Guild Fallen Sun, Guild Leader’s Office
"Your status in the guild has been successfully promoted." Selenia looked at the two girls standing in front of her with a smile on her face.
"Thank you so much, Master."
"Thank you so much, Lady Selenia."
Tiana and Alice spoke at the same time with respect. Then they looked at the badges placed on their clothes, and smiles appeared on their faces.
The promotion wasn’t just about a simple badge. Now they had far greater access to resources, the skill library, and also the training halls of the guild.
If they were lucky enough to win in the competition held for the Young Suns, they might even be able to enter the Celestial Domain through one of those legendary items.
That meant they could step into the Celestial Domain even before turning eighteen and challenging the Tower, a benefit that could push them far ahead of others their age.
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became.
"Well, before we move on to the rest of your rewards, do you want to enter the Sun Spring?" Selenia could clearly see the excitement in their eyes.
"Of course! The sooner we can enter, the better." Alice and Tiana nodded at the same time. Alice had already heard from the guild leader that she was also allowed to enter.
At first, she had been shocked and couldn’t understand why the guild suddenly allowed her in, but later her master explained that it was because of her brother.
Her brother had made a deal with their guild, and in return, it allowed her to enter the Sun Spring and strengthen her foundation.
Every time she thought about it, a sweet feeling spread through her heart.
As for where the guild leader and the others were, naturally, they had gone somewhere else to examine the skill they had obtained from Daniel.
"Good, then there’s no need to waste time. Follow me." Selenia didn’t hesitate and led them down to the lowest floor of the guild building.
There were several portals there. They headed toward one guarded by sentries, and after showing the entry permit they had received from the guild leader, they were allowed through.
Suddenly, the world around them changed, and the next moment they found themselves in a completely different place, one that looked like the descriptions of paradise.
It was an untouched and beautiful nature that words could barely describe. In the middle of this scenery was a waterfall that seemed to flow directly from the sun itself, forming a spring.
The water in the spring shone, and its color was different from normal water. It looked like traces of golden light were mixed into it.
"This is the Sun Spring, the foundation of our guild, the most sacred place in our guild, and the very reason for our existence." Selenia explained without even looking back at them.
"You can use it to transform your potential and talents and make them much stronger. You can also use it to refine and construct a Spiritual Sea. The foundation it gives you will give you a great advantage over others your age in the future."
"But be careful. The water in this spring is not like normal water. Only stay inside as long as your soul can endure. If you feel burning in your soul, come out immediately."
"Any questions?"
"Master, how should we use the spring? Just absorb its energy?" Alice asked.
"Not just absorb it. You must use the energy in this spring to temper every organ and skeletal structure in your body as much as possible," Selenia replied.
"Then what about our soul, Lady Selenia?" this time Tiana suddenly asked.
"Your soul is too fragile and weak for that. Don’t worry. In the future, when you become stronger, you can come back again, though of course you’ll need to achieve many contributions for the guild."
The two nodded in understanding. They removed their clothes and carefully stepped toward the spring. Before fully entering, they first placed only part of their legs in.
Then they slowly submerged their whole bodies until only their heads remained above the surface. Both took deep breaths and began absorbing the energy of the water.
Suddenly, streams of golden light slowly entered their bodies. As soon as it did, their bodies were struck with intense pain, but they clenched their teeth and endured.
Feeling that the pain could even make them lose consciousness, they quickly mobilized the absorbed energy and spread it throughout their bodies.
Hearts, brains, bones, muscles, skin, flesh—every part of their bodies was tempered. Each time they focused on another part, a new wave of pain assaulted them.
At moments, they felt like they couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to give up, but their willpower held them back from doing so.

The announcements of the Mother System appeared one after another in front of them. Their physical growth surged explosively, and they could feel the strength filling their entire bodies.
Not just that—their strength felt at least doubled, their vision became much clearer, and their thoughts seemed easier.
The speed of their mental analysis also seemed to have greatly improved.
It didn’t take long before their mana began to increase as well. Still, they didn’t stop there—they wanted to see if they could use it to increase their rank.
Unfortunately, after trying once, they realized their rank did not change at all. It was useless.
They didn’t waste more time and continued to complete the tempering of their bodies. Soon, they felt pain spreading to their souls.
That meant their bodies had reached their limit. This made them frown, because they still hadn’t obtained what they truly wanted.
Naturally, it was the increase of their talent and potential. Their talent had already been among the best in the country. Maybe even in the entire region, few could compete with them.
But in the world? They were only considered first-class—not among the best or the monstrous prodigies. And they weren’t satisfied, especially when their role model was Daniel.
Through the online community, they were naturally familiar with the world’s greatest prodigies. Comparing them to Daniel, it was clear that Daniel wasn’t inferior at all—he might even be on the same level or slightly above them.
As his sisters, they didn’t want to become a burden. On the contrary, they wanted to do everything they could to stand beside Daniel.
And for that, their talent had to improve. The Sun Spring was an opportunity they had to take full advantage of.
Suddenly, their souls began to sting, a clear sign of damage. Even so, they didn’t stop.
Instead, they increased their absorption speed. An unbearable pain spread through their entire bodies, their vision began to darken, and their minds started shutting down.
Their breathing turned extremely heavy, and it seemed like they could die at any moment.
Then, an announcement appeared before them that made their eyes shine with excitement.
