"Your body is dying in the real world. General Fei has successfully broken all of your bones, you weak kid. But I can recover your body to its original state."



"In fact, not only healing you back, but I can also make you stronger, a lot stronger than just simple, meaningless training done by mortals."

"All you need to do is to accept me."

"Accept you?" Han Shun squinted out of suspicion. He never had this kind of interaction, nor he ever dreamed of meeting this man that looked like the adult version of him. 

"Yes, I can give you all the strength this world could offer, more than you'd ever imagine. But you have to accept me as part of you, I will live inside your consciousness, and I will gradually transfer all my talents, strength, and knowledge to you."

"You will be a man greater than any god. Of course, you will still have to train with Bai Shijue in the heavenly realm and learn many things before I can completely transfer my power to you, But you will realize how much power I have."



"Who are you?" Han Shun finally asked. He had suspicion in his heart. 

"I am you. We are the same person. My name… is also Han Shun," the black-golden robe man replied. "I am your untapped potential, the soul that is born with you to be your fuel to protect Bai Shijue. Accept me, and you will never be defeated by anyone in this world."

Han Shun started to hesitate because he felt the man in a black-golden robe sounded obsessive.

Deep down, he had this feeling… that the black-golden robe man was a bit strange, especially with the deranged eyes. He was very handsome, but his eyes… looked scary. 

He was afraid the man in front of him was the devil that wanted to possess his body.

But at the same time…

'What does this black-golden robe man want from me anyway? I'm just a street kid. There is nothing worthy in my body.'

'As long as I can get up once more and save Bai Gege from the mistake that I made, then I have no worry!'

"What are you waiting for? Your time is ticking, and General Fei is ready to announce your defeat and kiss Bai Shijue in front of the soldiers.

"Take me," Han Shun said determinedly. "I don't care about the risk. As long as I can get up and fight once more. As long as I can protect Bai Gege from any harm, then I have no fear in my heart!"

The black-golden robe man smirked full of satisfaction, "Good, now—" 

The black-golden robe man snapped his finger, and a small marble suddenly appeared in front of Han Shun. 

The marble was shining, and a name was written on the marble.

Saint Michael.

Han Shun thought the name was very strange. Obviously, it was someone from a faraway land.

"What is this?" Han Shun asked.

"It is a fragment of me. I give you your first strength, there are 14 of these spheres, and you will take everything one by one and reach your true potential once you're ready," the black-golden robe man explained. "Don't worry, just one of that would be enough for you to defeat General Fei and probably any mortal that you'd ever find in this world.

Han Shun stared at the marble for a moment with the name 'Saint Michael' on it. In the end, he opened his mouth, and the marble slowly entered Han Shun's mouth. 

He closed his eyes and swallowed the marble.

He opened his eyes and recovered all his strength in a split second. 

The black-golden man snapped his finger, and a portal was summoned beside Han Shun, "You can move your body now, your energy has been replenished, and you are now 10x stronger than that Iron General. To defeat him before he kisses your Bai Gege."



"Thank you," Han Shun entered the portal and left the black-golden man alone. 

The man snapped his finger again to close the portal, and the smirk on his face gradually faded. He stared at the emptiness inside Han Shun's soul.

"Bai Yunyu, do you think you can escape me easily? No matter you go, I will always follow you because we deserve to die together. We deserve to be destroyed together. There is no salvation for us."

**

Han Shun gradually regained his consciousness, and the first thing that he could do was listen to what General Fei said while he was down on the ground.

"I have checked his pulse. He is alright. He probably suffered from shock when I slammed him to the ground," General Fei said.

'Wrong, you broke all my bones upon impact, but not anymore,' Han Shun thought as he gradually recovered from all the internal wounds. 

He could feel that his broken bones magically repaired themselves, making him healthy and vigorous once more.

General Fei approached Bai Shijue, whose expression looked ghastly on the side. He felt guilty for hurting Han Shun that much, but the kid needed a bit of humbling because he had been very willful and arrogant. 

"Young Master Bai, you don't need to worry about Han Shun. He just fainted out of shock. I will call the doctor to check him, okay?"

[Pupa, is he dead? Because if he is, then I have to kill General Fei with my power to avenge Han Shun, then we can restart.]

[Pupa: No, I thought he was dead since I can feel that his life force has slowly depleted. But right now, his energy returned to his body miraculously.]

[Pupa: He is fine now.]

"Young Master Bai, we should be ready for our marriage soon. I will prepare for everything, and you can live with me if you want."

General Fei tried to hold Bai Shijue's hand in front of his soldiers. It was a statement that he would be taking Bai Shijue as a soon-to-be wife, but he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"Stay away from my Gege.. Our match is not over yet, General."
