Suddenly, the stuttering of the elder cut through all the noise. "Tw…. 32 years old!"
Donari felt as though his world had shattered as he stared at the sphere Dyon's hand rested on, as though he was hoping the number would change.
When Dyon had fallen into his coma, he was only just barely a step away from 19 years old. After he awoke, only a year and a few months had passed. Then, he entered his trial where he spent 12 years and an extra few months. After his four-month break with his wives, he was still only 32 years old!
By this point, all eyes were on Dyon. Before, they had looked down on him for being a mere 1st stage essence gatherer. But, if a 32 year old capable of stepping into such a stage wasn't worthy of being a core disciple of a branch sect, then who was?!
