An astonished expression formed on the face of the middle-aged soldier as he looked Daniel up and down, almost as if trying to find out from which of his pockets he was getting this level of confidence. Despite Daniel's disrespectful behavior, in order to avoid offending a possibly higher domain, the middle-aged soldier released a wisp of his power and let it wiggle its way towards the disrespectful young man that was floating just a few feet away from him, while holding one of his descendants by the throat.

During the few seconds of quiet staring that followed, the middle-aged soldier saw nothing but a man in his late thirties with the appearance of a young man in his mid twenties, a cultivation that had just breached through the stage of true championship, and the presence of a power that belonged to an aspect of existence that he had never encountered, and whose purity could be compared to that of the weakest members of his, and the other domains.
