Xie Wenren's agonizing state lasted for a duration of a pot of tea, finally, he returned to his original appearance after a scream that tore at the heart and lungs!
"Congratulations on persevering, my good disciple! I certainly didn't misjudge you; your will to become strong saved you! Otherwise, just now, if you couldn't withstand the power of the Cursed Seal, you'd have surely burst and died!"
The Strange Person revealed a satisfied smile, clapping hands in encouragement towards Xie Wenren.
"I... what happened just now...?"
Having returned to normal, Xie Wenren seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened, and in his daze, suddenly saw a black Curse Seal at the junction of his right shoulder and neck that appeared and disappeared intermittently, but after a few glances, it vanished completely.
