As the food entered his mouth, it transformed into streams of pure energy, sliding down his esophagus into his stomach. It was rapidly absorbed by his body, replenishing the massive amount of energy he had expended during his morning training.

The meal that had once left him feeling full and brimming with energy now only produced a faint warmth in his stomach. The energy supplement felt like a tiny stream flowing into a great river—gone in an instant, bringing little satisfaction.
