"Yonas, I reserved this Sun Pill for Yuri. You'll have to wait. Don't worry, though. Once we find a spiritual herb that contains light energy, I'll get Mister Wolf to start making the Sun Pills right away. No matter how many pills he ends up making, I'll reserve one for you," Angus said."Yuri gets it first again? As expected! Uncle, both of your children are getting showered with alchemical pills, and I'm not getting any! Don't you think you are being selfish?" Yonas questioned angrily.Though Roanne took the Motherwort Pill, it was made from Motherwort, which worked in a similar way as the Sun Pill to enhance martial artists' power.With the help of the Motherwort Pill and the Cleansing Pill, Roanne successfully reached the Intermediate Emperor Stat4e.Both Roanne and Yuri obtained powerful alchemical pills, while Yonas was left behind, so he simply could not bring himself to accept such an arrangement."I," Angus was rendered speechless."That's enough! Yuri is extremely talen
"Why you!" Arthur was frustrated by how stubborn Yonas was and was about to say something else when Yuri hurried inside."It's fine, Dad! The Sun Pill can get martial artists in the Semi-Almighty State to the Almighty State. Right now, I'm only in the Advanced Emperor State, so I don't need the Sun Pill right now. Since Mister Wolf has agreed to produce more Sun Pills for us, I can wait. Just make sure you save one for me then," Yuri said with a smile.He was outside the room earlier and overheard the conversation between Angus, Yonas, and Arthur, so he learned that there was only one Sun Pill and decided to let Yonas have it instead.The Almighty State was one of the milestones on the path of a martial artist and a majority of the older generation would stop at the Semi-Almighty State. Since the Sun Pill could guarantee the rise to the Initial Almighty State from the Semi-Almighty State, it would be best for Yuri to take the pill when he reached the Semi-Almighty State and there wa
"But," Yonas wanted to argue, but was instantly interrupted by Arthur."That's the end of the discussion! Your cousin mentioned that the Sun Pills can get martial artists in the Semi-Almighty State to the Initial Almighty State! The pills work best on martial artists in the Semi-Almighty State and since your uncle is exactly that, he'll take the Sun Pill! Both you and Yuri will wait," Arthur said, deciding to let Angus have the Sun Pill instead."It's fine, Uncle Arthur! I've already been in the Semi-Almighty State for a while, so I don't mind waiting. Since Yonas wants to pill, he can have it first," Angus said."You don't have to turn it down, Angus! Almighty martial artists are the pillars of our community. If you can get to the Almighty State with the Sun Pill's help, this benefits our family as a whole! It's settled!" Arthur decided, not allowing anyone else to say otherwise."Um, alright, then," Angus agreed thoughtfully."Damn it!" Yonas's expression darkened. He felt disap
"Angus, we can't take this lightly! Before this escalates any further, you need to get Roanne to move back in," Arthur said.Arthur knew that Roanne was moving in with Leon, but since that was a decision made by Angus, Arthur did not intervene.However, since this already began to affect the Thompsons' reputation, Arthur could not stand idly by."Um, alright!" Angus nodded and turned to look at Roanne. "Roanne, go pack up and move out of Mister Wolf's place before our reputation suffer any further,""What?! No way!" Roanne was shocked.She requested to move in with Leon's house because she wanted to train with Leon and the others, and also because she developed feelings for Leon and wanted to stay with him.She only managed to move in with Leon for a day, and Angus was already asking her to move out."Why not? Roanne, Leon already has a girlfriend, so it's inappropriate for you to live with him. Since rumors are already spreading, your honor will be questioned if you don't move
"I sent some men to look into the origin where the rumors started spreading. According to what we've learned, the rumors were spread on purpose," Yuri explained."What? Is this the work of the Southern Boss?" Realization dawned on Angus.He was confused as to why rumors started to spread merely one day after Roanne moved in with Leon and immediately figured that the Southern Boss had a hand in it."That's very likely," Yuri nodded.He, too, was baffled by the same thing and sent his men to investigate it, only to find that someone was spreading rumors on purpose.However, he had no proof to confirm if the Southern Boss was indeed the true culprit."I guess the Southern Boss is desperate and is preparing to hurt Mister Wolf," Angus said thoughtfully.He knew about the conflicts between Leon and the Southern Boss and knew that a fight was inevitable between the two.He agreed for Roanne to move in with Leon mainly because he wished to hinder the Southern Boss from attacking Leon
"You have a point, but this is about Roanne's and our family's reputation and honor! If we let Roanne stay with Mister Wolf, the scandals will only get worse!" Arthur smirked."Rumors and scandals are just words! Uncle Arthur, you are aware that our family has a history of feuding with the Southern Boss. We'll eventually run into each other! Mister Wolf's presence can stymie the Southern Boss, but if Mister Wolf disappears and the Southern Boss gains control of the Cynthion Group, the Thompsons will be the Southern Boss's next target! For the sake of the greater good, we need to do everything we can to protect Leon rather than allowing the Southern Boss to hurt him over some scandals," Angus reasoned.He was well aware that the Southern Boss's ultimate goal had always been the Cynthion Group, and given the company's potential, the Spears' power would be greatly enhanced if they obtained the Cynthion Group.The Thompsons, as the heads of all families in the southern region, stood in
"Well," Angus was at a loss for words as he knew that Arthur's advice was reasonable.Considering the grudge between the Southern Boss and Leon, along with how influential the Cynthion Group became, the Southern Boss would only be forced to act more carefully even with Roanne by Leon's side.The Southern Boss would not give up on taking over Cynthion Group and might even be forced to harm Roanne when it became necessary, which would put Roanne in danger."Uncle Arthur, we should let Roanne make the decision herself!" Angus said thoughtfully.Though he wanted Roanne to remain by Leon's side and hinder the Southern Boss's action to repay all that Leon did for the Thompsons, this would also put Roanne in danger and that was the last thing Angus wanted.Instantly, he found himself at a crossroads and could only seek Roanne's opinion on the matter."Roanne, do you want to stay with Mister Wolf, or move back in with us? Make the call!" Angus asked."Of course, I'm staying with Leon, I
During the night, in a high-end private club, Yonas drove over with a luxury sports car that was worth millions.When he was with Angus and the others, not only did he fail to get the Sun Pill, he was constantly berated by his grandfather, so he was quite frustrated.He rushed over to the club by himself to drink his sorrows away and to vent his frustrations.In one of the private rooms in the club, two imposing-looking young men were discussing something inside.The two young men were Joel Hiltons and Rodney Spears!Joel suggested using Yonas to split the Thompsons apart, while Rodney was sent over to help out by the Southern Boss. The two of them were discussing how they would deal with Yonas!"Hey, isn't that Yonas?" Joel looked down from the window and happened to see Yonas exit the car."It really is this! I can't believe he got here just as we were talking about him."Rodney walked over and saw Yonas through the window as well."That's right, it's such a coincidence! I
"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
