Through his wits, Nian Bing had managed to avoid many crises so far. But after hearing Garmandis's words, he gradually realized that if he constantly avoided everything, he would never become a truly powerful Mage. How could a person who regularly hides away ever have the menacing demeanor of a powerful Mage? In battles between masters, momentum often determined the outcome. In this moment when there was no chance of escape, Nian Bing finally understood the meaning of Garmandis's words. He quietly vowed that no matter what challenges he faced in the future, he would no longer flee. Under these circumstances, as long as he didn't die, his rate of power growth would surely increase by leaps and bounds, and perhaps he might even stand a chance against the Ice-Snow Goddess Sacrifice.
