"I lost."
Lorand acknowledged his defeat.
Immediately, the referee announced the result of the match:
"The winner is contestant Yang Yu!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, the arena erupted with cheers and applause.
Amid these sounds, Yang Yu raised his sword and shield high, proudly puffing out his chest, savoring the hard-earned victory.
It's not that this match was extremely difficult, but rather... Yang Yu had gone through countless adventures, large and small, to stand on this stage.
No one, upon seeing Yang Yu three and a half years ago, would have believed he had the ability to stand on the stage of the Dragon God Conference and achieve victory.
Yet, Yang Yu indeed accomplished it.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Yang Yu approached Lorand and extended his hand in a friendly gesture.
Lorand gave a helpless smile, took Yang Yu's hand with his small arm, and stood up.
