"Alec and his siblings continued their journey, but this time they noticed that Alec seemed absent-minded.
He kept looking at the two weapons strapped to his waist, but his siblings weren't too concerned.
They believed he must have reached a breakthrough point in his cultivation.
All of them had made progress to the next stage, including Brandon, who initially joined them as the odd one out, with only one element, while they were all Dual elementalist.
But now Brandon had become their highest-ranking Mage, thanks to the fact that he only needed to focus on one element, Earth, and had a peak affinity for it.
The Constant battles and the power stones they recovered also supported his fast cultivation speed.
Only Alec knew all the factors behind Brandon's excellence.
The other mages saw him as a rare genius, thinking his new cultivation techniques were a perfect fit for him.
