Zheng was still groaning in pain with his eyes closed. However, now that he was in the unlocked mode, he had control over his muscles, blood, nerves, and partial energy flow, an ability that came with the second stage. He paused the flow of blood energy completely.
Yet the energy was still boiling and resisting even under control since it was at much a higher quantity and quality. It wouldn’t leave the navel position that easily. Zheng had to force them back to his head bit by bit. Almost ten hours had passed before he moved them all back to his head, then even more time for him to confined the energy in place.

Lori was the first to notice Zheng waking up. She jumped in his arms with a cheer, despite staining Zheng’s shirt with the kebab she was holding. For a moment, Zheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
