System vs Rebirth

Noel and Anna looked at each other.

"Are we going to circulate our energy between each other?" Noel and Anna asked at the same time.

"That's obvious. You two will control your Spiritual Energy, then circulate it to each other and continue to the level where your element will be circulated as well." Old Ru nodded.

"Won't this be dangerous?" Noel frowned.

"Of course, it will be dangerous. If you don't trust each other, then you will be fighting back against the energy whether consciously or subconsciously. However, I do think that you can do that, right?"

Noel and Anna looked at each other. It might be a challenging task for them, but it might not be as well.

Noel hated Anna in the past. He might still hold some grudges, but it didn't change the fact that he trusted her enough to gamble his life. Anna, on the other hand, had a complicated emotion because of what happened during the adventure as well as what Old Ru said yesterday. She felt like she couldn't treat Noel the same way as before. But she also trusted him and even dared to sacrifice her life to help him.

Noel and Anna took a deep breath as they made a decision.

"I…" Noel and Anna opened their mouths before correcting their words, "No, we will do it."

Old Ru smiled. "For now, your training will be to control your Spiritual Energy in your hand. Try to decrease the amount of energy and form an outer layer that will stop your Spiritual Energy from flowing outside. Then, make it as thin as possible so that it will become like another layer of your skin. Once you reach that stage, you can begin circulating your Spiritual Energy to each other."

Anna nodded with a serious expression. Although she hadn't done it before, she had a good foundation and experience to do so. In fact, she was most likely to be the first one to succeed.

Meanwhile, Noel didn't want to lose to her. However, he completely understood that her talent far surpassed him. Even if his talent was above average, it wouldn't be enough to follow the rate of her growth. Hence, Noel prepared one more thing that could allow him to bypass the gap in their talent.

about the challenge. Since this is a task that I have to complete as soon as possible so that Anna and I can begin tackling the same problem at the same time… I think I don't need to ask for it, right?' Noel tried to negotiate
