"I've already told you this before—Miss Thompson has a condition known as the Darkness Complex, and all the Dark Energy has been trapped within her for many years now. Therefore, we can't unblock her channels willy-nilly. Now that Elder swire has unblocked her Liver Channel, all the Dark Energy is coursing through the channel right into her heart," Leon sighed. The Liver Channel led into the Pericardial Channel, which was the main channel of the outer layer of the heart—the pericardium. Initially, the Dark Energy within Roanne's body was maintained at equilibrium, and she would not be in any immediate danger so long as the Dark Energy did not surpass the threshold. However, now that the Liver Channel was unblocked, all the Dark Energy was surging right into her heart, and its consequences would be dire! "I can't believe it. It turns out Miss Thompson does have the Darkness Complex," Elder Swire was stunned to hear this. He finally realized that Leon warned him all along! Ho
"Well, Mister Thompson, since you're done with the treasure, I'll be off now!" Leon reached out and grabbed the Spiritual Pearl out of the air, then turned and strode out the door without a second glance. Not only did Angus question his capabilities, but he even threatened him time and time again. Therefore, Leon was not fond of this man at all, and considering the Dark Energy already infiltrated Roanne's heart, there was no point in him staying any longer. "No! you can't leave, Mister Wolf!" Yuri was the first to break out of his stupor and quickly chased after Leon. "Is there anything else I can help you with, Mister Thompson?" Leon asked quizzically. "Mister Wolf, please, I beg you—save my sister," Yuri pleaded. "Mister Thompson, it's not that I don't want to, but now that the Dark Energy has invaded her heart, there's nothing else I can do. I'm sorry to say this, but you'll have to seek help elsewhere," Leon said, shaking his head. Although he brought Iris and Damian
"Mister Wolf, please, help us," Yuri, too, got on his knees after both his parents. "There's no other way," Leon let out a bitter smile and was about to turn the three of them down when all of a sudden, a lightbulb went off in his head. However, after some hesitation, he decided to swallow his words. "Did you think of another solution, Mister Wolf?" Yuri perked up, a sliver of hope igniting in his eyes when he sensed Leon's hesitation. Even Angus and Vivian were staring at him with expectant looks, hoping to hear the answer they wanted. Leon could not bear to disappoint them once more. He let out a sigh and replied, "Well, there's one way to do this, but it's too difficult—not realistic at all." "What is it?" "Mister Wolf, please tell us." The three of them perked up as expressions of excitement crossed their faces. "Well, truth be told, Miss Thompson's condition is a little special. I'm guessing that the Dark Energy within her has yet to fully invade her heart, so w
"Um," Leon fell silent as he contemplated this. He knew that the Sunlit Herb was one of the rarest among the medicinal herbs and that there was no way the Thompsons would be able to find it in time. however, Angus' query reminded him that there was still the possibility of using another herb in replacement of the Sunlit Herb. "I guess that's our best shot!" Leon decided after some thought. "Will this work, Mister Wolf?" Angus could not help asking, his expression delighted. "Well, a herb that's around five centuries old isn't going to work, but I have about three-quarters left of a thousand-year-old Ganoderma. If we use it in replacement of the Sunlit Herb coupled with the Light Convergence Circle, it just might work," Leon explained. Herbs that were thousands of years old had the same properties as elite medicinal herbs, and the Ganoderma also possessed Light Energy conserving effects. Coupled with the formation of a Light Convergence Circle, there was a chance that they c
Leon walked into the backyard, found a spot where the Light Energy was most concentrated, and arranged the 36 jadeites into a Light Convergence Circle. At this point, it was noon, when the sun shone the brightest, and this would allow the Light Convergence Circle to work its full potential! After setting up the Light Convergence Circle, Leon grabbed hold of an unconscious Roanne and strode into the center of the circle, then sat down with his legs crossed. Angus, Vivian, and the rest were given instructions to remain outside the circle, watching, and were not allowed to step into the circle no matter what! Meanwhile, Leon remained seated in the center and took out the jadeite tablet he used to bring everywhere he went, then placed it at the core to activate the Light Convergence Circle. The Light Energy surrounding them quickly concentrated to the center as though tugged by an invisible force, and solidified into beams of blinding energy, surging into the Light Convergence C
"How impressive! Is that the true power of the Eternity Compression Method?!"Outside the Light Convergence Circle, Elder Swire gaped as he watched Leon through the fog.As one of the best doctors in the southern region, he knew about the Eternity Compression Method and that it was a long-lost method from ancient times.He watched as Leon summoned the fire dragon with the method and the others were all shaken to the core by the sight of the fire dragon formed by a powerful aura.They marveled at Leon's skills and contrary to their excitement, Leon paled as his heart sank.The pure light energy was rushing into Roanne's body through his fingers, combining itself with the dark energy smoothly. However, his spiritual energy was reaching its limits when only one-third of the dark energy within Roanne's body was only neutralized, and he was about to cave."It's over! I guess I wasn't capable of this after all," Drenched in sweat, Leon's expression darkened.If he gave up, not only wo
Once she was no longer in life-threatening danger, Roanne regained consciousness and opened her eyes."You're finally awake, Miss Thompson!" Leon sighed a breath of relief and beamed.The dark energy within her body was completely neutralized and she successfully regained consciousness, which meant that it was right for him to replace the Sunlit Herb with Ganoderma and the Light Convergence Circle.The weight on his shoulders was finally lifted."Thank you, Leon," Roanne smiled shyly and stared at Leon gratefully.Though she lost consciousness earlier, she was aware of her surrounding and knew that it was Leon who saved her life. If it were not for him, she would have perished by now."You're welcome. I'm just fulfilling the duty of a doctor," Leon was slightly taken aback by her intimate tone but did not pay it much mind. "Miss Thompson, please sit up. I'll unblock your Secondary Channel and Supreme Channel now. Once that's done, you'll be completely cured.""Sure," she said an
"Leon, what should I do? It burns," Roanne flushed and sweated as agony took over her expression."Miss Thompson, please try to allow your energy to circulate as you would in training. Let's see if you can absorb the energy inside you," Leon said hastily.Roanne was trained from a young age and was no stranger to martial arts. Under Leon's guidance, she sat with her legs crossed and focused on absorbing the pure energy within her.Unfortunately, the method past down in the Thompson lineage leaned toward the light nature and was not suitable for women. On top of that, Roanne had a rare Darkness Complex, so she only managed to absorb a small portion of the energy after trying."How could this happen?" Leon paled.He could tell that the method Roanne was training with contradicted her complex and was far too ineffective to absorb the pure energy within her body.This would not be harmful if she were merely training to be stronger. However, the tremendous energy gathered inside her b
"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
