When he woke up from the dream world, Xia Ming held his head and remembered when Trasia was most confident.

Lively Theresia, quirky Theresia, smiling Traceia......

He remembered.

When it comes to competing and playing with him, it's when Theresia is at her most confident.

It was a spontaneous self-confidence, which did not need his support and encouragement, and was not born by relying on his belief, because he had already become her opponent by then.

It comes from Theresia's own self-confidence that she will win, will win, and will always win.

Theresia had a wonderful magic in that moment, and it was a beauty called self-confidence.

"Theresia, your so-called self-confidence and steadfastness are nothing but false and inflated confidence from me, and I have given you the illusion that you are omnipotent, and that you have overcome yourself."

In the square of Yuhuo Town, Xia Ming once again deeply hit the girl's self-confidence.

"You seem to have seen the fact that you are weak in advance, and now, do you dare to draw your sword?"

Xia Ming said calmly, his gaze looking at her calmly was as cold as snow.

The icy wind and snow slapped the girl's cheeks, making her face lose its blood color and become pale and cold.

Her fingers grasped the corner of her dress nervously and in fear, and her emerald pupils trembled in the howling cold wind, shrinking in such a weak and pitiful manner.

She couldn't figure out why Xia Ming suddenly became so cold, so ruthless, cruelly tearing open the wound in her heart and piercing that layer of disguised self-confidence.

Obviously, in his own perception, his kindness to himself is still as warm as a roaring furnace, but why......

Seeing the girl's gloomy look after being struck, the corners of Xia Ming's mouth turned up, and he actually showed a smug smile, reached out to pick up a strand of her hair, and put it in his hand to play.

"Theresia, although you keep winning, it's a pity that you lose this game that tests your confidence."

Game?

Lose?

Theresia suddenly raised her head, her dim pupils quickly regained that glimmer of light, and she suddenly understood why Xia Ming's attitude towards her had changed so much all of a sudden.

Like this kind of tacit understanding and unspoken game, she obviously has several times a day with Xia Ming, sometimes it is physical teasing, sometimes it is verbal confrontation, and sometimes it is simply childlike nonsense, such as staring at each other and blinking at each other first, who speaks first, and who can't help but laugh first......

However, today's situation is special, she didn't react at once, and Xia Ming seized the opportunity to win the game.

Damn it!

Obviously, this kind of clumsy trick in the past will not work for me, bastard Xia Ming, just seized this tense and critical moment now, and came to a sneak attack without paying attention!

"I ...... I didn't lose! I just pretended to be this to deceive you......"

She turned her head, put her hands behind her back, and habitually said stiffly: "Hmph, it's obvious that you, the villain, were deceived by the appearance I disguised, and thought that you had won, but you didn't pass my primary intelligence test......"

At this moment, the bell rang, Ruger failed to draw his sword, and a gloomy and desperate mood spread and flowed in the square.

"Then go draw your sword, Theresia."

A scornful and mocking smile appeared on Xia Ming's face, but at this time, such a smile not only did not hurt the girl's heart, but only inspired her fighting spirit even more.

"Do what you thought before, to boost morale, to be the focus of attention, and then under the expectations and hopes of everyone...... Failed to draw the sword. Theresia, I bet you won't be able to draw your sword. ”

"Hmph, then I'll just pull it out for you!"

The girl clenched her fists, raised her head unconvincedly, and her confidence and heroism instantly returned to her, she looked at the big sword silently inserted in the ice in the distance, her eyes were shining, and she was looking forward to it.

Xia Ming felt that she couldn't draw her sword, and wanted to use it as a hope to defeat her?

I'm sorry, Xia Ming, this girl will never let you have a chance to surpass me, I won't lose, I will always win, better than you, win over you, win your people, win your heart!

"You have to think about it, Theresia, this time without my support and encouragement, the self-confidence you have built up by relying on me is useless, just by you, by you alone, can you still muster the courage to take on such a mission, to break that fate?"

Xia Ming's merciless blow struck again.

Theresia's heart trembled for a moment, then it was firm again.

No matter how much she treats all this as a joke, as a game and a fight, there is no denying the fact in Xia Ming's mouth, she is indulging in false self-confidence, arrogant thinking that she can overcome everything and complete everything.

She also clearly knew that hidden under Xia Ming's cold words, hidden in the background of this seemingly joke and game, was the sincere heart that still wanted to warm her under the cold reality.

The inflated self-confidence is punctured like a balloon, does she still have the courage and confidence to face it all?

I don't want to lose to Xia Ming, I don't want to disappoint him.

So, she had to win.

The heavy weight of reality, the suffocating pressure and darkness, it seems like a difficult game to clear all this as a one-life game...... Doesn't seem so scary anymore?

Yes, life is a game, just a difficult game with only one chance, one life.

And it just so happens that what she is best at is games.

She walked to the center of the square with a high spirit, and Xia Ming followed closely behind, as if she wanted to see her desperate and depressed face after defeat for the first time.

She gave him a blank look, pinched him, ignored him, and walked to the very center of the square and began to speak.

Her beautiful and heroic figure and flying red hair immediately attracted everyone's attention, and she calmly accepted the gaze of these eyes, and her inner fighting spirit and self-confidence became higher and higher.

She believes she can do it, and she is confident that she can do it.

This is not a kind of empty self-confidence like gratuitous expansion in the air, but an absolute confidence in oneself that can be won after one game victory after another.

Although it sounds a little funny and child's play, after all, those games between her and Xia Ming have no reference value at all, it is just what she thinks, and it is not even a game at all.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she thinks it is, as long as she believes that she can win, it's a big deal to treat life as a game, a game to bravely accept the mission and break the fate.

She will definitely clear this game.

When she attracted all the attention of the audience, and her heroic posture and demeanor once again ignited the hope in everyone's hearts, Xia Ming had quietly slipped to the side of the Red Flame Sword, his fingers gently slid over the cold sword body, and whispered:

"Xiao Chi, give me a face, if Theresia is not too far from your standard for a while, how about letting her pass with a little water?"

"The evil dragon is coming soon, only she can use your strength to defeat and kill the other party 100%, I can't do it, even if I hold you, I will die under its full burst of spiritual energy."

"Little Chi, it doesn't really matter if I die or not, but if even Theresia can't get your approval, just let the evil dragon rage. After that, you'll either be buried under the endless blizzard and never see the light of day, or you will be brought back to the lair by the dragon and become a toy like a broken copper and iron under its feet, I don't want to see you usher in such a sad end......"
