Previously, Huang Shengjie had also experienced something like phantom pain: obviously the pain had been completely suppressed, yet it still felt as if there was some faint, elusive ache lingering.
But if he carefully distinguished it, he could still tell the difference.
Huang Shengjie originally thought this was phantom pain again, but after feeling it out in detail, he realized the pain really hadn't disappeared completely; it still vaguely existed, though very mild.
Time was limited, and the time left for Huang Shengjie to make a choice was running out.
Because the pain only lasted 1 minute, if it wasn't fully suppressed within that one minute, the rule of "curing the special pain after three consecutive rounds of complete analgesia" would fail to trigger.
That could very likely lead to catastrophic consequences.
