Hearing the screams of pain from Elizabeth that resounded throughout the secret base, the other faction leaders present in the secret base were instantly alerted and stopped what they were doing.
They were curious, worried and baffled as to what exactly was occurring that would cause her to continuously scream in pain, but they didn't dare to even approach the sparring room.
When Adam gave the announcement not to disturb them, his voice was stern and it was clear that it was serious, so checking in on them would merely cause trouble for both of them.
All they could do was continue their training and studying while they awaited the results of whatever Elizabeth and Adam were doing.
An hour passed and the screams of pain still continued and Elizabeth's voice had become much more hoarse after the continuous screaming.
However, the fact that it had continued for an hour could also be regarded as good news since the process was likely being successful if it was taking so long.
That assumption could be true and the cultivation splitting took an hour and a half.
By the end of it, Adam had exhausted most of his Internal Energy which he hadn't expected he would need to and had also used up Elizabeth's energy.
He had barely been able to stay conscious the entire time and his mind and head were aching, causing his excruciating pain and he could barely think straight.
Elizabeth had picked up some slack and was continuing the process, but he had still overestimated her pain tolerance, mental fortitude and control and he had done most of the work.
If it wasn't for Adam pushing himself so much, the process would have failed and suceeding in it alone would have been impossible for Elizabeth, which became clear to her.
What made it so difficult and straining for Adam was that he was doing it for somebody else and in somebody else's body, so it required so much more effort, control and energy to do.
As soon as the cultivation splitting was complete, Adam collapsed forwards and had blood leaking from his nose, ears and eyes.
He wasn't moving at all and Elizabeth instantly became worried.
She was in a very weak state, didn't have any internal energy and was still experiencing pain all over her body, but she still got up to check on Adam who lay on top of her.
Placing her fingers on his pulse, she could sense that his heartbeat seemed to be steady and it seemed that the fatigue and pain he was experiencing was more mental and spiritual than physical.
"Someone come and help"
Elizabeth screamed at the top of her lungs, but she could barely speak and her throat was extremely dry after screaming for over an hour.
She was also barely able to stay conscious and was unable to call for help.
Reaching into Adam's pocket with her fatigued and pained body, she grabbed the communication rune that he had used and managed to utter that she needed help before losing consciousness.
Luckily for Elizabeth, the rune, just like all the other arrays and runes used in the secret base, was being fuelled by the energy chamber and the energy in the atmosphere, otherwise, she would have been unable to use it.
As soon as the others in the secret base heard her faint voice resound throughout the secret base through the communication runes, they all bolted towards the sparring room.
Cole was the first to arrive with his great speed and worry for Adam and Elizabeth, then followed closely by the others.
Initially, they were all shocked by what they saw and were dazed for a moment.
Elizabeth lay on the ground without a shirt, and Adam lay slumped on top of her with his head resting on her breast and also had a nosebleed.
Their minds naturally misunderstood what had occurred for a moment and all sorts of wild ideas appeared within their minds, however, that was only for a moment and they rushed over towards them.
Angela's face was flushed red, while Cole and Chase had amused expressions on their face, but then sensing that Elizabeth's body had changed greatly, they realised that she truly had gone through a transformation.
Her pulse was weak and her body was greatly pained and fatigued, however, she would be fine after some rest in the energy chamber.
While Adam's body seemed mostly fine other than the exhaustion of his Internal Energy, and yet he was completely out cold and was also bleeding from his orifices.
Carrying them both to the energy chamber, they placed each of them on one of the two beds there, that would previously be used by Adam and his master at times, while they gathered around Elizabeth.
They couldn't help but be curious as to what exactly it was that caused her such pain and also forced Adam to push his mind past its limits, so after confirming they would both be okay, they began trying to gauge the change in her body.
"It seems that her cultivation has been split in half. However she has no energy in her body and is greatly fatigued, so we won't be able to know how exactly that had happened and what she can do with it until she wakes up" gathered Chase.
His eyes had glowed slightly while he monitored her body and had a Monk Skill that allowed him to reach such a conclusion.
It would require him to become completely calm and one with his surroundings and the energy around him. That would then allow him to sense his surroundings and be able to see and understand everything around him.
The others had been unable to reach the same conclusion, but after they mentioned it, they could see that her energy pathways seemed to have been changed to form two separate cycles.
That made it clear why she was screaming so much and also made it clear that Adam was taking on heavy mental strain during the process and was aiding the transformation in her body.
All the misconceptions that they initially had were wiped from their minds, but Angela couldn't help but be embarrassed about all the images and ideas that appeared within her mind.
