Felton was pleased that everyone made way for him and strode forward with two of his bodyguards. "I told you to scram. Are you deaf?" He approached and stared at Leon in contempt. He arrived just in time to overhear the conversation earlier and learned that Leon was Renee's boyfriend. On top of that, he also learned that Leon was merely a puny vice president from the southern region. As the son of the Western Boss, Leon was just as powerless as an insect and he had no respect for him. "Who do you think you are? Who are you to tell me to scram?" Leon's expression darkened and he shot Felton a displeased look. He initially intended to clarify that he was not Renee's boyfriend, yet Felton appeared out of nowhere and told him to leave arrogantly. This enraged Leon and he decided not to explain himself. With his current status and strength, no one in the youngest generation could harm him. "What?" The crowd gasped in shock and everyone stared at Leon in disbelief. They all
"Very well. You're quite daring, kid! Since you have a death wish, I'll help you out with that! Someone come and break his legs, then feed him to the hounds!" Felton laughed angrily and barked a command at two of his bodyguards. "Yes!" The two guards responded and charged at Leon. "Know your places!" Leon scoffed and was about to counter their attack when Renee beat him to it. "Don't you dare!" Renee's expression darkened and she stepped forward to stand before Leon without hesitation, opening her arms to shield him. The bodyguards were startled. They both knew that they could not afford to offend Renee and had to give up on attacking Leon. The two instantly halted their movements and avoided harming Renee by accident. "Renne, are you sure you want to oppose me for this guy's sake?" Felton's expression darkened and his sharp gaze fell on her. "So what if I do? Hugh is the Morrisons' guest, Felton! If you want to bully him, you must get through me!" Renee said coldly with
"What do you mean it's none of my business? Renee Morrison, you should know that I'm the only one in the western region who deserves you! You're the woman I want and you can only belong to me! Anyone who dares to get in the way will die painfully!" Felton said viciously. Though Renee rejected him many times before, he decided to make her his and would not allow anyone else to obtain her. However, a man as incapable and ordinary as Leon captured her heart and became her boyfriend. Instantly, he was filled with rage and jealousy to the point that he itched to kill Leon. "Why you! Nonsense! Who are you calling your woman? That's enough!" Renee shouted in frustration and helplessness, her face red. Felton's status rivalled with hers and his strength as a martial artist was not something she could match with. Felton might not dare to do anything to her out of concern for the Morrisons' wraith, but she could not do anything to him either. "It's not nonsense! Anyway, get out of th
"Brat, you must have a death wish!" Felton was utterly enraged by Leon's arrogance. Unable to suppress his anger, he reached his arm out and darted toward Leon, intending to destroy him to appease his anger. Renee was still standing in front of Leon at the moment. The Morrisons backed her and he wanted her for himself, so he could not harm her. Hence, he intended to capture Renee first. Without Renee's protection, an ordinary man like Leon would be his to do as he pleased. However, before he could act, he was stopped. "Stop! Mister Fermer, we're all invited here by Mister Feaks to attend this bouquet, not to watch you show off! If you're upset with Miss Morrison's boyfriend, you can settle your scores privately, but please don't ruin this bouquet." Just then, someone scoffed and a man in his thirties stepped forward from the crowd to stop Felton. "Mister Daglesh, what's the meaning of this? Do you intend to protect this lowly man?" Felton's expression darkened as he rec
"Sir, he can't get far. Once the bouquet ends, we can deal with him later," One of the bodyguards whispered into Felton's ear. "Yeah, you're right," Felton agreed with the bodyguard. Leon was merely a lowly scum and he had plenty of chance to deal with Leon after the bouquet. There was no hurry to it. "Mister Fermer, welcome. The bouquet's about to start. Please end this out of respect for me," Jaxon came forward. As the host, he did not want this conflict to affect the bouquet and preferred if the situation could be resolved. "I'll do so out of respect for you, then!" Felton nodded and shot a sharp glance at Leon, scoffing. "Kid, consider yourself lucky. I'll let you off the hook this time since Mister Daglesh and Mister Feaks asked. If this happens again, you won't get away so easily!" "Maybe," Leon snorted casually. He came to this bouquet to purchase rare herbs, not to fight. Since Renee was not his girlfriend, he did not see others as rivals either. Felton alread
Wavering under Leon's sharp gaze, Joshua muttered, "I don't know what you mean, Mister Wolf." Though he was certain that Leon came from a humble background, Leon's gaze still sent chills down his spine and made him feel uneasy. "You better not know what I mean!" Loen scoffed. He could guess what Joshua was plotting, but it was merely speculation. Aside from that, Joshua was Ariella's boyfriend and Loen had a good impression on Ariella. Out of respect for Renee and Ariella, he decided to let this slide. "Damn this kid! How arrogant!" Joshua relaxed once Leon looked away, then snapped out of it. Leon's status could not hold a candle to his. On top of that, he was a capable martial artist, so he had nothing to fear from Leon. At this moment, he realized how cowardly his reaction earlier was. Instantly, he was filled with frustration, but it was too late. Just then, the others' attention was diverted back to the bouquet and they all urged Jaxon, "Alright, Mister Feaks. Ju
"So there are spiritual herbs. They aren't even that expensive," After reading the details and prices for the herbs, Leon nodded with satisfaction. He only came to this bouquet because Renee mentioned they would be selling spiritual herbs, since that was true, his trip was not in vain. Also, he once spent 86 million on a Snow Lotus that grew for five hundred years back in Seacove City. Meanwhile, the Panax that grew for five hundred years here in this bouquet only cost around 30 million. The ordinary spiritual herbs, only cost around 43 million each, which was hardly a huge difference from the price for the Panax. These prices were not expensive and did not exceed his expectations. "Two wild Panax that grew for five hundred years and three spiritual herbs, huh?" Just as Leon contemplated, the others focused mostly on the two wild Panax that grew for five hundred years and three spiritual herbs. Though rare herbs could help martial artists with their training, herbs that o
"Mister Wolf, don't mess with us! These herbs should add up to at least 287 million. A vice president like you can't possibly afford it." Josua was the first to snap out of it. He sneered and glanced at Leon in contempt. Apart from Renee, he and Ariella were the first people to know Leon and they knew about Leon's background. According to what he knew, Leon was just a vice president from a small business in the southern region and was not even a descendant of influential families. With that in mind, he assumed that Leon might not even possess 3 million, let alone hundreds of millions. Yet, Leon claimed that he wanted to purchase all fifteen herbs. This was practically impossible and he refused to believe Leon could accomplish it."That's right!" "Kid, I'm warning you. Suppose you can't afford the herbs, scram. Don't cause trouble here! If you keep this up, we will show you no mercy." ... Realization dawned on the others and they all turned to glare at Leon. They knew
"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
