Adrian heard the murmurs around him, but to him, they were nothing more than the ramblings of fools. They didn’t understand the situation and were simply envious. Their opinions didn’t matter to him.

Opening his eyes, he smiled at Tyron and said, "Don’t worry. I’m perfectly fine."

Tyron, however, felt even more guilt, convinced that Adrian was just putting on a brave face. He believed Adrian's strength hadn’t increased much. In truth, the azure light had greatly enhanced Adrian’s physical power to a level that he could now control, but these changes were subtle. They were undetectable unless Adrian chose to release his aura.

“Adrian, I’ve caused you trouble,” Tyron said earnestly. “I can never repay you. If you ever need anything, whether it’s climbing a mountain of swords or crossing a sea of fire, I’ll do it without hesitation.”

Adrian was taken aback by Tyron's vow. It felt a bit awkward, and he didn’ know what Tyron was thinking. He wouldn’t want Tyron to go to such extremes.
