After making his mother trade the Life-type resource in their hand for something that could heal and mend broken limbs, Han Li waited for the resource to arrive with bated breath. The Life Fruit in Han Li's hand had already vanished.
Han Li took a deep breath.
He was a cold man, a man as cold as ice. Time had made his soul one made of obsidian. He could endure pain himself to a point even the other Transcendents would be stunned if they knew it. He was cruel to others. He could kill anyone other than a few without even blinking. Yet, he was just as cruel to himself.
He could, without batting an eye, hurt himself to achieve what he wanted.
Yet, seeing his mother squirming in pain as blood dripped through her clothing, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. Yet, he consoled himself: 'This is just temporary. Everything temporary would be fine when the time comes. Impermanent things are worth as much as an ant; do not linger on pain. Search for the solution.'
