DEATH… AND ME

“Shit! Again! ”

Rean and Roan then restarted the process and didn ’t get distracted by the changes.
However, it was easier said than done.
As much as they tried to keep balance, they would fail in the end.
Some times Rean used too much energy.
Other times, Roan was too late with the accumulation of Spiritual Energy.

Three hours later, both Rean and Roan were drenched in sweat.
They couldn ’t help but gasp for air.
Still, they understood that it had nothing to do with the other.
It was simply too hard to keep such a balance.
Besides, the two of them missed the point several times, so it would be meaningless to start accusing.
Rean and Roan might not like each other, but they are two grown-ups, after all.
They wouldn ’t start a fight since both of them were making mistakes.

”This is hard as hell! ”

”Indeed.
The only good news is that it doesn ’t seem like we need the Spirit Stones to open them.
So we can leave the Spirit Stones for later. ”

”There is no other choice, we can only keep trying more and more.
At first, we couldn ’t keep the balance for even a minute, but we can do that for at least 5 now. ”

”However, we only reached around 10% of the time we need from what I can feel.
Is there really no other way to keep the balance? ”

”Stop complaining and let ’s do this.
It might take some time, but it is not like we are lacking it to start with.
If anything, we are far ahead of any other kid of our age. ”

Rean smiled gloomily, but they started again.

The next morning, Rean and Roan went to class, looking like two ragged dolls.
Hamarlia asked if they didn ’t want to stay home for the day, but they refused.
The needed some time off after an entire night of tries.

Time passed, and another week went by.
This night, Rean and Roan had been able to keep the balance of Spiritual Energy for over an hour already! The two meridians were already over 90% open, needing just a little to open completely.

Rean and Roan knew that they reached a critical juncture, so their concentration increased even more! They didn ’t dare to slack at the moment.

”Almost! ”

”Almost! ”

Finally, the last meridian was opened! Rean and Roan smiled brightly! An entire week of effort was paid off in the end.
But just as they were about to get up, something unexpected happened.

The Spiritual Energy of the Heaven and Earth started to flow like crazy into those two specific meridians.
They soon noticed that those meridians were not connected to their body, but with the White and Black threads connecting their Souls to the White and Black Orb.

However, they noticed that there wasn ’t enough spiritual energy.
Their 104th meridians started to shake as if they were about to close again.
Seeing that, Rean and Roan were frightened!

”Spirit Stones, grab your Spirit Stones! ”

They reached under their beds and immediately took the Spirit Stones out.
The Spiritual Energy inside the Spirit Stones started to rush into the last meridians, then into the White and Black Threads, finally reaching the White and Black Orb of Light.

It was at this moment that they heard.
