"Leon, what are you doing? Don't come any closer!" Terrified, Nigel kept backing away."What do you think I'm doing? I've given you the chance to apologize, but you wouldn't take it! If that's the case, there's no mercy for you!" Leon said coldly, before stomping onto Nigel's legs in full force without hesitation."Don't!" Nigel gaped in terror, but before he could say anything else, his bones were shattered. He wailed in misery and passed out immediately."How dare you, Leon?! Just wait. We'll make you pay!" Eugene glared daggers at Leon as he watched Leon destroy Nigel's legs. Despite how desperate he was to tear Leon into shreds, he was severely injured and could not possibly defeat Leon."I'll be waiting to see how you are going to make me pay! Consider this a warning. I won't do anything else to the two of you out of my respect for the first bloodline, but if something like this happens again, I'll eliminate every single one of the members in the second bloodline!" Leon warned
"Leon has a defensive took and only managed to injure me with its help," Eugene explained."A tool? I see!" Realization dawned on Rick as he finally comprehended how Leon could defeat Eugene, who was in the Peak Overlord State."Dad, Leon broke Nigel's legs! You have to avenge Nigel!" Eugene gritted out."What?! Damn you, Leon Wolf! How dare you?!" Enraged, Rick waved his arm and fired up his true energy to attack Leon."Hang on!" Damian jolted and took a step forward to stand before Leon, "Uncle Rick, Nigel was the one at fault here. It's bad enough that Eugene wouldn't listen to reasons and insist on bullying Leon, are you going to bully a junior as well?" Damian questioned sharply."So what if I do? He broke Nigel's legs and injured Eugene deeply. Can't you tell how ruthless he is? I'm going to destroy him to avenge Nigel and Eugene!" Rick roared furiously."It looks like you're determined to make everything his fault! Nigel was the one who started all this and Leon was only d
"What? Leon, have you gone mad?" Damian could not believe what Leon just said.Though Leon had a defensive tool and managed to defeat Eugene with its help, Rick was one of the two martial artists in the Emperor State in the family since he reached the level a few months ago.There was a gigantic gap between the Peak Overlord State and the Emperor State. Since Leon was not on a high enough level, he would not be able to utilize the tool to its full potential and it was considered impressive that Leon managed to fend off the attack from a martial artist in the Peak Overlord State.Damian simply did not think that Leon would be able to do the same to Rick, who was in the Emperor State, and to rely on a defensive tool alone would be deadly."I'm completely sane! Don't worry, Damian. Taking care of this old twat will be a piece of cake!" Leon said confidently.As Damian predicted, the Mirror of Sovereign could only fend off attacks from martial artists in the Peak Overlord State or lowe
"What's the meaning of this, Rick? The second bloodline has gone so far and sunk so low that you would bully juniors?! Do you have no respect for the first bloodline at all?!" Patrick roared and glared at Rick coldly."I disagree with you, Patrick! Leon broke Nigel's legs and injured Eugene in the most ruthless manner! I just want to seek justice for them. How am I wrong?"? Rick protested."Enough with your excuses! Nigel started this and Eugene came after Leon without listening to reason. Even if they were injured, they had it coming!" Patrick said.Though he agreed that Leon had gone slightly too far, Patrick's patience for the second bloodline ran out ever since they plotted to take over power during his birthday party. The fact that Leon injured Eugene and Nigel avenged the first bloodline, in some way."Patrick, do you insist on protecting Leon?" Rick's expression darkened."I do! Rick, don't think for a second that I don't know what's going on inside your head! You are just
"Hang on! I object to this!" Leon stepped forward."Leon? What is it?" Patrick was taken by surprise.He forced Rick and the others to leave to protect Leon, and he was shocked that Leon would object to the arrangement when Rick already gave up."Elder Scammell, rear a tiger and you will court disaster! I think that you should be more decisive and put an end to this. You need to nip danger in the bud!" Leon said sincerely.Ever since Eugene tried to replace Damian, Leon could tell that Eugene and Rick were both blinded by their ambition. The fact that Nigel targeted Leon was proof that they were frustrated about the failure and given the chance, they would cause trouble again.As a precaution, Leon thought that Patrick should cut his ties with the second bloodline or eliminate them."What?!"Rick, Eugene, and Nigel paled in unison.Though Leon was being subtle, they could tell that Leon was trying to convince Patrick to eliminate them.Shocked by how ruthless Leon could be, th
"Leon, you better know your place. I'm letting you go because Patrick said so! If you keep trying to create conflict between the Scammells, I won't spare you!" Rick roared in rage."Like you can hurt me! What a joke!" Leon scoffed and ignored Rick's threat."Why you!" Furious, Rick gathered his energy in his fist and was about to attack."Come at me, you old twat!" Leon snorted and was about to retrieve the Potential Energy Force."Both of you, shut up!" Patrick shouted and stopped the two, "Leon, I've made myself clear. This ends here! Rick and the others lost their ways for a bit, but they know that they are wrong now. Stop meddling!" Patrick said coldly."But," Leon wanted to argue, but Patrick interrupted him right away."That’s enough! This is my final decision!" Patrick said decisively.Not only was Rick his brother by blood, but Rick's status and influence on the family also came second to him, and tearing the Scammells apart would not benefit Patrick in any way."Oh oka
Nigel's words stunned Patrick and the others."Leon, is that true? Are you cheating on Iris?"Patrick, Damian, and Penny immediately turned to look at Leon in disbelief."Well," Leon did not expect Nigel to know about him and Cynthia and was caught off-guard, so he did not know how to explain himself.Patrick's expression darkened at Leon's silence. "Is Nigel telling the truth?!""No. Elder Scammell, Cynthia is just a good friend of mine. She isn't my girlfriend," Leon said hesitantly.Though he knew that Cynthia was determined to continue this relationship, he still wished for her to find someone else she loved and forget about him.Iris and Cynthia were both wonderful women and he should consider himself lucky to have any one of them, so he never intended to date them both at the same time. It was unfair to anyone involved and he could not be so selfish.Leon never changed his mind about it and because of that, he never truly accepted Cynthia as his girlfriend."Good!" Patri
"Damn you, Leon, how dare you cheat on Iris behind her back?! How could you?!" Patrick glared daggers at Leon."It's not what you think, Elder Scammell, let me explain," Leon wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Patrick because he could say anything."It's all out in the open now and I don't want to hear any excuse!" Patrick roared and turned to Iris. "Iris, did you hear that? Leon's seeing another woman behind your back. How despicable! You must break up with him right this instant!" Patrick was increasingly agitated as he spoke."Um, Grandpa, calm down. I know about this, so Leon isn't cheating behind my back," Iris said sheepishly.She did not expect the situation to escalate to this extent and did not know how to handle it."You know about this? What do you mean?" Patrick froze in shock, while Damian and Penny exchanged confused looks."Well, I approved Cynthia's relationship with Leon. Both of us are dating Leon willingly," Iris summoned the courage to confess the truth
"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
