Su Chen glanced at the panel. With a thought, the Crimson Thunder Core in his chest suddenly buzzed, and a subtle tremor spread through his bones and blood.
Dark red patterns swam beneath his skin, glowing with a crimson light like molten rock. His muscle fibers tightened as lightning danced across his body, vaporizing the air into a scorching mist with a CRACKLE.
Su Chen observed the changes carefully, tapping his palm against his chest. It produced a solid THUD THUD sound.
A moment later, the unusual phenomena on his body's surface dissipated. This defensive ability was stacked on top of the armor that had fused with his body.
He decided to test his Spiritual Power. As it flowed from him, moisture in the air condensed into liquid before his eyes.
"Finally..." Su Chen let out a long sigh. "I don't have to say everything out loud anymore."
