It was as if he did not want his path to the top to be tainted.
After all, Shenhua's escape meant that he would be able to advance to the next round, which meant that he would have a bye in the third round.
He hadn't suffered any damage in the process, and he hadn't even wasted a single bit of energy. This was extremely unfair to his next opponent.
Only by fighting could he make his victory well-deserved and impeccable.
However, Su Mo knew that Hun Li's thoughts were far more complicated than those of the Diremonsters.
Perhaps he did have the intention to perfect his record of reaching the top.
However, more importantly, they wanted to stop or even defeat Shen Hua to gain merit point.
After all, Shenhua was currently a wanted criminal in Fallen Star Lake.
If they could successfully capture him, they would definitely be able to gain the favor of the Choir Rat Grand Sage.
