Everyone had different levels of cultivation and physical constitutions, so the amount of medicinal food they could absorb varied. Overeating could cause their bodies to be overwhelmed by the surging energy.
“Yes, Sect Master,” Holden, Aimee, Theodore, Jennifer, and the elite disciples responded loudly.
With that, everyone began to eat.
As the delicious medicinal food entered their mouths, their faces started to glow with a red hue, an external sign of the abundant energy entering their bodies.
“This is so delicious!”
“I have never tasted anything so good.”
“I can feel a surge of energy entering my body…”
While eating the medicinal food, everyone excitedly shared their feelings.
Once the food entered their stomachs, a warm sensation spread from within, and a scorching energy began to diffuse throughout their bodies.
Holden was the first to put down his cutlery, feeling the energy in his abdomen. He immediately sat down cross-legged.
Next, Jennifer, Aimee, Theodore, and others also sat down to cultivate and break through using the power of the medicinal food.
Serene finished all the food on her plate and sat down cross-legged. Her old face turned extremely red, and large beads of sweat dripped from her forehead as white vapor continuously emanated from her body.
“Leo, look at Serene…” Violet pointed at Serene with some concern.
Leo had already noticed Serene’s condition and frowned slightly.
Serene had eaten too much, and the surging energy in the medicinal food was too much for her to handle.
Leo quickly moved in front of Serene and released a strand of spiritual power into her body to help her digest the medicinal food and control the release of energy.
Soon, three more disciples were unable to withstand the terrifying energy. Leo used his spiritual power to help guide their digestion one by one.
When everyone’s faces were flushed but showed no signs of being overwhelmed, Leo finally stopped.
“Violet, aren’t you going to eat?” Leo asked with a smile.
“I want to eat with you!” Violet giggled, her pretty face showing a mischievous expression.
Leo prepared himself a large portion of medicinal food and said with a smile, “Then let’s eat together.”
With that, Leo and Violet began to enjoy the delicious food together.
After consuming a large portion of Croc Pot, Leo felt an astonishingly immense energy spreading within his body.
Leo’s face immediately turned red, and heat rose from his entire body.
“What incredible energy,” Leo thought with delight.
Leo estimated that he should be able to use the Croc Pot to break through to the upper-level Spirit King realm.
Leo consumed another large portion of Croc Pot.
Beside him, Violet’s face turned red after finishing her medicinal food.
Then, Leo and Violet sat cross-legged and began to cultivate, digesting the medicinal food they had consumed.
In Martial Arts Square, everyone sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
As night gradually fell, a crescent moon rose into the sky, shining down on the square and the people sitting cross-legged.
Everyone’s breathing was steady, their eyes closed as they practiced their cultivation techniques. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered towards them.
Suddenly, a faint golden light burst from Holden’s body as he broke through his cultivation level!
Next were Jennifer, Aimee, Theodore, Serene, and other elite disciples…
On Leo’s side, starlight flickered around him while fiery red light burst from Violet’s body.
Under Holden’s gaze, more and more fiery red light gathered around Violet as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into her like a small tornado.
Violet’s aura rapidly increased…
A few minutes later, the fiery red light around Violet became even more dazzling…
Another minute later, Violet opened her eyes slightly. She had successfully broken through to the lower-level Spirit Master realm.
The successful breakthrough brought a joyful expression to Violet’s pretty face.
Violet looked at Leo and saw starlight bursting from his body as his aura grew stronger.
At this moment, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped outside the Seven Stars Sect’s mountain gate.
Two people got out of the car: Abel and his bodyguard Iron Tower.
The disciples guarding the mountain knew Abel’s identity and had seen him here before, so they let them in without question.
After asking about Leo’s whereabouts, Abel and Iron Tower headed towards Martial Arts Square.
Upon arriving at Martial Arts Square and seeing so many people gathered with a rich aroma wafting through the air, Abel was somewhat surprised.
Jennifer approached with a smile and asked, “Mr. Wells, why are you here so late?”
“I have some matters to discuss with Leo,” Abel said directly.
At Abel’s signal, Iron Tower handed a tablet to Jennifer.
Jennifer took the tablet while Violet, Holden, Aimee, and others curiously gathered around.
Jennifer tapped the screen and pressed play.
The first video showed Leo freezing something.
As the video played, Abel said, “Leo prevented a tsunami from devastating coastal cities on his own. The higher-ups asked me to express their gratitude.”
“The second video shows footage taken by a research vessel near a spatial rift in West Sea.”
Jennifer played the second video.
When they saw a giant fiery red tiger emerging from the rift along with an elderly woman in white, their expressions changed.
The ensuing battle between the giant tiger and the elderly woman left them all in shock.
The video ended when the massive energy from their battle destroyed the ship.
Abel continued, “That giant fiery red tiger and the elderly woman came from another world connected by the spatial rift-a world completely different from Earth.”
After everything settled down, WONDER conducted an investigation around the spatial rift.
Based on WONDER’s analysis, it seemed that both the elderly woman and the giant tiger perished in their battle. However, the true situation remained unknown, which was a significant concern for WONDER and the higher-ups.
In the face of such overwhelming destructive power, everything on Earth seemed fragile.
Throughout human history, higher civilizations have rarely treated lower civilizations kindly. Therefore, precautions must be taken regarding the world connected by the spatial rift.
Jennifer returned the tablet to Iron Tower and said to Abel, “Mr. Wells, Leo consumed medicinal food and is currently breaking through his cultivation.”
Abel looked at Leo sitting motionless on the ground. His eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded. “Then I’ll wait here for him to finish.”
