Two Strokes

"Congratulations. You have passed the second stage. You can proceed to the final stage." The aged voice resounded, bringing Yun Lintian back to his sense.

Yun Lintian shook his head slightly, trying to get rid of the complicated mood, and walked into the portal.

As soon as the white light faded, Yun Lintian found himself standing in an open space with a platform at the center. In this place, he saw Shen Liqiu, Hei Lei, and Xiao Weiyuan standing opposite each other.

"Big Brother Yun!" Linlin and Qingqing tugged Yun Lintian's hands, looking at him worriedly. "Where did you go?"

Yun Lintian suddenly realized he hadn't seen them earlier. Perhaps they didn't experience the second stage?

He smiled and said. "Sorry. Big brother is late." 

Linlin and Qingqing didn't say anything further and leaned against him.

"Heh. I thought you were dead already." Hei Lei grinned at Yun Lintian. A deep hatred in the depth of his eyes was obvious.
