Sunlight filtered through the paper windows, painting pale golden lines across the floor. Dust motes drifted slowly through the light like tiny floating stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon stood still for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar mechanical voice echoed immediately in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You imparted one thousand years of cultivation to your student, triggering a Critical Hit Return.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Activate?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s lips slowly curled upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That expression—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>half calm, half sly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Activate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint of anticipation flashed in his purple eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, the room felt strangely quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You triggered a one

slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A hundred thousand years!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment even he couldn’t maintain his usual calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... good, good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad at all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A laugh escaped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mood instantly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a farmer harvesting an absurdly rich crop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So much wool from one sheep...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t raise this student for nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few days earlier, Leon had already broken through to the mid-stage Sage Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this hundred thousand years of cultivation, he should at least reach the late-stage Sage Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking into the Pinnacle Realm was still unrealistic for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon understood his own limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation wasn’t just about power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It required mental state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he advanced too quickly, his foundation could collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that would ruin everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon shook his head lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s not dream too far ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched his shoulders slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sat cross-legged on the

like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his words fell—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying torrent of energy exploded into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a ferocious ancient beast crashing into his meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F*ck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon couldn’t stop himself from shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had prepared mentally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This impact was brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundred thousand years of cultivation surged through his meridians instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His veins expanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steam seemed to rise from his body as if countless ants were crawling beneath his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon clenched his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suppress...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light suddenly erupted from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mysterious rune appeared over his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prime Dragon Bone Rune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its golden power spread through his body like blazing sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violent energy gradually began to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon immediately seized the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He circulated the Purple Mist Mana Sutra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His meridians opened wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absorbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Condensing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying power was gradually drawn into his spiritual core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Day turned into night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night returned to morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon remained inside his room without moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the bamboo leaves swayed gently in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days passed in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon slowly exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft breath escaped his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of golden light exploded from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura that spread from his room was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding air trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bamboo forest outside rustled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of a late-stage Sage Realm cultivator filled the entire area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils looked deeper than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint immortal aura surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His temperament had changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now only one step away from the Pinnacle Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legendary realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his mental state caught up—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation would reach its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his strength would stand on equal footing with Mike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to step into the Pinnacle Realm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to comprehend the Principal deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to form his second Principal Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon rubbed his chin thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There might be a shortcut...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it required extremely rare treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal-grade pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal medicines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had none of those.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching late-stage Sage Realm in such a short time was already incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon stood up slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His joints cracked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How comfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several days of cultivation, his body felt refreshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright sunlight poured into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery was peaceful and beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training hall on the northern side of the mountain had almost been completely rebuilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon could see workers moving materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry Taylor had been supervising the construction these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The repairs were progressing quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon watched for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taylor family had spared no expense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever materials were needed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They provided them immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money meant nothing to them if it pleased Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon felt quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taylor family had now fallen under his protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon wouldn’t casually promise protection to any family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had the strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking into the Pinnacle Realm was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Protecting a small mortal household was trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And honestly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon folded his arms behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most division leaders within Celestis Academy had powerful families supporting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their students came from those families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those connections ensured endless resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Amethyst Summit Division had always been poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain had been nearly empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won’t work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the future of Amethyst Summit Division...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have to build relationships with mortal
