"The way this is going, I will undoubtedly lose."
"I have no choice but to burst out," Hoffman's eyes flashed with ferocity," I had planned to save this for the finals, but I'll use you for practice."
He hadn't taken Li Yuan very seriously before, thinking that Li Yuan had just broken through to the Fifth Stage not long ago and could be easily defeated.
