Su Ming activated the Halo of Insight for a split second. Under its influence, his Essence Sight mapped the study into flows of spiritual Qi. Calculating the Qi as needed to balance the flow, he slowly exhaled.
The silver Qi pulled inward. The outer edges converged as the core condensed into a hair-thin filament. It was perfectly sharp and completely stable.
However, Su Ming felt no satisfaction. He had technically cheated, relying on the Lantern's perception to bridge the gap. He knew he could not rely on the Halo of Insight for such continuous, prolonged tasks. Running the Lantern for days would drain his life and soul force to zero, and risk his own life.
The Lantern had given him the perfect structural coordinates, but he realized he would need to spend the next couple of weeks in relentless, daily practice, embedding this into his muscle memory until he could replicate this hair-thin state naturally.
