Harvey scolded coldly."Apologize? Who's he to receive an apology for someone like me? Not a chance!" Cynthia did not accept it in the slightest."You..." Smoke nearly emitted from Harvey's nose, and he was just about to say something when Leon interrupted him."I don't need an apology! I just want to go home a little earlier, and I hope the Shears won't put too much pressure on me!" Leon snorted coldly before turning around to leave. He did not want to be involved with them anymore."Don't leave, Mister Wolf!" Harvey was shocked and he immediately hurried forward to stop Leon."What is it now, Mister Shear?" Leon asked calmly."Mister Wolf, we're sorry for the earlier misunderstanding. We shouldn't have doubted your medical skills, and above all, we shouldn't have chased you away. We were in the wrong, and I wish to apologize to you on my grandfather's behalf. I hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive us this once and come back with us to treat my grandmother..." Harvey bow
Harvey knew full well in his heart that Leon would not have refused so firmly if his sister did not get into a potential altercation with Leon earlier. Like it or not, the offender had to be the one to ask for Leon's forgiveness, and it was only when Cynthia apologized that there might be room for them to maneuver in that issue!"You're asking me to kneel for him? Like hell I will! You're free to do these crazy things if you want, but don't drag me into it!" Cynthia gritted her pearly-white teeth."Cynthia! Do you have any idea how critical Grandma's situation is right now? Her life is in imminent danger, and I can't even begin to think what would happen if Mister Wolf doesn't help! Do you want Grandma to die?" Harvey glared at Cynthia and was about to snap at her stubbornness."I..." Cynthia felt thunderstruck. She has always lived a high life and was pampered by everyone, so it was inevitable that she would be stubborn to a certain degree. However, the exhorting by her brother fin
"It's okay. What's important is that you've done your best. We'll remember your kindness for the rest of our lives regardless of what the result is!" Benedict said solemnly.Although he was very worried about his wife's condition, Leon has already assured that he was about 60-70 percent confident. When it came to medical matters, such a high degree of confidence generally meant that nothing unpleasant would happen."Where there's life, there's death. Whether or not I'll survive this is all up to fate. Please don't feel like you have to bear a huge burden, Mister Wolf." Phoebe smiled kindly. She was very old already, and her age meant that she saw the circle of life over and over again around her. If she could not be cured, she would have been satisfied with the life that she lived."Alright. Don't worry, everyone. I'll give it my all!" Leon smiled, then he motioned for Phoebe to stretch out her wrist so he could take Phoebe's pulse.The very basis of alternative medicine was observ
"How..." Benedict stumbled backward as if he was struck by lightning, and he felt as if his heart sank deep into the arctic sea."B*stard! You quack! You killed my grandmother! I'll kill you..." Cynthia snapped out of her sadness and attacked Leon madly."Cynthia, stop! Don't be so impetuous!" Benedict yelled out loud to stop Cynthia."But Grandpa! He killed Grandma! I won't forgive him for this..." Cynthia burst into tears and cried out in grief."It's not his fault... Your grandmother already left her life and death up to fate..." Benedict burst into tears. His eyes were filled with sorrow and his melancholy was rubbing off on everyone.Those who were there could see that he was much more brokenhearted than Cynthia was."What are…you guys…doing… Madam Shear... She's fine. She... She's almost fully healed..." Leon did not know whether to laugh or cry. His voice was weak, and he only managed to squeeze a couple of words from his teeth.His voice was not loud, but it was as if a
"However, I must clarify one point. Madam Shear's condition has improved significantly, but she is still not completely cured." Leon gave a bitter smile.There were some unpleasant incidents during the treatment because he was only 60-70 percent certain at the time and had no control over the situation."Are you still not completely cured? Did you only treat the symptoms rather than the underlying cause, leaving room for a future recurrence?" Benedict was startled, and his joy dimmed slightly as a result.Harvey and Cynthia felt the same way and were concerned about the situation."No, that is not what I mean! I had previously completely cured her brain infection, so there is virtually no chance of a recurrence. But there's only so much I can do. I can't help her repair her nerve damage, and she may have to live with a wheelchair or crutches..." Leon was embarrassed.If his refinement was high enough, he could actually use spiritual energy to repair Phoebe's damaged nerves, accord
"This might be may be difficult for some of the other families, but it's super easy for them!" Graham said."Ahh, that explains it," Leon was surprised and only understood then."To be honest, Mister Wolf, we have a true Panax ginseng plant that's more than three-hundred-and-sixty years old! As for other precious medicinal materials, please just say the word if you need anything else and I'll have someone prepare it immediately," Benedict said with a smile."Alright. I'll have it written down for you," Leon nodded. He then found some paper and a pen before writing down a prescription and handing it over to Benedict.In addition, he also instructed Benedict to find an earthenware pot for boiling the medication, amongst other things such as coal and the like.Before long, Harvey and several guards came over with all the equipment and medicinal ingredients that Leon needed. It included the wild Panax ginseng that was more than three centuries old.Before boiling the herbs concoction
"Ah! Is this the so-called alchemy that used to exist in ancient times? I had quite the eye-opening experience today!" Benedict laughed and looked at Leon with admiration. Harvey and Cynthia reacted the same way too. Today was the first time in history that they have seen the mysterious alchemy technique, so it was easy to imagine the kind of shock they felt in their hearts!"You flatter me too much. It's not that big of a feat to deserve such recognition..." Leon's face turned red, and he was a little ashamed of being praised.As everyone guessed, what he did earlier was not merely boiling medicine, but alchemy. Compared with boiling medicine the ordinary way, alchemy was several times better than that, for the herbs' medicinal properties could be better extracted. However, it was actually Leon's first time with alchemy. His inexperience, coupled with his unsteady heat control, eventually led to the exploding pot accident.Fortunately, those herbs have already formed into alchemica
"Cynthia, go and prepare dinner!""Leon, it's already late! Why don't you stay back for some dinner?" Benedict smiled and said."Oh, alright! I'll be troubling you then." Leon nodded with a smile. He was quite hungry after being busy for the whole day."Graham, why don't you have dinner with us too?" Benedict extended the same invite to Graham."There's no need, I'm quite busy, so I have to leave now.""Elder Shear, Mister Wolf, let's meet again in the future," Graham bid his farewells before leaving with his assistant.Once Graham's figure disappeared, Harvey seemed to have a thought before he said, "Grandfather, regarding Mister Wolf's matter, I have an idea.""What's the idea?" Benedict asked curiously."The Shears do our business in medicinal ingredients, while Mister Wolf's skills are so remarkable. If the two of us can work together in the medical field, it'll be mutually beneficial," Harvey had an intelligent glint in his eyes.Elder Shear was moved by the thought and q
"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
