In other words, once Skyler had dissipated and rebuilt his cultivation this time, breaking through to the Heavenly Realm would be no trouble at all, so what need did he have for the Leonards to groom him?
“You…” Israel was seized by a wave of frustration.
“All right, all right.” Skyler sounded a little impatient. “Look, whatever the case, I’ll agree to give that Jennifer a pointer or two. That should be enough, right?”
Israel knew this sort of thing couldn’t be forced, so he had no choice but to agree for the time being.
At the same moment, in the Yount Residence main hall.
Everyone was staring at Seamus with envy written all over their faces, because that was a Saint Realm weapon, the kind you could count on one hand in all of Southmere.
Forget getting to hold one-most of the people present hadn’t so much as laid eyes on one before.
Yet at this moment, Seamus not only got to own one-he even got to name a Saint Realm
weapon.
It wasn’t just the crowd of guests-because even Connor and Alice wore the look of people basking in the shared glory.
Seamus stroked the gleaming silver spear before him, unable to take his hands off it, and said slowly, “This spear was forged from the Silverwyrm’s spine, so how about we call it the Silver Dragon Spear?”
Jennifer, her features picture-perfect, nodded with a smile. “Since you’re the one naming it, any name will do, as long as you like it.”
Seamus met Jennifer’s gaze and felt as if a jolt of electricity ran through him, unable to shake the sense that there was something spellbinding in her eyes.
Could it be that Jennifer had feelings for him and was deliberately trying to seduce him?
Jennifer was the eldest daughter of the Leonards, and if he could tie the knot with her, he’d have the full backing of the entire Leonards of Imperia.

By then, he’d have truly stepped into the highest echelon of this world.

Forcing down his inner excitement, Seamus shook his head, making a show of it. “That name is too ordinary. It doesn’t suit me.
“My goal is to become a Saint Realm expert, and the might of the Saint Realm is beyond rival. My ambition is to wipe out every demonic beast in the world, and the strongest race among the demonic beasts is the dragon. Legend has it that the fallen Demon King is a demon dragon itself.”
As Seamus spoke, he secretly watched Jennifer’s expression.
Jennifer put on an admiring look at just the right moment, though inwardly she was frowning to herself.
Wasn’t Seamus already an expert at the peak of the Saint Realm, a half step from the Heavenly Realm? So why was he now saying his goal was to become a Saint Realm expert?
Seamus naturally had no idea what Jennifer was thinking, and seeing her expression, his spirits lifted.
He went on, “So the name of this spear will be the Saint’s Might Dragonsbane Spear. It means using the might of the Saint Realm to suppress the demon dragons of the world.”
“Excellent!” As Seamus’s words fell, the crowd all around showered him with praise. “Setting the Saint Realm as his goal and taking the wiping out of all demonic beasts as his ambition, Seamus truly is a prodigy of his generation.”
“Indeed, and the name Saint’s Might Dragonsbane Spear is a fine choice too. It rings with authority, and it’s sure to shake the whole world someday right alongside Seamus.”
Connor and Alice were very pleased with the name as well.
Jennifer gave a slight nod, but right at that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone to look, and to her surprise, it was Israel calling.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jennifer answered right away, and Israel’s voice came through. “Jennifer, Seamus wants you to deliver that spear to the Webbs.”
“Seamus?” Jennifer looked with some surprise at the Seamus standing in front of her, his face full of excitement.
“That’s right, I just got off the phone with him, so hurry along now,” Israel said.

Though Jennifer was a bit puzzled, she didn’t press with questions and simply nodded in agreement. “Understood.”
The moment she hung up, Connor warmly invited her, “Ms. Leonard, you’ve gone to such trouble delivering the spear. Please, take a seat.”
Seamus, too, gripped the spear’s shaft, unwilling to let go. “Yes, yes, Jennifer, come have a seat. I’ll take you over, right to the spot next to mine.”
He was thrilled beyond measure inside, because today had brought him so much prestige, and Jennifer’s arrival had made him look like the biggest deal in the room.
What’s more, now that he had a Saint Realm spear in hand and the Leonards showing him goodwill, it was hard to see how Skyler could ever measure up to him.
But right at that moment, Jennifer suddenly reached out and snatched the Saint Realm spear back out of Seamus’s hands.
Before Connor, Seamus, and the others could even figure out what was going on, they saw Jennifer turn and head for the door.
She left behind only a single offhand remark. “Sorry, I delivered it to the wrong person.”
Screech!
Every sound in the hall cut off at once, and in an instant it went so quiet you could’ve heard a pin drop.
Traces of awkwardness and confusion lingered on every face.
What did Jennifer mean? The wrong person? Then who was that Saint Realm spear of hers meant for?
For Seamus especially, the excitement all over his face froze solid, and he couldn’t stop the corner of his mouth from twitching.
Just moments ago he’d been dreaming of a limitless future, and now Jennifer had suddenly told him she’d delivered it to the wrong person, so where was he supposed to hide his face?
After a moment, it was Connor who recovered first, saying with a smile, “A Saint Realm weapon really would be wasted on a junior at the Innate Realm. That drop of Dragon Essence, on the other hand, is just right for Seamie once it’s diluted.”
Only then did everyone catch on, because although Jennifer had taken the Saint Realm spear away, the Dragon Essence she’d given Connor hadn’t been taken back.

And that meant the Leonards still thought very highly of Seamus.

Seamus’s expression eased a little as well, because that drop of Dragon Essence was completely undiluted.
Hadn’t Skyler gotten a drop of Dragon Essence diluted ten thousand times from Raymond?
Once his own drop of Dragon Essence was diluted ten thousand times, he’d have ten thousand times the amount Skyler had, and surpassing Skyler would be a matter of mere minutes.
As for a Saint Realm weapon, as long as the Leonards had faith in him, once he’d grown into his own, they’d surely gift him another one.
