For a mere body refining fifth level to be able to reach this degree, if Leo was allowed to continue to grow as he please, surpassing Kaelos would simply be a matter of course. He had never felt such a powerful threat ever since he had reached his current standing of first place.
And although Lyrius was only inferior to him by a bit, and the threat to him was similarly not small, in the end Lyrius was still inferior. Even if Lyrius could successfully comprehend spear intent and his strength progressed a step, could it be that he would be so easily stepped over?
Of course, more importantly, Lyrius was spear crazy. He didn't care about anything else. Even if first place was taken away by him, Kaelos didn't believe that his limelight would decrease. But Leo was different. After just entering the Wind Sword Sect, he had brewed up a storm. Most likely, if Leo wound up riding atop of his head, then he probably would completely become like a weed on the side of the road.
