In the past six months, Lou Cheng had not had an official battle with the Dragon King, but the internal sparring never stopped. In the last two months, he only managed to win once or twice out of every ten matches, and that was when both parties held back.
That means the result could only be worse in a crucial match.
Zero chance of winning was too sweeping of a statement, but a ten percent chance of winning aligned rather well with the truth. This was the general consensus among top-tiered Mighty Ones, including Lou Cheng himself.
However, he wasn't going to wallow in self-pity or cower as long as there was a glimmer of hope. He would divert all his passion and courage to chase after his dreams, come what may, until he reached the end.
That had been his attitude since the start of his journey, an attitude that had been enforced by Dong Baxian in their previous match.
It was okay to lose, but never okay to surrender.
