...
「Seven days later.」
Lin Changheng was in the middle of a game of Go with Yan Mingyi in the courtyard, a fierce battle where their pieces were in utter disarray.
Suddenly, a moment of inspiration struck him.
It was a subtle, profound feeling.
The opportunity to break through... was here!
CLACK...
A game piece, held aloft and ready to be placed, fell from his unsupported fingers and landed on the board.
Yan Mingyi, sitting across from him, saw a blur. In the next instant, there was no trace of Lin Changheng. He had vanished completely, as if he had never been there at all.
Only a single sentence, sent via voice transmission, quietly drifted into her ear.
'Brother Lin has sensed the opportunity to break through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment? That's so fast!'
