"Kid! How dare you poison me?!" The Poisonwielder gaped and realization dawned on him that the daggers stabbed into his palm must have contained extremely powerful poison.Not daring to wait, he immediately jabbed his compression points around his shoulder in an attempt to stop the poison from spreading.However, the Deadly Veratrum poison was far too powerful, and even when he succeeded in sealing his circulation around his arm, he only managed to slow down the spreading of the poison."What a powerful poison!" The Poisonwielder's expression darkened and gasped.He thought that Leon was foolish for daring to face him directly and did not realize until this very moment that he made a fool of himself.Leon took the chance of the Poisonwielder's attack and poisoned him instead, and the Poisonwielder felt humiliated."The Poisonwielder has been poisoned? How is that possible?!"Jaws dropped as Fletcher and the others gasped in disbelief.Like the Poisonwielder, they all thought th
"Brat, you dare to poison me, and now I'll show you what true poison looks like!" The Poisonwielder looked at Leon mockingly.He went into hiding because he needed time to produce more Reaper’s Breath to defeat the Dragon Guards and rob the Tiddertons of the motherwort.However, the poisonous plants he used for the Reaper’s Breath were rare and it was challenging to produce them by mass.He burnt through all his stock in the past two days and only ended up with three flasks of Reaper’s Breath.Since he already obtained the motherwort as he intended, the Poisonwielder wanted to leave and did not wish to waste the precious Reaper’s Breath on the Dragon Guards, but Leon's attack with the poisonous daggers completely enraged him.After being chased and attacked by the Dragon Corps repeatedly, he developed a deep grudge against the Dragon Corps, so he changed his mind and decided to eliminate Leon and the others at all costs to teach the Dragon Corps a lesson.Not holding back any lon
"This is great! Mister Wolf's Essential Detox Pills work like magic!"...Contrary to the despair felt by Fletcher and the others, Scott and the Dragon Guards from the southern region were overjoyed.Scott, Chad, and Jerry were originally frustrated that Leon was assigned as their leader. However, Leon showed that not only was he brave and brilliant, the pills he produced managed to effectively counter the Reaper’s Breath.The three finally came to realize why Alfred made such an arrangement and were all impressed by Leon."What?! How is this possible?!" The Poisonwielder gaped in disbelief when he noticed that Leon, Scott, and a few others remained unaffected by the poison.The Reaper’s Breath was his ace card and he never missed his targets. To his bewilderment, the Reaper’s Breath did not work at all on Leon and the others, which caught him by surprise."Poisonwielder, face your demise! Die"Scott, Oliver, and the others snapped out of it and instantly surrounded the Poisonw
"Baam!"Scott's fiery fist shattered the wall before the Poisonwielder, sending rocks and dirt flying in the air toward Oliver and the others, who were then forced to back away.Taking advantage of the distance, the Poisonwielder charged toward Leon at the speed of lightning.After observing the earlier exchange, he realized that Leon was the leader of the Dragon Guards from the southern region with extremely high status, so he would be able to apply great damage to the Dragon Corps by killing Leon.On top of that, Leon exposed the Poisonwielder's plan and countered the effect of his Reaper’s Breath, effectively ruining the Poisonwielder’s scheme repeatedly.The Poisonwielder was determined to vent his anger by eliminating Leon before leaving, as his resentment toward Leon reached its peak."No! He wants to attack Mister Wolf! Stop him!" Scott immediately noticed the Poisonwielder’s intention and was stunned.He immediately waved off the dirt before them and hurried after the Po
"Scott, you asked for this! Since you people want to die, I won't hold back! Behold, the power of a Platinum Martial Technique! Tiger’s Roar!" The Poisonwielder narrowed his eyes coldly.Instead of cowering before the Dragon Guards, he took a step forward and blasted two powerful waves of true energy from his palms.His energy combined with the air around him and seemed to have transformed into an image of a fierce tiger before the Dragon Guards' eyes.Like training methods, there were levels in Martial Technique as well and they were categorized into Sky, Earth, Platinum, and Gold.The higher the level, the more powerful the Martial Technique would be.The Hellish Fiery Punch Scott wielded was a Gold Martial Technique that could amplify the energy of a martial artist; however, the Tiger’s Roar was a Platinum Martial Technique, which was distinctively more powerful than the Hellish Fiery Punch."Damn it! That's a Platinum Martial Technique! Back away!" Scott gasped and immediatel
"Yeah! Mister Wolf, run!"...Oliver and Abraham snapped out of it and instantly realized how important Leon was.Determined to protect Loen at all costs, they all followed Fletcher's and Randall's lead to lung themselves at the Poisonwielder despite their injuries in the hope of buying Leon time to escape."Run? Why should I run?" Leon asked calmly.Though his power level was hardly considered high, he had a few tricks up his sleeves and had no fear of the Poisonwielder. However, since the other Dragon Guards were tangled up with the Poisonwielder, Leon was concerned that he might injure the others by accident if he attacked the Poisonwielder."What?!" The others gasped in disbelief.The Dragon Corps lost their leverage and was bound to fail, so they could only try their best to stall the Poisonwielder so that Leon could escape, yet Leon stubbornly refused to run.Leon's reaction took them by surprise and before any of them could react, what he saw next shook them to their cor
"Die, kid!" The Poisonwielder narrowed his eyes viciously when he saw that Leon intended on facing him directly.He could tell that Leon was in the Emperor State at best during the earlier exchange and did not see Leon as a threat at all.'How dare a man as weak as he is face up to me directly? He must have a death wish!' He thought as he strengthened the energy around his fist to strike Leon in full force."It's over! Mister Wolf's going to die!"Fletcher, Scott, and the others instantly paled in despair.If none of them could defeat the Poisonwielder, there was no way that Leon could accomplish such an impossible mission and the only possible outcome would be Leon's inevitable demise.Devastation filled their heart and just as they were about to give up, what happened next shook them to their cores."Baam!"The power of the Cuff of Doom tore through the Poisonwielder's attack and darted toward his arm and chest fiercely."Snap!"The Poisonwielder grunted in pain and before
"Mister Wolf has a secret weapon!""No wonder!"...Realization dawned on Fletcher, Scott, and the others as they noticed that the golden cuff Leon was holding must be a grade-two Almighty Weapon at the very least.Though Leon managed to defeat the Poisonwielder mainly because of the weapon, Almighty Weapons were extremely hard to come by and the fact that Loen managed to obtain a grade-two Almighty Weapon was a showcase of his power.The Dragon Corps was set for failure, but Leon managed to apply great damage to the Poisonwielder on his own and turned the tables, putting the Dragon Guards at an advantage.The devastation they felt earlier was instantly replaced by pleasant surprise."Fletcher, Scott, the Poisonwielder has been injured! Capture him while you can!" Leon alerted the others.After making an offering for the past month, he only managed to accumulate a strike in the Intermediate Almighty State and he already used it up.Naturally, Leon had another weapon apart from
"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
