Energy coursed through her body in a chaotic charge as Xiaolin gasped. She almost didn't have time to transform the worldly energy into Qi. It could've been disastrous for anyone else.
Mortals cycle the energy through their meridians and transform them into Qi, and only then would they have a full grasp over them. However, with the inconsiderable amount of Qi she possessed, circulating all the energy through the meridians and transforming them became terribly burdensome.
The healthy ratio was 10:1 for Qi to worldly energy. Xiaolin broke the rule the moment she began. She had no problem until it was 4:1, but she couldn't handle anymore currently.
Xiaolin had to limit her absorption of energy in the end, decreasing her chances of a breakthrough yet again. She smiled ruefully and continued on with the process.
