"So he won with some kind of tricks!" Sean was relieved to learn that Leon was not in the Peak Overlord State and sneered."Who's next?" Leon straightened his back and pointed at Sean, "Sean Lapwood, what other tricks do you Lapwoods have up your sleeves?""Enough with your arrogance! I shall be your doom!" The old man dressed in gray stepped forward."Chester, I'll leave this to you! He might be training with an Ultimate Power Method. Make sure you disable him and make him hand it over!" Sean reminded."Don't worry. I won't disappoint you, Mister Sean!" Chester nodded and stopped at a distance away from Leon."You? What a joke!" Leon scoffed and scanned Chester in contempt."Save it, Leon. Chester reached the Peak Overlord State seven years ago and he is the very best even among people on the same level! Even if you are indeed in the Peak Overlord State, you are going to die" Sean sneered."Is that so? Let's see what he is made of, then!" Leon said mockingly.With the Mirror o
"What a sly old man!" Leon's expression darkened.He thought that he would be able to defeat Chester with ease since he possessed the Mirror of Sovereign, only to realize that he underestimated his opponent.Chester was on guard and refused to fall for the same trap, so Leon would eventually be defeated."It's over. Leon's going to lose!""Yeah! His opponent is one of the very best among martial artists in the Peak Overlord State and it's already quite impressive that Leon managed to survive that long."...The people below the stage shook their heads and sighed as they looked at Leon sympathetically.Though they guessed that Leon might have reached the Peak Overlord State, since Chester was far too formidable, it was only normal for Leon to lose, so none of them thought that Leon stood a chance."Let's see what you can do now!" Sean sneered and crossed his arms smugly."Destroy him!"The Fields were all excited when they saw how close Chester was to defeating Leon.On the c
"No!"Both Cynthia and Iris paled and screamed.Ruth, the Youngs and the Pooles were all devastated at the sight before them."It's over!""Leon is really going to be defeated this time!"...The others predicted this outcome and were not at all surprised; however, most of them felt sympathetic that a rare genius like Leon was about to be killed by the Lapwoods.Naturally, others were happy about it; not only did Leon become Iris's boyfriend, he failed Cynthia at their engagement party, which made Leon the known enemy to all eligible bachelors in the city and they were all pleased that Leon was going to meet the demise he deserved."Good!"...Sean and the Fields burst out laughing.Sean, who assumed that Leon was training with an Ultimate Power Method, could obtain the method from Leon at all costs.Since Absolute Methods were extremely rare, the best methods that existed within Solum County belonged to the Ultimate Power class and if the Lapwoods could obtain such a metho
"N- No way!"The entire plaza fell into silence as the people gaped at Leon in disbelief.They all saw Leon was struck in the chest and all thought that Leon was going to die, yet not only did Leon survive, he defeated Chester with a single blow.It was so inconceivable that none of them would have believed that it actually happened if they did not see it with their own eyes."Leon's fine!""Thank god!"Cynthia and Iris recovered from the initial shock and broke down in joyful tears.They finally realized that Leon challenged the Lapwoods because he had what it took to win and they all underestimated Leon."How's this possible?"On the opposite end, Sean and the Fields stood still as though they were struck by lightning.The three Lapwoods guards were their best shot at defeating Leon, yet all three of them were severely injured by Leon. The martial artists left who could fight were hardly comparable to Leon in strength and they were all devastated."W- Woah!""Could it be
"Tool?"Iris and Ruth both came to a realization when they heard Chester.The others might be clueless, but they both knew that Leon obtained the Mirror of Sovereign during the auction in Seacove City.They connected the dots and concluded that the Mirror of Sovereign was a defensive tool that could fend off even the attack from martial artists in the Peak Overlord State."Just how lucky is Leon?""Not only does he have an Advanced Power Method, but now he has some kind of defensive tool as well? That lucky jerk!"...Once the others recovered from the initial shock, they all turned to look at Leon enviously.If Leon was not powerful, they would have all charged at him in an attempt to steal his training methods and tools."Damn it! If I knew that Leon was a defensive tool, I would've never lost to him," Chester gritted out in frustration."It's all over."Sean and the Fields were devastated, as they all knew that with all the Lapwoods guards defeated, none of them had the p
"Old man, the Fields used the Lapwoods to act so arrogantly in front of us yesterday. It's our time for revenge!" Benedict reacted very quickly. He charged forward with the experts from the Shears, holding back Walter and the others."Me too! Elder Shear, I'll help you out!" Vincent laughed as he joined the fray, leading his family into the battle.He knew that the Fields were Leon's enemies. He owed Leon so much. He did not even need to think about it as he immediately stood on Leon's side.Looking at the battle on the stage, Elder Young could not help but frown.Leon was going to be his son-in-law. The Youngs naturally needed to help Leon.However, ever since the family was broken up, there were not many experts left. Even if they joined, they would not be able to help much."Gilbert, bring our men to seal off their retreat. Don't let the Fields escape!" Elder Young said decisively.Even though they were not able to help Leon against any strong opponents, they could easily hel
"Grandfather, you're finally here. Hurry up and save me…"Sean looked elated at the old man's arrival. He hurriedly shouted out for help.That old man was his grandfather, the head of the Lapwoods of Sky County, Orvald Lapwood!Ever since Sean found out Leon could have an Advanced Power method, or something even better, he immediately relayed the information to Orvald!For the Lapwoods, any methods at that level were incredibly rare and valuable. It was something they could not get, even with any amount of money!Yet, it actually appeared at an insignificant place like Springfield City. Orvald was incredibly happy. He immediately hurried over with a few of his men and had just arrived."Who are you?" Leon frowned when he felt the terrifying aura coming from Orvald. He suddenly felt incredibly uneasy."Brat, listen well. This is Elder Lapwood, the head of the Lapwoods of Sky County!" A subordinate proudly reported who Orvald was."What? The head of the Lapwoods?""He's actual
"What? OId man, if you do anything rash, I'll cripple Sean right away!" Leon was shocked, but he reacted quickly and immediately grabbed Sean from the ground, trying to threaten Orvald.Yet, no matter how fast he was, Orvald was several times quicker!Before he could even pick Sean up, Orvald already appeared in front of him incredibly quickly, striking his chest with immense power.The clear sound of bone cracking could be heard. Leon did not even have the ability to fight back as he was sent flying several meters back by Orvald. He shot back like a cannonball before he fell below the stage.After he fell, Leon spat out mouthfuls of blood. He felt like at least seven or eight of his ribs had been cracked, and he was obviously injured heavily.However, he had the protection of the Mirror of Sovereign around his chest. Ever since he got the mysterious power of his ancestors, his body seemed remarkably capable of taking hits and recovering as well. Otherwise, he would probably alr
