"Senior Brother Li, no, I should be calling you Captain Li now!" Zhao Mingyu held up his glass, his face flushed red from excitement and a bit of wine. "The Great Sun Realm! Last night when you broke through, the commotion… even through the door, I could feel a pressure that made my hair stand on end. Powerful! So powerful!"
The squad members beside him nodded vigorously in agreement.
They had all followed Li Wen on many missions and knew full well how unfathomably deep the young vice-captain's strength was.
Now that he had officially stepped into the Great Sun Realm, the significance was extraordinary.
"This is the result of everyone's hard work," Li Wen said, holding a cup of water. His face held a tranquil smile, showing no arrogance in the face of their congratulations.
"Guarding the Star Gate is not a one-man job. In the new year, I'll still be counting on all of you brothers."
His simple words carried a reassuring steadiness.
