“Ha ha ha, I also broke through!”
“I’ve reached the upper-tier martial artist realm!”
“I feel like I’m about to break through too. This alligator concoction is truly miraculous!”
Excited voices filled the air as many of the Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples experienced breakthroughs. Those who hadn’t yet broken through were busy digesting their food, and by the end, not a drop of the broth from the four large pots or a scrap of meat from the two roasted alligators remained.
Under Leo’s guidance, Curitis, Roy, Clark, and Bard had all became low-level martial artists, while Franklin was on the verge of advancing to the next martial artist level.
“This alligator concoction is indeed remarkable,” Jennifer remarked as she noticed many Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples achieving breakthroughs. She couldn’t help but feel less repulsed by the idea of eating alligator meat.
“That’s how incredible it is,” Leo replied with a smile.
The Purple Thunder Spirit Alligator itself was a semi-spiritual beast, and its flesh contained abundant spiritual energy. Leo had further enhanced its effects by adding precious herbs, which had helped boost their cultivation and achieve breakthroughs.
“It’s just as effective as the White Jade Turtle. However, White Jade Turtles are limited in number and are usually rewarded to disciples on the brink of a breakthrough or those who have made significant contributions to the sect. Normally, only the Sect Leader and Elders get to consume them,” she continued.
“In that case, there’s no need to eat those White Jade Turtles anymore. These alligator meats should suffice for a long time,” Leo suggested.
White Jade Armored Turtles were considered precious because they could enhance cultivation, but without the specific herbs used to create concoctions, it was a waste to consume them. Additionally, the White Jade Armored Turtle’s most valuable attribute was its ability to emit spiritual energy, which greatly accelerated cultivation progress.
Purple Thunder Spirit Alligators, on the other hand, had been killed by the dozens in the recent battle, providing Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples with a steady supply of meat. These alligators which were still alive also had strong breeding capabilities, ensuring a constant source of resources.
“I’ll instruct the disciples to stop catching White Jade Armored Turtles,” Jennifer agreed with Leo’s suggestion.
Back in the square, more and more disciples were breaking through, and the overall strength of Seven Stars Sword Sect had improved significantly in a short time.
“What are your plans for Seven Stars Sword Sect now?” Jennifer asked, looking at Leo.
Seven Stars Sword Sect was currently in disarray, with Jeff, Greg, and Giles having been defeated. In terms of the number of martial masters, they were now far behind other martial arts sects.
Leo pondered for a moment and said, “You should become the Sect Leader. When necessary, Seven Stars Sword Sect can follow my guidance.”
Jennifer held a special position within the sect, and she was the most suitable candidate for the role of Sect Leader. Jennifer’s status and capabilities made her the ideal choice.
Jennifer blinked her clear eyes and shook her head. “Actually, I’m not interested in the position of Sect Leader’s just that my master has nurtured me diligently, hoping that I would inherit the role of Seven Stars Sword Sect’s Sect Leader. I’ve been promising to do so.”
“You don’t want to be the Sect Leader?” Leo was surprised.
“Yes, expanding the influence of Seven Stars Sword Sect in the martial arts world has always been my master’s dream. Now, it seems that placing Seven Stars Sword Sect in your hands might be a better way to achieve that,” Jennifer said earnestly, glancing at the excited Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples gathered on the square.
In Jennifer’s eyes, Leo appeared mysterious and powerful at this moment. He had raised the disciples’ strength by a level with just a bit of alligator meat. Entrusting Seven Stars Sword Sect to Leo might indeed be the best choice.
“If you’re willing, then you should take up the position of Sect Leader. It will be easier for the disciples to accept you. I’ll be a honorary Sect Leader; it still means I’m a part of Seven Stars Sword Sect,” Leo considered for a moment and said.
If Jennifer wasn’t in the picture, Leo would naturally become the Sect Leader after taking over Seven Stars Sword Sect. However, with Jennifer around, Leo would have to involve himself in sect affairs, which he didn’t want to do.
“Honorary Sect Leader? You really can come up with anything, and you don’t want to be involved in anything, do you?” Jennifer gave Leo a playful look, feeling somewhat speechless.
Leo chuckled sheepishly, “Don’t worry; I’ll help the disciples of Seven Stars Sword Sect improve their cultivation and strength. If Seven Stars Sword Sect encounters any trouble, I won’t just stand by.”
“That’s right. My main focus isn’t on managing the sect. If there are any problems in the sect or if you need my help, I won’t stand idly by,” Leo replied.
Jennifer thought for a moment and then nodded, accepting Leo’s proposal. An hour later, a simple ceremony was held to officially install Jennifer as the new Sect Leader.
In the Seven Stars Sword Sect’s training square, over a hundred disciples stood in formation, looking at Jennifer and Leo in front of them.
“Disciples, I’m going to make an announcement. Mr. Bloomer will be named the Honorary Sect Leader of Seven Stars Sword Sect, with a status equivalent to mine,” Jennifer declared.
The disciples’ gazes fell on Leo, and they didn’t seem to have any objections to the appointment of the Honorary Sect Leader. Leo’s strength was widely recognized, and many of them had personally experienced the benefits of his alligator concoction, which had helped them break through.
“Honorary Sect Leader!” the disciples shouted in unison.
With the subsequent affairs of Seven Stars Sword Sect settled, Leo and his group returned to the city.
Leo had a good sense of timing. By returning now, he would be able to pick up Sophia after her work.
In the office of Breeze Cosmetics.
“Sophia has moved into the Cloud Dream Mountain villa area now, and her collaboration with Herbal Magic Cosmetics Company is going smoothly. It’s really infuriating,” Sean expressed his frustration.
“Dad, you have to come up with a way to suppress Sophia. Otherwise, we’ll have to bow down to her in the future!” Bruno said indignantly.
Sean sighed; he also wished for a solution, but the current situation seemed to offer no viable options. Even the old Mrs. Henley remained silent, and no one could overturn it.
