Anji had no idea how long she remained stationary to stabilise her barrier spell. It was more challenging than anything she had ever done before. The intensity was on a completely different level than her isolated training. Although she understood what to do in theory, she was still nothing more than a beginner in refined energy control, thrust directly into a high-level difficulty trial.
Without anyone's help, Anji struggled to find her centre in this strange trial chamber. Her shifu mentioned the presence of illusion and a violent energy scape. Yet, nothing could have prepared her for this alien experience. If Anji had to put a finger on it, the feeling was very similar to soul cultivation arts, except many times more intense. Perhaps this was exactly how the clairvoyance ability of every Mystical Qilin Sect Leader was trained. Being forced to constantly limit her second sight and manage the depth of what she saw was more exhausting than activating it.
