"Great! I did get to the next level!" Arthur stood and burst into laughter. Like the others, he thought that he was set for failure and was devastated. Yet, Leon managed to turn the tides and helped him get to the Peak Almighty State with ease. It was unexpected and Arhtur was overjoyed. "Congratulations, Elder Thompson," Leon said with a smile and picked his pendant up from the center of the circle. "Mister Wolf, thank you so much for getting me past the bottleneck of my training. I don't even know how I can repay this debt." Arthur snapped out of it and thanked Leon earnestly. "Elder Thompson, you don't have to thank me. We're allies, so it's only normal for us to help each other out," Leon said with a smile, before raising his arm to withdraw the Spiritual Pearl. "Mister Wolf, is this pearl the treasure Roanne talked about? The one that helps with martial artists' training?" Arthur glanced at the Spiritual Pearl in Leon's hand in realization. When he and Angus demande
"Uncle Angus, you're too kind. I'm just lucky." Leon smiled modestly. "How modest! As expected of a young, talented man! You'll achieve greatness in the future!" Arthur and the others nodded in approval. For someone as young as Leon to create the Elegante Group and Cynthion Group, and defeat the Southern Boss and the Spears, he was undoubtedly the most talented individual in the southern region. Even martial artists in the previous generation would struggle to hold a candle to his accomplishments. Still, despite what he achieved, Leon remained modest. It was incredibly rare for one to possess such virtue and they all believed that Leon would achieve greatness in the future. "Uncle Angus, Elder Thompson, if this is all, I'll head home now." Seeing that it was getting late, Leon decided to leave since he achieved what he came for. "Sure. Mister Wolf, about the underground community, let me know if you need anything. The Thompsons will do our best to help," Angus said. Thoug
"I know that! But we aren't doing anything wrong. There are already a few women staying with Mister Wolf, so what's the big deal with Roanne staying there as well? Since Mister Wolf and those women don't care about the rumors, the Thompsons shouldn't either," Arthur said. "That might be true, but why?" Angus asked in confusion. Though Arthur's words made sense, he could not figure out what caused Arthur’s view on the matter to change so drastically. "Well, let me be frank with you! When Mister Wolf helped me with my training, he succeeded mainly because of that Spiritual Pearl he owned. That pearl contained bottomless energy and is a great aid for martial artists! Considering how talented Roanne is, she could potentially ascend to the Semi-Saint, or even the Saint State if she continues to train by Mister Wolf's side!" Arthur said, his eyes bright. He never saw the Spiritual Pearl before, so he never truly believed what Roanne said about wanting to train with Leon. However, upo
"Dad, Grandpa's right! Mister Wolf is extremely formidable and resourceful. Anyone would kill for a chance to train by his side. If it wasn't for all the women staying in his house, I would want to move into his place as well!" Yuri added. He then paused and said, "Roanne's lucky that she gets to train by Mister Wolf's side. We can't let this chance slip by out of concern for what others may say!" "Well, you're right," Angus said, feeling at a loss for words. He knew that Yuri was right. A treasure like the Spiritual Pearl was hard to come by, and Leon would never share it with just anyone. Roanne was lucky that she was chosen by Leon and it was fair to say that others could only wish to encounter an opportunity like that. If he asked Roanne to give it up and move out of Leon's house, it would be foolish of him. "Roanne, I'll ask you this one last time. Do you not want to move out of Mister Wolf's place? This isn't a child's play and you need to consider your decision caref
In the mountain, Leon led his subordinates to an empty spot and stopped. "Mister Wolf, what do you need us to do?" Henry, Mason, and the others glanced around the thick woods and exchanged confused looks. "Well, I intend to get your power levels up," Leon explained. These men, especially Mason, Spencer, and the others, followed him for a long time and he could tell that they were loyal and trustworthy. Except for Henry and Chandler, the others were too weak and to make up for that, he intended to train Mason, Spencer, and the others to strengthen his force. "Get our power levels up?" The others perked up. They all witnessed what Leon was capable of. Not only was he formidable, but he was also resourceful beyond comprehension. It was great news for them all that Leon wanted to help with their training. Still, they thought back to what Leon did in the past and how he seemed to have exhausted quite a few methods. Instantly, they found themselves wondering what other tric
Before Leon could say anything, Henry explained, "Chandler, the Sun Pills can help martial artists practice light methods and increase their power! Considering how powerful you are already, you might get to the Intermediate Almighty State with the Sun Pill's help." Henry used the Sun Pill and reached the Almighty State from the Semi-Almighty State in the past. Since Chandler was far more powerful than he was, and was close to reaching the Intermediate Almighty State, he concluded that Chandler would get to the Intermediate Almighty State in an instant. "What? Henry, did you just say that I can get to the Intermediate Almighty State after taking this pill? What kind of joke is that?!" Chandler was utterly stunned. According to his experience, it was extremely difficult to have a breakthrough, and it would become increasingly challenging the higher one's level was. Apart from that, Chandler aged and his chance of ascending to the next power level was slim. Yet Henry claimed tha
"Alright, Chandler, take the pill and start circulating your energy in the center of the circle," Leon said. "Alright!" Chandler responded. Though he still found it hard to believe that he could get to the next power level with the help of the Sun Pill, he followed Leon's order and sat down at the center of the circle, before taking the Sun Pill. The Sun Pill melted in his mouth and instantly transformed into waves of pure energy that coursed through his body. In the meantime, Leon placed the clear jadeites at the center to activate the Energy Convergence Circle and the Light Convergence Circle. As the circles were activated, the Energy Convergence Circle started gathering the spiritual energy from the air and sent it directly toward Chandler. The Light Convergence Circle, on the other hand, gathered the light energy in the atmosphere and sent it toward Chandler from a different direction. With streams of energy flying toward Chandler, it formed a breathtaking sight. "H
"I got to the next power level! This is great!" Chandler stood and burst into laughter. He doubted Leon and Henry before and assumed that they were bluffing about the effect of the Sun Pills. To his bewilderment, they were telling the truth about how the Sun Pill could get him to the next power level. It was unbelievable. Considering his age and condition, it would be extremely challenging for him to get to the next level under normal circumstances. Even if he was to succeed, it would take at least three years’ worth of hard work. However, with the help of Leon and the Sun Pill, he managed to ascend to the Intermediate Almighty State with ease, saving him years of work. Instantly, his heart was filled with joy. Snapping out of it, he fell on his knees before Leon. "Mister Wolf, thank you for helping me with my training," he said gratefully. Leon eliminated the Scarlet Thief and avenged Chandler's family, and on top of that, he did not look down on Chandler due to his age.
"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
