"Where is Junhui?" Han Junxiong asked with anxiousness evident in his voice. He was looking around to see if his brother was playing a game with him or not.

'Maybe he is just hiding somewhere to see how I react…' He thought to himself.

"Maybe senior brother is still in the trial…" one of the disciples said to somehow calm Han Junxiong.

Han Junxiong looked at that disciple like how one would look at an idiot.

"Do you even hear your own words?" Han Junxiong said.

"How can an idiot like you be out here and my brother be still in the trial?" Han Junxiong said. He was refuting that argument but deep down he wanted it to be true as he didn't want to imagine what would it mean if his brother somehow failed the test…

The disciple didn't say anything as he too couldn't find a valid argument to continue so he choose to close his mouth before Han Junxiong would decide that he has had enough of his logic and introduce him to his fists.

…

Han Junxiong was still pacing back and forth in the room as he was waiting for his twin brother, Han Junhui.

Other disciples were also worried about their senior brother but no one was as worried as Han Junxiong.

The time passed slower than one would think and every minute was like an hour to Han Junxiong who was constantly checking the room which his brother entered for any sign that might be there about him.

Han Junxiong wasn't one to lose hope easily so he was waiting but when the old man came back and told them that they can enter the portal to go to the next test, it was like someone poured cold water on his head. In reality, he didn't hear even a single word of what the old man said as when the old man showed up it could only mean one thing; the test is finished, and if it was so then something has happened to his brother who was still in the door that he choose for him.

Every other disciple who also knew what this meant looked at Han Junxiong, their elder brother as they were also filled with sadness from losing their other senior brother.

Han Junxiong mindlessly moved toward the door that his brother entered, the same door that he choose for him.

He tried to open the door as he pushed it but the door wouldn't budge no matter how much power he used.

Other disciples thought that he was saying his goodbyes to his brother so they hung their heads low as they decided to give their elder brother a minute or two to collect himself.

There was also a female disciple in the team who stood there petrified. Peng Borong couldn't even fathom how could this happen to Han Junhui. It wasn't known to many but she and Han Junhui had an intimate relationship for a while now and because of that Han Junhui stopped playing around with other women as of late. Well, it is more like that he wouldn't dare do so because Peng Borong was the strongest female disciple of their generation and she could go toe to toe with him if it came to a fight and an angry female has a buff in a fight, so an angry Peng Borong could beat him easily.

As someone who loves Han Junhui, Peng Borong was also in the same situation as Han Junxiong who was overwhelmed with grief but unlike Han Junxiong, she just stood there and couldn't accept that this is real.

"I see…" Han Junxiong said after his attempt to open the door failed. He turned around and everyone thought that he accepted the reality but they couldn't be more wrong.

Han Junxiong faced the door again and start punching the door with Qi to break it. If pushing doesn't work then punching should work, or so Han Junxiong thought.

Seeing this everyone other than Peng Borong rushed to stop Han Junxiong as they didn't want to let Han Junxiong destroy the door and the old man punished them as a result. Nobody knew what kind of punishment would await them if they were to do such a thing but no one would like to wait and see the results for themselves.

Han Junxiong wouldn't stop even if his master was in front of him so his fellow disciples who were also less powerful than him couldn't stop him.

"Get away you bastards!" Han Junxiong said as he threw a disciple who tried to stop him aside. He also took his staff and used that to attack the door and stop others from stopping him.

Peng Borong was still deep in thoughts and didn't react to all the commotion.

——(POV third person, seconds ago, inside the test space)——

Years passed from the moment that Han Junhui entered the test space and the vast nothingness was slowly affecting his sanity. At first, he was happy because he would find a treasure in every part of the space but he slowly came to know that much like the treasures, this space is endless too.

He was using smaller rations so that he can find the test or even an exit before he die here.

This was fine for the first couple of years but as he was only using his sense of direction and his Qi sense to locate his surroundings, it wasn't a good enough measure for him to find anything other than floating treasures.

Later on, Li Huang would come to know that the exit portal wouldn't bounce off the Qi sense so it was understandable why Han Junhui didn't find the exit portal despite all these attempts.

More years passed and Han Junhui was running out of food as even his storage rings were not that filled to supply him with years and years of provision.

He now knows that he won't be able to get out of here if he were to continue going around aimlessly so as a last-ditch effort he decided to go in one direction and keep going until he found an edge.

This plan which seemed genius didn't work as this space was seemingly wrapped into a sphere and no matter how much Han Junhui continued, he didn't see an end to this so he hypothesized that this space should be sphere-shaped.

Although he found this out, it was too late as he had been looking for this edge of the world for years now and he didn't have enough food to continue and the loneliness was affecting him.

Seeing this he decided to choose something that he had on him for an unforeseen event like this.

Looking at the item that would kill him, he was thinking about his stupid brother and his lovely Peng Borong for a moment. He thought how they would act if they knew what he did but he shook his head to get rid of these thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, he lunged the item onto his chest and waited for it to start working.

Just when Han Junhui started thinking that something was wrong with the item, the agonizing pain started and he felt like he was getting shredded to pieces.

It didn't take long that he stopped screaming and now his body was moving in the space without any control and completely lifeless. The item that he used was now in his clenched hand.

——(Outside the door)——

Peng Borong got out of her thoughts and walked toward Han Junxiong who was trying to use a couple of scrolls on the door and the other disciples were trying to stop him.

Peng Borong was the only one who could stop Han Junxiong as she had the same amount of strength as Han Junhui. She used her own Qi to stop Han Junxiong from blasting the door with the scrolls.

"Stop it!" Peng Borong shouted. She couldn't let Han Junxiong do anything to that door.

Han Junxiong who heard her stopped as he couldn't believe that Peng Borong of all people would stop him.

"How can you? You snake of a woman! How can you just watch and let him die?" Han Junxiong shouted as he couldn't believe that her brother's lover would stop him from destroying what held his brother prisoner.
