"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
"Whatever! Since the Thompsons are already helping, there's no place for us Scammells to get involved!" Patrick sighed gloomily.He thought that Leon needed to rely on the Scammells' help to expand his company and was planning to use this as leverage to make Leon cut ties with Cynthia, Ruth, and Snow to focus on Iris. To his bewilderment, Leon managed to win the favor of the all-mighty Thompsons and did not need the Scammells' help at all.The realization that he overestimated the Scammells' importance and underestimated Leon's ability overwhelmed him with disappointment."Leon, there's never too much advertising. Since Grandpa has agreed to help, let's get the Scammells to help as well!" Iris said."Well, if it's not too troublesome, I'd appreciate it," Leon said."Forget it! The Scammells will stay out of this!" Patrick said coldly.The Thompsons were the head of all powerful families in the southern region and since Angus already extended invitations to all families on behalf
"Okay. I'll try talking to Yuri later," Hope rose within Leon.He already decided to give up on the Angel's Fruit owned by the Martells, but Iris's advice sparked an idea in him. Though he did not possess the power to get the Angel's Fruit from the Martells, it would be an easy task for the Thompsons."No!" Patrick shook his head and rejected Iris's suggestion."No? Why not?" Leon froze."You don't know this, but the Martells are connected to the Southern Boss! The Thompsons had some issues with the Southern Boss in the past and though the Martells don't have the guts to turn the Thompsons down, the Thompsons will pay quite a price for forcing the Martells to sell the Angel's Fruit to them!" Patrick explained."What? The Southern Boss again?" Leon was shocked.Earlier that morning in the black market, he just got into a conflict with a subordinate of the Southern Boss, the Black Gorilla.To his bewilderment, Charlie, who he just injured, shared a connection with the Southern Bos
"What? Do you have a grudge against Leon?" Charlie was slightly confused by Nigel's resentful tone when he talked about Leon."It goes beyond a grudge! He was the one who broke my legs. I'm dying to tear him to shreds!" Nigel said viciously as he pointed at his legs."I see!" Realization dawned on Charlie and since Nigel was also an enemy of Leon, the tension in Charlie's expression eased."Mister Scammell, Leon's far too young to be in the Peak Overlord State. Who on earth is he?" Charlie asked.After the duel and what Patrick said to him, Charlie was misled to think that Leon was in the Peak Overlord State.Among the younger generation of martial artists in Sky County, only the direct descendent of the most powerful family would be able to reach such a high power level.Though he never heard of any family with the name of Wolf, nor if he ever heard about Leon in the past, there were a total of five regions in Sky County and he did not know much about the other regions except fo
"By the way, why are you here, Mister Martell? Why would you be in a fight with Leon, to begin with?" Nigel asked."Well, Miss Young came to the Martells to ask for a medical herb and I fell for her at first sight," Charlie briefly mentioned how he came to offer a marriage proposal."I see! So, you are interested in Iris!" Nigel exclaimed and an idea began to form in his mind."Mister Martell, to tell you the truth, my cousin Iris loves Leon deeply to the point that she'll never give up on him! If you want to take her from Leon, I'm afraid it's not possible, unless," Nigel paused purposefully."Unless what?" Charlie asked."Unless you get rid of Loen, once and for all! Kill Leon in secret and take the opportunity to console Iris. That way, you will surely win her heart!" Nigel chuckled."That's a great idea!" Charlie's eyes lit up.He resented Leon for injuring him and it would be ideal if he could eliminate Leon in secret and win Iris's heart at the same time."Thank you for t
The call was soon answered and Master Haslewood's slender, yet powerful figure appeared on the screen."Why are you calling me, Leon?" Master Haslewood cut to the chase."Master, since I'm a member of the Dragon Corps, does that mean that I can seek their help if I'm in trouble?" Leon asked."Of course! You can always reach out to the Dragon Corps in the southern region. I'm in Springfield City, so why would you come to me instead?" Master Haslewood rolled his eyes, but then he seemed to recall something and his expression darkened. "You've been in the southern region for some time now. Are you telling me that you haven't reported to the Dragon Corps there?""Well, I'll do it when I'm free," Loen smiled sheepishly.Before Leon traveled to the southern region, Master Haslewood reminded him that he needed to report to the Dragon Corps in the southern region to start participating in missions even though Leon was not a core member.It was his duty as a member of the Dragon Corps, bu
"Contribution points? What's that? How do I get them?" Leon was confused."Contribution points are the reflection of how much a member has contributed to the Dragon Corps. I told you to get missions from the Dragon Corps in the southern region, didn't I? That's one way to obtain contribution points! With every mission you complete, you'll be rewarded contribution points per the difficulty level of the mission! Once you accumulate enough contribution points, you can exchange them with anything you want, ranging from rare training methods to valuable herbs!" Master Haslewood explained."I see!" Gasping the concept, Leon asked, "how many points do I get for completing a mission?""If it's an ordinary mission, you get a few dozen of points," Master Haslewood said."And how many points will I need to obtain the Angel's Fruit?" Leon questioned further."Probably thousands," Master Haslewood said."What?! That many?" Leon was stunned.If an ordinary mission would only earn him a few do
"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
