The energy that entered Duan Mu's body was divided into two distinct parts. One half of that energy was being absorbed in his flesh, instead of creating a core.
At the same time, the other half of the energy simply disappeared! Even Duan Mu didn't know where it went. However, Xu Shan was observing everything carefully.
He noticed where the other half of the energy went. It didn't stay inside the body of Duan Mu at all. Instead, it was absorbed by the pendant of the young man.
'That pendant is taking his energy. Is that why he hadn't managed to awaken any Celestial Spirit? No, it's not because of the pendant. It's also not because he isn't talented. Instead, it's something else...'
'His Celestial Energy is starting to gather in his flesh... Just what is he?'
