As Kai's body continued to heal, he began to notice something different about himself. He could feel a power within him, a power that he had never felt before.
He experimented with it, trying to understand its limits and its capabilities. He found that he could summon a bolt of lightning from his fingertips or create a shield of energy to protect himself.
It was like he had unlocked a part of himself that had been dormant all this time. And as he delved deeper into this newfound power, he realized that it was connected to his inability to cultivate.
His friends were amazed by what they saw, but they also worried about the potential dangers of this power. They cautioned him to be careful, to not let it consume him.
But Kai couldn't help but feel excited. He finally felt like he was on equal footing with his friends, like he could contribute to their battles in a meaningful way.
And as they continued on their journey, Kai pushed himself to further hone his abilities. He learned to control the lightning, directing it with pinpoint accuracy. He learned to create complex energy constructs, like a staircase made of light that led them over a treacherous chasm.
But as his power grew, so did his doubts. He wondered if he was truly ready for this, if he was ready to wield this much power. And he wondered if his friends were right, if this power could lead him down a dangerous path.
But for now, he pushed those doubts aside and focused on the present. He was eager to see what other abilities lay dormant within him, waiting to be unleashed. And he knew that with his friends by his side, he could handle whatever challenges lay ahead.
