Ning used his defensive technique.
His core jumped into action as it started pouring out an insane amount of Essence that gathered all around his body, straining him to stay there.
The leaving essence also put a burden on his core, but Ning was strong enough to handle both of those burdens without faltering to it. After all, he knew they would only fatigue him temporarily as he had tried out the technique multiple times before.
Kepli was stunned at the absolute amount of Essence that was gathered in Ning's body. It was more than what his core held right now. Was this really someone in the same realm as him?
Then, his surprise multiplied when he sensed an Essence he had never sensed before. What was this Essence?
It didn't feel dangerous like Fire, nor solid like Earth. It wasn't calm like water or free like the Wind. It wasn't Light, and it most certainly wasn't Shadow.
