System vs Rebirth

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.

"Spiritual Energy doesn't have any form. In fact, its form follows anything that it's attached to. For example, if you're trying to circulate your Spiritual Energy inside your body, it will have a liquid form, which is like blood flowing in your body. Once it's outside, it will use air as a medium, which is like gas."

"I see…" Noel nodded and began to change his approach once he knew about it. If the Spiritual Energy inside his body was like blood, then the process of letting it out and turning it into gas should be evaporation.

Just like how the water turned into vapor when boiling, he imagined the blood evaporated, releasing Spiritual Energy. His hand would be acting as the bowl used to boil it.

Noel had just made a connection that he thought was the correct one for him. If his power was the one that acted like fire, boiling all that Spiritual Energy, he should focus on his control to find the right flame for this to work.
