"Roanne, why don't you show everyone where your power is right now!" Leon motioned for Roanne to unleash her true energy and aura at everyone's looks of disbelief.Everyone quickly felt that Roanne's power was at the Semi Almighty State!"Alright, everyone's already seen Miss Thompson's power! Now, let's give her consume one Supreme Pure Energy Pill so we can all witness its effects!" As Leon said that, he took out a Supreme Pure Energy Pill and gave it to Roanne.Gulp!After that, Roanne consumed the Pure Energy Pill. The Pure Energy PIll immediately turned into an incredibly strong wave of pure energy that surged into her whole body!After that, she sat right down and started to refine the true energy in her body."Do you think these Supreme Pure Energy Pills will help Miss Thompson advance?""I don't know, but Cynthion Group's Advanced Pure Energy Pills were incredibly impressive. I think that the Supreme Pure Energy Pills might perform as advertised!""I don't think I can b
"Rats! How can this be?" Both the Southern Boss and Devon's expressions darkened when they realized that Roanne attained a new level in her training. This was especially harrowing for the Southern Boss; he dreamed of the day that Cynthion Group's Supreme Pure Energy Pills would lose effect, or perhaps something would go wrong so that he could recruit everyone else to pitch a fight against Leon and get his hands on Cynthion Group in the process! However, now that Roanne successfully attained the Emperor State, every last glimmer of his hope dissipated in the wind! However, on second thought, this discovery solidified his plan to get rid of Leon and get his hands on Cynthion Group! The Supreme Pure Energy Pills manufactured by Cynthion Group were capable of creating mass soldiers of the Emperor State, so long as he managed to get his hands on them, the Spears would be able to rise to greater power in no time! When that happened, expanding his power to the rest of Sky County wou
"Well, yes! Cynthion Group indeed came up with an even better alchemical pill!" after a moment's contemplation, Leon finally nodded in response to their questioning. "Really? That's splendid news!" "President Wolf, where are these pills right now? please do show us!" everyone was overjoyed to hear this and immediately perked up, excited to see just what this pill was capable of. Hugo was no exception; he was doubtful of Cynthion Group at the beginning, but now, all his attention was drawn by the promise of this new and revolutionary pill! Even the Southern Boss and Devon were both staring intently at Leon, their expressions unclear. "Well, this new pill that's even more powerful than the Supreme Pure Energy Pill is called the Cleansing Pill! Behold—" Leon declared as he gestured to the hostess, who immediately sauntered over with a white porcelain jug, which contained none other than five of those Cleansing Pills! Leon produced these Cleansing Pills from the Angel's Fruit
"But, how's that possible?" no one could believe there was such a thing! "Nothing is impossible! Well, since all of you find it so hard to believe, I shall let Miss Thompson here demonstrate the effects of the Cleansing Pill!" Leon replied calmly. After spending so much time with Roanne recently, he could tell that Roanne was just as talented in martial arts as Ruth was! Since he and Ruth achieved such amazing effects from ingesting the Cleansing Pill previously, what was to say that Roanne would not achieve the same if not a better effect? In that case, it would be the perfect demonstration of the Cleansing Pills' power! On the other hand, since he did not yet have much connection in the Southern region, it would no doubt be a difficult feat for him to summon any Semi Almighty or Almighty Warriors to join his forces. The only way he could attract their interest was to demonstrate his alchemical skills in hopes that they would be tempted by this and choose to join his side
"Thud!" All of a sudden, Roanne's entire body shuddered, her energy concentrating into bursts of fiery power as she ascended from the Initial Emperor State to the Intermediate Emperor State! Finally, her energy dissipated, and she got up from the ground, light as a feather. "I never thought the Cleansing Pills would help me attain the Intermediate Emperor State so quickly, Leon! This is incredible!" she exclaimed with a grin, feeling as though she woke up from a good dream. Just a few days ago, she was still at the Advanced Overlord State, but now, with Leon's help, she finally advanced to the Intermediate Emperor State, which made her almost on par with her brother Yuri! She ascended so fast that now, she became one of the best martial artists in the entire Southern region, region to only her brother! "Miss Thompson attained a new power level! This is unbelievable!" everyone was utterly stunned by this sight and erupted into a flurry of excitement. None of them thought
"What makes you think that? What you see isn't always the truth, and given Leon's ties to the Thompsons, who's to say Cynthion Group didn't assign Roanne to make it all up? Although her aura may appear to indicate that she has attained the Intermediate Emperor State, this does not imply that she has! Perhaps this is a ruse that she and Leon have devised together! They must've used some kind of illusion!" sneered the Southern Boss. "Um," everyone froze, and suspicious expressions crossed their faces. They were all aware that Leon had ties to the Thompsons, and it would not be a stretch to say that Leon set Roanne up for this. Not only that, but it seemed a little unbelievable for Roanne, who had already attained such advanced power levels in a matter of days, to do so again in a matter of minutes! This appeared to be some sort of illusion or trick that they had planned together! The Southern Boss had succeeded in raising everyone's suspicions. "That's nonsense! We Thompsons
"Rats! That Southern Boss sure is a sly fellow!" the color drained from Angus' face when he heard Rodney's dare. Now, after the Southern Boss' daring statement, the Thompsons successfully become a pawn of Leon's plan in the public's eye. If Roanne were to turn down Rodney's challenge to a duel, this would prove the Southern Boss' point that Leon and they were in on this together! This was no doubt a smart, albeit deceitful, trick! "Roanne, are you going to accept my duel or not? Say something! What's wrong? Are you afraid that I'll expose you and Leon for who you are? Why not hear me out? I'll give you one last chance; you don't need to defeat me, all you have to do is take three of my attacks in stride, and so long as you put up a good fight, I'll consider myself defeated!" Rodney said contemptuously, his attitude turning even cockier as he tried to provoke Roanne into accepting his challenge to a duel. "You!" Angus, Yuri, and the rest of the Thompsons were outraged by this.
"Tsk, you're making a fool out of yourself!" Rodney sneered when he sensed Roanne's attack surging toward him. Then, with a nimble leap, he stepped forward and unleashed a surge of power, sending it barreling straight toward Roanne! "Mister Spears is indeed a man at the Initial Emperor State, there's no doubt about that! I wonder if Miss Thompson can defeat him?" by this moment, the audience could already sense Rodney and Roanne's aura; they were at the Initial Emperor State and the Intermediate Emperor State respectively! If Roanne could successfully take his attack in stride or perhaps even defeat him, this would prove that she truly attained the Intermediate Emperor State! On the contrary, if she failed to do so, it would prove that this was all just a part of Leon and the Thompsons' hoax! Meanwhile, onstage, Roanne remembered what Leon told her shortly before the fight, and since she did not have any experience at all in fighting, she was careful to avoid meeting Rodney hea
