"You!" Hearing Xin Yun's sharp words, Lan Se's ample chest heaved violently for a while... Lan Se said in a deep voice, "Although you saved me, I hope you can show some respect. I haven't offended you, have I?"

Snorting, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "The only reason I saved you was out of pity. How pitiful you are, defeated by an opponent so much weaker than yourself. How can you face anyone from now on, how can you have the nerve to fight again? Have you never questioned it? Your strength is weak, really weak, so weak that you're not even on par with a Bronze-level rookie.

Your previous self-evaluation was nothing but an illusion, not at all realistic. In fact... you are a worthless, extremely weak little rookie with no prospects for the rest of your life. You're finished, completely finished... There's no hope for you in life anymore."

Listening to Xin Yun's scathing language, Lan Se was initially trembling with rage, but gradually, she began to lower her head. Yes... what he said was true. Even she herself thought the same, let alone others. It's over... her life is completely over, there's no hope left in her life...

Seeing Lan Se's despairing face and her helpless expression, Xin Yun's heart ached tremendously. After understanding everything, Xin Yun suddenly realized how truly pitiful she was, how bitter her life was.

She was first devastated in the Head of the Institute's challenge match against Po Kong, losing all hope for her future and her confidence in battle completely shattered. In the following years, her performance kept declining until she had no choice but to end her studies early and leave this place of sorrow.

Normally, as a woman, even if she didn't fight, she could still have a good ending, living a warm life. However, Lan Se unluckily met Xin Yun, and before even a year of a good life could pass, Xin Yun went off philandering again. Hit by this blow, Lan Se also lost hope in life. There was nothing left in this world that could shine light into her existence.

Upon closer reflection, Lan Se's death was not totally devoid of vitality; analyzing it now, she was just truly tired of living, sick of everything, and desperately seeking release. This world had completely broken her heart. She was no longer willing to live in it.

Remembering the past, Xin Yun's heart twisted in pain. What he owed her in a previous life, he must compensate her for in this one. No matter what, at the very least... Xin Yun would give her a happy life!

Looking at the despairing Lan Se, Xin Yun continued in a deep voice, "How about it? Did I hit a nerve? Do you feel despair? Do you feel like you can't see the light anymore?"

Faced with Xin Yun's question, Lan Se still lowered her head, standing there pale, neither arguing nor answering. They say there is nothing greater than the death of the heart, and that was her current state.

For Lan Se, defeat was not scary, but to be defeated so thoroughly, especially by someone who was so much weaker than herself, was something she couldn't accept.

Given Lan Se's current state, probably not even a deity could save her now. She was thoroughly convinced by her defeat to Po Kong, finding absolutely no excuses for herself, beyond the help of any consolation.

At this point, Lan Se had lost all hope, her spiritual pillar. She had lost her will to fight, her confidence in battle, and even her self-confidence. A person like this would never become a master, even in death.

However, though she could not be consoled, it didn't mean there was no solution. There is always a way to solve anything; the key is whether you can find the trick to it.

Although Xin Yun was harsh, practically trampling on Lan Se's dignity and pushing her into an abyss of despair from which there seemed no return, this was exactly the result Xin Yun had intentionally created.

"Break and rebuild" as the saying goes. First break, then establish. Now that she was in utter despair and beyond salvation, the only thing to do was to let her despair completely, to lose all confidence in herself, and then, in a moment, give her a new hope for rebirth.

Like this, Lan Se would cling to this lifeline like a drowning person, holding on to it even in death, with nothing able to change that.

Looking into Lan Se's lifeless eyes, Xin Yun let out a soft sigh and continued, "Let me ask you a question. How do you think the three of our strengths compare?"

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, although Lan Se didn't answer, scenes of the three fighting flashed involuntarily in her mind. With just a bit of thought, the experienced Lan Se couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Yes... not to mention comparing with Po Kong, even compared to these three at only the Bronze or Silver level, the gap was so vast. It seems... fighting really isn't suitable for her.

She's too far behind. It's hard to understand how she even got this far before...

"Hehe..." Smiling at Lan Se, Xin Yun said proudly, "You probably haven't realized it, but in fact... all this time, we have all been using just basic combat techniques to fight. If we really wanted to use our Trump Card Combat Techniques, huh... even Po Kong might not hold on. I'm confident I can defeat him!"
