Max stepped forward calmly and bowed toward the seven family heads and Elder Joe. His movements were respectful and steady, yet the entire atmosphere around him had already changed. The title of Saint carried a weight that every disciple present could clearly feel.
"Thank you to the Family Heads and Guest Elder Joe for the rewards," Max said respectfully. His voice was neither arrogant nor overly humble. It carried a calm sincerity that reflected his determination. "I will do my best to not let you all down."
The seven family heads nodded with satisfaction. Elder Joe also looked at Max with a faint smile. From the moment he had seen Max's performance inside the combat tower, he had already understood that the young man standing before them possessed extraordinary potential. It was the kind of potential that could one day shake entire star realms.
