With the power of the Shears, Leon's future would be limitless as long as he clung to them!At the very least, he would be much better off than regular folk like them!Suddenly, they felt a bit of regret. If they knew that Leon was so capable, they should have tried to curry favor with Leon. If Leon ended up making it big in the future, they might have been able to gain something.Yet, they were already too late!…In another room, Leon and Cynthia ate as they discussed their cooperation.Everything went very well. After talking through some details, they signed the contract.After everything was settled, the two of them left the hotel.Outside the hotel, Cynthia drove her favorite car as she headed toward the Shears residence. She did not notice two black SUVs slowly following her.When they were on a more secluded road, the SUV behind her looked like it suddenly lost control as it tried to overtake her, slamming into Cynthia's car.Cynthia was completely shocked. She slamme
"Trying to run? It won't be that easy!" At that moment, a cold laugh could be heard. The other SUV from behind was already close by.The door opened, and three young men walked out of the car. One of them had a suit on. His eyes were very sharp, and he felt very threatening. It was obvious he would not be someone easy to deal with.Not good! They had friends!Cynthia had an uneasy feeling in her heart as she started to run toward her car.She was not even able to handle those two earlier. Now that there were three more helpers, she felt like there was no way she could win."Get her!" The man in charge shouted coldly. With a wave, the two subordinates rushed toward Cynthia with the lanky man and his friend. They quickly surrounded Cynthia."Who are you guys?! What are you trying to do?!" Cynthia shouted angrily."Who we are isn't important! The important thing is, you should just resign yourself and surrender. Don't make things difficult for yourself!" The front man said calm
"I don't know…" Cynthia shook her head.Cynthia asked curiously, "Leon, didn't you go home just now? Why are you here?""Oh, when I was leaving the hotel, I saw that those two cars looked like they followed you, so I decided to follow along," Leon briefly explained."No wonder," Cynthia had a look of realization. After that, she quickly realized that the situation was urgent. It was not the time to talk to Leon. So, she said in a panic, "Leon, these people are very strong. They're all at the peak Acquired State!""I'll hold them back, you should run!" Cynthia walked in front of Leon.When Leon was with the Shears, she briefly exchanged blows with Leon and knew that he might be a martial artist.However, Leon did not use any true energy at all, so she thought that Leon's level was still too low. He was probably only at the initial or intermediate stage of the Acquired State, it was a far cry from her skills.She was no match for them, and Leon would not be useful either. It would
Of course, she planned for the worst as well. Even if she did not manage to subdue her opponent, as long as Leon managed to escape and contact Shears, their opponents probably would not dare to touch her!"Know your place!" The leader sneered as he punched Cynthia with incredible force, hitting Cynthia's attack!Boom!With an intense clash, the leader did not move at all.Instead, Cynthia was sent flying as she fell on the ground heavily."Ugh…" When she fell to the ground, Cynthia spat out a mouthful of blood."Intermediate… Innate State!" Cynthia was completely shocked, ignoring her wounds.When they clashed earlier, she felt that her opponent was not only at the Initial Innate State, but the Intermediate Innate State!That kind of skill would put him up there as a true expert among the younger generation in Springfield City1"Cynthia, a-are you alright?"Leon was shocked at the sight. He immediately avoided the attacks of the other four as he rushed right at Cynthia."I
What was even more hilarious was the fact that Leon kept saying that he would not abandon her. Yet, Leon suddenly ended up fleeing faster than a rabbit. Even four peak Acquired State Martial Artists could not catch up!It was quite obvious how she would feel!"You four idiots! You can't even catch up to a regular person! What's the point of having you around?!" The leader was furious. He did not feel any true energy in Leon at all, which meant that Leon was not a martial artist. The only possibility was that Leon ran faster than normal."It looks like I'lll have to do something!" The leader held back his anger as he leaped forward, immediately chasing after Leon.His skills were much stronger than his four subordinates. In just a flash, he quickly caught up."Brat, stay down!" The leader sneered as he lashed out in an unbelievably threatening manner, quickly attacking Leon."Ah!"Feeling the man's attack, Leon was shocked as he fell to the ground, luckily avoiding his opponent's
Leon used their distraction to launch a few attacks. Defeating the opponent in front with one punch before kicking him again. He smashed right through them.The two survivors realized they were in trouble and frantically retreated, narrowly avoiding Leon's attacks.The injured leader had already managed to force himself to stand up at that point. He knew they wouldn't be able to fight Leon any longer because the situation had already been decided.Leon's subordinates would be unable to defeat him due to his abilities, which already exceeded the initial Innate State."I'll remember you, brat! I'll make you pay me ten times over the next time! Let's go!" The leader glared angrily at Leon as he gave the order to retreat.The four top Acquired State martial artists then fled. Two of them assisted the severely injured leader, while the other two protected their backs. They then quickly fled the area.Leon intended to pursue them, but he was skeptical that he would be able to defeat th
"Friends? You're right, we're both friends!" Cynthia was stunned at first, but she smiled after that. Her smile was incredibly radiant and alluring.It was lonely at the top.Since the Shears had wealth and power, and Cynthia grew up as their treasured daughter with unrivaled looks, she never lacked people pursuing her, but she did not have many true friends. Even her friends were mostly aiming for the Shears' wealth.However, Leon was different. Leon's medical skills were amazing, and Leon cured her grandmother without asking for anything in return.Not only that, Leon put his life on the line to save her just now, not even willing to leave her behind to escape when he knew he could not win. He was an excellent character.She immediately accepted Leon as a friend!After that, she called her grandfather and told him about her being attacked.Benedict was furious when he heard that, and immediately sent a few of their family's experts over.They were both there to look at the
Gordon and his men had fearful looks on their faces as they hurriedly reported everything that happened."Who's that guy? Could it be one of the Shears' bodyguards?!" The man said coldly. He had a very vicious aura around him. It was completely different from how he acted earlier."That… I don't know…" Gordon said anxiously."What's his level at? Is he in the intermediate Innate State, or the advanced Innate State? Someone young who's as strong as he is shouldn't be anyone unknown!" The young man asked.He knew that Gordon was in the intermediate Innate State, and Gordon even had four subordinates who were in the advanced Acquired State.If their opponent was not at the intermediate Innate State or above, there was no way he could have defeated Gordon and his men."He's not, he's only at the initial Innate State, and is just a little away from intermediate," Gordon answered truthfully."What? The initial Innate State?!" The man was furious. He raised his hand and punched Gordon.
"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
