Talking with Miao Xuanxuan ignited Song Xiaodong's battle spirit. He had always felt immense pressure when it came to his formidable opponent, which crushed his confidence, so he had never considered the future much.
Now, his battle spirit made him suddenly realize that the pressure he had been under was not solely inflicted by his adversary, but much of it was also self-imposed subconsciously. Without fighting, he had already lost the will to battle, so how could he hope to triumph over his opponent? As this realization dawned on him, he suddenly felt that he had clearly fallen into his adversary's trap, right into a scheme that had been laid out for him.
