The return of the martial apprentice to the camp didn't elicit any reaction, as it had been the same every day for the past twenty-five days, albeit each day later than the last.
But when the words of the martial apprentice spread from the barracks and then throughout the thirty-six camps, everyone was again dumbfounded!
"No, no lockdown?"
"Not even half a year..."
"Could it be, could it be that Apprentice Xie Tian was defeated, defeated?"
...
This speculation struck everyone like lightning, nearly scaring them to death.
Fortunately, the martial apprentice soon spoke again.
"Xie Tian, once you truly possess the qualifications to battle me, I will wash away these twenty-five days of humiliation!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as these words meant that the martial apprentice had not been defeated, only...
Humiliation?
Erasing twenty-five days of humiliation?
Compared to the martial apprentice's defeat, this was no small matter either!
