Leon would just be alone. It would be a pipe dream for him to fight against the combined might of the Youngs and the Lowes!In the end, Leon might not be able to help them return to the Youngs even if he tried his whole life. If they waited for Leon just like that, they might never be able to return!"I know! However, we've already been abandoned by the family. We have nothing now, so how would we fight back?!" Elder Young sighed helplessly. In truth, he knew that a few years was a long time, and a lot of things might happen during the time.Furthermore, all his power was gone, and Gilbert was not that useful. In the end, he had to put all his hopes on Leon!There was no other way."No, there's someone else who can help us!" Gilbert said with fire in his eyes."Who?" Elder Young was shocked. He looked at Gilbert uncertainly."Anson! No, to be precise, it's the Collins!" Gilbert said seriously."The Collins? We have nothing to do with them. Why would they help us? It's impossi
Elder Young looked unhappy, quickly waking up from that dream.He was able to survive this time all thanks to Leon risking Leon's life to save him from the Youngs and Leon's medical skills.Leon saved him so many times. He actually forced Leon and Iris apart for the sake of his own benefits, it would be too dishonorable!He was not an idiot like Gilbert."Dad, I'm doing this for Iris's sake."Seeing as his thoughts were not able to gain Elder young's approval, Gilbert tried to explain himself. However, he was interrupted by Iris immediately."I don't care about that! Back then, you kept on saying it was for my own good when you force me and Leon apart, making us go through so much! It took so much for the two of us to get back together, and now you're trying to break us apart with the same excuse! You're really crossing the line!" Iris was furious.It was obvious to her that Gilbert just wanted her to get together with Anson for the sake of his own benefits.Suddenly, she was f
Yet, the Mysterious Maiden Method was an incredible Absolute Method that was incredibly significant. She definitely could not just tell that to Elder young and Gilbert.Even though the two of them were her relatives, Gilbert was an incredibly selfish person. He was also not someone all that farsighted. If Gilbert knew that Leon had an Absolute Method, the results would be disastrous!"Grandfather, I can't explain this to you at the moment! It's just a misunderstanding. Leon's not that kind of man. I trust him!" Iris said firmly."Alright, even if Ruth was just a misunderstanding, what about Cynthia? Is Cynthia's matter a misunderstanding as well? Leon abandoned Cynthia during their engagement. That's something everyone in Springfield City knows! If he managed to abandon Cynthia, he might end up abandoning you like that someday as well!" Gilbert siffed."It's not like that"Iris bit her lips. She wanted to explain, but did not know what to say.There was no way she could tell Gi
"In the future, you can deal with the Youngs yourselves. Leon and I won't bother with you anymore!"Iris already panicked. She decided to just blow things up so Elder Young and Gilbert would not be able to do anything to them or continue interfering with her relationship with Leon."You-"Elder Young and Gilbert were furious when they saw that Iris was adamant about being with Leon, but there was nothing they could do.Gilbert clenched his teeth. He looked like he made a decision. He started to kneel down in front of Iris."Dad, what are you doing?" Iris was shocked. She reached out to pull Gilbert up.However, Gilbert was already an advanced Supreme Master. No matter how much strength she used, she could not move Gilbert at all."Iris, I'm begging you. Leon isn't worthy of you at all. You should leave him and accept Anson! Anson really does love you. As long as you get engaged to him, we'll be able to use the Collins to regain power over the family! It's perfect!" Gilbert beg
Ever since he knew of what happened between Leon and Cynthia as well as Ruth on top of how much Iris being with Anson would help them, Elder Young's thoughts changed as well. He started to support Gilbert's decision!"Grandfather, are you going to tear Leon and me apart too?" Iris's heart sank completely. She felt hopeless. "Iris, I know you feel like you're in a difficult place, but I'm begging you too.""Your father’s already on his knees. Will you only agree if I kneel as well?" Elder Young said that as he struggled off the bed, wanting to knee."Grandfather, no. I-I'll just agree!"Iris bit her lips tightly. She hurriedly stopped Elder Young, finally agreeing.However, after what happened the last time, there was no way she would break up with Leon.She was just being pressured too hard by Elder Young and Gilbert, and merely said yes for the moment.She already decided that she would go talk to it about Leon after that to see how they could overcome Elder Young and Gilbert
Leon's voice got even colder as he tried to hide his sadness."What are you saying? Do you want me to get engaged to Anson?" Iris said unhappily, but Leon could not tell."So what if I don't want to? You broke up with me last time to protect your family after being forced to by Elder Young and your father. This time, I can't believe you're going to leave me again to help them rejoin the family."Leon let out a mocking smile, his tone was unbelievably sad. He felt like he was an idiot. He gave Iris so much over and over again, but Iris hurt him over and over again instead!It was obvious how he would feel!"Who said I was going to leave you?" Iris was frustrated and amused."Did you need to say it? I heard everything that happened just now. Could it be fake?" Leon was frustrated."Alright, since you won't believe me, then I'm leaving!" Iris said stubbornly."Leave, then!" Leon closed his eyes silently, not turning around the whole time."You!" Iris was very angry. After that,
