Gao Xin calmly said, "You are mistaken; in fact, I am eager to fight you fair and square."
"But first, I want to ensure I am at my best."
Themis suddenly understood, "You mean, first make yourself the best version you can be?"
Gao Xin said, "Yes, the preliminary round has its rules, and the tournament has its own rules."
"In the tournament, it's one-on-one until one side wins, and both can use all their strength without any reservations, even if it means death, the organizers will instantly save the target."
"But the preliminary is different; here, within the rules, you can go to any lengths. As soon as I landed, I faced an attack by thousands."
"Different environments have different objectives and strategies."
"So my objective in the preliminary round is to become stronger, whether it's against you or anyone else, everyone is a tool to achieve this goal."
