Han Yu saw the rune circle flared to life.
The light rippled outward in concentric rings, and for a moment, Han Yu felt a faint vibration in his spirit. His token pulsed, glowing faintly red before turning back to its usual dull hue.
The entire process lasted less than three seconds.
Han Yu removed the token, nodded once, and walked away. The attendant said nothing, already motioning for the next disciple to step forward.
Han Yu moved toward one of the nearby walls, away from the line. Once he was sure no one was paying attention, he infused a small amount of Qi into the token. His spiritual sense entered it, and new information appeared in his mind like a faint whisper.
The number floating at the center of the interface made him pause.
Merit Balance: 80,000 Points.
Han Yu blinked once. "Eighty thousand?" he murmured under his breath. "That's… a lot. Or maybe it's not?"
He frowned.
