Leon was shocked to feel that the spiritual energy at the peak of the mountain was already almost completely drained.Thankfully, he did not need to train on Mistcloud Mountain, so it was fine even if the spiritual energy was drained.Furthermore, spiritual energy was not something that would not come back. In less than three months, the spiritual energy on the peak of Mistcloud Mountain would recover. Not using it was just a waste!After gathering the morning dew, Leon started to leave the mountain.Now that he dealt with the procurement of materials and the dew, the problems with production would be resolved as well.The most important part of those products were the dew.Leon planned on naming the morning dew spirit dew. He would be the sole person capable of producing them, just like how many food products had exclusive suppliers.That way, as long as he controlled the spirit dew, no other cosmetic companies would be able to try and mimic their products. That would ensure
If Ashwin found out that he overstepped and interfered with procurement as well, Ashwin would be furious!"What exactly do you want to say? Why are you being so hesitant?!" Iris looked at Leon strangely, not understanding what Leon tried to do."I wanted to say that the Shear Group is the biggest provider of herbal medicines in Springfield City. We should look to work with them. There's no need to work with Life Pharmacy…" Leon mustered up the courage to say.Even though he did not like Ashwin that much, he still felt bad that he kept on overstepping and taking away Ashwin's responsibilities.If Ashwin agreed to work with the Shear Group, he could just give Ashwin the contract he signed last night. Then, the contributions would be Ashwin's.Then, he would not have overstepped, and he would be able to give Cynthia an explanation."You sure are putting things lightly! Even though working with the Shear Group is the best choice, we're a cosmetic company, not a medical or pharmaceuti
"I can definitely show you the agreement, but we'll have to make a bet first!" Leon said calmly."What bet?" Ashwin asked."You don't believe I have an agreement with the Shear Group, right? If I manage to produce an agreement, then don't bite me!" Leon knew that he overstepped his responsibilities, so he preemptively shielded himself from Ashwin. He did not want Ashwin to get angry and bite him in the back."Why would I bite you for no reason?! You're crazy!" Ashwin's expression was incredibly sour. He thought that Leon tried to mock him."Alright, you said it yourself. Don't go back on your words!" Leon was elated. Ashwin fell right for it.Ashwin waved it off, not wanting to bother wasting time with Leon. He said, "What if you can't produce the agreement?""Then you can do whatever you want!" Leon said firmly."Alright, it's a deal!" Ashwin was incredibly happy, looking like he already won. His smile was incredibly wide."Leon, did you get the contract or not? Stop stalling
After listening to what happened, Iris was already sure that the Blue Star of the Sea was genuine!Most importantly, the Blue Star of the Sea was something incredibly valuable. Leon was not someone with that much money or power, but was willing to give something so amazing to her.Her heart was always like a cold lake, but the lake suddenly had a few ripples on it."It's not just being lucky, it's absolutely crazy!" Ashwin's face soured.He wondered what kind of relationship Leon could have with the Shears. He finally understood that it was just that Leon happened to be lucky enough to get to know Benedict.Leon ignored Ashwin and continued, "Yes, it's because of that, that I got friendly with Elder Shear. I gave him a call last night and told him that the company needed some materials, and he agreed to work with us…""So that's the case! You did very well! It looks like I made the right choice letting you join the company!" Iris had a smile on her face as she praised Leon.When
"Miss Young, if there's nothing else, I'll be going to the factory," Ashwin excused himself and left the office.Looking at Leon leave, Ashwin clenched his fists tightly. His expression was incredibly dark.A few days ago, Leon took his responsibilities away with production, and now Leon showed him up again. He could not just take that!"Mister Mercer, you should go back to work!" Iris said calmly.She kept on feeling like there was no way Ashwin was free of responsibility regarding Micheal scheming against Leon, so she no longer held Ashwin in such high regard."Miss Young, there are some things I don't know if I should say…" Ashwin hesitated before stopping."What is it? Just tell me," Iris raised an eyebrow, wondering what Ashwin was getting at."Miss Young, I know you want to train Mister Wolf…""It's just that he's way too ambitious. It might not be a good thing for you to bring him up like that!" Ashwin said."Ambitious? That's impossible! I know Leon's character very we
"That's impossible! Leon definitely won't betray me. He's not the type of person to do that!" Iris said coldly, quickly tossing away her doubts.Most of the company's recent incredible developments were thanks to Leon. Leon was loyally contributing so much to the company, so she could not doubt Leon like that!Leon even saved her life before. He had a great character. If she did not even trust Leon, then who else could she trust?"Miss Young, you mustn't let your guard down! Leon doesn't have anything right now, so he's forced to rely on you. Once he succeeds thanks to you, he might end up betraying you…" Ashwin did not give up as he spoke, but he was stopped by Iris before he could finish."Stop it!""Ashwin, I'll ignore your insults to Leon this time since you've contributed a lot to the company these two yours, but don't do it again!""Alright, go back to work!" Iris berated with a cold look on her face.She always faced the business world coldly. Her business skills were not
On top of that, she was very beautiful herself, so she quickly attracted quite a few looks at her.As everyone looked at them, Leon and Janice were led into a room by the waiter. They sat down in front of each other.After ordering their food, the two of them quickly fell into silence.They did not see each other for a long time, so they became somewhat strangers to each other.After a long time."Leon, how have you been the past few years?""Janice, how have you been?"Leon and Janice tried to break the silence at the same time, and they asked the same question without knowing.After asking that, both of them were stunned, not expecting such a coincidence.Janice could not help but laugh, revealing her sweet smile."Why are you following me?" Janice rolled her eyes at Leon."That…"Leon scratched his head awkwardly, "It's probably because we haven't seen each other for so long, but I don't know what to say.""Same here. I actually had so much I wanted to ask you, but I fo
Cynthia realized that she overthought things.After all, Leon was just an orphan. He did not have much of a background.Furthermore, Cynthia was the jewel of the Shears. She's not just immensely beautiful, but rich and powerful as well. She had so many men after her, so how could she have her eyes on the ordinary Leon?!"Janice, what are you working as right now?" Leon asked, wanting to know more about Janice."Oh, I went into a big company after I graduated. I got quite lucky, and I'm already a department manager. I make a few thousand a month."Janice was a bit pleased with herself. After that, she remembered Leon's situation, and she said, "Leon, I remember you mentioning that you're a presidential secretary at a cosmetic company.""That position isn't too bad, but a secretary still usually handles errands in the end. It's mostly a woman's job, and there's not much power for you, nor will you have much of a future. It's not a good long-term plan."Saying that, Janice paused f
"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
