Following their duel, an elder from the sect requested a private audience. His presence was commanding, his gaze sharp and discerning.
"You have achieved remarkable synchronization," he said. "Few twins, even in history, have harmonized Qi like yours. You possess not only strength but also potential for creation and leadership."
Matthew bowed respectfully. "We are honored, Elder."
Michael added, "We will continue to refine our skills and contribute to the sect."
The elder's gaze lingered on them. "Remember, power is not measured solely by cultivation or technique. Influence, wisdom, and foresight will determine who survives in this world. You are rising stars, but stars can burn out if not careful."
The twins nodded solemnly. The elder's warning echoed the dragon turtle's advice, reinforcing the need for vigilance.
