I could feel the five different energies slowly weaving themselves into my body, spreading through me like fire igniting dry wood. The rotation of these forces churned with immense pressure, pushing soul energy into my veins — or rather, what I now believed to be my meridians. Yes... I hadn't noticed them before, never really bothering to explore my body in such detail until this very moment. But now, I realized that these thin channels stretched through me like rivers, absorbing soul energy directly through my skin and releasing it back into the world.
But this discovery wasn't just fascinating — it was vital. Each pulse of energy that flowed through my meridians carried with it something far greater than strength alone. My body felt as though it was being reforged, each cell hardening under the pressure. My muscles tightened, my bones seemed to vibrate, and I could feel power simmering beneath my skin, like a volcano waiting to erupt.
