“Everyone, that spatial rift must connect to another world. The people from that world are incredibly powerful!”
“If someone from that world enters Earth through the spatial rift, Atraria will be the first to face the threat. This is extremely dangerous, and we must prepare in advance.”
The highest-ranking leader, seated at the head, spoke with a grave expression.
Everyone present nodded, acknowledging the leader’s words.
The spatial rift was located above the West Sea, making it closest to Atraria compared to other countries.
If monsters or humans emerged from the rift, Atraria would likely be the first to face danger.
“Just now, Adrian from the United States called, suggesting we consult the master of the Seven Stars Sect. He might have knowledge about that world,” the leader said, casting a deep gaze at Beau Steele and Abel.
“Mr. Steele, he is also one of your WONDER members. Please handle this matter carefully. Remember, do not provoke him.”
The leader was well aware of Leo’s actions both domestically and internationally. It was no exaggeration to say that Leo now played a crucial role for both Atraria and the entire world.
“Rest assured, we will consult him. As a member of WONDER, he will surely share what he knows with us. As long as the spatial rift remains, we should prepare in advance,” Beau Steele replied.
At that moment, within the Seven Stars Sect.
In the Martial Arts Square stood a massive copper pot.
Leo stood before the pot, channeling his spiritual power into a strong true fire that burned beneath it.
In front of him floated over a dozen glowing spiritual herbs.
Inside the pot, a rich aroma of medicinal herbs and fruits wafted out.
The scent alone was invigorating.
Nearby, Violet, Holden, Aimee, Jennifer, and others watched with enraptured expressions.
It was their first time seeing Leo so serious, adding so many spiritual fruits and herbs before even adding any meat.
After the initial simmering, Leo summoned a tiger demon bone from his Storage Sack.
As soon as the Tiger Demon Bone Formula appeared, Holden, Aimee, and the others felt a powerful aura emanate from it.
The aura made their hearts tighten involuntarily.
They all focused on the bone in Leo’s hand with amazement.
Leo placed the tiger demon bone into the large copper pot.
“Add all the Thunderclap Croc meat into the pot,” Leo instructed.
The elite disciples of the Seven Stars Sect poured a large portion of Thunderclap Croc meat into the pot.
Ten minutes later, under continuous heating by true fire, steam bubbles rose from the pot, releasing a rich and enticing aroma that spread across the Martial Arts Square.
The alluring scent of meat mixed with hints of fruit and medicinal herbs made everyone’s mouths water.
“Leo, it smells amazing,” Violet said, her beautiful eyes filled with delight.
She had eaten Croc Pot before, but this time it was even more enticing.
Nearby, Theodore, Serene, Ellis, and others were almost drooling.
Leo smiled and said, “It will be ready in an hour.”
“Great! I can’t wait,” Violet said eagerly.
“We’re in for a treat today,” Holden said with joy.
“Before we eat, I have an announcement,” Leo said loudly to everyone.
The Martial Arts Square fell silent as everyone looked at Leo.
“From today on, Seven Stars Sect will be renamed Seven Stars Sect. Jennifer will become the sect leader while I remain honorary sect leader. Any objections?”
The elite disciples responded in unison, “No objections, Honorary Sect Leader!”
“Mr. Bloomer, we have something to say,” Serene spoke up suddenly.
Leo looked at Serene. “Serene, please speak.”
Serene said loudly, “Iron Sword Sect wishes to merge with Seven Stars Sect!”
Serene’s decision surprised Leo. He instinctively looked at Theodore, the sect leader of Iron Sword Sect.
Theodore met Leo’s gaze and said, “Serene’s decision is also mine and the elders’. We hope Seven Stars Sect will accept Iron Sword Sect’s merger.”
In fact, Theodore and others had long considered merging with Seven Stars Sect. Besides Leo being worth following, Seven Stars Sect was highly beneficial for cultivation.
Therefore, they had stayed at Seven Stars Sect for training instead of returning to their own sect.
Leo thought for a moment and said, “If Iron Sword Sect wishes to merge, Seven Stars Sect welcomes it. However, Theodore, you may have to accept being vice sect leader.”
“No problem. Even if I become an ordinary disciple, I have no objections,” Theodore said frankly.
“Alright then. Theodore will be vice sect leader. The elders of Iron Sword Sect will become elders of Seven Stars Sect,” Leo decided.
“Leo, we want to join Seven Stars Sect too!” Violet quickly said.
Holden, Aimee, and others also expressed their desire to join Seven Stars Sect.
Leo had no objections to this; it was about uniting all possible forces.
An hour later, on the square, the rich aroma from the large copper pot became even more intense and mouth-watering.
With a wave of his hand, Leo opened the pot lid. The meat inside was fully cooked and emitted a red glow; the medicinal dish was ready to eat.
“You can start eating now. Afterward, train on-site. Many of you should be able to break through,” Leo said.
His words excited everyone in the Martial Arts Square as they looked at the large copper pot with anticipation and excitement on their faces.
The rich aroma continuously stimulated their taste buds; many couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
With a thought, Leo used his spiritual power to distribute pieces of crocodile meat from the pot into individual plates.
The surface of the crocodile meat had a faint blood-gold color due to the energy infused from the tiger demon bone during cooking.
After filling each plate, Leo continued, “You can start eating now. Although delicious, this dish contains energy that not everyone can handle. Eat according to your capacity; don’t overindulge.”
This Croc Pot was extraordinary due to its ingredients: numerous spiritual fruits and herbs and a tiger demon bone from another world.
