The door opened, and Li Yunyan strode inside with a sharp, valiant air to her steps, no less imposing than a fierce general of the army.
She looked at Fan Lang with the respect a subordinate ought to show a superior. After coming to a stop, she bowed to him.
"Greetings, Alliance Leader," said Li Yunyan.
Fan Lang looked Li Yunyan over and noticed the changes in her. Delighted, he asked, "You broke through to the Out of Body Realm?"
"Yes... Alliance Leader, your insight is truly keen. I only broke through to the Out of Body Realm today. It was all thanks to the 'Restless Mind' you gave me before. That Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure was a tremendous help," Li Yunyan said with a nod.
"That's wonderful news. It deserves celebration. Among all the subsystem holders, excluding those who began with exceptionally high realms, you are the first to become a Middle God. In terms of major realm, you've even caught up to me and now stand on equal footing with me."
"Yes, I finally... finally caught up to you."
Li Yunyan was overwhelmed with emotion. To make that simple statement a reality, she had paid far, far too much.
Day after day, month after month, year after year.
Over these years, Fan Lang had traveled from place to place, fighting across the land and enduring one bloody battle after another. While he fought, Li Yunyan was often on another battlefield, slaughtering enemies with her twin blades.
For Li Yunyan, walking this bloodstained path of martial cultivation had largely been about catching up to that distant, unreachable figure ahead of her.
Today, she had finally gotten her wish. In terms of major realm, she had caught up to Fan Lang. She was much closer to that figure now
