Ye Yinzhu once again beheld the middle-aged man in the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
Compared to his initial composure when Ye first saw him, the mysterious middle-aged man also experienced significant changes. His clothes were no longer neat, and his blond hair had become somewhat disheveled. More importantly, there was a trail of blood on the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, in that final collision, when "Stone Above the Spring" reached its apex, the middle-aged man had been injured as well. Although his injuries might not be as severe as Ye Yinzhu's, Ye had nevertheless managed to wound him.
As Ye Yinzhu struggled to rise from the ground, he asked, "If I can still stand up, does that mean I have passed the test?" As the words left his mouth, he surprised even himself; his voice was so hoarse and every word he spoke brought forth a spray of dark purple blood.
