Chapter 310: Fame That Shook the Gathering

Fame That Shook the Gathering

One had to understand just how extraordinary a supreme treasure truly was.

Treasures of that rank stood on the threshold of legend, comparable to the divine relics spoken of in ancient tales. If such a treasure couldn’t even eliminate a pinnacle Realm cultivator, then it would hardly deserve to be called a supreme treasure.

Simply possessing one was enough to change the outcome of countless battles.

Anna knew this better than anyone.

A gentle smile unknowingly spread across her face.

Today was, without question, the happiest day of her life.

Not only had she obtained a supreme treasure of unimaginable value, but she had also found someone willing to cherish and respect her.

Although their relationship was only temporary for now, Leon had treated her with a sincerity she had never experienced before.

She didn’t doubt his feelings in the slightest.

After all...

Who in the world would casually give away six supreme treasures?

Even the oldest and wealthiest experts would hesitate before parting with a single one.

Yet Leon had done so without a trace of reluctance.

That alone spoke louder than any confession.

The thought made the warmth in Anna’s heart grow even stronger.

She quietly looked toward Leon.

Her gaze lingered on his calm profile.

Meanwhile, Leon wasn’t paying attention to the whispers surrounding him.

Instead, his eyes rested upon the distant Inferno Swift Bird and the countless cultivators still standing in stunned silence.

The battle had ended long ago.

Yet the shock it left behind had only continued to grow.

Moments earlier...

Leon had used the Thunder Floral Pins to instantly erase Daoist Vartak from existence.

The overwhelming display of power had left everyone speechless.

Even now, many people still hadn’t fully recovered from what they had witnessed.

After what seemed like an eternity, quiet murmurs finally began spreading throughout the crowd.

Expressions of disbelief filled every face.

One elderly cultivator stared blankly at the place where Daoist Vartak had perished.

"Unbelievable..."

"Daoist Vartak’s Supreme Body couldn’t even withstand those tiny needles. He was blown apart instantly, and even his soul disappeared."

Another person slowly nodded, still unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

"From today onward..."

"Both Celestis Academy and Leon’s name will surely echo throughout the world."

The surrounding cultivators instinctively looked toward Leon again.

This time...

There was no contempt.

No doubt.

Only deep caution and lingering fear.

Many secretly felt fortunate.

Fortunately...

None of them had acted recklessly earlier.

If they had been the ones to provoke Leon instead of Daoist Vartak...

They probably wouldn’t have survived long enough to regret it.

The Thunder Floral Pins had already become a nightmare in everyone’s minds.

At that moment, someone suddenly noticed the six silver needles now resting with Anna.

His eyes widened immediately.

"Did you see that?"

"He actually gave that girl Anna several Thunder Floral Pins!"

His voice carried obvious envy.

"This guy is really willing to part with such priceless treasures."

Another cultivator sighed dramatically.

"I’m so jealous."

"I only regret that I wasn’t born a woman. Otherwise... maybe I’d have had the same chance."

The moment those words were spoken, countless strange looks landed on him.

Someone rolled his eyes.

Another nearly burst into laughter.

"You’re hopeless."

The crowd immediately broke into lively discussion.

Their attention quickly shifted from Leon’s terrifying strength to his astonishing generosity.

Six supreme treasures...

Just like that...

Given away.

Everyone found it difficult to believe.

One old cultivator couldn’t help shaking his head.

"How wealthy is he?"

"To use treasures like these simply to pursue the woman he likes..."

Another elder sighed dramatically.

"If he gave me two of those Thunder Floral Pins..."

"I’d happily introduce my granddaughter to him."

The surrounding crowd immediately burst into laughter.

Although the remark was made jokingly, everyone understood one thing.

Leon wasn’t simply powerful.

His wealth was equally astonishing.

After some time had passed, an elderly man slowly stepped out from the crowd.

He wore simple robes, but his calm bearing immediately distinguished him from ordinary cultivators.

His white beard swayed gently as he smiled warmly.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist."

"My name is Eldric Northwind, from the Divine Capital of the Scarlet Moon Domain."

"It’s a pleasure to meet you. Truly a pleasure."

With a friendly smile, Eldric Northwind cupped his fists and approached Leon.

Leon returned the greeting with equal courtesy.

"Fellow Daoist Eldric Northwind, it’s a pleasure to meet you as well."

The old man stroked his neatly trimmed goatee before continuing.

"Just now, Fellow Daoist used only twelve Thunder Floral Pins to eliminate one of the greatest scourges of the Empyrean Immortal Domain."

"The sight truly left everyone present speechless."

"Your cultivation is unfathomable."

"I sincerely admire it."

Leon merely smiled.

There wasn’t even the slightest trace of arrogance in his expression.

"Haha, you flatter me."

"How could my insignificant cultivation compare with yours?"

His humble reply surprised everyone present.

Many cultivators secretly nodded with admiration.

Someone possessing such overwhelming strength should have been proud beyond measure.

Yet Leon remained calm and courteous.

Not even victory had changed his attitude.

Anna quietly watched everything from beside him.

A faint smile appeared on her face.

He’s clearly so powerful...

Yet he never looks down on anyone.

His heart is as admirable as his strength.

The more she understood Leon, the greater her admiration became.

Across from them, Eldric Northwind’s eyes flashed with surprise.

He carefully studied Leon before glancing toward Anna.

One possessed extraordinary talent.

The other possessed equally astonishing potential.

Both belonged to Celestis Academy.

Seeing those two standing together, a thought naturally surfaced in his heart.

Celestis Academy’s fortune has truly reached its peak.

With geniuses like these appearing together...

Their rise seems inevitable.

The old man quietly sighed.

If only...

If only our own inheritance could produce a talent like him...
