But there's no "what if" in everything.
Lost is lost.
"I, I concede defeat, Jia Yan, you are formidable."
The Giant Horn gazed deeply at Jia Yan, then sighed bitterly, accepting his defeat helplessly.
Though reluctant, and believing that he should have won, the reality was that his forefoot was pressed against his head; with Jia Yan's exertion, he would be annihilated. To be unwilling to concede would truly lack the demeanor of the strong ones.
In future real battles, no one will care if you're willing or not. If you die like this, no one will have sympathy for your unwillingness.
So lost is lost.
"Very well, Jia Yan, you did well, but this is not enough to make up for your failure to advance in rank. Do you agree?"
Even the Insect Queen was silent for a while before she spoke to Jia Yan.
However, listening to her tone, it seemed less cold and icy than before.
