Advancing His Vital Energy (III): Battle

The moment that thought arose, Jiang Liu felt that the sensation of having completely lost his vital energy had vanished entirely.

Moreover, he could now command not only the vital energy within his body, but also the vital energy surrounding him, directing it with his will.

Only then did Jiang Liu understand why, when Nether Hu had clenched his great hand, Jiang Liu had immediately felt the space around him compress.

A Saint Realm expert could briefly command the vital energy and space around himself, using both against his enemies.

With a thought, Jiang Liu conjured an ice blade in his hand, then lightly flicked it forward.

The ice blade seemed formless and colorless, having completely merged into the surrounding space.

Jiang Liu could only perceive it now because it was reflected within his Divine Sense, not because he could see its physical form.

After Jiang Liu flung it out, the ice blade flew steadily forward, only dissipating completely once it passed beyond the range of his Divine Sense.

Just then, Jiang Liu felt something watching him from overhead.

Jiang Liu leaped up from the depths of the sea and soared high into the sky. Looking up at the enormous face that had appeared before him, he narrowed his eyes.

Until then, Jiang Liu had been so caught up in the excitement of being able to sense his vital energy that he had never noticed the dense black clouds gathering overhead, blotting out the sun.

Only now did Jiang Liu realize that, without his noticing, not only had day broken, but it was already almost noon.

I actually lost all sense of time during this advancement. It looks like I need to be more careful next time.

Otherwise, someone could ambush me, and I wouldn't even know what had happened.
