I never knew you were so stubborn back then...
Did you win?
That's a bond forged through fighting.
Name it.
What's troubling you?
On it.
How did you go from a Stockader to a Wuling watchguard?
What's Senior Master like?
Did you lose?
You've done so much for her and Wuling.
My thanks.
Defeating Master isn't anything to celebrate... The trials ahead will only get harder.
Nothing escapes your eyes. I'm worried about Wuling.
I don't have time to patrol the city myself. Can you check on it so nothing slips through?
...
Back in the Stockade, all I thought about was fighting.
If the me now ran into the me then ... we'd probably get into a scrap.
(Yeah ... your temper probably hasn't changed.)
He's terrifying as a foe ... not just for his size and strength.
No more talk. Wuling's fate is in play. We cannot afford to lose.
After the masters left, no Stockader could match me. Yet I had an oath, so I went to challenge Wuling.
Wuling City was just a construction site at the time, not much bigger than the Stockade. Zhuang was the lead Tianshi. She took me on.
No. We fought for a long time. I passed out first.
So naturally, I asked for round two, tore my stitches, and nearly died. She saved me again, then made me stay to recover.
She told me I could go at her again once I was better. Then she reminded me that my fists weren't just for fighting — they were for protecting.
So I stayed long enough to become one of them. Now I throw punches to keep them safe.
Yeah... That ancient feud between the Stockade and Wuling always felt hollow to me. People just needed a push to drop it.
All this reminiscing almost made me forget... Endmin, can you do me a favor?
His mind and strategy.
When I came to, I learned Oripathy had almost killed me. She was the one who saved me.
What is his killer move, then?
