Bai Zhi had previously told him not to get hurt, so upon hearing his opponent's words, Yan Yichen instinctively glanced in the direction where she had been. When he didn't see her, he couldn't help but scan the area, finally spotting her beside Yue Junxiao.
His gaze seemed to be asking a question, and at the same time, drawing strength for his resolve.
Upon seeing him, Bai Zhi said nothing. She simply watched him calmly, as if leaving the decision entirely up to him.
He stared at her for a long moment before finally declaring with conviction, "I will not concede."
Hearing this, the Beastman across from him scowled. 'This guy just doesn't know what's good for him.'
He shot a sidelong glance at Zelda, who was staring intently at the stage, then pressed his lips into a thin line. "Then don't blame me for what happens next."
He gathered his strength and charged at Yan Yichen.
