Zhang Ning, meanwhile, stood rooted to the spot, his face slack. He stared foolishly at the woman, chanting over and over, "I'm willing, I'm willing, I'm willing~!"
Gu Zheng shook his head. He had been shaking it ever since the woman appeared.
His vision blurred and doubled. Space warped, the world spun, making him want to lie down and fall into a deep sleep.
Yet, an awareness deep within him kept sounding an alarm, warning him that he must not sleep. He mustn't...
"Mrow?"
A familiar cry suddenly sounded by his ear.
'What's wrong with you?'
'That's right... what... is... wrong... with me!?'
Gu Zheng jolted awake.
His eyes snapped open. He activated his Bronze Elephant Body, unlocking it to 20%. As his muscles bulged, straining against his armor, his Spirit surged. A cold chill washed over him from head to toe, shocking his mind back to full awareness.
"Courting death!"
SWOOSH~
