"Leon, top-quality jades are one in a million, how could you get one so easily?! What's the point of making things hard for yourself?" Penny could not help but sigh and say.It was not just her, Andy was the same as well. Neither of them felt like that piece of stone would yield a top quality jade at all. It did not sound realistic!Of course, in the end, Iris still had some confidence in Leon.She knew that Leon opened an imperial green before. It was even an incredibly rare Four-Colored Jadeite!With Leon's eyes and his skills, Leon might actually be able to open a top-quality jade!However, 21 million was no small number. The jadestone in front of them was much smaller than the Four-Colored Jadeite from before. Even if Leon really did manage to get a clear or Three-Colored Jadeite, it might not make up the sum it was sold for!Leon did not care about the mockery he was getting from around him. He looked at Mister Vynall, "Mister Vynall, take my card! Open it up!""Yes, will d
"He's done for!""He got nothing at all!""This brat lost big time!"There was immediately a stir in the crowd.Three-Colored Jadeites were always rare. It was not easy to open one at all.They already expected that.However, Leon just spent such a huge sum on that jadestone, and could not even get one.They were quite shocked!"Leon, I already told you just now. The redness in the outer layer of that jadestone was just too dim. There's no way it would be top-quality jade. You refused to listen to me! Surely you believe me now?" Andy said with some amusement.He was still a little jealous that Leon managed to open a Four-Colored Jadeite earlier.Yet, Leeon refused to listen to his advice and lost a huge amount. He could not help but feel happy about it!Of course, it was not just him. Penny did not think that Leon would be able to get a top-quality jade either!However, she was not as happy about it as Andy. She just felt some pity for Leon. She felt pity that Leon lost suc
"Sir, why are you here?"Vynall was shocked at the man's appearance. He hurried over.The man was no one else but the eldest son of the ancient martial arts family, the Westwoods, Raphael Westwood. The shop they were in belonged to the Westwoods, and Raphael was usually in charge of it."I heard that someone opened an amazing Four-Colored Jadeite, so I came over to have a look," Raphael said calmly.He received the news when Leon spent over 43 million to buy eighteen clear accessories.After that, Leon just casually picked out a low-leveled jadestone and managed to get a rare Four-Colored Jadeite. It signified an incredibly good eye. It was better than most of the top-level experts they had!He was incredibly curious, so he hurried over, wanting to get to know the jade expert.However, the moment he arrived, he heard everyone mocking Leon for opening an incredibly bad jade. So, he could not resist stepping up."Raphael, what do you mean? Isn't this just a trash piece of jade?"
"It's clear?""Underneath that trashy red, it was an extraordinary jade!""How is this possible?!"Everyone was shocked when they saw that.All of them were customers who had some knowledge of the craft. There were some experts among them as well.The moment Raphael shaved off the outer layer to reveal its true form, they immediately recognized the clear and radiant quality of the jade. It was a top-quality one!"I-Impossible!" Willie was shocked. He could not believe his eyes.Initially, he thought that the stone would be trash if there was not a Three-Colored Jade inside.Yet, he never would have expected that something this amazing was underneath it all!Was that not unbelievable?If he did not witness it himself, he would have refused to believe it!"How could this be?"Both Andy and Penny were shocked as well.The two of them thought that Leon was delusional when Leon kept on saying that this was top-quality jade!Yet, they finally understood that Leon was speaking t
"Who's saying that this is just a regular clear purple jade? I don't mind telling all of you, but this color and transparency put it at a level of royal purple!" At that moment, Raphael let out a cold laugh.At those words, it was as if a bomb was dropped in the middle of the crowd."What?""I-is that really a royal purple?!""How could that be?!"Everyone was shocked. They exchanged looks of complete surprise with each other.No matter what color a jade was, there was a top-quality one for each color. Of the greens, the highest quality one would be an imperial green!Of the purple ones, royal purple would be the best!"Mister Westwood, are you sure this is a royal purple?""C-could you be mistaken?"Some people were still doubtful.Many jade shops were much bigger than those in Springfield City in the Southern region. So, most of them saw top-quality products.The jade in front of them did seem like it could be a royal blue!However, that piece of royal blue was just to
"It's that expensive?!" Everyone hissed. Gold had standard pricing, but jade did not. Of all the jades, other than those that were no longer found, imperial greens were the most expensive!However, royal purple was not much cheaper.During ancient times, purple signified the color of royalty. It was a symbol of majesty and prosperity. Royalty even wore purple clothes. So, the royal purple jade's pricing was still high!Other than that, the piece of jade in front of them was quite large. No one ever found such a large royal purple jade before, so Raphael could not estimate the price of the jade!"Hey, are you selling this?""I'll offer a hundred million!""I'll offer you a hundred and fifteen million!"At that moment, all of the people there immediately reacted. Two middle-aged men hurriedly offered a price to buy that incredibly rare piece of jade.As for the others, they were not rich enough to afford it, so they merely looked at the bidding war in disappointment."Sir, if
"Sir, my name's Raphael Westwood. I'm in charge of this shop! You have a good eye for jade, I'm quite impressed! This is my card. If you don't mind, I'd like to be your friend."Raphael quickly pushed back his disappointment as he handed his name card to Leon.His purpose for rushing over this time was to get to know Leon.Leon chose two jadestones on that day. The first one yielded a top-quality, Four-Colored Jade. The other one was a royal purple, which was even more rare!Leon's eyes were practically unmatched. He was even more intent on becoming Leon's friend!"Yes, alright. This is my card," Leon nodded.He had a decent impression of Raphael, so he did not reject getting to know the man. After that, he produced his card from his pocket and exchanged contacts with Raphael."Mister Wolf, you have such a good eye. Could you help me see if there are any more top-quality jades around here?" Raphael said as he pointed at a few of the jadestones on display, wanting to ask Leon for
"That-"Raphael was stunned at the scene.He just wanted to test Leon's skills to see if Leon could pick out another top-quality jade.He never expected the bidding war that would occur. Everyone seemed to think it was a golden opportunity.That was not the most important point. The most important thing was that their shop was a business. He already knew that this jadestone could have a top-quality jade inside. If he refused to sell it, it would end up ruining his shop's reputation!"Are those people crazy?"Leon was dumbfounded.Raphael and he just had a casual conversation. He did not expect the crowd spectating them to take the opportunity to start a bidding war.It exceeded his expectations!"It's fine, just let them bid for it," Raphael did not seem to care.After all, the jade stones in that area were meant to be sold anyway. Whether it was a top-quality jade or not, he would not damage the reputation of his store just for something so small."I'll offer two million
"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
