Slaughtering Foes

Against his expectations, the exploit did not give him the pleasure he had hoped for. As he connected to his Aether, he realized that his mental connection to it was feverish and unstable. When he tried to interact with it and manipulate it, the effect was as fleeting as a pebble falling into a pond. His flow of Aether undulated slightly before regaining its stillness.

Moreover, the Aether he felt was too difficult to perceive, like a kind of very fine smoke. He had to concentrate with all his strength by closing his eyes to feel anything. At least on this aspect, Lu Yan had not lied. Extrasensory Perception was of little use once it was unlocked.

The Aether he barely sensed in his body was undetectable outside his body. If he focused only on his extrasensory perception, he felt as though he were just a dimly glowing light bulb in the dark. An unpleasant experience that was absolutely forbidden to anyone suffering from claustrophobia or achluophobia.
