Guo Zhen took the initiative to challenge Zhao Shenkong, but ended up on the losing end. This was a hard pill to swallow for Guo Zhen and it also dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Meng Kingdom.
However, no one perceived Guo Zhen as being too weak. In this contest of fire control, Guo Zhen wasn't inferior in any way.
Guo Zhen lost due to the lack of a Fire Spirit, which Zhao Shenkong possessed.
The advantage of having a Fire Spirit was enough to completely tip the scale in this evenly matched duel.
"You lost." Zhao Shenkong retracted his golden flames, casting a slightly contemptuous look at Guo Zhen.
Guo Zhen clenched his fists, his face filled with malice but he did not utter a word.
Zhao Shenkong slightly smiled and turned to leave. Despite refraining from any more insults or sneers at Guo Zhen, his casual demeanor irked Guo Zhen and the others from the Meng Kingdom even more.
"Hmm?" Turning around, Zhao Shenkong spotted Fang Lin sitting in an elevated position.
