Chapter 688 - 343: Challenging the 8th Rank _2
But he clearly saw the strength of his upcoming opponents. He didn’t know who he would face, but everyone else was in the same situation, only one win away from the top six. Could he win? Could he beat those who were better, even older and more talented than him? His heart wavered. But he really wanted to win, desperately so. He wanted to prove himself, prove that one day, he might be able to stand tall in front of her, speaking his heart out. Even though he might still shy away then, at least wouldn’t he have a tiny bit of qualification by then?
Being whipped around, usually ends badly. This phrase is something he’d heard from many people. But the fact there are still so many being whipped around in this world is due to the longing for inner beauty, isn’t it? Pure fondness is also a kind of inner satisfaction. At least that’s what he thought. Therefore, no matter what, he had to win, he must win this time. At least in his heart, only then would he be qualified to approach her.
"Tao Linlin, it’s time to draw lots." Suddenly patted on the shoulder, Tao Linlin jolted in surprise.
The one who patted him was a familiar friend from the Soul Temple. Tao Linlin said annoyedly, "Luo Xian, do you know that frightened people can scare people to death?"
Luo Xian looked at him with some confusion, "Why do I feel that you are not quite right today? Are you afraid of losing because you want to win? You can’t win with this attitude!"
Tao Linlin coughed, "Who said I’m afraid of win and loss, I must win!"
Luo Xian curled his lips, "Stop it. See who your opponent is. Everyone else has drawn lots, only you are left. Just go through the motions."
Tao Linlin paused, only then did he realize that while he was dazed before, everyone else had already drawn their lots. Apart from him, everyone else had already finished. In other words, his opponent had already been decided.
"Who am I up against?" Tao Linlin blurted out.
