It had to be said that the Ten Thousand Dragons Emperor had a keen eye and rich experience. Just as he had predicted, as Alaric Ye and the Commoner Hermit continued to exchange blows, the Commoner Hermit's aura began to weaken from its peak, while Alaric Ye transitioned from purely defending to occasionally launching attacks.

After several hundred more exchanges, the aura around the Commoner Hermit dissipated entirely, leaving him as if he had no cultivation at all, just like when he first stepped onto the stage.

The Commoner Hermit gave Alaric Ye a complex look. Without needing Alaric Ye to make another move, he smiled bitterly with regret, "I have lost. Even after unlocking the second seal, I am no match for you. I concede wholeheartedly! The human race will shine because of a Chosen like Fellow Daoist Alaric!"

This final remark was the Commoner Hermit's evaluation of Alaric Ye after cultivating for tens of millions of years.