"I don't blame you. My family has been so bad to you. You've helped us so much, and not only is my dad not grateful, he's even targeting you at every point. He even wants to break us up again for his benefit! He's just too much!" Iris said regretfully. She was filled with guilt toward Leon."It's fine, no matter what he thinks, I'm happy as long as you're still with me," Leon smiled, not caring about it.Even though he did not like Gilbert that much, Gilbert was still Iris's father. He could not completely treat Gilbert as an enemy.Furthermore, Gilbert's greatest flaw was his short-sightedness. He was always looking for profits. It was not too big of a deal.Once he was strong enough and able to benefit Gilbert enough, he would gain Gilbert's approval eventually!"Leon, what do we do now? My father and grandfather want me to marry Anson so they can go back. Do you have any solution to that? If you really can't figure anything out, then let's just leave together," Iris said after
Iris hesitated for a moment before she quickly kissed Leon on the cheek, blushing as she did that."Isn't that too cheap of a reward?!" Leon was not satisfied.Before Iris could react, he suddenly put his arm around Iris's thin waist. He pushed his lips right only Iris's.Feeling the warmth on her cheek, Iris protested for a moment before she quickly melted into Leon's arms.It lasted for a very long time.Only when Iris started to lose her breath did Leon reluctantly leave her alluring lips."Leon, it's getting late. You should get some rest. I'll go back for now."Iris's face was completely red. She looked like a frightened rabbit as she hurriedly jumped out of Leon's arms, preparing to leave the place."Don't go!" Leon grabbed Iris's wrist and pulled her, launching Iris straight into his arms again.Iris was the most beautiful of the four great beauties. She was captivating, enough to gain the eternal attention of any man.Leon was no exception. He felt a fire in his hea
"Miss Morrison, I would like to thank you for saving my life," Iris said as she approached Renee's bed. She meant to thank Renee for having saved her so narrowly from death during their encounter with one of Brahma's clones, which was why she lingered in Renee's room even after everyone left. "Miss Young, if you would truly like to return the favor, there is something you can do for me," Renee said, biting her lip as though what she was about to say was an excruciatingly difficult decision to make."What is it?" Iris asked, although she felt like she already knew what was the answer. "I would like to join you in being Leon's companions," Renee said with an expectant look. She harbored feelings toward Leon for some time now but refrained from competing against Iris and Cynthia, knowing there was no way she could win. However, she had an epiphany after her narrow escape from death and realized that there was so much more to life than competing with other women over a man. Therefor
"Nothing is impossible! It's high time you accept your fate, you old git! Take this! The Phoenix Sky Fist!" Leon merely scoffed at him. The next moment, he directed one last attack at Wulfric in the form of his most powerful move—the Phoenix Sky Fist, a sage technique belonging to the Heavenly Class!A cloud of pulsating energy charged straight toward Wulfric, without any mercy toward his cries of horror!Its sole intent was to destroy him and put an end to this battle!"No—" Wulfric let out a bloodcurdling scream as he watched, defenseless, as the Phoenix Sky Fist soared toward him. His first instinct was to leap out of harm's way, but Leon was far too powerful for him and anticipated this beforehand. Not to mention the Phoenix Sky Fist was one of the most powerful moves belonging to the Heavenly Class, and there was no possible way he could escape from its wrath.Wulfric's limp body only left a few feet off the ground when the Phoenix Sky Fist crashed into him, rendering his body
"Haha! I've finally attained the Saint State! Now it's time for you to die, you old git!" A glimmer of malice flashed through Leon's eyes. When he fixated his gaze on Wulfric's face, it sent a shudder down Wulfric's entire body, for Leon's eyes were like two pits of deep, dark, sinister hatred. "How cocky of you to say that, you twat! So what if you attained the Saint State? You haven't even got time to harness your powers yet, so you're no match for me! Take this!" Wulfric scoffed, taking no notice of Leon's threats at all. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he sent a powerful surge of energy pummeling Leon's way, intending to destroy Leon while his defenses were low!"He's right. So what if he's attained the Saint State? He can't even control his powers properly," the rest of the Chanters all agreed, and felt rather relieved by this. The glimmer of hope that ignited briefly within Pierre, Zach, and the rest was immediately doused after hearing the Chanters' words. Wulf
