After Wei Ying and the soldiers left, Gu Shaoze said, "Mo'er, I will try to attempt a breakthrough. During the process, I need you to guard me."
Finally understanding his intention, Rong Mo'er asked, "Shaoze, will you be alright?"
"Don't worry. Now, with so many crystal cores, I will be fine," Gu Shaoze reassured her.
"Okay."
Gu Shaoze took out the water-type crystal cores and continued filling up the water tank.
When he was running out of energy, he would absorb a crystal. Since he was absorbing the same element as his ability, he only needed one crystal to fully recover his energy.
He repeated the process several times until he filled up the second tank. After he finished absorbing the crystal for the nth time, he suddenly felt the energy inside his body go out of control.
The pain of the energy tearing up his meridians was so intense that he broke out in cold sweat. Gritting his teeth, he grabbed several water-type crystal cores and continued absorbing the energy.
