The morning sun filtered through clean hospital windows. Three days since the raid. Three days since killing a Master rank cultivator.
Raze sat on the edge of his bed, testing his ribs. The pain was gone. Kael's Regeneration plus his own B rank Endurance had done their work.
His Status window flickered to life.

His Swordsmanship had settled at C rank after the combat experience. Fighting a Master had accelerated his growth beyond normal training. The muscle memory was integrating. The movements becoming natural.
He stood. Stretched. Everything worked.
Knock knock.
