Challenge

Noel and Anna continued for another ten minutes.

Anna managed to slow down the rate of her Spiritual Energy leaving her body. If she could maintain this rate for a period of time, she could begin the second phase which was to create an outer layer that would contain the Spiritual Energy.

Meanwhile, Noel was still struggling to decrease the rate of his Spiritual Energy. But compared to what it was ten minutes ago, the current rate was only a fourth of its original rate.

Noel also noticed one problem that might actually help him in this challenge. "Can I ask a question?"

"Sure." Old Ru nodded with a serious expression while watching their progress.

"What is Spiritual Energy? Are they like gas coming out of our bodies? Or is it like water? Or maybe it's something that I don't know about?"

"!!!" Old Ru was quite surprised by the question, yet Anna actually answered that question first.
