'Disciple!?' Jayce had been through a roller coaster of emotions over the past few minutes, causing his brain to have trouble keeping up. Firstly he had almost suffered from Qi deviation before almost being burned alive.
Afterwards he felt the joy of making a breakthrough and surviving the whole ordeal, but the receding power of the Magma Pools threw him into a state of anxiety. Now after running for his life after his secret was exposed, he was now faced with a new emotion.
Complete and utter confusion.
"W-What!?"
Elder Qing seemed to find his expression to be rather humorous, as he couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
"You heard me. While I'd like to give you a choice, the fact that you're in possession of the Divine Body Arts doesn't leave you with many options." He said.
Seeing the confusion still etched in Jayce's face, Elder Qing decided to explain it properly.
