You are all my wings!

"Then I will praise you now."

"No... Ah! Ugh... I hate it!"

"Do you hate it? I think you like it quite a bit."

"I mean, don't be like that... ahh..."

"I haven't even made my move yet."

"Huh, is there any more?"

"It seems that what Lord Hamra taught you was not complete. Let me teach you a more comprehensive one."

"Um……"

……

"what?"

Three hundred words have been deleted here.

……

"Waaaaah... I need to calm down."

"Haha, Iris, you'll need to practice your combat skills more starting tomorrow."

"Ok."

Iris nestled against Lyon.

She looked confused.

"How amazing."

……

Iris rolled over to hug Leon, her face full of anticipation.

"Leon, let's do it again."

"Hey, weren't you just acting like you were about to die?"

"I wasn't prepared just now, but I'm back to normal now!"

"Well, I'd love to see you at your peak!"

"Hmph, who's afraid of who! I already know a lot!"

"Then I'll go?"

"Wow, it's progressed this quickly?"

"So what do you want? Up or down?"

"Ugh, I hate it!"

"Your soft ear tips are so cute."

"Ah, no... Huff... I think I hear the world echoing, am I about to advance?"

That's the sound of your heartbeat.

"I see."

"Then I'll continue?"

"Ah."

……

"Leon, let's do it again!"

"Again? Interesting. I didn't expect your physique to be so resilient. No wonder you're a pure-blooded elf."

"Hmph, you'll be even more surprised when I've mastered my combat skills! This time, you'll have to go all out!"

"Iris, you're still far from it. I didn't even use 30% of my power just now."

"Thirty percent? Aren't you only slightly stronger than me?"

"You don't understand. My power generation techniques are beyond your comprehension. Come, feel them carefully, Iris."

"Ah...ah...phew, you rascal!"

"Oh, they've started arguing now?"

"I……"

Iris's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

One hundred words have been deleted here.

……

In the blink of an eye, the night had passed.

After savoring the joy of this night's extreme training, Leon leaned back in bed and began to take stock of what he had gained.

[Completed the initial deep life exchange; both parties' maximum mana increased by 15]

[Completed deep life exchange, entering deep purification mode]

[Note: Completing a deep soul-life exchange unlocks the ultimate purification mode]

[Character Iris's affection level +2%, current affection level 99%]

【里昂主要属性：精神力21/生命力79/魔力量130/体力77/力量74/敏捷90】

【伊丽丝主要属性：生命力91/魔力量141/体力54/力量53/敏捷52】

[Event and affinity requirements met, triggering Iris's hidden personal quest "Blood of the God of Light"]

[Mission Details: Help Iris purify the blood of the God of Light within her and further enhance her personal potential]

[Mission Rewards: Elemental Perception increased by 50%, Vitality increased by 30, Lifespan increased by 100, Learn the Light-type King-level Magic Lightning Flash]

Before Iris's magic power increased by 15 points, it actually increased by an additional 3 points on its own. This is ridiculous, considering it's only been a week since she left the dungeon.

In terms of magical power alone, she is already racing towards the four-fold limit of the fourth rank.

"Ultimate purification mode? Deep exchange of life and soul?"

Lyon stared at the information on the panel, lost in thought.

This whole thing was so exciting, yet it still didn't touch the soul.

It seems that Iris and I still need to keep working hard.

As for purifying the divine blood within the body, that was information I didn't know in my previous life, and I didn't know how to do it.

Does that mean activating extreme purification mode will solve the problem?

At that moment, Iris stretched out her long, white arms from under the covers and yawned.

Her bare thigh under the covers brushed against Leon, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it was unclear.

But the touch rekindled Lyon's interest.

He pounced on it.

"What are you going to do?"

"Hmph, what do you think?"

"It's already morning... phew... um... hmph... Granny's coming over to say hello later..."

"Never mind her, let's get through this first."

"No... my legs are so weak... and they hurt a little."

Well, Leon has no choice but to give up. Iris is still too weak. She's clearly good in strength, physique, and agility. What a pity.

……

Terena got up early this morning.

She was very happy yesterday, as if the stagnant waters of the past six years were gradually being filled with fresh water.

What should I say when I see Lyon today?

Should we express our gratitude to him, or leave things as they are?

She found that after more than a week of getting to know each other, she was increasingly looking forward to seeing Lyon every day.

"Hey, you're up early today."

He's here; he really did arrive quite early.

However, upon seeing Leon for the first time, Terena's face, which was about to bloom like a flower, immediately turned cold.

Chapter 284 Terena: Then cast the purification spell a few more times, but don't let me notice.

Lyon immediately noticed Terena's cold expression.

What, has she noticed something?

I should have already purified my body with purification magic today.

Why do you look so unhappy today?

"nothing."

Terena walked down the stairs looking dejected, seemingly unwilling to get close to Lyon.

Leon chuckled. What clues had this guy gleaned this time?

He grabbed Terena and put her on his shoulder, then began to teleport.

"Let me go! I want to walk by myself!"

"Don't move around, it'll be over soon."

Perhaps it was because of the exceptionally high level of focus enhanced by this deep purification, but Leon found that his efficiency in activating various skills had increased, and their effectiveness had also improved slightly.

Moreover, while using the Shadow Step, a large number of insights flashed through my mind, and I seemed to suddenly realize various wonders that I had not paid attention to before.

In just a few flashes, he realized that he had gained a thorough understanding of the magic techniques of Shadow Step.

Perhaps with continued high-frequency training in this wondrous state of focus, one can soon advance to the fifth-tier combat skill.

Sure enough, even just improving concentration can greatly unleash one's potential.

However, he found that the deep purification mode was quite physically demanding.

This high consumption isn't generated by activating combat skills or magic; it occurs constantly.

As soon as you start thinking and focusing on the task at hand, you will quickly deplete your physical energy.

No, it's less about physical exertion and more about the intense physical exertion caused by mental overload.

Once he was deeply focused and using his brain, he found that he lost 1 point of physical strength every minute!

And this doesn't even include the situation where the Instant Shadow Step is activated!

This shows how terrifyingly much mental energy is being consumed when you're highly focused!

Conversely, one can imagine how strong the focus must be to result from such intense exertion.

Moreover, during his intense focus just now, he found that he seemed to have also triggered a state of profound understanding of the Shadow Step.

This state is extremely rare, and the high level of focus brought about by this deep purification is not always present.

Realizing that he was very likely to achieve a sublimation of his combat skills, and that this state of enlightenment was extremely rare, he decided not to rush to learn magic and began to teleport out of the city with Therena.

He needs to find a spacious area to quickly improve his Shadow Step!

If he could reach the fifth rank, he couldn't even imagine how much his mobility would be enhanced by adding his agility and phantom transformation abilities.

Terena had been struggling to get Leon to let go of her, but when she observed the changes in the outside world from the perspective of the shadows and realized that Leon was taking a different path, she suddenly fell silent.

Although she had already developed a high degree of trust in Leon, she couldn't help but feel a little scared after discovering what he had just discovered, especially since Leon had led her onto a strange path without saying a word and the population was dwindling.
