"Hmm..."
A muffled groan came from the quiet room.
Luo Chen opened his eyes, a trace of regret in them.

Vaguely, it seemed as though a layer of qi membrane had blocked the way.
"The higher one's realm, the more refined one's spiritual qi becomes. It naturally forms a protective qi membrane over the body's vital points."
