Leon and Cynthia's appearance calmed the Shears down a bit."Leon, there's a difference between man and woman! You're already one of the most notable people in Springfield City right now. I hope you'll pay more attention to your actions. Please distance yourself from my daughter!" Brad said rudely, not bothering to be polite with Leon."That…"Leon felt a bit awkward at Brad's words. He did not know how to answer."Dad, what are you doing? We only managed to avoid disaster today thanks to Leon. Even if there are some conflicts between us, there's no need to attack him like that!" Cynthia said unhappily."I know! All of us are very thankful that he helped us this time! However, that doesn't mean he can try to have more than one girl at once, seducing my daughter without fear!" Brad said angrily."I…"Cynthia's face reddened. She felt herself rendered speechless."Mister Shear, please calm down."Leon took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Yes, it was my fault that I canceled t
Bang!Looking at the elders being tempted, Tomas immediately stood up and slammed his hand on the table before Benedict could react."What's there to discuss? Are we really going to toss away our reputation for a few pills?!" Tomas said angrily.Cynthia was the treasured daughter of the Shears. If she continued to be with Leon and Iris, willingly becoming Leon's mistress, it would completely destroy the reputation of the Shears when word got out!Even he would not agree to that, let alone Brad and Benedict!"Uncle is right! There's no room for negotiation with regard to this!" Brad stood up and said with resolve as well."Everyone, it's not just the Pure Energy Pills, I have an Advanced Power class method to give you as an apology as well," Leon hurriedly said, taking a book out.He had gotten Cynthia to retrieve some pen and paper after he finished refining the Pure Energy Pills to write the method down. The goal was to show his sincerity to the Shears to dissolve the conflict
"What? Uncle, you…"Brad was stunned as he looked at Tomas in disbelief.Earlier, he had thought that Tomas would forever stand by his side after Tomas berated the elders like that.He never expected Tomas would betray him like that for one method!His uncle was too unreliable!"How shameless…"The elders silently cursed Tomas in their hearts.However, the Advanced Pure Energy Pills and the Advanced Power class method were right in front of them. All of them were already incredibly tempted.Since Tomas was willing to give in, it suited them just fine!"Tomas is right!""This is Cynthia's own choice. We should let the youngsters resolve things among themselves!""It might not be good for us old folks to forcibly interfere…"The elders all advised."No! Dad, this is just absurd. As long as Leon refuses to leave Iris, I'll never let Cynthia be with him!" Brad said angrily. He remained firm."That…"Benedict's face was dark with uncertainty. He looked like he was waging a wa
"So that's it!"Benedict and the others had looks of realization on their faces after Leon's explanation.Brad, in particular, started to calm down a lot more, no longer objecting to the situation.There was no way he would have allowed Cynthia to be a mistress.However, Leon was just trying to resolve things with the Shears. He was not trying to ask for their permission to be with Cynthia. It was something he and Benedict could accept.Just like Leon said, they could let everything run its course. If Cynthia had a moment of realization one day, she might give up on Leon herself.Of course, there was nothing they could do if she did not.With how stubborn Cynthia was, there was no way they would be able to force Cynthia to draw the line with Leon. Otherwise, Cynthia might end up deciding to die for Leon, just like Iris had.Then, they would lose everything!In the end, all they could do was hope that Leon would know his place and not try to deceive Cynthia. As for whether or n
"Elder Shear, I have something else I want to talk to you about in private…" Leon looked at Tomas and the other elders before he stopped his words."All of you, head out!" Benedict understood and waved the rest of them away.Very quickly, only Benedict, Leon, and Cynthia were left in the hall."Leon, what is it? Go ahead," Benedict asked curiously."I still have another method to give you," Leon said before he took out a method. He had just written that down as well."A method? Didn't you just give one to us?" Benedict was shocked, not sure of what Leon was trying to do."It's different. The one from before was just an Advanced Power class Method! This one is an Ultimate Power class method!" Leon said simply."What? An Ultimate Power Method? So what Sean Lapwood said was true. You really do have one!" Benedict was shocked to hear that. He immediately stood up.When Leon was fighting Sean, Leon merely admitted that he had an Advanced Power Method. He never admitted to having a
After Leon passed the method to Benedict, Leon bid his farewells to Cynthia and left the Shears.After all his hard work, he had finally resolved things with the Shears. It had relieved a massive burden from his heart, and he felt incredibly happy.However, just thinking about Cynthia gave him a bit of a headache.In truth, he had just wanted to resolve things with the Shears. He wanted to make up for what he owed them.Yet, things went a bit out of control. With how Benedict and the Shears were acting, it was like they had all silently agreed to his relationship with Cynthia.It rendered him unable to defend himself!Of course, as a man, it was something brilliant. He should be happy about it.However, looking at it from Iris and Cynthia's perspective, it was just too absurd. It was too unfair for both of them!His logic told him that he could not be so shameless. However, reality rendered him constantly on the back foot!Suddenly, he felt like his emotions were in a mess. He
"So that's what you're here for!" Iris had a look of realization on her face. After that, she said, "What about it?""What? Iris, are you thinking straight? Your boyfriend is about to be stolen by another woman. Why are you so unconcerned?" Gilbert was shocked. He could not believe his ears.He thought that Iris would be furious about this. He never expected Iris' reaction to be so calm!He was absolutely confused!"I…" Iris was speechless.Leon and Cynthia's relationship had already been silently approved by her before this. Back then, she had been the one who asked Leon to reconcile with Cynthia. It was just that the matter was a bit odd. She did not know how to explain things to Gilbert!Surely she could not tell her grandfather and father that she had already accepted Cynthia?The two of them would probably blow up with anger at that!At that moment, Ruth was on the sofa in the living room. Her chin was on her hands, and she was enjoying the show.Looking at Gilbert being
"Iris, y-you and Cynthia, with Leon…""Are you crazy?" Gilbert was absolutely furious after he snapped out of his shock!"Dad, things aren't the way you think. Cynthia helped Leon a lot before this. She was already practically engaged with Leon back then, and I ruined it for her, stealing her fiance. I've always regretted it a lot. In the end, I just want to give her a chance to make up for the hurt I've caused her," Iris said."Nonsense! How could this be allowed? I won't agree to this!" A Gilbert almost blew up in his anger."Whatever! Iris, give Leon a call right now. Have him come back here immediately! I want to talk to him personally!" Elder Young said seriously. He looked much calmer than Gilbert was."There's no need, I'm already back!"At that moment, Leon's voice was heard. He walked right into the living room.Gilbert could not hold his anger back at the sight of Leon. He immediately exploded, "Leon, you absolute scoundrel!""How could you do this?!" Gilbert said a
"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
