Chapter 87: Alina speaks
Adam’s free hand met the Emperor’s powerful punch. As soon as it connected, Adam felt an immense force surge through Eric’s arm. It was much stronger than he had expected from a normal human. He felt the bones in the hand and the lower arm break.
They splintered into many small pieces. The muscles tore. The flesh ripped apart because of the pure power of the Emperor’s hit.
A sudden, sharp pain, a feeling Adam knew well from many other times he had been in other bodies, tried to take over his control.
However, Adam was not someone who would be stopped by just physical pain or damage.
Instantly, a wave of his own special energy flooded into the broken arm. The shattered bones started to mend back together very quickly, much faster than normal.
The torn muscle fibers rewove themselves. The damaged flesh started to heal. Within just a few seconds, the arm was almost as good as new, though it had taken a lot of Adam’s energy.

If I had used even a little bit less of my own energy to block that punch, this arm would have been completely destroyed. It would have turned into nothing but dust.
Outwardly, Adam kept a look of confidence on his face, as if he was not bothered at all.
