章 501: Calm Down, I'm Calm Damnit

(MC POV)

Well fuck. No portal.

Right, that shouldn't be too much of a problem, I still have my soul anchor that I can just…

Why can't I feel my soul anchor?

No… Wait a minute.

My Quarks… I can't sense them? I can't…

No, they're still there, but it seems to have been suppressed...

I reached out my hand and tried to summon a ball of light, only to have nothing appear.

I fought to suppress my rising panic attack, sucking in lungfuls of air and breathing out to calm myself.

Check it, check it first… It's fine… My Cultivation Point is still intact… I'm not crippled. I'm not crippled.

Relax… Breathe…

Breathe damn it! Stop shaking! It's fine… It's fine… I'm fine...

"Master?"

I jumped at the sudden voice.

"Master? Are you alright? Your heart rate is increasing…"

Ah, I almost forgot…

I patted my robes, "It's… I'm fine Xun Guan. Just… Just a little surprised by the situation."
