"It's been a while," Headmaster Qi Xing said when I entered the office. He clasped his hands and placed them on his desk, staring at me sternly. Then he relaxed and leaned back in his seat. "Good. You have progressed in your cultivation yet again."
"Not as mch as I hoped to," I muttered under my breath. Qi Xing snorted derisively.
"My boy, not many cultivators can reach Blackened Skies realm when they are under thirty. The fact that you've attained such a high level is testament to your skills, talent and hard work."
