The audience below was still buzzing with discussion when Jiang Bai's voice from the Governor Mansion rang out across the martial arena once again.
"Second match: Huang Miaoyin from Holy Pill Sect versus Zhu Juhu from Mad Saber Sect."
The powerful voice reignited everyone's anticipation.
"Brother Gu, I lost again!"
Walking down from the martial arena, Lin Miaomiao approached Gu Sheng, feeling somewhat ashamed. After all, Gu Sheng had guided her, even helping her improve her Water-Piercing Sword Skill by incorporating techniques from the Dugu Nine Swords.
"Winning and losing are commonplace in martial contests—it's just a match. No big deal. The key is to improve, and next time, you can reclaim it!"
Gu Sheng analyzed further, saying, "Do you know why you lost this time?"
"Why did I lose?"
"You lost because of your weapon!"
