"Yeah, that's a good idea." "We can let Hugo try!" ... The elders' eyes lit up and they all agreed with the suggestion. "Well, alright! Hugo, how about you go and speak with Mister Wolf in private?" Caleb considered it and felt that it was an acceptable solution. Though it may not resolve their concerns, it could at least increase the chance of obtaining a partnership with Cynthion Group. Apart from that, Caleb and the elders could not think of anything else. "No, it won't work! I've only met Mister Wolf once in the southern region and we aren't exactly that close. Even if I go to him, he wouldn't just choose to work with the Morrisons for the sake of a mere acquaintance!" Hugo shook his head and rejected the idea. "I see," Caleb and the elders were disappointed. They all knew that they all offended Hugh. Because Hugo was not a close friend of Hugh, there was no point for him to seek a private audience with Leon. Before they could get disheartened, Hugo said, "Grand
"Hugo, Mister Wolf is an esteemed guest of the Dragon Corps. He is close with Mister Carn and Mister Caldicot. It's not like he has no connection here in the western region. If he wants to establish a branch here, won't he seek their help? If we get ahead of ourselves and build one for him, it may not work out well and our efforts will be in vain!" Caleb said. "He won't! The Dragon Corps is a governmental corporation, not an enterprise. Mister Wolf won't just go asking for their help over business matters. Besides, he hasn't started preparing for the branch. Even if he is to seek Mister Carn and Mister Caldicot's help, it would be a few days from now. We can acquire a pharmaceutical firm for him before that and all issues would be resolved then!" Hugo said confidently. Establishing a branch was a time-consuming matter and it could not be done over a short period. The best solution at the moment was to acquire a pharmaceutical firm in Leon's place. Considering the Morrisons' influ
Meanwhile, on Leon's end. He drank quite a bit at the Dragon Corps and was feeling a little tired. After the Dagleshs and the Morrisons left, he showered and changed into a white, clean bathing robe, preparing to rest. Bang, bang! Just then, someone knocked on his door hastily. "Who is it?" Confused, Leon did not think much of it and went to open the door. However, something unexpected happened when he opened the door. A wave of powerful true energy rushed in, catching him off-guard. Without hesitation, he dodged the attack. At the same time, an old man and two middle-aged men stormed in. They were none other than Diego, Enzo, and Milo who worked for the Western Boss. They were here under the Western Boss’s order to capture Leon. "Huh? Kid, I didn't expect you to be capable of dodging my attack. You are quite something!" Milo was quite surprised after barging in. He was the one who sent off that wave of true energy. Being in the Semi-Almighty State, he assum
"Like you can make me do anything. What a joke!" Leon scoffed and looked at Milo in contempt. When Milo launched his attack earlier, Leon detected that he was in the Semi-Almighty State. With his overall strength reaching the Advanced Almighty State, he had no fear for someone in the Semi-Almighty State. "How arrogant! Do you have a death wish?" Milo was furious. He could not stand being looked down on by a young man and was infuriated by Leon's attitude. "Milo, don't bother chit-chatting with him. This kid is oddly swift. Let's all work together and capture him to fulfill the Western Boss's order," Enzo said coldly. "Judging from how Leon dodged Milo's attack, he could tell that Leon was oddly swift. To avoid any unexpected incident, he did not bother to waste any more time and decided to attack alongside Milo and Diego. "It's fine. I told you that I could handle this brat on my own. There’s no need for all three of us to fight him at the same time!" Milo said proudly an
"How dare you act all tough when this is all you got! Know your place!" Leon scoffed at Milo's attack. He took one step forward and launched an attack on Milo. "Die, kid!" Milo narrowed his eyes sharply when he saw Leon facing him head-on. Due to Felton's misleading information, he was certain that Leon was in the Advanced Emperor State. Indeed. Though Leon's overall strength reached the Advanced Almighty State, he was in the Advanced Emperor State without taking the Dragon Pill and his other tricks into account. Once in a fight, Milo could tell from Leon's explosive power and speed that he was indeed in the Advanced Emperor State. This was miles away from the Semi-Almighty State he was in, so he did not see Leon as a threat. He followed Diego's order and strengthened his attack, intending to destroy Leon with a single blow to vent his frustration. "Know your place!" Diego and Enzo sneered and stared at Leon as though they were looking at a fool. Like Milo, they could
Baam! Following a deafening sound, Milo was not given time to react and was instantly sent flying. He slammed hard against the coffee table behind him and rolled off to the ground. As soon as he landed, a sharp pain pierced through his chest and he spat blood. His face was pale and he suffered from severe internal injury. Thankfully, Leon was not powerful enough to cause any permanent damage. Otherwise, he would have suffered far more than internal injury. "Milo was defeated? How is this possible?" Both Diego and Enzo rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They both knew that Milo reached the Semi-Almighty State, which made him far stronger than Leon, who was in the Advanced Emperor State. They thought that Milo's powerful strike would easily defeat Leon. To their bewilderment, they were wrong. Not only was Milo incapable of disabling Leon, but he was also struck down to the point of spitting blood. This was so surreal that they were shaken to the core. "How could this happe
"Alright. You two are next. Come at me!" After defeating Milo, Leon pointed at Diego and Enzo, asking that they attack together to save him some time. "Don't get so smug, kid. So what if you are in the Semi-Almighty State? There's a huge gap between the Semi-Almighty State and the Almighty State. You are no match for me!" Diego scoffed and released his true energy. His energy in the Initial Almighty State swarmed Leon. He came to the same conclusion as Enzo and assumed that Leon was merely in the Semi-Almighty State There was an enormous gap between the Semi-Almighty State and the Almighty State. Not only were they a level different, but there was also a huge difference in strength. Countless second-generation and first-generation martial artists who lacked talent struggled to get to the Almighty State from the Semi-Almighty State. Considering Leon's young age, they refused to believe that he reached the Almighty State as it was impossible. So long as Leon did not reach
"Bring it on!" Leon showed no fear in the face of Diego's attack. He repeated the same and took a step forward to launch a counter-attack. "Die, kid!" Diego said viciously. He already concluded that Leon was in the Semi-Almighty State. If Leon dodged or found a chance to escape, it would be challenging for him to disable Leon. However, Leon arrogantly attempted to face him head-on. This was practically suicidal and Diego was not about to let this opportunity go. He exerted more strength in his attack and intended to end the fight in an instant. Before he could act, Milo called out hastily, "Diego, something isn't right with that kid. He can launch another attack while still on the momentum of the first attack. Be careful. Don't face him directly or you will fall for his trick!" "What? I see!" Diego came to a realization. He was wondering how Leon managed to defeat Milo with a single blow. At this moment, he finally understood that Leon won with some sort of trick. K
"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
