Aldrian smiled when Zander deeply bowed to him. Zander at this moment was truly different from the time Aldrian picked him up from the Heavenly Path Academy. Right now, he was shining and no longer covered in the mud of being unrecognized, for there was no one who doubted his true worth. Everyone spoke of him with admiration instead of contempt.
From the moment Zander defeated his inner demon, Aldrian knew that this disciple of his had become far more confident and gained greater resolve. He was truly satisfied with Zander's development and how he had erased his pessimistic mind. Now Zander's character was much more worthy of someone who possessed a special physique.
Aldrian touched Zander's shoulder while he was still bowing.
