"N-no… let's think about this properly… There's no way anyone could achieve resistance after just a few minutes from that level of attack. He must've already been on the verge of attaining cold resistance before fighting her. Yup. This has to be the explanation." Kelan suddenly convinced himself that this must be the explanation, as he found it impossible to believe that Yuan had started from nothing and attained cold resistance in just a few minutes. In other words, he was in denial, unable to accept the reality of Yuan's rapid progress.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Chu Liuxiang was sweating buckets after exhausting all of her spiritual energy. Unbeknownst to her, her efforts ended up benefiting Yuan greatly.
"Thank you for the training. It helped me a lot." Yuan said to her afterward.
"As a thank you, I'll face you seriously."
