Haru felt the emptiness of his Core's magical energy and the almost overflowing magical power emanating from Luo Hao before him. Four words escaped his lips: "The Beiming Manual?!"
"Oh? What kind of technique is that, to be named a divine skill? The one I'm using is the Soul-Absorbing, an martial art that allows me to extract Ki from anyone I touch with my hand. If you hadn't planned for a battle of attrition, I wouldn't have needed to resort to such a technique."
The human body has twelve main meridians, known as the "regular meridians," and eight auxiliary meridians, known as the "extraordinary meridians."
By emptying the Ki flowing through these extraordinary meridians, one can absorb Ki that exists outside of themselves, that is, the Ki of others. This is based on the same concept as the The Beiming Manual from Jin Yong's novels.
"This is bad. I don't want to die from exhaustion without getting any benefits," Haru said, beads of sweat forming on his forehead due to the massive expenditure of magical energy. Despite the dire situation, he still tried to flirt with Luo Hao.
"Say what you will. I'll be merciful enough to consider them your last words," Luo Hao replied, her killing intent intensifying.
An invisible wave of energy emanated from Luo Hao. Even though Haru was depleted of magical power, with only enough for a few more attacks, she still didn't dare to underestimate him. She decided to go all out, using spells to disrupt his mind and then finish him off with her ultimate technique.
Facing this life-or-death crisis, Haru suddenly clutched his head and crouched down, as if in immense pain.
