It was incredible!Naturally, they were unaware that Leon had recently advanced to the Acquired State, but his cultivation level had accelerated to surpass the initial innate state, so it was only natural that he could easily defeat four fighters."Good. Excellent work. Impressive! It's the first time I've seen someone harness their external power to such an extent!" Mason Shelton applauded, his eyes shining with approval.Leon had not used his true energy in his previous attack, proving that he was not a martial artist but merely a skilled fighter. External power was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to martial arts, and Leon had to be a gifted individual to reach such a level of strength through training for external power."You... Are you a martial artist?"Leon's eyes narrowed as he sensed the true energy flowing through his opponent's body. However, because Mason had not yet acted, he had no idea how powerful Mason truly was.Mason appears to be quite skilled, based o
Satisfied with the others' reaction, Mason turned to look at Leon with contempt. "Brat, did you see that? That's the internal power of a skilled martial artist! I'll give you one last chance. Are you getting on your knees, or should I force you down instead? Take a pick""You are so talkative. Let's just do this already!" Leon picked at his ear and said impatiently. He had been wary about the depth of Mason's strength, but during the show that Mason put on earlier, he sensed through the flow of true energy that Mason had merely reached the peak of the Acquired State.Leon would not stand a chance against Mason in the past, but considering the fact that he had surpassed the Initial Innate State, Mason was no threat to him."You have this coming, brat! I'll show you!" Provoked, Mason launched a swift punch at Leon.Concerned that Janice might get injured by the energy radiating off Mason's fist, Leon did not dodge and launched a kick toward Mason's chest.Mason was certain that Leon
Brody could not believe his eyes.He knew just how strong Mason was and did not expect him to be defeated by Leon in such a short amount of time with no chance of fighting back at all.He would not have believed it to be true if he had not seen it.Marilyn, on the other hand, was completely stunned as well. She had been married to Leon for three years, and she knew that he was still a useless scum up until two months ago. He was as lowly as a servant in the Manson Family with no power to fight back at all; however, he had transformed into a man who had the influence to shut down the operation of Sullivan Enterprises' chain stores, and possessed the strength to defeat the skilled fighters Brody hired alone.'Is this still the good-for-nothing guy that I know?' She thought. 'I guess you should never underestimate one's growth! Perhaps I have been too short-sighted to see his true potential!'"Leon, you... you were great!" Janice's eyes lit up at the realization that in the few years
"I promise you that this is the last time. I won't get in your way ever again...""It's too late to know your mistakes now!" Leon sneered and was prepared to strike.Terrified, Brody blurted out, "wait! You said that you will spare me if I kneel. How can you go back on your own words?"Leon stilled and remembered that he had indeed mentioned that he might consider spare Brody and Mason if they kneeled before him. "That was then, and this is now! Besides, I only said that I will consider it. I didn't make any promises!" He said mockingly."You..." Furious, Brody cursed inwardly, but decided to white-knuckle through the humiliation. He had already let go of his pride and kneeled to Leon, so he could not simply give up."Marilyn, you are my wife! You were married to Leon for three years. Beg him for mercy so that he will spare me..." He called out to Marilyn hopefully."I..." Marilyn's expression darkened.Though she was Leon's former wife, the two had never consummated the marriag
She finally understood how rare it was for a man to give so much for her and began to regret divorcing Leon. However, it was too late for her to regret her choices....Leon and Janice walked out of the mall, and soon noticed someone hurrying after them."Mister Wolf, please wait." Mason hurried over."You? What else do you want?" Leon held his arm in front of Janice protectively as he shot a wary glare at Mason.Mason hesitated, before falling onto his knees before Leon. "Mister Wolf, I didn't mean to offend you earlier. Please forgive me," he said sincerely."It's fine. It's in the past now. Just get up." Leon waved his hand in dismissal.He knew that Mason was only doing what he was hired to do and since he had no personal grudge toward Mason, he felt no need to resent Mason over such an insignificant matter.Instead of getting up, Mason bowed his head and said respectfully, "Mister Wolf, I want to ask for your help and I hope that you will agree."Leon scanned him up and d
"Please just give me a chance..."Their interaction had caught the attention of passers-by, causing the people around them to widen their eyes in shock and steal baffled looks at Leon as Mason bowed his head to Leon.Even Janice did not know how to react."Just get up first!" Leon urged. News traveled fast on the internet and he did not want to be mistaken as a bully."If you refuse to take me as your disciple, I won't get up!" Mason said with determination."Just get up first. I can't be your master, but I can offer you some advice since you seem sincere," Leon reassured him with a troubled expression, all the while contemplating how he could help Mason."Thank you, Master!" Overjoyed, Mason bowed his head again before getting up."Don't call me master. I told you I'm not a disciple. I can only offer you advice, and you are not to call me that again," Leon said. He was not a martial artist, but Sage Art shared a similar foundation with martial art so he might be able to offer a
"Congratulations," Leon said.The progress of Mason's cultivation had been paused for six years and his true energy had accumulated to a certain level; the only reason that he had not been able to reach higher levels was because of the blockage in his internal circulation. With Leon's help, the accumulated true energy exploded, bringing Mason's cultivation level up to the Intermediate Innate State."Thank you for your help, Mister Wolf." Mason fell onto his knees respectfully once again. He had thought that Leon would advise him for a period of time and had not expected to reach anything more than the Initial Innate State; to his bewilderment, it only took Leon a few minutes to help Mason in ascending two levels.Such talent was unheard of and not only was Mason thankful, his admiration for Leon grew."It's nothing. Don't sweat it," Leon said, feeling slightly bitter. He had just surpassed the Initial Innate State himself and had not expected Mason to rise to the Intermediate State
Samuel slammed his palms onto the desk with a dark expression."Dad, a brat by the name of Leon Wolf tricked me. He reported to the Wick Group and caused this loss to our company..." Brody explained the situation. He knew that Leon was just a helpless orphan and did not think that he would possess the influence to command Jenson, so Brody merely thought that his act of raising the products' prices had enraged the Wick Group and Jenson was merely doing what duty commanded."Who is Leon Wolf? Sullivan Enterprises has no beef with him, so why would he report us?" Samuel asked."He's Marilyn's ex-husband and he has a grudge toward me..." Brody said gingerly."Marilyn's ex-husband? No wonder! I told you over and over again to marry a virtuous, innocent woman. You just wouldn't listen and went to find yourself a married woman! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Samuel growled as he turned to glare at Marilyn in contempt and disgust.The Manson Family was hardly a match for the S
"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
