Chapter 2: Hit the Jackpot
"What is all of this about?"
Jing Yan felt a little nervous about what was happening. He quickly stimulated the Vital Qi in his body, trying to protect himself from whatever was draining his power. Although his rank was falling constantly, he still had enough cultivation and Vital Qi to classify as a Third Heaven warrior. That was a powerful protection. When Jing Yan tried to drive the Vital Qi to the surface of his body, he noticed that the Vital Qi was swallowed by the milky yellow light.
When Jing Yan noticed this, he was a little disturbed by it. Humans usually fear the unknown more than anything else.
Jing Yan couldn't decipher the nature of the milky yellow halo, but it had wrapped around his whole body by that point. However, even though Jing Yan had been thrown off-kilter, he remained calm. Other than devouring the Vital Qi that he had summoned, the milky yellow halo hadn't caused any harm to his body so far.
Boom!
Just as Jing Yan was pondering what he should do, he sensed a powerful energy suddenly rushing into his mind.
Almost instantly, Jing Yan was soaked with sweat, and his clothes were drenched. The powerful energy surged through Jing Yan's mind at that moment, causing a tearing, piercing pain as if his head was about to rip itself apart. The pain was an excruciating agony that seemed to rise from the very depths of the soul; it wasn't something that just any human could bear.
Jing Yan's teeth were chattering so hard that he accidentally bit his lip, causing it to bleed.
However, the pain slid away as quickly as it had attacked him. In less time than it would take to draw in a full breath, the pain dissipated like a tide and disappeared without any trace.
Jing Yan looked around his room. The milky yellow light from the Ring of the Universe had disappeared along with the pain, as if it had never been there at all.
