Noah returned to his meditation posture, but his mind was churning with a new idea.
'I need something more practical than theory,' he decided. 'Something tangible.'
With a thought, Noah summoned his Eclipse Blade from void storage. The short bladematerialized in his hand, its obsidian-like surface absorbing rather than reflecting the ambient light of his domain. Dark purple energy rippled along its edge—void energy in its purest form, contained within the blade's structure.
"Let's see if chi and void can play nice together," Noah muttered, settling the blade across his knees.
He began by channeling chi into his palms, the familiar white energy pooling in his hands. When he felt he had gathered enough, Noah carefully directed the stream toward the Eclipse Blade.
The moment the white chi touched the blade's surface, it sizzled and dispersed. The void energy seemed to reject the foreign power entirely.
