Mystical Awakening Online: SotPM [Part 2] (CPN)

Chapter 315: A Sweet Victory and Bitter Taste

"Why?!" I was angry, "Why do this when you're the winner?"

Yuwanyx walked past me patting my shoulder. In passing he said loudly enough for the crowd to hear.

"It's not about winning or losing. Sometimes it's more enjoyable to watch the growth of others, and watch where they go.

I want to see what you two become, when it's all over. I'm expecting great things from you two. Get stronger. Don't disappoint me."

Yuwanyx walked over to his wife.

"Xuelian! Don't forget what we talked about!" Phenyone said out loud.

I looked over at Xuelian who was turning red. I was a little curious about what they spoke about.

After everything was said and done I was left with sense of unfulfillment. Yet it was strange that I felt a hopeful and happy that we were continuing on in the tournament.

Xuelian and I deciding to rest using the remainder of the day to process everything.

We didn't say much to each other for the remainder of the day, however neither of us really wanted to talk.

After our evening meal - Eaten in silence - we turned in for the evening, the day's event still on our minds.
