The Tower

Hao Xuan was less than 30 meters away from the shore when it happened. This time there wasn't an explosion, nor any large shockwaves.

Instead, a small blue colored shockwave created from the energy of the blue light expanded outwards in every single direction. It went through Hao Xuan, doing internal damage and completely shutting down the nanomachines within his bloodstream, along with most of his own nervous system.

All of his senses were messed up and he didn't even know he was. Vision, hearing, and the sense of smell were the most heavily affected as they kept shutting down over and over again.

With nothing but pure willpower, Hao Xuan continued to push himself upward and outward until he felt the solid ground under his feet.

He keeled over, throwing up multiple mouthfuls of blood. Most of his body was covered in second-degree burns that were being healed fast enough to be seen with the naked eye.
