The light that was shining started getting brighter and brighter now. "Oh shit! What do I do now?" he thought.
He quickly ran to the center of the formation and sat down. "What happens now?" he wondered.
Soon he was starting to feel the heat coming off of the yang jades. "Is this it?" he wondered. The heat wasn't strong at all.
"No way this is it," he thought. That small of heat would do nothing for him. Just then, he felt the intensity of the heat grow a little bit.
"Oh, it's going up," he thought and waited. A few moments later, it got even higher. The heat was so high that it was starting to get a little uncomfortable now.
A few moments later, Alex couldn't stand staying in the center of the formation anymore. It was way too hot.
"No, I must persevere," he thought. He took off his upper robe and threw it towards a corner. He also threw away his storage bags and his ring and sat there with his well-built body.
