Leo spent the next following days cope up inside the cultivation room, trying his very best to shape his Star into the Ferocious Lion's Wrath form.
There were times when he had trouble shaping the form of the Mana to fit it perfectly with what he wanted, but as he keeps on trying and trying, in the end, he was able to eventually succeed in making the perfect form.
Every night he would rest inside the cultivation room in order for him to recuperate the energy and stamina that he had used up from the entire day of cultivation. And the moment he wakes up in the morning, he will continue with shaping the Ferocious Lion's Wrath form once again.
Of course, he was still eating three times a day. The food was being delivered on time by Angel who is feeling so annoyed by the fact that she can't disturb him, causing her to waste all of the opportunity of having him for herself only. Her plan was completely ruined by this sudden closed-door cultivation of Leo.
This repetitive routine continued on even after Cassandra and the others finally returned back to the Smiling Lion Village, bringing with them the good news of successfully capturing the Beast Lord Vineyard Dragon.
All the members decided to go home and rest, except for Ethan who quickly went to find Leo. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to find him, so he went to find Angel instead.
It didn't take Ethan that long to find Angel who was playing with some infant Yellow Skinned Anacondas in the Magical Beasts Center.
"Where's Leo?" Ethan quickly asked Angel about Leo. He really needed to find Leo right now so that he can choose what they will be exchanging the Beast Lord Vineyard Dragon from the Evergreen royal family.
"Same as usual, he's still in his closed-door cultivation," Angel replied before letting out a sigh of resignation. The moment she saw the return of the Mischievous Lion Guild Flyingboat Fleet, she finally decided to just forget about her plan of tempting and teasing Leo. There's no use about to that anymore since she can't solo Leo with the presence of Cassandra and the others.
"He's in closed-door cultivation?! Then who's taking care of all the workloads of the Mischievous Lion Guild?" Ethan anxiously asked. He could already expect that he and his wife Elaine would definitely be the ones to handle all those workloads that Leo had left behind. At the beginning of the Mischievous Lion Guild, this was also his responsibility.
"Who else?" Angel pointed towards Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale who could be seen running frantically from one place to another along with their respective men.
"Thank goodness," Ethan can't help but heave a sigh of relief knowing that Elvis and the others were taking care of the workloads of the Mischievous Lion Guild. He quickly changed the topic as he asked, "Anyways, do you have any sort of idea what Leo would want to exchange?"
"If it was before, then I would definitely know what he would likely want," Angel said before shaking her head.
"Eh? Did something happened while we were gone?" Ethan curiously asked.
"Sort of..." Angel said while hesitating how she should explain what had happened in the Mischievous Lion Guild while the others were away to Ethan in a way that will not make him feel disbelief or something. After thinking for a few tens of seconds, she finally decided to just give up and describe everything exactly as what had happened. Anyways, no matter how she would downside it, the story would still be the same, specifically, the Mischievous Lion Guild and the Evergreen royal family has a really close relationship now.
Listening to Angel's story, Ethan's face slowly turned from merely being surprised, to shocked, then lastly to feeling disbelief.
"But how?!" Ethan really can't believe everything that Angel had said. But knowing her, she obviously wouldn't make such a lie. After all, she won't be getting any kind of things from him with her lie.
"Apparently, Leo's father was one of the close friends of Uncle Elfin. In fact, even your father was also one of Uncle Elfin's close friends," Angel replied.
"Eh? My father is also one of King Elfin the Fourth's close friends? Why didn't I hear any of this in the past?" Ethan instantly felt shocked hearing such an unexpected revelation from Angel. In the next moment, he quickly asked, "Where's Leo? Take me to him... No, just tell me where he is, and I will go there by myself. I want to know everything!"
"Sorry, but he is currently in the middle of very important cultivation. And besides, you can still ask him later after he's finished, it is not yet too late to ask him at that time," Angel said to persuade Ethan to not disturb Leo.
"Indeed," Ethan nodded his head in understanding. He wasn't foolish enough to not know what is more important.
"Just exchange the Beast Lord Vineyard Dragon for things that you know will be able to help the development of the Mischievous Lion Guild," Angel advice before turning around to find Cassandra and the others. After being away from her sisters for many days, she naturally missed them already. She also wants to tell them how far she had gotten with Leo in order to make them feel even more jealous of her.
