The man aimed at her heart.
Cheng Xiu ducked out of the way, huffing.
"Have you noticed that you get stronger after every fight?" he asked.
She frowned. "Isn't that kind of obvious? Wouldn't I get stronger the more I fight?"
The man laughed. "Not necessarily."
Cheng Xiu spun away from his jab. "What do you mean then?"
"Have you noticed that every time you leave the White Room, you become stronger?"
Cheng Xiu's mind spun. "What is this place?"
The man smiled. "The physical Representation of your mind, and body. And your Qi."
Cheng Xiu nodded. "So I get stronger after leaving the White Room because I was 'in contact with my inner self?'"
"You sound sceptical."
"Shouldn't I be?"
"It is not because you are in this room that you become more powerful. It is because it is in here that your Attributes are being enhanced by the System."
