What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!

[half a month later]

Yun Che got fully recovered and got back all of his strength, he even used the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus and his cultivation soared to new heights, and stopped to the 2th Earth Profound Realm(AN: Evil God's Profound Veins will need more energy than normal to grow strong here, idk about original)

then he fought against the demon, everytime he would unleash as much power he could muster, but it still didn't do any significant damage, then again, again and again, he continued to try.

He rested, feed himself with Jean's food and attacked, this was what he would be doing every days until he get out from the hole he was trapped without knowing anything about the truth that Jean was hiding.

Meanwhile Jean was watching every single attept of his and tried to analyze his movements, trying to improve his almost non-existent personal fighting style, while Jasmine was just spectating both of them, sometimes would help Jean training with his power by telling him how he should move.

One year passed, and Yun Che still didn't know anything, he attacked but always failed to injure the demon, even in his new cultivation of 2th Earth Profound Realm.

Then after the attack, he started to use his Phoenix Flames and burned the Demon's clothes, making him angry that a weak man such as Yun Che could even harm his clothes and striked a palm at him, flinging his almost crushed body away, but Yun Che regenerated from it with his Profound Art and Jean's Godly Ki, the demon saw this and muttered

Demon: I don't know how this child trained his body. That strike a moment ago should have taken half a life from even a person of the Sky Profound Realm, but he is actually able to sit still and tend to his wounds!

Then in the eyes of the demon flashed a Golden light and seen Yun Che's silver pagoda(Great way of the Buddha) turn Golden, and his strength upgraded again.

Jasmine: Very good! Your oppressive kind of self-cultivation during this short amount of time had indeed allowed the Great Way of the Buddha to breakthrough into the third stage in such a short amount of time. Your strength right now should be evenly matched with normal people at the Sky Profound Realm!

then Yun Che smiled and grabbed again his sword and glared at the demon

Yun Che: Try receiving my sword again!

then he rushed at the demon while Jean was spectating him with a smirk and used the Phoenix flames at the demon when he brought down the sword, the demon blocked the strike with his hand while the flames were burning the clothes of his arm

Demon: ...So it's actually Phoenix flames!

then he made appear a large cyan hand that struck at Yun Che's back, but passed through an empty image

Demon: Ssss… It's that strange movement skill again!

Then he used again the cyan hand to struck at an incoming Dragon Fault and made Yun Che fly away, when he got back his balance he said with an insolent smile

Yun Che: Hehe... at first, I could not stand a single blow from you, but in half a year, I can already endure three of your moves! At the start, an arbitrary wave of your hand would take a large chunk of my life away, but now, you can only make me feel an injury that isn't heavy nor weak... give me a maximum of two more years, and I'll kill you for sure!

Demon: Hahahahah! You brat, you're truly a strange one! However, being able to drag a little strange monster down to accompany me is still incredibly interesting! Right now, I truly want to see what stage you can mature to in the two years that you speak of.

Yun Che: I absolutely... won't.... let you... be disappointed!

Then he healed his injury and eaten something given from Jean, some months ago, the demon asked how much food had Yun Che, and got shocked when he heard saying from him.

Yun Che: I don't have any food, I possess another soul that can create them from thin air, and he told me to train against you instead of saving me...

when the demon heard that, he started to fear this master of Yun Che, able to create things from nothing, able to crush this seal...

And if he should really believe the words of the kid in front of him, this 'Master', called Jean, is one of the strongest people he ever encountered, able to crush him with a single palm even if he was at full strength.

Now, when he saw Yun Che starting to eat again, he released a sound of saliva being swallowed, Yun Che heard it but didn't mocked him, instead he gave him a dish from Jean

Yun Che: After eating the food created from Jean, I found out how absolutely incomparable the food of other towns are compared to his food. However, enjoying it by myself is rather dull. Senior, do you want some?

demon: are you pitying me? Only one person could survive between you and I. To be this close to me, are you not afraid of me trying to suddenly kill you?

Yun Che: Even though there's not a moment where I don't think about killing you, the reason why I want to kill you is only for the sake of my survival and freedom, and not because I resent or loathe you. On the contrary, I am very certain that you're not a bad person, and even less of a scoundrel!

If you think I am pitying you... hrm, that's true. Except, this kind of pity is one I would have for a fellow sufferer. As for our situation, how are we any different? Only, the restraint on you is a bit more than the ones on me.

demon: Haha... good! Fellow sufferer indeed! Then I'll accept your 'pity'!

then they eaten together, the demon faster than Yun Che, but now from his pale face, appeared a bit of red.

Demon: Delightful! Truly delightful! I've never had such a delightful meal in my life! Hahahaha... little brother, I, Yun Canghai had never owed anybody in my life! Although you're only given me a meal, to me, it's still a great favor! Your kindness, I will remember it! Unfortunately, this is only a good dish and there's no wine...

Yun Che gave wine from Jean to Yun Canghai and then drank together with a smile in their face, then Yun Che got a bit surprised for a moment

Yun Che: Eh? Senior, your surname is also Yun?

Yun Canghai: What's you say, your surname is Yun as well? Even after being locked up here for half a year, you, a little kid, wouldn't even tell me what your surname is. After doing all these things, looks like we are unexpectedly from the same clan, hahahaha!
