With his victory secured, Su JinHai walked back to his place beneath the Third Prince’s viewing stand where his fellow competitors were waiting for him. Upon arriving he gave a deep bow to the Su Clan’s Grandmaster Alchemist, Rudy.

When Hong returned to our side of the arena, he lowered his head toward Mo.
“I’m sorry. I failed.”
