Zhen Tianyun had taken a different approach.
The cunning cultivator had seated himself in a meditative pose, his eyes closed in deep concentration.
Unlike the others, who were grappling with personal growth and self-reflection, Zhen Tianyun's mind was racing with calculations and schemes.
