Bai Yumo [2]

How did Bai Yumo win the first time?

Actually, the battle was extremely anticlimactic.

Because while Su Ren and Bai Yumo definitely started out fighting valiantly with their lives on the line, they ended with one poisoned and the other disappeared.

The mana Bai Yumo left in Su Ren's body that day never left him.

In fact, the growth path of his unique mana was shifted entirely for the sake of suppressing and controlling that mana so it didn't spread further and cripple him.

This was why it specialized in the spirit. It was directly suppressing whatever strange existence that mana was and keeping Su Ren alive while maintaining its external advantages.

Still, that mana was impossible to cure, even for his master.

And today, almost following the exact same flow of events…

"Keuk…"

Su Ren inadvertently coughed, his face pale.

The mana in his chest was acting up again.

Or rather, it was being excited.
