Back at the Tower…
Alex's screams echoed one last time before fading. His body had been broken—and reforged.
The pool's liquid had mostly disappeared, absorbed into his skin. The black lightning subsided. The pain dulled.
In the core of his heart, beside the ring of dark elemental energy, a new ring had formed.
The black lightning circled this new ring.
Alex slowly stood. His breath came evenly now. He looked down at himself.
His pale skin clung tightly to lean, refined muscle. He could feel it—his body cultivation had advanced. As told By Professor Theodore remaking your body with element can improve your body cultivation.
He felt faster, stronger. His reflexes sharper.
Testing it, he sprinted around the chamber.
Black lightning crackled at his heels as he moved—faster than he'd ever run before.
But the speed was hard to control.
"Whoa—!"
BOOM!
He slammed straight into a solid obsidian wall. The impact sent a shockwave through the chamber.
