He flexed his fingers, watching silver and gold sparks dance across his knuckles before fading. True Spirit Realm, Fifth Level Peak. Foundation purity enhanced. The System's notification from last night floated in his memory. He felt stronger than he ever had, the Ice Flame Qi circulating through him like a second heartbeat.
