Before I could even ask the question in my mind, the system sent my soul back to Julian. I floated beside him, observing everything silently.

Today is the day when Julian attends the award ceremony for the Top Ten Outstanding Young Painters. His hair is combed meticulously and he looks very energetic.

I was a little unwilling. How could Julian die in another year? At this time, the reporter handed him the microphone: "Hello, Mr. Si, I heard that you broke a finger while protecting Miss Jasmine. Will this affect your future creations?"
