Meanwhile, in the Thompsons Mansion.Roanne followed Angus and Arthur home after staying with Leon and the others for the past two days."Roanne, you were only in the Advanced Overlord State a few days ago. How'd you get to the Semi-Emperor State all of a sudden?" Angus asked as he failed to understand how Roanne managed to achieve such rapid growth after staying in Leon's mansion as a guest for only two days.With the help of the Cleansing Pill and the Supreme Pure Energy Pill, Roanne grew even further to reach the Intermediate Emperor State.Within a matter of days, she easily caught up to Yuri, who was referred to as the brightest martial artist of his generation.It all seemed so surreal that he could hardly believe what was happening."Oh! Leon helped me using the Motherwort Pills," Roanne explained."The Motherwort Pills? What's that? Why isn't that sold during the sales drive?" Angus was confused as he did not know what the Motherwort Pills were used for."I don't know,
"Yonas, Leon produced something else apart from the Frost Fire Pill, called the Sun Pill that can enhance the power of martial artists who study light methods," Roanne said hesitantly.She was an innocent woman and could not tell that Yonas had an ulterior motive, so she simply explained everything she knew."What? Are you saying that the Sun Pill can help me?" Yonas' eyes lit up."I think so. I don't know for sure, but Grandpa John took one Sun Pill before, so you can ask him about it," she said.She took the Frost Fire Pill instead of the Sun Pill, so she did not know the precise effect of the Sun Pill.John, who took the Sun Pill, should have more insight on the matter.Angus, Arthur, and the others instantly shifted their attention to John."As Miss Roanne said, the Sun Pill can indeed enhance martial artists' strength and power! Thanks to Mister Wolf's generosity, I took one Sun Pill and succeeded in reaching the Almighty State from the Semi-Almighty State," John nodded and
"Sun Pill! The odds are in my favor!" Yonas was also excited and narrowed his eyes slyly, determined to obtain the Sun Pill to enhance his power.With the control over the family being held by the second bloodline, he was confident that he could compete with Yuri as heir as long as he obtained the Sun Pill."Uncle, you guys are close with Leon, right? Just ask him for a few Sun Pills! Remember to save me one!" He said bitterly.Leon rejected his request during the sales drive, yet turned around to hand Angus two Cleansing Pills for free. Since Leon seemed close with Angus and his family, Yonas decided to send Angus to ask for the Sun Pills and he would not have to do anything at all."Um, I'm afraid that won't work!" Angus said hesitantly.though he wanted the Sun Pill as well, he knew that the fact that Loen did not sell the Sun Pill during the sales drive meant that the Sun Pill was scarce.Even if Leon owned the Sun Pills, he might have other use for them. If he abused his all
"Grandpa, I'm just telling the truth!" Yonas said stubbornly."How dare you argue with me?! Didn't you hear me when I said that it's enough?! Apologize to your uncle right now, or I shall punish you!" Arthur was instantly enraged by his rebellious attitude."But," Yonas shivered and swallowed his words when he realized that Arthur was angry."Apologize now!" Arthur roared."A- Alright, Uncle Angus, I'm sorry. I just really want the Sun Pill and lost control of my words. Please forgive me," Yonas said reluctantly with resignation."Forget it! You're still young and don't know any better. Just watch your mouth in the future!" Angus sighed.He knew that Yonas was prideful and always wanted to compete with Yuri to become the heir.Thankfully, Arthur always remained just and fair.Yuri was talented and brilliant in every aspect, so Arthur trained him to be the future leader and was prepared to hand the control back to the first bloodline.Hence, Angus did not mind whatever plot Yon
Once Arthur and Yonas were gone, Yuri asked hesitantly, "Dad, are you going to ask Mister Wolf for the Sun Pill? Isn't that a little rude?"Like Angus, Yuri figured out that Leon likely had other use for the Sun Pill if he did not put them up for sale."I know, but I have to try for the future of the Thompsons," Angus said with resignation, feeling troubled.After all that Leon did for his family, he did not know how to begin to ask for such a thing."That's right! Roanne, you work in the Elegante Group and see Leon all the time! Why don't you ask him about the Sun Pill the next time you see him?" Angus's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Roanne hopefully.If he asked for the Sun Pill and Leon turned him down, their relationship would become highly awkward. However, Roanne was a similar age as Leon and worked alongside Leon, so the two were far closer.Even if Leon rejected Roanne's request in the end, it would not affect their friendship so it would be more appropriate for Ro
"Dad, I like Snow and the others and I'd be surrounded by friends if I move over. Isn't that a good thing? I feel quite lonely most of the time," Roanne added.Due to her previous condition, she was not able to have friends, so Iris, Snow, and the others were her only friends.She wished to move to spend more time with them, but also so that she could see Leon every day."No way! If you feel lonely, you can go see them during the weekends. you don't need to move in with them!" Angus shook his head, not wanting Roanne to disrupt Leon's life."Please, Dad, Leon has a tressure that helps martial artists with their training. It's the pearl we saw before. If I move in with them, I'll be able to power up even faster," Roanne rocked her father's arm and said sweetly."What?!""That pearl is a tool to be used for training?!"Yuri and Angus were both stunned.They both saw the Spiritual Pearl back when Leon treated Roanne and finally come to the realization of why Leon managed to grow a
"It's fine, Dad! I have Grandpa John here. He can follow me to Leon's place! With him protecting me, nothing's going to happen!" Roanne said, before turning to look at John with a sweet smile. "Right, Grandpa John?""Um, yeah," John said hesitantly.Angus and Yuri were never in Leon's mansion before and did not know much about the detail, but John knew that Leon was surrounded by women of breath-taking beauty.He had the intention of reporting it to Angus so that Angus could keep Roanne from being too close to Leon.However, Leon offered a precious Sun Pill to John two days ago and helped him reach the Almighty State.Since John was yet to come across the chance to repay the favor, he could not bring himself to say anything negative about Leon.After observing Leon for the past two days, he noticed that Leon was a virtuous man who was not overly intimate with Cynthia, Snow, and Ruth, so John felt that it would be alright for Roanne to move in with them.Instantly, he felt assure
"What?" Leon stood abruptly from shock.He announced that Cynthion Group was looking to recruit martial artists in the Semi-Almighty and Almighty States during the sales drive out of desperation, and did not have high hope that he could get any response.To his pleasant surprise, a martial artist in the Semi-Almighty State responded to the recruitment shortly after the announcement."Mason, where's this old man? Take me to him right now!" Leon asked hastily."Mister Wolf, I've arranged for him to wait in the reception room," Mason said."Good. I'm going to meet him now!" Leon said and darted outside.Iris, Cynthia, and the others stood and followed Leon out of the office....In the reception room, Leon strode in with the others and spotted an old man alongside a young woman in her early twenties.Despite her stunning looks, she was dressed casually and looked away sheepishly as though she was afraid of strangers."Hello, sir. I'm the chairman of Cynthion Group, Leon Wolf! Ho
"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
