"Year by year passed, and I didn't even dare to inquire about Erlong's situation anymore, for fear that I wouldn't be able to resist looking for her. Lost in confusion, I could only devote all my energy to the research of my Martial Soul. It wasn't until I met you that I felt a rebirth of vitality within my heart. I placed my hopes on you. These years have been somewhat more bearable for me. I know Flander must have known that Erlong was here; he is not an impulsive person. If he hadn't known beforehand, how could he have chosen another academy right after the setback at the Tiandou Imperial Academy? I just didn't think too much about it at that time. Seeing Erlong again would only make me more miserable. Erlong is far stronger than me, and this time, even if I wanted to leave this painful vortex, I'm afraid it's already impossible."
