"Um, sure!" Leon agreed. He got to know Fletcher and a few other Dragon Guards from the western region. Since he ran into Fletcher, he did not mind visiting the Dragon Corps in the western region. "Give me a minute, though. There's something I need to take care of," Leon added and hurried to Jaxon's side. "Mister Jaxon, your condition has stabilized, but you will still need time to recover. I'm going to recite a prescription for you. Take this daily and you should be able to recover in a month." "Sure." Jaxon straightened his back and focused, while the other Feaks followed. Leon recited a prescription and since the Feaks were all experts in medicine, they instantly memorized it. "Mister Wolf, thank you for saving me. I'm sorry that the culprit took the Rainbow Flower. We can't trade anymore," Jaxon thanked Leon after memorizing the prescription. Also, he felt guilty that he could not fulfill his promise. "It's fine. I guess it's just my luck and the Rainbow Flower isn't me
"It's fine. Saving people is a doctor's duty. I just helped Mister Jaxon because I happened to be around. You don't need to give me anything," Leon shook his head and rejected their offer. He did not know what they were talking about, but Romeo mentioned that it was something precious. Leon could tell that Roman was struggling and he could not possibly ask them to give anything to him just because he helped. In his current possible, he was not short of money and did not need them to offer him any gift. "Alright! Elder Feaks, if that's all, I'll get going now," Leon said and turned to leave with Fletcher. "Hang on! Mister Wolf, please wait!" Roman gritted his teeth with determination and called out to Leon. "What's wrong? Is there something else you need, Elder Feaks?" Leon turned around in confusion. "Mister Wolf, Romeo, and Jaxon are right. You saved Jaxon's life and even found us the culprit who did this. You have done so much for us. To thank you, I want to give you the
"Yeah! The flower was taken by the Southern Boss, but we still have the Rainbow Fruit! However, that's in our family mansion and not with me. I'll go home to get it and have it delivered to you," Roman said. "That's wonderful!" Leon was overjoyed and excited. He was rather disappointed that the Rainbow Flower was taken away from the Southern Boss. To his bewilderment, the Feaks possessed something even better and were willing to give it to him. His disappointment was instantly replaced by joy. "Elder Feaks, the Rainbow Fruit is too precious and I can't just accept it for free! How about I honor the same deal I set with Mister Jaxon and offer the Feaks three Sun Pills and some premium Energy Nurturing Pills." Leon snapped out of it and said. "It's fine. Mister Wolf, we mistreated you, yet you saved Jaxon's life anyway. We can't thank you properly or pay you. Just consider the Rainbow Fruit our way of saying thank you. You don't need to offer us the alchemical pills," Roman sho
"It's true! I swear the Sun Pills work exactly that way!" Leon promised confidently. "Well," Roman and the others fell into silence. If they heard this the night before, they would never have believed Leon. However, the situation was different. They all fought Leon after mistaking him as the killer and sensed that Leon reached the Initial Almighty State. If that were the case, Leon's promise would sound far more convincing. Moreover, Roman was going to give the Rainbow Fruit to Leon and Leon was the one who offered to trade with the pills. If he was lying about the effect, there would not be a point for him to do such a thing. Instantly, the Feaks found themselves convinced. "Mister Wolf, since you insist on trading, I will take you up on your offer!" Roman bowed slightly with a grateful expression. Since the Feaks were a long lineage of doctors and after over a hundred years of effort, they accumulated tremendous wealth. Their only weakness was the fact that they wer
"Fletcher, what's wrong with you? We need to go back and report to the captain. You are wasting time!" Howard was annoyed. Inviting an outsider to the Dragon Corps branch was already inappropriate. On top of that, Fletcher now wanted to go to the Feaks' mansion with Leon and delay reporting the situation to their superior. Howard was displeased and he could not quite understand what Fletcher was thinking. "Howard, I'm sorry, but Mister Wolf is special. If you are in a rush, you can go back and report to Mister Orpwood. Just leave me behind." Fletcher smiled sheepishly. Leon worked alone to eliminate the Poisonwielder and ever since Mister Orpwood found out about it, he wanted to meet Leon in person, and now was his chance. Mister Orpwood would likely not blame Fletcher if he returned to the branch slightly later if he managed to bring Leon with him. Hence, Fletcher was not worried. Naturally, Leon did not want his identity to be known and Fletcher felt that it would be in
"Yeah! Hugo, what's the rush? Just wait for the third elder to come back!" Jayden sneered. Both he and Caleb continued to look down on Cynthion Group like they did the day before. "But," Unwilling to give up, Hugo opened his mouth to argue but was interrupted by Jayden. "There's no 'but'! Cynthion Group is offering us too little profit. It's only normal for us to consider it carefully instead of allowing them to manipulate us!" Jayden scoffed. "Yeah, he is right!" "A business deal requires multiple negotiations and compromises. It doesn't just happen overnight!: "Cynthion Group is only offering twenty percent of profit and they are trying to trick us! We need to do what's best for us and fight for more!" ... The other elders agreed along with Jayden's point of view. Seeing how the others supported him, Jayden felt smug. "Hugo, I know that you are close with Mister Wolf. Why don't you represent us and talk to him? Ask him to increase the profit to forty percent. This
"Why is it impossible? Cynthion Group is only responsible for producing the pills, whereas we provide herbs and make marketing arrangements. We will be putting in more work than them! All we are asking is forty percent of the total profit, so that's a good deal!" Jayden scoffed. "Uncle Jayden, I don't agree with you! The alchemical pills are the core value of Cynthion Group. There isn't another company that can produce pills that aid martial artists' training in both the southern and western regions. The same can't be said about us. If we don't agree to Cynthion Group's terms, they can choose to work with another family! Once others witness the effect of the pills, they will all fight for a chance to work with Cynthion Group," Hugo argued. There was a distance between the southern and western regions and it was normal that some of the families in the western region did not hear of Cynthion Group. However, the news would travel fast. Leon came to the western region to expand Cynth
"Well," Hugo froze and found himself rendered speechless because Jayden was right. In terms of effect, the premium Energy Nurturing Pills worked similarly with rare herbs. Though he knew that the Energy Nurturing Pills could also enhance chances for a breakthrough, it was not certain and he did not witness it before. Hence, he could not quite argue with Jayden. On top of that, Caleb and the elders supported Jayden and were dead set on fighting for more profit. No matter how hard Hugo tried, he could not get Caleb to agree to the deal. With Jayden's interference, things kept getting more complicated. Feeling devastated, he did not know what to do. Just as he fell into despair, something unexpected happened. A melodious voice rose and Renee hurried inside. "You don't know the half of it!" "Renee, why are you here?" Hugo was slightly shocked. Renee was too young and held no power in the family business. Hence, Renee was never invited to the family meeting, nor did she wa
"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