"Hahaha! This ends here—once and for all!" Wulfric broke out into a manic cackle of laughter upon seeing Pierre's defeat. The defeat of Pierre, Zach, and his two lackeys had no doubt instilled a newfound triumph in him, for the four of them combined were his greatest opponents thus far, and now that he rendered them powerless, there was no longer anyone in his way!Not even Leon, Percival, Alastair, or the rest of their comrades could defeat him! He and the Chanters would go on, unstopped, to dominate the world!One could only imagine his ecstasy at finally fulfilling his dream at long last!"All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!" Aiken and the rest of the Chanters erupted into thunderous applause and cheers of sheer elation. "Oh no!""We can't possibly stand a chance!" Percival, Alastair, and the rest on the good side felt their hearts sink at the thought of their impending doom. Although they outnumbered the Chanters by a significant m
Gulp!Taking advantage of the moment, Leon decisively took out a Holy Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Initially, he intended to use an Essential Detox Pill to help Pierre, Zach, and the other two Semi-Saint State fighters counteract the poison. However, with Pierre injured by Wulfric and Zach along with the other two severely wounded and out of combat, even if he cured them, their side was still doomed to defeat.In this desperate situation, he could only take a gamble. He hoped that, with the breakthrough signs he felt in his martial arts bottleneck, the Holy Spirit Pill would help him break through the sage arts barrier or raise his power level to the Great Crossing Phase. This might be their only chance at victory."Mister Wolf, as long as there's life, there's hope. I'll try my best to hold off Wulfric. You must escape now and find a way to avenge us later."Pierre, enduring his injuries and the poison, stood up with a determined look on his face. He knew that their side was alre
"You're courting death!"Wulfric, enraged by Leon's fierce attack and the slaying of Central Boss, had no choice but to halt his assault on Pierre and the other three momentarily. He turned and unleashed a powerful palm strike, its overwhelming force aimed squarely at Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist.Boom!The collision between Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist and Wulfric's attack was explosive. In an instant, Wulfric's strike shattered Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist, and its residual force hurtled toward Leon."Not good!"Leon’s expression changed drastically as he rapidly tried to evade. However, with Wulfric's Saint State power level, evading was futile. No matter where he ran, he was unable to get out of the attack range. The residual force of Wulfric's true energy struck Leon, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.Cough! Cough!As Leon hit the ground, a wave of intense pain surged through his chest, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood. It was clear he suffered significa
Whoosh!Compared to Percival and Alastair's heavy hearts, Leon remained relatively calm. In the past, he killed Poisonwielder and specifically crafted a potent antidote, the Essential Detox Pill, to counteract Reaper's Breath.He happened to have a few dozen of these pills on him. Though Pierre and the others were poisoned by Reaper's Breath, as long as Leon could get the antidote to them in time, they still stood a chance to win.With this in mind, Leon did not waste any time. He stopped fighting with Central Boss, leaped up, and quickly rushed toward Pierre and the others to deliver the antidote."Leon, are you planning to run away? Well, do you think it's going to be that easy?" Central Boss misunderstood Leon's actions, thinking he intended to escape. Given how much he hated Leon, he was not going to let Leon get away so easily.Without a second thought, Central Boss dashed forward, resolutely blocking Leon once again. With Wulfric having reversed the situation and forcing Pie
"Pierre, you have pushed me to this! Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I'm going to do next! You all can go to hell!" Wulfric's expression turned grim when he saw the Chanter fighters in a dire and dangerous situation. He knew he had to end this battle quickly to avoid significant casualties among the Chanter descendants.Thus, he decided not to hold back. He waved his two hands, releasing two clouds of white mist that surged forward, engulfing Pierre, Zach, and the other two. The white mist transformed into a flurry of powder, like a shower of flowers, enveloping the four of them."What's this?""This is bad, it's poison!"Realizing the unusual nature of the white powder, Pierre and Zach were alarmed.Immediately, the four of them held their breath and swiftly retreated, trying to escape the range of the white mist and powder. Unfortunately, it was too late! The white powder and mist seeped everywhere, and being too close to Wulfric, they already inhaled a signific
"How dare a loser like you be so arrogant? I'll teach you to be humble!"Leon sneered contemptuously. Central Boss clashed with him twice before, each time ending with Central Boss being injured and fleeing. Thus, Leon did not take his attack seriously at all.Without hesitation, he pointed a finger and unleashed the Advanced Earth Class sage technique, Earthly Plunder. Sharp and fierce energy condensed at his fingertip, roaring as it met Central Boss's attack head-on!Bang!Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed solidly with Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw in a violent collision. However, unlike previous encounters, this time Leon's technique did not break through Central Boss's attack; instead, it was shattered by it!Not only that! The Dragon Pill he recently took did not fully manifest itself yet, so not only did Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw shatter Leon's Earthly Plunder but also sent him staggering back.Leon struggled to regain his footing, retreating three or four steps be
