I noticed the author pays attention to small physical reactions. Zhang touching his forehead in surprise, Pan Xiaodan’s tears hiding a trembling smile—these ground the emotions. The moment where Zhang swallows the Profound Origin Pill and feels the warm current is described in a visceral way that makes me almost feel it.

I’m a little disappointed that the three traitors just walked away and didn’t cause more trouble. They vanished into the rain and we haven’t seen them since. For a group that was so aggressive, it felt anticlimactic. But maybe they’ll return later as a recurring threat with a grudge. That would be better than just dropping them. Gao He seems like the type to hold a grudge.
