Chapter Eight: An Unconventional Bond

"This brat is shameless, but I like it," thought the golden-haired man. "Brat, you have not accepted me as your master," he continued, a hint of amusement in his voice. However, Li Wei remained unmoved.

"Tell me how you are going to cure me first," Li Wei retorted, his determination evident.

"Brat, are you trying to scam me?" the man teased, a spark of humor in his eyes. He took a moment to compose himself before he continued. "Alright, read this technique: Primordial Fiend Body Technique."

Li Wei's gaze shifted to the piece of parchment the man handed him. As he read the words inscribed on it, realization dawned on him. The technique described a profound path to strengthening one's body and enhancing its vitality. It resonated with Li Wei's desire to overcome his physical limitations.

"Disciple greets master," Li Wei said, his voice tinged with respect and humor, embracing the dynamic with a touch of playfulness.

"This brat is shameless," the man muttered under his breath, a grin tugging at the corners of his lips. He extended a hand. "Anyways, my name is Long San."

Li Wei clasped Long San's hand with a firm grip, a camaraderie forming between them. Their bond was unconventional, built on a foundation of mutual respect and a shared determination to grow stronger.

"master Long San, I accept your guidance," Li Wei affirmed. "With the Primordial Fiend Body Technique, I'll overcome my weakness and become a worthy disciple."

Long San's eyes gleamed with approval. "Brat, you're in for a journey filled with trials and revelations. But with your resolve, I have no doubt you'll rise above every challenge that comes your way."
