The transformation was not a gift—it was a war. As the Golden Skeleton fused with Yang Kai’s body, his small hut became an altar of agony. This wasn’t just a power-up; it was a brutal reconstruction of his entire being.
Yang Kai felt his bones shattering one by one, replaced by a divine, indestructible metal. A voice, ancient and prideful, echoed in his mind, demanding he surrender. The “Proud Golden Statue” within the skeleton sought to crush his consciousness and take over his body. To the skeleton, Yang Kai was just a weak vessel, an ant unworthy of such god-like power.
“Do you want to submit?” the golden phantom seemed to sneer.
But the phantom didn’t know who it was dealing with. This was the boy who had endured 147 humiliations without blinking. If the world couldn’t break him, a skeleton wouldn’t either. With a roar of pure defiance, Yang Kai fought back. He didn’t just accept the pain; he embraced it, using his unyielding willpower to chain the golden energy to his soul.
Slowly, the blinding radiance began to settle. The agonizing fire turned into a soothing warmth that flowed through his new marrow. When Yang Kai opened his eyes, he was different. His skin glowed with a faint, metallic luster, and a newfound strength surged through his veins.
The transition was complete. The Golden Skeleton was no longer a guest—it was his. As he stood up, the floorboards beneath him creaked under the weight of his new density. The servant of Ling Xiao Pavilion was gone. A monster in human skin had just been born.
Why this works for YouTube:
* Conflict & Tension: This chapter highlights the internal battle. Viewers love seeing a protagonist “earn” their power through suffering rather than getting it for free.
* Character Development: It reinforces Yang Kai’s greatest strength—not his new skeleton, but his indomitable will.
* The “Power Scale” Tease: Mentioning that he is now a “monster in human skin” sets high expectations for the next chapter, where he will likely test this strength on his bullies.
Would you like me to move on to Chapter 6, where Yang Kai finally starts to show off his new power?
