Chapter 229: A Miracle of Life

An unknown amount of time passed before Leon was able to regain his consciousness. The turbidity in his eyes cleared and he immediately inspected himself for any damages. There was none.

As a doctor, he understood that the pain that comes from tempering his meridians would be like striking his nerves. The pain would be much greater than creating Body Runes, but he still underestimated his own pain tolerance and passed out.

"You're awake." 

Maya said nonchalantly on the side.

"How long had I passed out?" 

"10 minutes." 

"Only 10 minutes?" 

Leon creased his brows. It was a lot shorter than he expected, but he immediately understood why after he finished his self-inspection. He had run out of pseudo-Grandmist energy. 

The few strands he had refined had already merged with his meridian channels during the tempering process and became a part of it.
