"Rodney Spears, please follow us to the Dragon Corps headquarters for questioning!" After a moment's hesitation, Oliver and Abraham stepped forward, flanking Rodney on both sides. "What-" the smile froze on Rodney's face, but he was not the only one startled by this — even Linus and the rest were baffled. They all turned to gape at Leon, then at the two guards, unable to believe their ears. They had all initially thought that Rodney was respected and that not even the Dragon Corps dared to arrest him without solid evidence. However, they never once imagined that Oliver and Abraham would obey Leon's orders and capture him! This was unbelievable! One could only imagine their dismay at this. "What do you mean by this, Mister Jelphs? I didn't do anything, so why are you arresting me?!" Rodney snarled, unable to understand what had gone wrong.Why were the Dragon Corps guards acting so strange? "Um…" Oliver and Abraham balked at this. They were just following orders, and so n
"Rodney Spears, heed my warning. We are under Mister Wolf- I mean, the Mister Platinum Dragon Guard's orders to do this, so you'd best act smart! If not, the consequences will be dire!" Abraham snapped. He had almost let slip Leon's true identity once again. "A Platinum Dragon Guard?" Rodney furrowed his brows dubiously. Oliver and Abraham had not intended to do anything when they first arrived, but after Leon's encouragement, their attitudes had undergone a 180-degree change! Now, after hearing Abraham say that they were under the Platinum Dragon Guard's orders to do so, he could not help but wonder if this had something to do with Leon! However, he could not piece how Leon was related to the Platinum Dragon Guard. After all, Leon was still too young, and he would be out of his right mind to think Leon was the Platinum Dragon Guard Abraham had mentioned! "That's right! He was the one who sent us here, and if you continue resisting, he will chase you till the ends of the earth to
"Thud! Thud!" seeing that there was no way out of this anymore, Rick got on his knees and was followed suit by Eugene, Nigel, and the rest of the Scammells that had betrayed them. After so long, most of the other elders and the collateral descendants of the first bloodline had arrived at the scene and managed to gain control of the situation under Damian's leadership. "Patrick, this is all my fault. I'm sorry… Please… forgive us for this…" Rick pleaded for mercy. "How dare you call me by my name?! Rick, I've always been kind to you, and yet you betrayed me! Where is your conscience?" Patrick bellowed, the look in his eyes so fiery it was as though he could breathe fire at any moment. He would not be so infuriated if this had just been Rodney and Charlie's plan to devour the Scammells' assets alone — what ticked him off the most was that Rick, his own brother, had betrayed him and gone over to the dark side! Betrayal was certainly not a good feeling to harbor. Rage and di
After settling their affairs, Patrick finally dismissed everyone from this meeting. Soon, the only people that remained in the yard were Patrick, Leon, and the rest. "Leon, thank you for what you've done… If it wasn't for your help, none of us would've been able to make it out alive…" Patrick said, bowing to Leon in immense gratitude. "Don't flatter me, Grandpa! We're family, so you shouldn't have to thank me for this!" Leon quickly helped him up."Yes, we're family, but it would be better if you were willing to leave that other woman and devote your loyalty entirely to Iris," Patrick replied with a rather strange expression. After what happened this time, he had changed his mind about Leon.In the past, he used to think Leon was far less powerful than most men his age, and when Iris claimed that Leon was capable of slaughtering warriors of the Emperor State, he thought Iris had been brainwashed!Patrick never once expected that what Iris claimed would turn out to be true! H
"Iris, you can't be this naive! You can't possibly continue to tolerate Leon's infidelity like this!" Patrick was outraged to see how tolerant Iris seemed to be about Leon's unfaithfulness. He knew that Leon probably loved Iris more than the other woman. Otherwise, why would he constantly put himself in danger just to help the Scammells? Therefore, Patrick insisted that if Iris were to keep a grip on Leon's womanizing behavior, there was a significant chance that Leon would turn over a new leaf and choose to be with Iris only! However, not only was Iris unwilling to do so, she even seemed to be constantly helping Leon seek out Cynthia as though she wanted nothing more than for them to be together! This was outrageous, and Patrick could not understand what had gotten in Iris! "Grandpa, this is between Leon and me, and we will handle it ourselves. Please don't interfere in our business, okay?" Iris pleaded. As Leon's girlfriend, she was naturally unwilling to share her significan
"Oh, speaking of this, I need to talk to you in private, Grandpa." Leon suddenly recalled something. "Alright. You can come with me to the study," Patrick replied as he gestured for Damian to entertain the guests in the living room, then proceeded to lead Leon to the study on the first floor. "What is it about, Leon?" Patrick asked quizzically after shutting the door behind them. "Well, I wanted to provide you guys with some training methods…" Leon began. "Training methods? What did you have in mind?" Patrick was surprised to hear this. Did Leon manage to get his hands on some powerful cultivation methods that he wanted to pass along to them? On second thought, he might be mistaken. Leon hailed from Springfield City, but knowing their lineage, the highest cultivation method that Leon could possibly offer him was probably those that belonged to the Ultimate Progressive class! The Scammells, on the other hand, had already obtained power methods from the Basic Power clas
Patrick's heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest as he watched Leon scribble down the formula.After all, power methods that belonged to the Advanced Power class were rare to come by, and he was not convinced as to whether Leon truly possessed it or not.Besides, even if Leon's claims were true, how could he expect Leon to gift it to them without asking for anything in return? Therefore, it was understandable that he would feel skeptical and anxious at this, as he was worried that Leon would change his mind at the last moment."Alright, it's done! Behold, Grandpa, the Dispel Demon Method!" Leon exclaimed as he handed the paper to Patrick. "Splendid! I shall start practicing this right now!" Patrick declared. He could not wait to start training and witness the power of the Dispel Demon Method himself!"Don't be so impatient, Grandpa! I've prepared this Dispel Demon Method for the collateral descendants, it's actually not meant for you!" Leon quickly interrupted.
"This is splendid! I can't believe that this Thousand Gods Method is turning out to be the real deal!" Patrick was absolutely overjoyed at this. Training methods belonging to the Ultimate Power class were hard to come by in the Southern region, and many ancient families longed to get their hands on something like this! Fortunately, the Scammells were hit with a stroke of luck that blessed them with the Thousand Gods Method, and it was all because of Leon! Although Patrick was a wise man who had seen plenty during his time, he still could not help but get excited over the prospect of this amazing treasure, and could no longer remain calm! "Grandpa, please stay calm. Don't get distracted…" Leon quickly warned him. Then, he firmly pressed his palm against Patrick's back, channeling his energy into Patrick's body to attempt to calm his surging energy. He was concerned that Patrick would lose control of his emotions and subsequently, his power! Since Patrick had already begun to und
"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
