The main reason the Ye Xiao lookalike did this was for himself. The fact that Ye Xiao was his reincarnation, and the thing embedded in Ye Xiao's body, proved that his future death was too strange. He suspected that a foreign force must have killed him.
But who was it? The Ye Xiao lookalike was very curious. He felt his current strength was unparalleled, but he never expected anyone to be able to kill him.
And the lookalike's ultimate goal was to allow the future Ye Xiao to learn about his past self and then avenge himself.
He and Ye Xiao were essentially the same person, and at a certain level and using certain methods, one could obtain memories from a past life. Of course, even if Ye Xiao learned about it later, it would be up to him to decide whether or not to seek revenge.
However, just as Ye Xiao had a bad feeling about what the lookalike was planning to do, he suddenly felt a strange sensation within his body.
Ahhh...
The pain was excruciating, he felt his blood boiling, his flesh and blood ripping apart.
At this moment, Ye Xiao felt as if this figure resembling himself was lying and trying to torture him.
"Haha, kid, it's just a little pain, bear with it." Hearing the curses in Ye Xiao's heart and the pain he was suffering, the figure resembling Ye Xiao said with a laugh.
Damn... what's a little pain... Damn...
Hearing the figure's words, Ye Xiao cursed even more in his heart. How could what he was feeling right now be considered a little pain? He even felt like he would rather die than continue to endure this kind of pain.
Ahh...
Ye Xiao screamed continuously in his mind because of the pain he was feeling. If his mouth could speak, his screams would probably be even louder.
This pain was hundreds of times more excruciating than the torture he had endured so far from the Ye family and Ye Fan.
But strangely, even as the pain continued to intensify, his self-awareness remained. Strange, truly strange. Isn't there a limit to how much pain a person can experience, causing their self-awareness to fade and lead to unconsciousness? But this was completely different.
The pain was excruciating and constantly intensifying, yet Ye Xiao's self-awareness remained unaffected, as if he were forced to endure the pain endlessly.
"Damn it... ahhh..." Ye Xiao screamed in pain, unable to utter a sound, only groaning in his mind.
For a moment, just a few moments, Ye Xiao had been experiencing pain more excruciating than death, but the next moment, he suddenly felt a change.
"This...?"
Ye Xiao was shocked. The pain and torture he was experiencing hadn't diminished at all; in fact, it was constantly increasing. However, Ye Xiao could clearly feel that his body was not only recovering itself, but also becoming denser and stronger.
"Hehe, have you realized it? So, be patient and enjoy the process. After it's finished, you will have a very strong body." Said the figure that looked like Ye Xiao, understanding Ye Xiao's thoughts.
He pointed out the benefits Ye Xiao would receive after the process was complete.
"Really? But it's too painful."
Hearing the voice of the person who resembled him, Ye Xiao realized that the person could read his thoughts, so he tried to answer them mentally.
The voice of the person who resembled Ye Xiao confirmed his suspicions.
"Of course, why would I lie to you?" The person who resembled Ye Xiao smiled as he said.
"Ahh... okay, I'll try to believe you." Ye Xiao responded mentally. His current state of mind confirmed some of the truth in the person's words. The pain continued to intensify, but his consciousness seemed to be maintained by some force.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao could also feel his physical strength increasing.
The process was akin to Ye Xiao's entire body being cooked, yet at the same time, his body felt like it was being restored and strengthened.
Therefore, this time, Ye Xiao wanted to believe the words of the figure resembling himself, even though he was currently experiencing immense torture from that figure.
Hehe...
Hearing what Ye Xiao said in his mind, the powerful figure resembling Ye Xiao smiled.
He actually wanted to activate something hidden within Ye Xiao's body and simultaneously train Ye Xiao to become stronger physically.
A gamble, essentially, he was trying to make a bet on his own future.
And sure enough, after a few moments passed...
Boom...
Ahhhh...
Ye Xiao's body suddenly swelled, and a powerful aura exploded from him. But at the same time, Ye Xiao felt an excruciating pain.
"Hehe, okay, it's time for you to come out." The powerful figure resembling Ye Xiao suddenly said something that left Ye Xiao feeling confused and pained at the same time.
What does he mean?
Ahhh...
Could there be something hidden within me?
And sure enough, with those words, a light suddenly shone from Ye Xiao's forehead, making Ye Xiao's head spin.
What is this...?
Ye Xiao could feel a foreign object inside his head trying to force its way out, causing him to experience pain and dizziness.
This was his own body, but he had never felt anything inside it before, which filled Ye Xiao with even more shock.
The figure resembling Ye Xiao now smiled again, looking relieved. It was clear from his expression that it had taken him great effort to accomplish everything he was doing.
It wasn't because he was worried about Ye Xiao's extremely weak body breaking down or anything else related to Ye Xiao, but rather because of the extraordinary method he had used in the future to implant something into his current reincarnation.
