"Leon, you're brilliant! Not only have you saved Damian, but you've also even cured his legs. We don't know how we can thank you for this."Patrick and Amy were both excited.Patrick was overwhelmed by shock and appreciation; his prejudice against Leon came close to killing Damian, and Leon managed to revive him."Leon? Wasn't Mister Yair the one who treated me? What does this have to do with Leon?" Damian questioned in confusion.Before his heart stopped beating, he remembered that it was Mister Yair who treated him and did not know what happened afterward."Damian, you were dead for a moment there and Leon revived you," Patrick explained."What?!" Damian gasped when he realized that he was staring death in the eye and would have perished if Leon did not save him."So what Leon said was true after all, I was poisoned, instead of suffering damage to my nerves."Damian finally realized that he wrongfully accused Leon of lying.Leon warned him multiple times not to take the Snow
Meanwhile, an awkward expression appeared on Mister Yair's face when Leon revived Damian.He ignored Leon's advice and came close to killing Damian, so he had no clue how to explain himself."Mister Yair, seeing how Damian is fine now, I won't blame you for what happened! Just leave!" Patrick commanded coldly."Thank you for your forgiveness, Elder Scammell," Mister Yair sighed a breath of relief inwardly and turned to bow at Leon, "Young man, your skills are unparalleled and I admit defeat," Mister Yair said earnestly.He was always proud of his skills as a doctor but was struck down from his pedestal after seeing how Leon managed to revive the dead."You're too kind, Mister Yair. I was just lucky," Leon said modestly."This is my business card. I would be grateful if you would teach me your ways," Mister Yair handed Leon his business card."I'm hardly qualified to teach anyone anything. If there's a chance, we can exchange experience and knowledge," Leon accepted the business
The Sky Market was the biggest trade center for ancient artifacts and rare items in the Southern region.Leon parked his car in the outdoor parking lot nearby and stepped out of the car with Penny and Iris.In the distance, a young man in his twenties waited for them with two guards standing by his sides."Penny, over here!" The man waved his arm and walked over when he spotted Leon and the others, while Penny led Leon and Iris forward."Leon, Iris, allow me to introduce my fiancé. He's the second son of the Vernells, Andy. Andy, this is my cousin, Iris, and her boyfriend, Leon," Penny made a simple introduction for them."Cousin?" Andy stared at Iris and was instantly enslaved by her beauty. He thought that Penny was a rare beauty with her elegant and gentle demeanor; however, Iris was far more beautiful in a majestic manner that made her look like a fallen angel."Hello, nice to meet you," Andy recovered from the initial shock and smiled as he tried to shake Iris's hand."Um,"
"Andy, Iris, and Leon want to buy jadeites and since you know about these things better than I do, why don't you take us around?" Penny cut to the chase.She hardly knew anything about jadeites and called Andy over to help, but also because her grandfather's eightieth birthday was approaching and she was in search of a gift."Sure." Andy nodded, before taking Leon and the others to the Sky Market....The Sky Market was filled with shops selling gemstones and ancient artifacts, so it was packed with people.The Gem Seeker was the biggest, most famous retailer for jadeites; the interior design of the shop was extravagant and there were three designated areas for jadeites, unpolished jadeites, and products that were up for auction.It was far grander than any of the jadeite shops Leon saw in Springfield City and though there were still hours before nightfall, there were still a lot of customers coming in and out of the shop.Leon and the others strode in and went directly to the a
"This tiny thing costs 3 million? That's so expensive! Leon, why are you buying this?" Iris blurted out asking.Leon established Wolf Enterprises that took over countless properties that once belonged to the Lowes and the Fields; along with the profit he made with Cynthion Group and Elegante Group, Leon was filthy rich, but Iris was concerned that he was overspending after seeing how much he spent on the Snow Lotus back in Seacove City.As his girlfriend, she felt the need to stop him."It's fine. I need them for something," Leon said casually.Apart from the core of the Energy Convergence Circle, he could use ordinary jadeites. However, he had more than enough money and figured that using jadeites of better quality would be most ideal."Oh, okay, then." Seeing how determined Leon was, Iris did not say anything else as 3 million dollars was hardly a big amount."Leon, I should pay instead!" Penny said, before handing the saleswoman a card."It's fine, Penny, I can pay myself," L
"What?! Eighteen?" Andy's jaw dropped.Even Iris and Penny were shocked as none of them expected Leon to purchase such a big amount of jadeites."Yeah!" Leon nodded.He needed eighteen pieces of jadeites and another one for the core, but since he carried the core of the Energy Convergence Circle with him all the time, he did not need to purchase an extra piece for it."But," Andy paled and was at a loss for his words.Though the Vernells had a total asset of billions, most of them were under the family's name in the form of properties and funds. Since Andy was only the second son and not the heir, he might be able to spend 3 million casually, but could hardly afford to pay over 50 million on jadeites.Penny, who worked for her family's firm and did not possess her own company like Cynthia and Iris, had a limit of 14 million on her card and could not possibly make such a big purchase at once."Why are you still standing here, Miss? Bring over eighteen pieces of this jadeite!" Leo
"Leon, you're so rich," Penny was shocked when she saw how Leon spent over 50 million without batting an eyelash.Naturally, she was unaware that Leon accomplished everything with his hard work and could not be compared with people born wealthy like Penny or Andy."I'm sufficient." Leon smiled modestly and placed the jadeites into his bag."Leon, since you're done, let's go home!" Iris said."Sure," he nodded and turned to Penny, "let's go, Penny.""You two go on ahead! It's Grandpa's eighteenth birthday in a few days and I want to walk around to buy him a gift," Penny said."It's Grandpa's birthday soon? When?" Iris was shocked"Five days from now," Penny said."Oh, Leon and I should prepare a gift as well, then." Iris smiled.Leon turned to the saleswoman. "Miss, is there anything perfect for birthday gifts here? Why don't you give me a few recommendations?""Of course. You can carve the jadeite into a statue, or pick one of our ancient drawings as a gift. Please follow me,
"That's a great idea!" Leon's eyes lit up.He went stone gambling in Springfield City before and knew the tricks to it. With his current power level, it would be easy for him to find a piece of jadeite of high quality. Naturally, he could also purchase the jadeite from other bidders as well."Iris, come on. Let's check out the unpolished jadeite section." Leon said to Iris."Penny, let's go with them! I'm quite experienced in stone gambling so if we gamble on the right stone, we can give it to your grandpa as his birthday gift!" Andy said.Like Leon, he also wanted to give Patrick a jadeite statue, but since they could not possibly pick the same gift, Leon would be forced to change his gift if Andy managed to pick a rock that contained high-quality jadeite before Leon did.Andy was humiliated earlier and wanted to salvage his pride by forcing Leon to choose another gift."Sure." Penny nodded.There were plenty of choices when it came to birthday gifts made with jadeites. Apart f
"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
