Aksai's rise in the potency of 3rd Order Spirit essence was not sudden or explosive.
Instead, it grew step by step, like a tide that kept rising without stopping. By the fifth day, the pressure inside his body reached a peak.
Aksai's brows furrowed slightly as the gathered energy surged through him. His dantian trembled, and the flow of Spirit essence inside him became faster and heavier. It felt like something inside him was pushing against a barrier.
He did not resist it. Instead, he guided the energy calmly, letting it gather and compress again and again.
The poison lake around him reacted as well. The surface shook, and thick fumes rose into the air. Even Zyn, who was standing at a distance, lifted its head slightly as it sensed the change.
Then it happened.
A soft but clear shift occurred inside Aksai's body.
The barrier broke.