"Okay," Ethan nodded his head in affirmation before also leaving as he still needs to take care of the problem related to the Beast Lord Vineyard Dragon. With Angel's confirmation, there is no need for him to ask for Leo's opinion anymore. In fact, he doesn't even need to worry about what reaction he would get from Leo. If ever the things he had exchanged are not what Leo wanted, then he can't blame him since it was one of his women that told him to just choose whatever he deemed fit for the development of the Mischievous Lion Guild.
Meanwhile, inside one of the cultivation rooms located in the underground facility, Leo was still fully focused on shaping the image of the Ferocious Lion's Wrath form.
At this moment, he was now at the last part of the Ferocious Lion's Wrath form, specifically the mane. This was the most complicated part of this form because there are hundreds, or maybe even thousands of hairs on the mane of this Ferocious Lion's Wrath form. He needs to exactly replicate it so that he wouldn't accidentally cause himself trouble.
As for the other parts of the Ferocious Lion's Wrath form, it wasn't really that difficult, especially the eyes, the nose, the canine, whiskers, ears, and others, so he was able to easily replicate them perfectly on his Star. It only took him 3 days to complete all of that.
Amidst that, Leo's aura has become even more stronger and powerful. A vague image of the Ferocious Lion's Wrath form could also be seen behind him, slowly merging with his entire body and covering it with orange-colored light.
From time to time, a ferocious and full of wrath bellow of a lion could be heard in the entire underground facility, and it was getting louder and louder after every bellow as if the Ferocious Lion's Wrath Magic Combat Technique is making everyone know that Leo is close to completion.
Only Fate knows what would really be awaiting for Leo though after he finished shaping the Ferocious Lion's Wrath form in his Star. But base on the current scene right now, there's a very high possibility that he is compatible with the Ferocious Lion's Wrath Magic Combat Technique.
Days continued to pass quickly and the coming end of the Emerald Event is finally approaching close.
The top 100 of the Emerald Event is still changing in every passing time, but the position of the top 80 has long already stabilized and could hardly be replaced, this also includes the Mischievous Lion Guild in the position of the top three. And because of that, the competition to grab one of the places in the top 100 to 81 has become really intense.
It is so intense that the only difference of each spot was only ranging from a mere one point to a hundred points, which honestly speaking, should be something that one of those participants in the top 100 to 81 could easily earn.
In spite of that though, it seems like earning such a small amount of points was extremely difficult for them.
Evidently, the reason for this was because there were no longer any Magical Beasts to be found in the range of one hundred kilometers distance from the Emerald Tree Kingdom.
Which is to say, if a participant wants to catch more Magical Beasts in order to earn more points in the Emerald Event, then they would have to cross such a far distance to capture them and then cross that distance once again in order to return and exchange the Magical Beasts that they have captured for points.
Aside from doing that, they were also scavenging hard for participants who are willing to sell their points, offering them a much more higher price than what their competitors could offer to them.
This resulted in the price of points in the Emerald Event rising in value. If in the past rare Magical resources could be exchanged for hundreds of points or even thousands, depending on the quality, but now it could only be exchanged for tens of points with the highest merely being hundreds of points. And there's still the problem of whether one would really accept to exchange for points or not.
That was the main reason why the spots of the majority of the participants in the top 100 had already stabilized because the gap in points could hardly be earned at this point in time.
However, unbeknownst to everyone in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, this was actually just the calm before the storm.
At this moment, all the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild and the officers with considerably high status were gathered together inside the meeting room.
The seat of the Guild Leader was still empty because Leo has not finished with his closed-door cultivation yet. So, Ethan has become the person in charge of everything along with all of Leo's women.
"Begin dispatching every member of the Mischievous Lion Guild who has nothing to do and start selling all of our points!" Ethan announced to all the Executives and officers of the Mischievous Lion Guild. With a mischievous smile on his face, he said, "It is time to let everyone in the Emerald Tree Kingdom know why we are called the Mischievous Lion Guild!"
A few of the Executives and all the officers immediately nodded their heads before quickly leaving the meeting room to inform all the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild about the plan.
