Lucien felt the pain dissolve, replaced by a soothing warmth that washed over him like a healing tide. The strange voice echoed once again, contemplative and curious.
"Your body… houses multiple energy sources. Strangely, they do not conflict—rather, they show signs of merging."
Lucien's eyes narrowed at the words. Instantly, his thoughts turned to Hybrid Core—the cultivation art he practiced. Though it was of low rank, its function was unique.
'Multiple energies… that must include the Hurriclaw's energy I absorbed, the energy from Hybrid Core, and... that other thing,' he thought, lips pressed tightly together.
Of course, he had no intention of revealing everything to the ancient voice.
"Hahaha… don't worry," the voice chuckled knowingly.
"Everyone has their secrets. I won't pry."
At that, Lucien felt his body relax completely, immersed in an almost euphoric warmth, as if bathing in a hot spring.
