Even before the duel, there are certain profoundness and depth of meaning behind their actions.

PS: I like this duel too, no kamehameha shazams (RIP the author of Dragon Ball regardless), just pure contest of swordsmanship and internal energy.

Yup, these are spoilers which are only known in the later chapters, but the first small part is debatable.

We don't yet know if Hugo's manipulated or not, that's still under speculation. From the MC's perspective SO FAR, Hugo still deserved a very painful death, period - FOR NOW.

To defy fate means to deny every path that God has decided for you whether its for life or death, rich or poor, glory or disgrace. Its pure DEFIANCE, to stand your own ground regardless of anything else in the way.

That adds more to his basis. Regeneration so that a little blood loss is nothing, and Deadly Poison to apply to his lost blood as a weapon.

I don't think a simple fight will solve it, remember the MC's verdict of how he died?

Not to mention he had the Regeneration skill, a bit of lost blood is nothing to him.

Don't forget he stole the Regeneration skill previously.

If its about Hugo, of course the MC isn't done with him. He still have grudges to him as well, Hugo owed him a painful death regardless of the changes.

And that's called character development. What made it more stark in this manhwa is that it matches along with its story progression.

That's what I pointed in my last sentence. Winning is to win regardless of the methods or standards, unless there are rules - which is the worst mistake to think that there is any of it in this world.

The MC became stronger because he wanted to WIN. The desire for victory is the strongest desire of them all, nothing else can match to it, not even the desire of strength (being stronger doesn't mean you can win).

He's not just stubborn, but he's that stupid to betray his own ideals and morals just for a purpose he didn't even reflect on.

Like I said in a past chapter, all that stalker did was chasing his shadows endlessly, while the MC's mission is to win the entire thing. That's why that stalker will NEVER WIN.

Yes, and this answers the question. A "language" meant only for a few people to know is generally a code than a language.

The definition of the Big Data (cultured data) indeed. Sir Spinne knows our ways.

For those who forgot, let me give you a time rewind of the degree of profoundness mentioned - Chapter 82.

But you have to admit that he's right. If that particular person didn't go off shitting at that exact moment of time, things might not have led to this (butterfly effect). Hence, to explain in depth how the entire sequence of how it happened in one sentence, just call it the PROFOUNDESS THAT STARTED OFF FROM SHIT.

Minami has always been the goody-two shoes in his family's eyes, until somewhere in him snapped - and nobody has cured him of it yet.

Yes, he needed a new start, but he's too nice of a kid to stick with his parents advice and come home once in a while. That's where his parents have no idea where it went wrong with him, its a pain only two people knew.
