"A piece of Four-Colored Jadeite, huh? I guess today is my lucky day!" Leon was surprised to see the colorful jadeite before him.He only chose the rock because he sensed the pure energy hidden inside. Though he expected to see top-quality jadeite inside, he did not anticipate finding something even better.A Four-Colored Jadeite symbolized all that was good in life and would be perfect as a birthday gift once made into a statue."Mister, are you selling your Four-Colored Jadeite? I'll pay 14 million for it!""You scammer! Even a cream-clear this size can go up to 14 million and that's all you are paying? I'll pay 28 million!""I can pay up to 42 million, young man!"...The jewelry and gemstones merchants fought over one another for a chance to purchase the jadeite from Leon.A Four-Colored Jadeite was extremely rare and because of the symbolism it held, wealthy families and powerful figures would pay fortunes over it. If any merchant managed to obtain it, they would profit tr
"Of course! I told you all that this rock contains top-quality jadeite from the beginning. You just won't believe it!" Leon said smugly in response to their compliments."But how do you know that?" Penny questioned.There were tens of thousands of rocks in the low-end area and it puzzled her as to how Leon managed to find the one piece that contained just valuable jadeite.'Does he have the superpower to see through the rocks?' She thought. 'But that's not possible!'"Well," Realizing that he could not explain his achievement with logic, Leon stuttered."Leon, you have some tricks that guided you to which rock to pick, don't you?" Iris asked as she recalled the Imperial Green necklace she received as a gift from Leon.She knew how Leon managed to obtain it and always thought that Leon was simply lucky. However, since Leon once again found an extremely rare jadeite, she realized there was more to the story and assumed that Leon had a secret trick or a certain talent that guided hi
"Why aren't you walking, Leon?" Iris was surprised that Leon stopped."Let's go check out the auction section!" Leon said calmly as he could hardly contain his excitement at the sight of a certain rock.He sensed an intensive wave of pure energy when he walked past the rock and the energy was even purer compared to the Four-Colored Jadeite in his hand. If he was not mistaken, there was yet another top-quality jadeite hidden inside."I think they're gambling on rocks there as well! You've already found a piece of Four-Colored Jadeite that can be used for Grandpa's birthday gift, so why are you going there?" Iris asked."We're already here, so we might as well check it out. Maybe I'll get another piece o top-quality jadeite!" Leon said casually."Another piece? Dream on!" Andy scoffed.He thought that Leon managed to obtain a piece of Four-Colored Jadeite out of sheer luck, so it would be impractical to think that Leon would get lucky again."Don't be so sure! Today's my lucky day
There were dozens of rocks in the display cabinet and there was a price tag next to each one of them. Depending on the size of the rocks and the quality of the jadeite exposed, their prices ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions.Because of the higher price range, most of the customers who gathered here were from wealthy families.Some of the customers who gathered for the big reveal of Leon's rock noticed that Leon and the others walked into the auction area.After finding the Four-Colored Jadeite in Leon's rock, they started to realize that Leon had sharp senses.Seeing how Leon was about to participate in another round of rock gambling, they followed Leon to the auction area to see if Leon would find yet another piece of top-quality jadeite, so the auction area was instantly packed with people.Leon ignored the others and strode up to the source of the energy he sensed with Iris, before stopping to study itThe rock was slightly smaller than the Four-Colored Jadeite and
"I said so before, Andy. You can't just rely on the appearance of the rock to make your judgment. The red jadeite on the surface doesn't look that great, but maybe there's a top-quality jadeite hidden inside! It's not completely impossible!" Leon said."Inside? You think that just because there's a faint shade of purple inside, you might find purple and even green, which makes it a Three-Colored Jadeite?" Andy questioned.The crowd stirred at his words."Is this another Three-Colored Jadeite again?""It's possible. Since there's red jadeite on the surface, the faint shade of purple may indicate that there's purple jadeite inside and if there's also a shade of green there, that would make it a piece of Three-Colored Jadeite!"...A few frequent customers started studying the rock.The color red, purple and green symbolized happiness, wealth, and longevity. Since this jadeite contained red and purple, it would be classified as a Three-Colored Jadeite if there was green jadeite hid
"Leon, did you hear that? You're not getting anything out of this rock! I thought that you have brilliant senses for finding a Four-Colored Jadeite. I guess I've overestimated you!" Andy smirked."You don't know that yet! Maybe I'll get lucky again!" Leon said casually.He had little to no knowledge about rock gambling and only chose the rock because of the pure energy he sensed from the core of it, so there was no way for him to tell if the jadeite inside would contain three different shades of colors or more."Seriously? You amateur! Do you know anything about jadeite at all? The quality of this red jadeite on the surface is so poor that what's inside can't be of high quality!" Andy burst into laughter.The quality of a piece of jadeite could be told by even just a part of it and if one part of the jadeite was of poor quality, the same could be assumed for the rest."I guess this kid doesn't know much about jadeites!""I think so! I thought that he was an expert in finding a Fo
"I see!"Penny's explanation resolved the questions in Leon and Iris's minds.Leon was confused as to why someone would compete with him over the rock that nobody seemed to see the value in. It dawned on him that Willie did so to annoy the Scammells and Penny and that he only became the target because he was with Penny."What do you think you are doing? Are you just doing this to get on my nerves?!" Penny glared daggers at Willie."So what if I am?" Willie smirked proudly.As Leon predicted, Willie only decided to compete against Leon because he was with Penny. After hearing what others said about the Four-Colored Jadeite Leon found, Willie noticed that Leon was talented and that he might be targeting the red jadeite for a reason. Hence, he decided to bid against Leon and take the opportunity to upset the Scammells."That's enough, Willie!" Andy roared.As Penny's fiancé, he would soon be a part of her family and could not stand idly by when Willie was bullying her."It's enoug
"Keep talking like you are my boss! What a joke! Come at me and let's see what you can do!" Leon scoffed at his threats.Both Penny and Andy were shocked by Leon's words.Andy thought of Leon as a redneck from a small city and looked down on him all along, yet Leon dared to challenge the future heir of the Libertons when even Andy cowered before such a powerful figure; he simply could not comprehend what gave Leon the courage to do such a thing."It's fine, Leon. Let's give up. The chance that there's a Three-Colored Jadeite is quite slim, so just let him have it," Penny said.Though she was the eldest daughter of the Scammells, she was a woman and could never become the heir, so she could not hold a candle to Willie in terms of physical strength and status.Since Leon came from a small city, she assumed that he was a mediocre martial artist at best and if Leon enraged Willie, she would not have the power to protect Leon."No way, Penny! I'm getting that rock one way or another!
"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
