The days that followed were… surreal.
For Han Yu, the breakthrough itself had not been the most difficult part to process. The tribulation, the dual advancement, the transformation of both his Qi and Soul cultivation, all of that had followed a path he could understand. It had been dangerous, yes, but it had been something he had worked toward.
The promotion…
That was another matter entirely.
Even now, three days later, as he sat within the new Legacy Disciple courtyard assigned to him, Han Yu still found himself staring at nothing at times, his thoughts circling back to the same conclusion.
'This… is ridiculous.'
He exhaled slowly, looking down at the jade token in his hand.
A Legacy Disciple token.
He flipped it once.
Twice.
The material was different. Heavier. Denser. The engravings on it seemed to shift faintly when viewed from certain angles, as if the token itself carried a will of its own.
He had checked it several times.
It was real.
Painfully real.
