The rewards hovered before Feng Chen's eyes, each one a glimmering reminder of the power he now possessed.
Yet as he took them in, his mind was fixated on a single thought.
"This… this is where my journey truly begins."
A quiet, satisfied smile crept onto his face as he allowed himself a moment of freedom, of release.
He gave up the balance he'd been holding atop the tree and surrendered to the pull of gravity, feeling the thrill of the fall as he plunged backward through the open air.
Halfway down, he felt the familiar rush of Qi around him and decided to test the limits of his transformed body.
He pulled in the energy around him, condensing it in his hands until it was as tangible as wings, shimmering and golden.
Then, with a quick twist, he spread the Qi wings wide, catching the air and bringing his descent to a graceful glide.
The Yang Qi flowed naturally through him, intensifying as his transformation took hold.
