Bab 226: 2nd Level

This pill was known as the Energy Boost Pill and was said to have the effect of temporarily raising the power of one's spiritual techniques. There were some negative repercussions, however, though the current Roshi clearly could not be bothered by such things to achieve victory.

He knew that he would likely lose all face if he lost to Ezra here.

Scarlet red surfaced in Roshi's eyes as an evil look flashed within them. In the next instant, his speed abruptly soared, a flash of red faintly visible in the mists swirling around his body.

In a short few minutes, he had widened the lead once again.

With the Energy Boost Pill, Roshi's speed was now comparable to the Gossamer Steps technique with over 60 yarns knitted.
