Tian Lei felt the difference immediately.
The cycle didn't just run—it grew stronger with every rotation.
With each breath, Lightning sharpened.
With each pulse, Fire deepened.
With each shift, Wind grew lighter and more flexible.
With each wave, Life-energy thickened and stabilized the other three.
"It's adapting to me," he realized quietly.
The four elements were no longer acting like separate forces.
They were starting to behave like parts of a single system—his system.
Every mistake he made earlier… every imbalance… every unstable spark… it was all gone now.
He kept the rotation going, slower this time, letting the technique shape itself fully inside his body. The more he circulated, the cleaner the flow became. Small imperfections smoothed out. Rough edges softened. The energy moved with complete trust in the path he built.
Minutes passed—calm, peaceful, steady.
Eventually, Tian Lei exhaled and let the energies settle back into his core.
