Chapter 640: Friendship Blooms in the Library
Without wasting a second, Adam gulped Qi like a whale. He controlled the soothing energy coursing through his meridians to seep into his cells.
Applying Lulu’s revised technique and focusing on a single one, water and wind entwined into a miniaturised vortex. Yet, the rotational speed picked up, mangling the cell and confirming his first failure.
Far from disappointed, his brows creased into a focused frown as the cell recovered in the blink of an eye, and he tried again. Once, twice, ten times, failure met his every attempt, but a smile played on his lips.
Even if it seemed hard, it wasn’t. He had already found the ideal speed on his fourteenth try—fast enough to draw in Qi without destroying the cell. Now, he only needed to make its spin perpetual and automatic, like a windmill generating energy through the breeze.
And on his sixteenth try, he clenched his fist in triumph as a vortex spun in the core of his cell. He could feel the almost imperceptible Qi it absorbed. But it was normal. After all, it was just a single cell—the prelude to what he’d get after he changed every single one.
Still, the shadow of the time required encroached on his optimism. Although two years were incredibly short for such incredible improvement, it was an... extremely dull process.
With a sigh, he shook his head and opened his eyes. The library’s forest of shelves met his eyes before he noticed Misha and Xie Lian glaring at him with conflicted frowns.
Scratching his head in confusion, he raised his palms. "What?"
They pointed at Lulu, who crouched in his sky-blue hair like a rabbit hiding amidst all blades of grass.
