"Congratulations, your Majesty. I hear you ended up in the top 100," Fang Yimu came to speak with Alex before she and Talia were to leave with the sect.

"I should be congratulating you for the victory instead," Alex said. "That was a job well done."

"Well, of course," the girl said with a prideful face. "I told you I would win, didn't I?" 

"I'm curious," Alex asked. "Did you use any artifact or something to win?" 

"Artifact? I carry some with me inside, but I did not win thanks to it," she said. "It is a spiritual technique that has been passed down through our sect that only the prime disciple is allowed to learn."

"I see," Alex said. "It is a shame I never got to see that technique."

"If you want, I can show it to you," she said.

Alex shook his head. "Maybe some other time," he said. "I assume you plan on winning next year too?"
