Khan's casual mood waned as his body relaxed, making room for the more serious topics that battle had highlighted.
The wild bursts of mana caused by the clash of different strands of energy exited Khan's body, behaving like purple-red steam that blew out of his figure.
Khan's cells also relaxed, his muscles losing their burlier state to return him to his still muscular but leaner form. Even the lightning bolt in his hand disappeared as he flexed his arms and stretched left and right, holding back a groan at the faint soreness he experienced.
That slight discomfort was short-lived, but Khan didn't ignore it. Despite his incredible body, enforcing that full and powerful state had consequences he had to account for.
On the outside, the technique had looked easy, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Khan had basically forced his body to reach its physical limits while also replacing his mana with the wilder energy released by applying the Transcendent Step's theory.
