Early Morning, 33rd of Trian Month.
The two suns of the solar system shone upon a misty valley. The sunlight dispersed the mists and reached the body of a young man sitting on a stone platform.
Blink!
Charles opened his eyes and a green light flashed through them for a second.
"Took way longer than expected." He felt his body's condition and muttered in a complicated voice.
"It's still very fast, young master!" A voice came from nowhere. It was the level 9 protector with Charles.
And he didn't say those words to comfort him. He was being completely honest.
Advancing to level 7 was originally a time-taking affair. Stabilizing the divine path after advancement also took a significant amount of time.
Even geniuses took a week or so before they were comfortable with their new power.
Of course, they didn't sit still for a whole week. But spent the major part of the day adapting to the newfound strength.
