Ed sat down on an obsidian platform just outside of the lava lake. He closed his eyes and entered meditation. 'Let's see...' He focused his mana to explore near his middle heart, searching for the fire storage meridian.
"No, that won't work." Sect Master Long's voice interrupted. "You can only use fire mana to find it. You're using your seven-colored mana. You need to divide your mana into seven."
"Divide it?" He questioned as he opened his eyes. "I've never done that before."
"Tsk." Huo clicked his tongue while shaking his head. "This is the problem with stress awakened espers. The shortcuts to power always cause problems. Most of you never even progress much beyond your initial awakened powers."
