The torrential energy of the spatial portal surged around Xiao Ming, pressing against his soul with an unbearable weight.
It felt as though the very fabric of space was tearing at his being, each pulse of energy threatening to rip him apart.
His heart pounded violently, its rhythm erratic and deafening, as if it might leap out of his chest at any moment.
In stark contrast, Mu Yunxi stood beside him, her demeanor calm and unshaken, as if the crushing pressure of the portal was nothing more than a gentle breeze.
Her serene presence only deepened Xiao Ming's frustration as he struggled to adapt his body to the overwhelming force.
WHOOSH!
The world spun violently as Xiao Ming was flung out of the portal, his body dangling precariously in mid-air.
For a moment, he thought he would plummet to the ground, but Mu Yunxi's swift intervention saved him from a brutal crash.
