As Cheon Jeong turned to Leo and Yeon, Cheon Chang's figure appeared once more. Although the chaos hadn't completely settled, his return ant that the most troubleso phase had already been dealt with.
"Do you want to do it here?"
The Blade Spirit's words sounded strange at the start, but after exchanging glances with both her and Yeon… Leo ca to an understanding about the illogical state that his Personal book was in.
'So…'

Reaching the peak of his current stage was sothing that Leo had achieved with relative ease under Cheon Chang's crash course that lasted over a year or so. As always, however, he was stuck once he reached the peak. To make it worse, the bottleneck he faced was one at multiple venues!
Peak Martial Artists, Masters, True Martial Artists, Sect Founders… Although there were all kinds of nas and indications that were attached to the title of the next stage that Leo was hoping to achieve, all of them were extrely grand to pinpoint the significance of reaching that state!
Whether it was standing at the top of the common Martial Artists, having the qualification to teach others and correct their wrongs, or even starting a personal sect, all of that was truly plausible once one reached the Peak Stage, but the road leading to that peak was extrely steep!
Just attaining the level of martial arts achievent required was already a tough hurdle, but in addition, one's Internal Energy had to cross a certain threshold to achieve true advancent! The situation that Leo was currently facing was sothing related to that!
'I experienced the sa thing?'
It wasn't like the level-crossing battle with the gargoyle was an event that was only prepared for the protagonist's benefit. As a secondary main character herself, the battle was also a blessing in disguise for Yeon. It wasn't as exaggerated as a direct breakthrough in battle like that of Geochin, but she managed to achieve an incomplete breakthrough, taking a firm step towards the Peak stage!
The only way Leo could explain the additional point as well as Cheon Jeong's words was that he had similarly obtained the sa benefit. At the very last minute in battle, he vaguely rembered an internal phenonon that was quite similar to the breakthrough one. It was only that it stopped too quickly for him to consider it as anything other than a counter-reaction to the constant drain…
'Why?'
Leo was elated to have taken this unknown step miles ahead of schedule, but he couldn't help questioning the reason behind it. Was he just sharing Yeon's luck or taking over the protagonist's? Or did he miss sothing else?
So far, other than working hard on Internal Energy Circulation, every step that he took was defined by a certain achievent. This ti, however, things were different. Was battle achievent also considered an advancent or…
'Is it pointing towards the path that I chose?'
Were the first two breakthroughs achieved single-handedly through spearmanship elevation considered as setting up the foundation for it? Leo instinctively felt that his sword-spear unity path was the one worthy of the world's recognition as he took more steps forward!
"Hm?"
Amid the endless stream of realization that he was going through, Cheon Jeong's mischievous smile grew closer as she awaited his decision. Rather than accepting the fact that the Righteous Faction's people had taken a step back in humiliation, she wanted to taunt them even more.
All attention was brought to the bottle of Snow Blossom Pills in Yeon's grasp. Exactly knowing what Cheon Jeong had in mind, even Leo who sought preliminary discord wasn't sure about such a direct provocation…
'Is that not too much?'
The Blade Spirit wanted them to complete their breakthrough right under the Righteous Faction's noses using the sa resources that they had given them! If her aggressive tone before could be considered rightful, then she was now completely crossing that boundary.
