Chapter 23 - 23: Losing A Friend

After a day enjoying family bonding with his parents, Ye Han went back to school as he still has class tomorrow. When he arrived back to his dorm, he could see his friend Cho Chi training outside with his spirit integrated. He went and watch him train, Cho Chi, on the other hand, didn't notice Ye Han sitting behind him. only after he finishes training he notices Ye Han.

"Ohhh Bro, your back! how was a trip back home?"

"It was fun doing something together with my family, how about you bro what have you been doing this past two days?"

"I'm doing heavy training to become one of the strongest in the world! :)"

Ye Han could notice a hint of sadness when Cho Chi heard the word family, He unconsciously uses the original eyes to see his friend's fate thread. When he saw the fate thread above Cho Chi, Ye Han's eyes widen a bit before going back. Cho Chi looking at Ye Han's weird expression only thought Ye Han was daydreaming again.

"Hey, Ye Han are you there? HELLLO?"

"huh? ah yes I'm here"

Ye Han notices his friend call and replied while saying

"Bro I gotta pack out somethings, I got so many souvenirs back from my home. This is for you!"

"ada chan, what is that dark string above cho chi's head?"

"onii chan that dark string is called Death String where they only appear if the user will die soon."

Ye Han widens his eyes as he heard that his friend will die in a few days. He asks for some guidance.

"Is there any solution, to stop this event from happening?"

"Sorry Onii chan, but you cannot stop this as the Heavens have decided all within this world follow their fate so what should happen will happen, and if Onii chan decided to break this event, the world will make Onii chan an enemy that will be hunted even in the edge of the world. Onii Chan is considered anomaly. Because Onii chan doesn't have anything attach to yourself, we are not connected to anything."

Ye Han was depressed about his friend's soon to be killed. He asked for more answer. But to his expectation, there was still hope.

"Cheer up onii chan, we still have a way to fix this."

Ye Han felt relieved hearing this But questioned how.

"How do we fix this?"

"well Onii Chan has the power to heal him as long as you use the Panda Fluffy Gloves [i forget about the name already *tehe*]. So when he nearly dies we can stop time and onii chan just need to punch him very hard to make a full recovery."

Ye Han forgot about his Legendary Gloves of Fluffiness. So he just waited for his friend to die before going there to save the day. But Ada chan warned Onii chan

"But onii chan, when you help him. You have transformed him into an anomaly that is not controlled by fate."

"Is that bad?"

"Well, it will mean that he will have hardship in life because he will be treated harshly by the world. But in total, he still has a chance to survive."

"Well, that's good for me."

Ye Han went back to sleep and continued his life of a spirit master student. Until a week later where he noticed his friend Cho Chi leaving in a fast manner. He decided to follow him so he can be there when the event happens.

It was in the middle of the forest, where Cho Chi stop and said

"Come out, I know you're here."

Ye Han stop and didn't move and wait for something happen until a teenager nearly same to Cho Chi appearance appeared behind of Cho Chi and said

"Well well, my little brother is still cautious as ever."

"SHUT UP, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE MY BROTHER AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO EVERYONE."

Cho Chi gritted his teeth in anger while tears flown outside his eyes. While the guy that looks like an ȧduŀt Cho Chi just snorted and laugh.

"hahaha, what did I do? tell me?"

"You betrayed the family, and had THEM KILLED! YOU BASTARD!"

"I didn't betray the family, The family betrayed me when you came out!"

"What did I do to you?"

"What you did. you became the best of everything, they always choose you not me even in the family, they only notice you while I was just left alone!"

The ȧduŀt cho chi just laughs and said, while cho chi was just crying of remembering his family.

"Now give me The Immortal Herb, and surrender yourself. The spirit hall might even spare you from this action you did back then."

" You still looking for this?"

Cho Chi opened his hand and a bizarre-looking fruit appeared. Ye Han on the bushes used his scanning ability on the fruit,

"scan"

===

Name: Longevity Fruit

Age: 200,000-years-old

Description: This fruit contains a large amount of Life energy it can give consumer 500 years of life span. (only works on titled douluo and below)

===

It was a useful fruit, Ye Han thought as he can literally spawn in stronger fruits than this tic tac. Cho Chi threw the fruit at the edge of the cliff. While The ȧduŀt Cho Chi was angered about this action he integrated with his spirit.

"You Idiot!"

The ȧduŀt Cho Chi stabbed Cho Chi in the heart, before using his spirit ability to fly and catch the longevity fruit. Cho Chi fell down while slowly closing his eyes, he muttered weakly

"Mom, Dad I'm sorry I couldn't be a better son."

Cho Chi teared up while feeling something unknown trying to consume his consciousness, Ye Han started to move and felt Cho Chi's pulse. It was weak but still has a chance he took out the knife stuck in Cho Chi's ċhėst and equipped his Panda Paw Gloves. He used 1 percent of his body before punching the hell out of Cho Chi ċhėst, he mentally said

"SHORYUKEN!!!!!"

Cho Chi was unconscious at that time so he didn't notice this, but his body flew all the way toward the school and broke the giant gate of the school. Ye Han on the other hand just muttered.

"I think I killed him..."
