Logan Bennett was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What?"

Chad Sullivan let out a soft sigh and said, "Back when I absorbed star force into my body, it took me a full three months before I was able to refine my body with star force for the first time and thus advance to the first star rank. Even your sister, a genius of this generation, took a whole week, but you managed it in just one night. Heh, such divine favor is truly extraordinary."

Logan Bennett lowered his head in embarrassment, but inwardly he thought, What nonsense divine favor—it's clearly because of the beast chess!

Of course, this was something he dared not say out loud.

Chad Sullivan pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are blessed with divine favor here, Miss Ziyuan naturally can't take you away. However, you don't need to be so anxious about manifesting a divine artifact." He continued in a gentle tone, "Generally speaking, being able to receive divine favor and manifest a divine artifact at the fourth rank is already an incredible feat. You're only at the first rank now, so there's really no need to rush."

Logan Bennett hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly. He knew that he had indeed been a bit impatient these past few days, and that kind of mindset would only make things worse, offering no help at all.

Chad Sullivan was surprised in his heart. He had watched Logan Bennett grow up and knew this child's temperament well. But in recent days, the child seemed to have changed a lot. Could it be that after taking the Star Marrow Pill, even one's personality would become distorted?

Shaking his head, Chad Sullivan pushed aside the messy thoughts in his mind. He stood up and said, "Logan, keep working hard." He walked to the door, suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Logan, your sister has high hopes for you. Be good to her in the future."

A ripple stirred in Logan Bennett's heart, and he blurted out, "Big Brother Sullivan, how did my sister get that Star Marrow Pill?"

Chad Sullivan hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Ziyuan won't let me tell you."

Logan Bennett suddenly stood up and pleaded, "Big Brother Sullivan, if you don't tell me, I won't be able to find peace in my heart and won't be able to focus on cultivating. Please, tell me."

Chad Sullivan hesitated again and again, but finally sighed, "Alright, you'll find out sooner or later anyway. Since you've already refined your body with divine favor, telling you now doesn't matter." He paused and said, "The Star Marrow Pill is a miraculous medicine possessed only by powerful sects, capable of changing fate itself. The city lord saw your sister's talent, so when she entered the marshlands, he gave her a test, and the reward was the Star Marrow Pill." Chad Sullivan's voice was extremely grave as he said, "To obtain the Star Marrow Pill, Ziyuan braved great danger, faced peril time and again, and nearly lost her life in the marshlands."

Logan Bennett was dumbfounded. Although he had long had a premonition, he had never imagined that this item would be so rare and hard to obtain.

Chad Sullivan fixed his gaze on Logan Bennett and said, enunciating each word, "Logan, your sister risked her life and fought hard so that you could cultivate. If you achieve anything in the future, you must never let her down."

Logan Bennett stood there in a daze for a long while before finally coming to his senses. He said nothing, but bowed deeply to Chad Sullivan.

Chad Sullivan smiled in satisfaction and turned to leave.

Once again, only Logan Bennett was left in the room.

He was silent for a long time, but his emotions were so stirred that he couldn't calm down at all.

Violet Bennett had gone to the deadly marshlands and was out of contact for a full six months. During that time, the original owner of this body cried every day, living in constant fear, his spirit nearly collapsing. It was precisely because of this that, after being beaten up, he was so easily taken over by Logan Bennett.

At first, he thought Violet Bennett had been reckless and impulsive, which was why she ended up in such danger.

But now he finally understood Violet Bennett's painstaking efforts. It turned out she had taken such risks just to obtain a Star Marrow Pill for him.

Unconsciously, his fists clenched tight, Logan Bennett's jaw was set, and his body trembled slightly.

With my sister treating me like this, how can I ever repay her?

I will take care of her for a lifetime, never letting her face any danger again.

At this moment, his own consciousness and the faint spiritual awareness of the body's original owner seemed to merge completely in an instant—a total fusion of spirit and flesh.

And right at that instant, Logan Bennett felt a subtle stirring in his heart. Suddenly, he sensed it.

In his sea of consciousness, the giant rat that had always lain there lazily and unmoving suddenly began to stir. As its body swayed, even the entire sea of consciousness seemed to start boiling.

An indescribable feeling surged into his heart. Although Logan Bennett didn't know why he felt this way, the sensation was so clear and certain.

He calmly stretched out his hand, and a faint white glow began to emerge from his palm.

The giant rat in his sea of consciousness seemed to be drawn by the glow, starting to drift toward his palm. But the journey was difficult; it seemed exhausted after only halfway, and the glow grew weaker and weaker, like a candle flickering in the wind, about to go out at any moment.

Logan Bennett's eyes widened, and a phrase echoed in his mind:
