I strolled through the streets of the sect without a care in the world.
Now that I reached the ascender's rank, hardly anyone could easily challenge me.
Sure, I have yet to learn the depth of my new power or adapt to how the fights would look from now on. But when it all boiled down to reality, I could bet this new stage of mine was just more of the same.
I wouldn't miraculously discover new means of manipulating mana. All my skills from before would still make up the majority of my firepower.
In other words, even though I was nowhere as powerful as I could be with just a little effort, I wasn't a pushover either.
'The only way for Sangakarts to really endanger me would be by employing that royal of theirs,' I thought while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the outerpost.
