——(POV third person)——
Li Huang still didn\'t think that Han Junxiong was being completely honest with him, but he saw no problem doing so as he thought that Han Junxiong must want him to do it, as he has some silly reason for not doing it.
As Li Huang didn\'t know about Peng Borong, no one could blame him when he thought this was only a small matter…
Li Huang looked at Han Junhui\'s chest where he was supposed to stab the needle and then looked at Han Junxiong who gave him a thumb\'s up. Li Huang shook his head and focused on his task.
Taking a deep breath Li Huang readied himself for the seemingly simple operation that would decide Han Junhui\'s future. If he wasn\'t sure that Han Junxiong had put everything in place and he also checked everything twice, he wouldn\'t be willing to risk someone\'s life by accepting this task.
*Hooo*
Li Huang exhaled and lunged the needle in Han Junhui\'s chest without hesitation. This needle has took Han Junhui\'s soul out of the cage before, and now it will place it back in his body as the soul and body are 100% compatible.
The needle needs time to fix the soul into the body, so you should not take it out before it has assimilated the soul to the body. This is why Li Huang had to use his Qi and body cultivation power to stab the needle into Han Junhui\'s chest all the way in.
Luckily Han Junxiong knew where one should stab it so that it won\'t cause internal injury, so it wasn\'t hard for Li Huang to do so when he knew where exactly to stab it.
After that, Li Huang stood with his gaze fixated on Han Junhui like Han Junxiong. They were both waiting for the result as it was not certain that this would work and even if it worked Han Junhui might have gone completely crazy after all these years in the soul cage.
The soul cage has to inflict pain on the soul not because it is created to torture that individual but it has to inflict pain because souls are fickle and if one is left alone for long enough the soul would lose the original personality and awareness and wouldn\'t be much different than an empty shell. Exactly because of that, even the simplest of soul cages have to have some sort of torture to keep the soul aware enough so that they won\'t become mindless.
This goes to show that Han Junhui had to endure all these tortures all these years and stop himself from going crazy somehow. Also, these cages are not fail-proof and there is a good chance that the individual would lose their personality if they are not strong-willed enough for such a situation.
Well, from how Han Junhui planed to keep his life there is no doubt that he is as strong-willed as it comes. Li Huang really hoped that Han Junhui didn\'t lose his mind in there as it would be such a shame that someone like him would be removed from the world.
Seconds passed in anxiety and anticipation of the result until Han Junhui\'s body moved.
*Heeew*
Han Junhui took in oxygen hungrily, as it was the first time in years that he could breathe. It was so long ago when he last took a breath, that he didn\'t breathe first as he thought that he was still a soul. He was so used to not needing any oxygen that he even stopped his body from doing so subconsciously.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and blinked a couple of times to adjust his eyes.
Li Huang and Han Junxiong were too shocked to react so they just looked at Han Junhui with wide eyes and waited for him to say something.
Han Junhui tried to move his right hand and after a few tries, he was able to do so. Moving the hand in front of his face he tested his vision for a couple of seconds as he moved his hand. When he was sure that nothing is wrong with his eyes and hands, he touched his chest, where Li Huang had stabbed him with the needle.
Examining the needle he made sure that it was in the correct position and there was no problem with it. As the one who came up with this plan, he is the most qualified person to judge this as he knew everything about this needle.
"…" He opened his mouth to say something but no voice came out of it as he nearly forgot how to speak after all these years. So many years have passed from when he went inside the soul cage and even he doesn\'t know how long it has been. All he did was think about what mattered about him in life to stop himself from going crazy.
Closing his mouth he moisturized his buccal cavity so that it might help in his quest to speak.
"S…" Han Junhui said with a hoarse voice.
"So… this… is… not… an illusion…" he said as he spoke again with more focus. He had experienced so many things like this in his time in the soul cage that he wouldn\'t be surprised if it was also an illusion again. He lost count of how many times he has seen his brother and how many times he embraced Peng Borong just to find out that it was all fake and he would be tortured more the following days… or years.
Some tears gathered in Han Junhui\'s eyes as he was finally free from that cage and he could live his life again. Luckily for his pride, his body didn\'t have many fluids to waste so he only shed a couple of tears.
Han Junhui did train martial arts in there to pass time but as he didn\'t have a body to execute the moves he only mastered them by soul and didn\'t build the muscle memory for it. He also revisited his memories so that he won\'t lose anything when he is caged in there. More than anyone he knew that this cage could prove to be fatal if he were to stay there long so he tried to make it more bearable for himself by doing these activities.
As he was thinking about Peng Borong\'s face with a smile, Han Junxiong entered his view and turned the smile into a frown.
"Browder!" Han Junxiong said as he was crying his eyes out and his nose was running.
Instinctively Han Junhui blasted him away with his palm and as Han Junxiong didn\'t put up any defenses he stumbled backward.
This Qi blast would have thrown him at least 50 meters away before but, now that Han Junxiong had trained for years and years and Han Junhui was locked in a soul cage, there was a big gap between them. If Han Junxiong wasn\'t careless in front of his brother he wouldn\'t even need to take a step backward as this much couldn\'t even move him.
"Thank heavens you are fine!" Han Junxiong said as he couldn\'t be happier. He didn\'t want to admit it but he even missed getting beaten up by his brother.
"Haha, you got old, monkey." Han Junhui said as he looked at his twin with a smile. He thought many times about their reunion but this was not on the list.
"HAHAHA! I did!" Han Junxiong laughed and said. Although Han Junhui\'s body has aged a little he is relatively the same as when he entered that door.
Han Junhui now looked around to see if Peng Borong is also here or not when he located Li Huang and no one else in the room.
\'…I can not blame her as it has been years that I have literally died it that test…\' Han Junhui thought to himself. Opening his eyes again he slowly pointed at Li Huang and asked Han Junxiong about him.
"Who… is he?" Han Junhui asked as he wanted to know why was someone else in the room that he didn\'t know.
\'He doesn\'t look like Han Junxiong at all, so it is not possible for him to be his son…\' Han Junhui thought. He was so distracted by thoughts about Peng Borong that he didn\'t think that it is natural that someone must have found his body in the test.
"Ah! He is Li Huang, the one who found your body!" Han Junxiong said as he too was pointing at Li Huang. Li Huang cupped his fists as Han Junhui was looking at him.
Han Junhui\'s eyes lit up as he thought about what this implied.
\'He has cleared the test!\' Han Junhui thought and now he was interested in how.
"How did you… get out… of there?" Han Junhui asked.
Li Huang was shocked that this was Han Junhui\'s first question but he too understood that it was the most important one to ask.
"There was an exit portal but it wouldn\'t respond to Qi sense so it was harder to locate…" Li Huang started explaining and Han Junxiong just looked at these two shocked.
