She closed her eyes and felt the energy build inside her. The feeling was pleasant and powerful at the same time. Her muscles relaxed, and she felt a sudden surge of strength. Zhen Xin's heart raced as she realized that she was experiencing the same effect that many had described from these crystal cores. It was as if the energy was awakening something deep inside her, something that had been dormant for a long time.
After a few moments, she opened her eyes slowly. They shone with surprise and wonder. "I… I feel different," she whispered. "It's as if I am stronger now." The warmth continued to spread through her body, and she could almost feel her strength increasing with every passing second. The miraculous effect surprised her; she had never felt anything like it before.
