The Radiant Crystal shot through the air like a bullet, heading straight for the teammate.
The teammate stared at it, unblinking, every nerve in his body stretched taut. He was ready, hands outstretched to catch it, not daring to make a single mistake as the crystal hurtled closer and closer.
But then, something unexpected happened.
Just as the Radiant Crystal was halfway to its destination, there was a sharp snap. Two long, slender fingers caught it mid-flight.
"Huh?"
Everyone froze, stunned.
Ethan's figure appeared out of nowhere, his gaze lowered as he inspected the Radiant Crystal now resting between his fingers.
The moment it touched his hand, a cool, icy sensation spread through his palm. Under the shimmering glow of the crystal, he could feel his body's cells buzzing with energy. It was clear—this thing could accelerate evolution.
"Now this is a damn good find… and I didn't even have to lift a finger." Ethan thought to himself.
