"Here you are, Leon! I'm so glad to see you!" Iris beamed and hurried over."Brat, are you Miss Young's boyfriend?" Charlie scanned Leon up and down with a scowl, before realizing that Leon was Iris's boyfriend."That's right. Who are you?" Leon stared at him sharply."I'm the eldest son of the Martells, Charlie Martell!" Charlie smirked smugly."You!" Realization dawned on Leon. He already learned from Iris through the phone about what happened in the Martells Mansion, but he was clueless as to why Charlie was in the Scammells Mansion."Iris, what's going on? What happened?" Leon turned his attention to Iris."He came to make a marriage proposal," Iris explained the situation briefly."What?!" Loen was both shocked and enraged.The Angel's Fruit belonged to the Martells and it was understandable that they did not wish to sell it to Iris. However, Charlie insisted on pursuing Iris and shamelessly proposed marrying her despite knowing she had a boyfriend.Such behavior was unac
"Um," Leon paused and sobered."Kid, no one has ever dared to insult me that way. You're the first! I challenge you to a duel!" Charlie said coldly as he glared daggers at Loen."A duel? I'm not interested!" Leon scoffed and rejected the challenge."Why you! Are you scared or something?" Charlie mocked."Whatever gets you through the night. I don't have time to waste with you! Iris, let's go!" Leon ignored Charlie and was about to leave with Iris.As Iris mentioned, Charlie had the Angel's Fruit and Leon knew that it would not benefit him in any way if he caused a scene.Seeing how Leon was about to leave, Charlie felt frustrated.He was in the middle of the Scammells' territory and Leon was a part of the Scammells since he was Iris's boyfriend; if Leon refused to accept the challenge, Charlie could not possibly hurt him in the Scammells Mansion, but he was reluctant to let Leon go."You coward! If you won't accept a duel between two men, can you call yourself a man?" Charlie a
"MIster Martell, don't do it!"Patrick was shocked that Charlie and Leon decided to duel and hurried over to stop Charlie."Elder Scammell, why are you stopping me?" Charlie scowled in confusion.After the earlier exchange, he could tell that Patrick despised Leon and wanted Iris to break up with Leon to be with him instead, so Patrick should be pleased to watch as Charlie taught Leon a lesson. To his bewilderment, Patrick stopped him from fighting Leon instead and Charlie could not understand his intention."Mister Martell, you don't understand. Leon's extremely formidable and you won't win against him! Let's just let this go!" Patrick said."What?! Did you just say that I won't win against him? Elder Scammell, what kind of a joke is this?" Stunned, Charlie could hardly believe what he heard.He did not know the depth of Leon's power, but he was aware that the Scammells were only an ordinary family with a training method in the Basic Power class. Even the most talented youngster
"You'll pay for this," Patrick sighed with resignation.He warned Charlie multiple times and there was nothing else he could do since Charlie refused to believe him.'If Charlie insists on fighting Leon, I guess I'll just let him be!' He thought, 'I'm going to stand by and stop them whenever it gets too serious!'Once Patrick moved out of the way, Charlie pointed at Leon arrogantly and said, "you'll die today, brat!""Know your place!" Leon's expression darkened and he immediately walked over."Out of my respect for Miss Young, I'll give you one last chance! If you agree to leave her alone from now on, I can consider letting you go, or there'll be no mercy for you!" Charlie threatened with a sneer, as he preferred that Leon take the initiative to break up with Iris."Enough chit-chatting! Let's get started!" Leon said impatiently."If you want to die that desperately, I'll help you out with that!" Charlie's expression darkened and he immediately charged at Leon at the speed of l
"Wh- what on earth is this?" Charlie gaped when he detected Leon's true energy as he did not expect Leon to wield yet another attack toward the end of his initial attack.Before he had the time to react, Leon's Double Attack slammed against his chest.Charlie spewed blood under the impact and was instantly sent flying into the distance; a sharp pain pierced through his chest and he realized that he suffered severe internal injuries."H- How's that possible?!" Charlie landed on the ground and covered his chest in disbelief.He was certain that he would be able to injure Leon with a single blow. However, not only was Leon unscathed, he injured Charlie instead.It was far beyond his comprehension and Charlie simply could not understand how Leon managed such a thing."It's my turn now!" Leon took advantage of the situation and darted toward Charlie, who was laying on the ground."Leon, stop!" Patrick was shocked by the sight.He knew that Leon was far more powerful than Charlie and
"Mister Martell, this is your first and final warning! Iris is my woman. Try pursuing her again and I will have your head!" Leon said coldly.He was not a cruel man and since he had no personal grudge against Charlie, he would have never killed a man over a minor dispute even if Patrick did not stop him.Leon only meant to intimidate Charlie and warn him about the consequence of his actions if he tried to do the same thing again."Yeah, okay," Terrified, Charlie dared not to protest."Alright. Scram!" Leon scoffed and stepped aside.Relieved, Charlie crawled up and ran with the Angel's Fruit and his two bodyguards.Patrick felt conflicted as he watched Charlie run.He was impressed by Charlie and wanted Iris to accept Charlie's proposal. However, Charlie simply turned out to be an arrogant young man who fell short in terms of courage and talent when compared to Leon, so Patrick could not help but feel disappointed.Patrick could not deny that he was impressed by Leon's talent i
"You don't need it? Are you looking down on us, Leon Wolf?!" Patrick was furious.He decided to help Leon out of kindness because Iris asked for it, yet Leon arrogantly refused their assistance and Patrick was livid because he thought that Leon was looking down on the Scammells."Elder Scammell, that's not what I mean. You're mistaken. I've already gotten the Thompsons to help me, so that's enough for now," Leon explained.The Thompsons were extremely powerful and influential in the southern region and their support would be more than sufficient to promote the sales drive. Leon simply did not want the Scammells to waste their time when it was not necessary."The Thompsons? Are you talking about the head of all families, Thompsons?" Patrick froze."Yeah, that's right." Leon nodded."What?! How's that possible?" Patrick was stunned.He knew about the Thompsons and there was no doubt that Leon would not need the Scammells' help if he had the Thompsons' support, but he soon realized
"I wasn't fooled," Leon shook his head and was about to explain when he was interrupted by approaching footsteps.Penny hurried inside with a serious and shocked look on her face. "Grandpa, something big just happened!""What is it?"Patrick, Damian, and the others turned to look at Penny in confusion."I just received news that the Thompsons have announced via all communication channels that Cynthion Group will be selling their alchemical pills in their sales drive three days from now. On behalf of the Thompsons, Angus Thompson has invited all families in the southern region to participate," Penny explained.She knew that Iris asked for Patrick's help to advertise the alchemical pills, yet the Thompsons got ahead of them before the Scammells could act.Confused, she immediately hurried back to inform Patrick about it."What?!"The others were instantly shaken and silence fell over the living room.Sometime later, Iris was the first to snap out of it and gasped. "Leon, so you
"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
