"What?" Both the Western Boss and Felton were shocked. "Dad, why would the Dragon Corps seize our properties? Did, did they find out about the Southern Boss?" Felton snapped out of it but remained baffled. He knew that given the Western Boss's status, the Dragon Corps would not target the Fermers to maintain the order of the community. The Southern Boss's crime already caught the Dragon Corps' attention, so Felton realized that there was a chance that the Dragon Corps found the truth and concluded that the Southern Boss was connected to the Fermers. This may explain why two properties under the Fermers' name were seized as the Dragon Corps must have done it for a reason. "Well, that's possible!" The Western Boss's expression darkened. He agreed with Felton and initially thought that the Southern Boss's crime was discovered. The Dragon Corps likely found out that the Fermers were hiding the Southern Boss and perhaps that was why the Fermers were being targeted at the momen
"I see!" Felton realized that the Western Boss's words made sense. There was a high chance that the Dragon Corps were punishing the Fermers because Diego and the others attacked Leon. Such mild punishment should not be linked to murder and robbery. "Dad, what should we do with Leon then?" Felton asked. He and the Western Boss both agreed to send two martial artists in the Intermediate Almighty State to capture Leon. However, the Dragon Corps was already sending the Fermers a warning about the initial attack they planned. If they ignored this warning and continued to target Leon, they would be challenging the Dragon Corps' authority. Nothing good could come from crossing the Dragon Corps. On the other hand, the Cynthion Group had great market value and the Fermers had to obtain it, so Felton could not bring himself to give up. "Forget it. Let's put this matter about Leon aside for now! He won't be able to do much at the moment. Once I get to the Peak Almighty State, we c
The next morning, in a five-star hotel. Leon woke up and just freshened up when he heard someone knocking on the door. "Who is it?" he asked instinctively. Thinking back to the ambush he encountered last night, he was alarmed and wondered if Felton and the Western Boss sent someone over to attack him again. Just then, Renee's melodious voice sounded outside the door. "It's me, Hugh." "Oh, it's Miss Morrison," He smiled and realized he was overthinking. He walked over to open the door and Renee entered the room. "Hugh, why did you move to a different room?" she asked in puzzlement. When she arrived at the hotel earlier, she went to the initial room only to find that Leon was gone. She proceeded to ask the hotel staff and found out that Leon moved into a different room. "Oh, a few thugs came to attack me last night. I broke all the furniture during the fight so I had to change into a different room," Leon explained "Thugs? Were they sent by Felton?" A thought flashe
"Oh, it's nothing important. I just have a few questions for you," Renee said. She came over because Hugo told her to stay by Leon's side and prevent him from deciding to work with the Dagleshs. However, she could not quite tell Leon that, so she did not explain in detail. "What is it?" Leon asked. "I want to ask you about Leon Wolf," she said. She did not know that Hugh was Leon, so she came under Hugo's order in the hope of securing a partnership with Cynthion Group. On top of that, she was also really curious about the almighty Leon and wanted to learn more about him through Hugh. "You want to know more about Leon?" A strange look appeared on Leon's face as he wondered what he was supposed to say. After all, it was rather strange that Renee was asking him about himself. "Yeah, I heard that Leon is likely in the Advanced Almighty State! He even eliminated the Demon Lord who ranked third place in the criminal list, while injuring the Southern Boss. Are those all real?"
"No! L- Leon's too young, so he can't be in the Advanced Almighty State." Leon shook his head. He was not lying. Though his overall strength reached the Advanced Almighty State, his actual power level stopped at the Advanced Emperor State. Since he was a modest person, he dared not to say that he was in the Advanced Almighty State. "No? But that's not right. If he isn't in the Advanced Almighty State, how could he kill the Demon Lord and injure the Southern Boss who were both in the Advanced Almighty State?" Renee asked in confusion. Hugh just admitted that Leon did indeed kill the Demon Lord and injure the Southern Boss, but what he said after that contradicted his own words. "Well, Leon got lucky and obtained three extremely powerful Potential Energy Forces from a certain legendary martial artist. He used one of the Potential Energy Forces to kill the Demon Lord and injure the Southern Boss," Seeing as Renee would not give up until she had her answers, Leon had no choice bu
"I see," Renee was slightly disappointed and added, "Well, which level is Leon in, then?" She already knew that Leon relied on the Potential Energy Force to kill the Demon Lord and injure the Southern Boss, but Leon was certainly quite formidable as well for him to have the courage to face up to two martial artists in the Advanced Almighty State. With that said, Leon had to be in the Almighty State. Though she had no opportunity to witness how the Potential Energy Force worked, it would be great to meet someone as capable as Leon as well. "I think he's on the same level as me," Leon said. "As you? How is that possible? Stop talking nonsense!" Renee rolled her eyes at him. She knew that Hugh was rather formidable and that he already reached the Advanced Emperor State, but he was merely a subordinate of Leon and could not rival his superior in terms of strength. From her perspective, she felt that Leon had to be much more powerful than Hugh. "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm
In a famous district filled with antique shops, the biggest jadeite seller the name of Western Gem Store stood. Its interior was glorious and it was filled with jewelry, gems, and jadeites of all sorts. Upon arriving, Leon and Renee first took a stroll around the district before entering the 轩玉斋. It was still early and there were not many customers. There were only a dozen people around, but there were plenty of people gathering at the rock gambling area. There were professional gamblers and professional experts, along with merchants who specialized in jadeite. Leon and Renee stepped into the hall and he glanced at the rock gambling area. Though he could detect the spiritual energy inside the rocks and could practically select the most valuable rock without miss, rock gambling was far too time-consuming. Since he was not in short of money any longer, there was no point for him to seek wealth through this means. He decided that others could have this opportunity instead.
"Can you show me that clear jadeite over there?" Leon pointed at a piece of clear jadeite. "Sure." The saleswoman retrieved the jadeite and handed it to Leon. Leon inspected it and noticed that an eagle was carved into it. Though the craftmanship was excellent, the pattern was far from exquisite so it gave a rather ordinary impression. However, he was purchasing jadeite for the Energy Convergence Circle, not as an accessory or gift, so he could not care less about the craftsmanship. Judging from the size of this piece, it was perfect for the core of the circle. He fired up his spiritual energy and detected an abundance of spiritual energy inside the jadeite, so he was satisfied with it. "How much is this?" he asked. "Sir, this is priced at 1.8 million," the saleswoman said. "Well, that's a fair price! I'll take it!" Leon nodded. He purchased his fair share of jadeites for Energy Convergence Circles before and knew the market price for most items. Judging from the si
"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
