"Hmm?" Lian Chen's curiosity was piqued as his consciousness returned to his original body. 'Lotus Flower Bloodline!' Lian Chen thought, the words echoing in his mind.
With a deep breath, Lian Chen activated the dormant power within him, feeling the warmth spread from his dantian to the rest of the body.
As the energy surged through him, Lian Chen's senses heightened. He felt a faint tingling on his forehead, followed by a gentle warmth. Opening his eyes, he hurried to a small polished bronze mirror he kept on his desk. Gazing into it, Lian Chen saw the delicate outline of a lotus character glowing softly on his forehead.
The mark pulsed with a serene light, resonating with the energy within him. "Huh, the lotus character…" Lian Chen muttered, examining the mark closely. "It's beautiful, but is this all?"
Longwei's voice echoed in his mind. "Not quite. There's more to it. Turn around and look at your back."
