The illusion membrane blocked the Demonic Beasts outside from seeing in, but it did not prevent those inside from seeing out.
This was probably Kael and Wai's first time encountering a beast tide so surging it had piled into walls. Their bodies trembled involuntarily.
In that heart-pounding moment, Wai could not help looking at Angel.
He looked at Angel because he knew Angel's path of growth. The other man was frighteningly young, and his time spent cultivating was not even a fraction of Wai's. Faced with a Demonic Beast tide capable of devouring people whole, what expression would such a dazzling rising star wear? Would he be as alarmed and panicked as Wai was?
Yet Wai saw no panic on Angel's face. Angel's expression remained as calm and composed as before.
Rather than feeling disappointed, Wai felt a surge of strength rise from the depths of his heart.
That strength did not affect his body, but his spirit. Wai felt his former palpitations and trembling fear vanish. Even facing the beast tide separated from him by only a membrane, he was no longer afraid.
This was probably the strength an idol bestowed!
Wai's face lit up with excitement, completely unaware that Dox beside him had bright eyes and surging blood energy.
A bloodline wizard's blood energy changed according to the wizard's emotions. At this moment, Dox's blood energy was brimming with blazing restlessness and a thirst for battle.
Clearly, Dox could barely wait to face the rat tide outside.
That blood energy had also infected the two junior apprentices present. So, if one truly investigated it, the force that had stirred Wai up had not been bestowed by his idol at all. It was merely the side effect of his old friend rubbing his fists together in anticipation of battle.
