"Really?! That's great! You're such a brilliant doctor, Mister Wolf!" Angus burst out laughing.Both Yuri and Raphael were excited as well and started grinning from ear to ear.Afterward, Angus took out his checkbook and wrote a cheque for 130 million."Mister Wolf, we can never repay you for what you've done for Roanne. Consider this my gesture of gratitude. Please accept it," Angus said sincerely as he handed the cheque to Leon."That won't be necessary, Mister Thompson! Thank you for the gesture, but I'm not a professional doctor and don't accept payment, so please keep the cheque!" Leon rejected it without even looking at the cheque."No way! You did so much to save Roanne and even used up an extremely rare piece of Ganoderma! I can't let you do that without getting something in return!" Angus said."It's fine. Really! These are my own rules! If you want to thank me, just help me out when I'm in need in the future," Leon insisted.A thousand-year-old Ganoderma was rare, but
"Marketing? Mister Wolf, why are you talking about?"Angus was confused by the conversation between Leon and Raphael."Here's the thing, Mister Thompson, I've recently established a pharmaceutical firm and plan on selling some alchemical pills on a sales drive. If possible, I'd like the Thompsons' help with the marketing," Leon explained."I see! Sure. That won't be an issue. I'll handle it!" Realization dawned on Angus and agreed without hesitation.Both Raphael and he thought that Loen was selling ordinary supplements, but to clarify the marketing scheme, Angus asked, "Mister Wolf, what kind of pills are you selling and how would you like for us to market them?""Cynthion Group mainly sells Energy Nurturing Pills that'll help martial artists in the Peak Emperor State or below to train more efficiently," Leon briefly explained the effect of the Energy Nurturing Pills."What?""You said that the Energy Nurturing Pills can help with martial artists' training?""Really?!"Angus,
"Yuri, what are you doing?"Angus was confused when he saw Yuri sitting down on the ground.Raphael, too, was confused and wondered if the Energy Nurturing Pill was effective.'But how's this possible?' He thought to himself.During their confusion, Yuri allowed the energy to circulate within his body and stood up."Yuri, what's going on?" Angus asked."Dad, the pill works perfectly! I just took one and can already feel I'm making progress! If I take a few more in the future, I might be able to get to the Intermediate Emperor State soon!" Yuri said in excitement as he complimented the Energy Nurturing Pill.He was at the very top of the Initial Emperor State and was extremely close to ascending to the next level. The pure energy in the Energy Nurturing Pill was helpful with breakthroughs and since Yuri was a genius unlike any other, it was normal for him to make progress with just one pill."What?! Can it be a coincidence?" Angus could not believe what he just heard."It's not
"Mister Wolf, are you saying that the Pure Energy Pill can get me to the Overlord State right away? Am I hearing you right?" Raphael gasped.Both Angus and Yuri were shocked as well.Getting to the next power level was always challenging for all martial artists and the higher the level, the more difficult it would be to reach, so they all had a hard time accepting that there were pills that guaranteed a breakthrough."You heard me right! I happen to have Advanced Pure Energy Pills with me. I'll give you one! If you have doubts about the Pure Energy Pills, you can just try one!" Leon said, before taking a pill out of a flask and handing it to Raphael."Sure. Let's see what this pill is as powerful as you claim it to be!" Raphael accepted the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.The energy within the Pure Energy Pill was far purer and stronger compared to that of an Energy Nurturing Pill.Raphael immediately sat down on the ground to allow the energy to surge through his body.
"Well, I'm afraid not! Mister Thompson, you have already reached the Emperor State, so the Pure Energy Pills won't work on you." Leon shook his head.The Advanced Pure Energy Pills could transform Semi-Overlords into the Overlord State and greatly increase the chance of a breakthrough for martial artists in the Overlord State. However, the pills practically had little to no effect on martial artists in the Emperor State."I see," Yuri was disappointed, but soon recovered from it. the Energy Nurturing Pill brought him closer to a breakthrough and he knew that with a sufficient supply of Energy Nurturing Pills, he would be able to ascend to the next level within two to three months, so there was no need to rush."Mister Wolf, the Energy Nurturing Pill works well as well. Can you sell me more of that?" Yuri said.Since the Pure Energy Pill did not affect him, he could only compromise and purchase more Energy Nurturing Pills."Sure! I don't carry that many pills with me, though, so I
"Um," Leon hesitated and fell into silence at Angus's request.The Thompsons were the head of all the powerful families in the southern region and if he agreed to sell the company shares to them, Cynthion Group would be able to grow rapidly and avoid certain troubles with their help; however, the Thompsons' help could be a double-edged sword.Leon was hardly in any position of power compared to the Thompsons and the power imbalance would eventually create a dependence on the Thompsons, which was not a situation Leon would like to be in.He felt that it was sufficient for him and Cynthia to manage the company and he did not wish for the share to be dispersed, which could impact the company negatively in the future."I'm sorry, Mister Thompson, but Cynthion Group has no plan in selling our shares. I thank you for your appreciation, though," Leon said."Oh, alright, then." Angus felt that it was a shame, but knew that there was nothing he could do if Leon was reluctant to sell the sh
Leon noticed the look in Yuri's eyes. His eyes darted between Yuri and Snow as realization dawned on him, but he did not say make any comment about it."Mister Thompson, if this is all, I'll be leaving now!" Leon said, before turning to leave with Snow."Mister Wolf, please wait!" Elder Swire, who was standing in the distance, called out to Leon and hurried over."Elder Swire? Why are you still here?" Angus's expression darkened with displeasure.Due to Elder Swire's misjudgment, Roanne came close to dying, and if it were not for Leon, his daughter would be lost and he would make Elder Swire pay for it."I'm sorry, Mister Thompson. This is all my fault. I lack the skills and came close to killing Miss Thompson," Elder Swire apologized sincerely."It's fine! Roanne's fine now, so I'll let this go. Just leave!" Angus scoffed.He knew that the field of medicine had a broad spectrum and it was normal for anyone to make mistakes. On top of that, Angus knew that he shared the blame to
"Elder Swire, if you want to learn it, I'll teach you the Eternity Compression Method," Leon said.Training methods, especially ones of high level, would cause chaos and might even threaten his safety if he taught anyone who asked for it; however, treatment methods were different because they could be used to benefit society and those in need. Since Elder Swire seemed earnest, Leon saw no issue in teaching him the Eternity Compression Method."Mister Wolf, are you saying that you'll teach me the Eternity Compression Method? Am I hearing you right?" Elder Swire was utterly stunned. He never expected Leon to refuse to accept him as a disciple, yet agreed to teach him the Eternity Compression Method.It was so far beyond his imagination that Elder Swire was struggling to believe what he just heard."You heard me right! Just get up. I'll teach you the Eternity Compression Method!" Leon smiled."That's great! Thank you, Mister Wolf. Thank you so much," Overjoyed, Elder Swire bowed his
"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
