"Ugh!" As Li Xiaoya stood up, his whole body swayed as though he could barely keep his footing. Yet he did not fall. Instead, the muscles throughout his body rippled with minute movements...
"Let's try!" Li Xiaoya tried taking a step forward, but his posture looked nothing like his usual walk. No matter how one looked at it, it was peculiar, crooked and lopsided, as though he were not the one controlling his body...
"Uh! That's not right!" After taking several steps in that strange posture, Li Xiaoya stopped and muttered in frustration...
