However...
Win or lose, decorum must be maintained.
Having said that, Wu Li immediately broke into a wide, toothy grin, chuckling and bowing respectfully:
"I did not expect Brother Chen to emerge victorious. Nonetheless, I don't regret taking my chances. I must commend you."
"I'm impressed too - you don't seem to mind being so sunburned."
Upon seeing Wu Li's face, as dark as someone from a toothpaste commercial, Chen Xuan also chuckled and returned the bow.
"Sunburned?"
Wu Li was taken aback by his comment.
However, seeing the 'Ghostly Centipede' slowly return to the referee's side clarified matters.
The 'Ghostly Centipede', with its dark, ethereal form, must have been blocking his front, hence making him look entirely dark from Chen Xuan's perspective.
He's making fun of me with such a weak insult?
There's no sting in it...
Wu Li shook his head and laughed, then casually strolled down from the platform.
