Another Qi-Storage Pill ended in Liam's mouth, refilling his meridians once more, albeit not without repercussions. That was already the fifth he had used since the fight with Julian, and his body was starting to complain.
The issue was more mental than physical, like the weakness caused by a cold. A body just wasn't meant to be emptied and refilled so many times so quickly, and there was also the weight of the employed techniques to consider.
Compared to when Liam had fought Jessica, his body endured the struggle better. Still, he remained drenched in sweat, having suffered a financial loss unbearable for most rooting experts.
Yet, there was no other option. Only the Sky-Spitting Bolt had the power to pierce the two defensive layers at a distance, enabling a preemptive strike. Liam also had to pour all the Qi he had into the weapon art to leave nothing to chance.
