Late at night, all was silent.
Chen Shouyi sat cross-legged on the bed, entering a deep meditation.
His breathing was long and distant, each inhale and exhale lasting over a minute.
In a state of unconscious awareness, a complex and awe-inspiring image became increasingly clear in his mind. The strands of muscle were delicate yet dense, full yet dimensional; he could see not only the surface muscles but also within, observing the fine blood vessels, various nerve endings, tendons between muscles, and lymphatic tissue.
There was no distinction between inside and outside, as what appeared in his mind was a four-dimensional image.
At this point, it seemed that a certain stage had been completed, as the scope of the image in his mind began to slowly spread. From the edges, countless dark intersecting lines started to extend inward, gradually outlining a general shape...
...
After ten minutes, Chen Shouyi opened his tired eyes, a hint of joy flashing across them.
