Yara's eyes widened in astonishment. "What's happening? My cultivation is... it's breaking through!" he exclaimed, feeling the power of his water affinity surging to new heights.
Captain Zao grinned ear to ear, his excitement palpable. "Mine too! It must be the reward for killing that monster," he proclaimed, relishing the newfound strength of his earth-based abilities.
Lady Xin's whip crackled with renewed vigor, and she could feel the wind responding to her every command. "I can sense it too! My wind affinity is advancing!" she said, her voice filled with elation.
