"I'll pay 510 million!" Leon frowned with resignation. Though he was the one who first proposed to purchase the Rainbow Flower, it was far too rare, and Felton and Jensen made it into an auction. Hence, he could only raise the price in the hope that they would give up as he did not have any other option. "I'll pay 574 million!" Felton did not back away and scoffed. He shared Leon's thoughts and wanted to raise the price so that others would give up. "Damn!" Jensen and the others' expressions darkened. Though they were all from families with a total worth of billions, most of their family fortunes were not liquid funds and none of them could move 574 million with ease. On top of that, both Leon and Felton seemed determined to obtain the Rainbow Flower. Felton was the son of the Western Boss and was far superior in terms of financial capability and power. The same applied to Leon, who first paid 287 million for fifteen rare herbs and proposed to purchase the Rainbow Flo
"Why you!" Felton glared daggers at Leon. Leon first purchased all fifteen herbs for 287 million, and now he raised the price for the Rainbow Flower to 650 million. That added up to a total of over 800 million, which rivaled what most families earn for a year. He could not understand how a mere vice president had access to so much money. However, judging from the calm look on Leon's face, 650 million was not the maximum price he could afford. On the other hand, this was the best Felton could do. Even if he stubbornly raised the price further, there was no way that he could win against Leon. Soon, he realized that there was no point in competing against Leon when the financial capability of Cynthion Group surpassed his imagination. An idea flashed in his mind and he turned to Jaxon instead. "Miser Feaks, this Rainbow Flower means a lot to us. I'm willing to pay 520 million to purchase it. So long as you agree to sell it to me, I'll owe you a favor. If you or your family ne
Mister Wolf, Mister Fermer, I'm sorry. The Rainbow Flower is too rare and I can't decide if we are going to sell it! I'll need my grandfather's approval. Please give me three days. I'll ask my grandfather about it and if he agrees to sell it, I'll inform you two," Jaxon said. This was just a temporary solution so that he did not cross Leon or Felton. "Um, fine!" Felton considered it and nodded. Though Jaxon did not agree to sell the Rainbow Flower to him, he did not sell it to Leon either, so he could accept this as a temporary solution. His father, the Western Boss, was the ruler of the underground community and his influence was unrivaled. So long as Jaxon did not sell the flower to Leon, Felton could simply get his father to pressure the Feaks into selling the Rainbow Flower. Considering the Western Boss's power and influence, the Feaks would not dare to defy him. The Rainbow Flower would fall in their hands eventually so there seemed to be no reason to rush. "Um, alrigh
"Mister Wolf, let's go! Miss Morrison and I'll send you back," Jensen watched as Felton left and approached Leon with a smile. He knew that Leon offended Felton. The bouquet ended and Felton was upset with Leon before he left. Hence, Jensen was worried that Felton might plot to harm Leon. To thank Leon for the alchemical pill he gave, Jensen intended to escort Leon back with Renee. With the two of them alongside him, he should be safe. "It's fine! Thank you for offering, Mister Daglesh! I have something else to handle, so you should leave first," Leon shook his head. Leon's overall strength reached the Advanced Almighty State and he did not have anything to fear from Felton. Even if Felton was plotting something, there was no way he could harm Leon. Because of that, Leon was not at all concerned about Felton. His true concern was the Rainbow Flower. Felton was supported by the influential Fermers, whereas he was merely an outsider with no backers. Once he left the venue a
Leon did not mind that Renee insisted on staying. He only stayed behind to discuss the Rainbow Flower with Jaxon and it was not exactly top secret. Since Renee wanted to wait, he decided to let her be. "Mister Feaks, are you free now? There's something I'd like to discuss with you." Leon approached Jaxon, who was commanding the guards to clean up. Renee followed closely behind. "Mister Wolf? What do you need?" Jaxon asked in confusion before ordering the guards to keep going and approaching Leon and Renee. "I want to talk about the Rainbow Flower. I hope that you can sell it to me," Leon said sincerely. "I-" Jaxon was momentarily taken aback when he realized that Leon stayed behind for the Rainbow Flower. Renee, too, was confused as to why Leon refused to leave and realized that Leon wanted to purchase the Rainbow Flower behind Felton's back. "Mister Wolf, I'm sorry, but I've mentioned that I need to speak with my grandfather about selling the Rainbow Flower. If he ag
"Sun Pills? Are you saying that this pill can enhance my power and get me past multiple barriers?" Jaxon was shocked. Using a Motherwort Pill and an Advanced Pure Energy Pill, Renee managed to rise to the Emperor State from the Advanced Overlord State. Though the Feaks were not a lineage of martial artists and Jaxon did not reach the Advanced Overlord State, he was talented in martial arts. On top of that, the Feaks were never short on herbs and with the help of multiple rare herbs, he long reached the Intermediate Overlord State and was not far from reaching the Advanced Overlord State. The Sun Pill worked similarly to the Motherwort pill and could enhance the power of martial artists who possess light energy or train with light methods. If he obtained a Sun Pill and an Advanced Pure Energy Pill, he might be able to overcome multiple barriers and rise to the Emperor State as Renee did. That way, he would rival Jensen and other younger martial artists. Jaxon did not reach t
"What? The Sun Pills can get martial artists in the Semi-Almighty State to the Almighty State? Are you sure?" Jaxon could not believe what he was hearing. He initially thought that the Sun Pills and Motherwort Pills could only enhance the strength of weaker martial artists, thus allowing them to break through multiple barriers at the same time. To his bewilderment, the Sun Pills could induce a breakthrough for martial artists in the Semi-Almighty State and the Almighty State. As Leon guessed, even the strongest martial artists in the Feaks stopped at the Semi-Almighty State and struggled to get past the bottleneck of their training. If the Sun Pills could counter the limitation of their training method and help them get to the Almighty State, the Feaks would be capable of creating their own Ultimate Power Class method. Chandler did the same after reaching the Almighty State, and so could the Feaks. With th
"It's fine. Don't worry, Mister Feaks. As powerful as the Western Boss may be, he is still under the control of the Dragon Corps! If you sell me the Rainbow Flower, the Dragon Corps will keep him in check!" Leon said. "Well, I suppose you're right!" Jaxon considered it and realized Leon was right. The Dragon Corps was a special force that included countless powerful martial artists. So long as he secretly sells the Rainbow Flower to Leon, Felton and the Western Boss would only pick on the Feaks to vent their frustration. Under the Dragon Corps' control, they would not be able to cause any actual damage. "Mister Wolf, forgive me for being blunt, but this is a rather big deal and I still need to talk to my grandfather about the details! It's getting late so you can go home to rest! You can come to me tomorrow morning and I'll take you to my grandfather. Don't worry. So long as the Sun Pills can get martial artists in the Semi-Almighty State to the Almighty State, my grandfather wil
"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
