"Renee, what's going on? What are you thinking about?" Leon was confused when he noticed that Renee was deep in thought. "N- nothing," Renee snapped out of it and shook her head, still unable to regain her composure. Her mind was telling her that she could not steep so low. However, her heart was reluctant to let go of the only man she ever fell for. Instantly, the conflicting feelings within her made it hard for her to decide if she wanted to cave or sever all ties with Leon. "By the way, you said you need to talk to me about something, right? What was it?" Leon was oblivious to her inner struggles and changed the subject. "Oh, Hugo has fulfilled your request and acquired a suitable cosmetic company. He told me to bring you over and file the paperwork. Also, all the alchemical pills have been produced, so he wishes to discuss matters about the upcoming sales drive," Renee recalled that she came to Leon for something important and explained the situation. The thought that s
Glory Beauty Corporation was located in an industrial district on the outskirts. It was a large-scale cosmetic firm that earned quite a reputation for itself in the western region. Outside the building, Renee guided Leon and the others into the area. The car doors opened and Leon stepped out of the car along with the others. Just then, Hugo was seen waiting outside with two bodyguards and two men in suits. "Mister Wolf, welcome! Miss Young and Miss Shear, you are both here as well. I didn't know you were here in the western region," Hugo welcomed them with a smile. "Yeah. It's been a while, Mister Morrison." Iris and Cynthia smiled. They both met Hugo once during the sales drive in the southern region, so they greeted him politely. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Hugo cut to the chase. "Mister Wolf, this is the cosmetic firm I acquired for you and I've already paid part of the deposit. I'll give you a tour inside and if you are happy with everything, I'll procee
In the five-star hotel, Leon, Iris, and the others arrived in the evening. Leon first reserved a few luxurious suites for the women, Chandler and Henry. Then, the group went to the hotel restaurant for dinner. After being parted from Leon for a while, Iris and the others swarmed him with questions about things that happened in the western region and work. The group dined while chatting harmoniously. After dinner, they returned to Leon's room. Suddenly, Leon recalled something and called Chandler and Henry over. "Chandler, Henry, how's your training?" he asked. When he left the southern region, he taught the Heavenly Star Method to his subordinates. On top of that, he set up a Light Convergence Circle and left them with alchemical pills. His main purpose was to increase their strength to strengthen his force. Some time passed so he wondered how their training went and decided to enquire about it. "Mister Wolf, I've just reached the Advanced Almighty State two days
"It's fine. Henry, it's great that you managed to get to the Intermediate Almighty State within such a short period. Be more confident! So long as you keep training with the Heavenly Star Methods, I'm sure you will reach the Advanced Almighty State soon," Leon smiled. He knew that Henry was slightly less talented than Chandler, so the fact that he rose to the Intermediate ALmighty State was already impressive. Hence, Leon was satisfied. Martial artists in the Intermediate and Advanced Almighty States were considered top-tier in both the southern and western regions. With the two of them protecting the women, Leon could rest assured. "By the way, how's Mason and the others doing?" Leon continued. "The five of them are all in the Advanced Emperor State or the Semi-Almighty State," Chandler and Henry said respectfully. When Leon arranged for Mason to take over the underground society to resolve any aftermath of the defeat of the Southern Boss. The target he set for the five
"Leon, what's wrong? What else do you need?" They all turned back to him in confusion. "Oh, here's the thing. I have a few pills that I'd like to give you," Leon said and took out a flask containing some rainbow-colored pills. The pills were almost transparent and omitted extremely powerful true energy. "What are these?" Cynthia and the others stared at the pills in puzzlement. They were by Leon's side for some time and knew almost every type of alchemical pill he made. However, this was the first time they saw this type of pill, and they were all confused by it. "These are the Rainbow Pills! I made these from a heavenly herb, the Rainbow Fruit, and an Emperor Herb!" Leon smiled and explained. "What? These are made from a heavenly herb? Seriously?" They were all shocked. Though they did not know much about herbs, they all heard about heavenly herbs and knew that they were a few times rarer. To their bewilderment, Leon managed to find a Rainbow Fruit and an Emperor Herb.
Once Ruth took the Rainbow Pill, Iris, Cynthia, and Snow each took one as well. Leon saw the three of them as his most important family and friends, so none of them felt the need to be overly polite. Roanne was the only one who was hesitant to accept the Rainbow Pills. It was far too valuable and she did not know Leon for that long. Hence, her bond with Leon was not as strong as it was with the other women and she could not bring herself to accept such a precious gift. "Roanne, this Rainbow Pill is for you. Just take it." Leon smiled. Seeing her concern, he shoved the pill into her hand. Though Roanne's condition differed from that of the other four, he was close with the Thompsons. Back in the southern region, he only managed to defeat the Southern Boss and the Spears because he had the Thompsons' help. On top of that, Roanne was a shareholder of Elegante Group and has been living with them in recent times. Apart from that, Roanne was innocent and sweet, so he came t
Sometime later, Leon absorbed all the energy and started to push his limits over the barrier of his training. Before long, he jolted and reached the Initial Emperor State with the help of the Supreme Pure Energy Pill. "Great! It's done!" Leon was overjoyed and continued training for a while longer to reinforce his strength, before standing up. Since the energy within the Rainbow Pills was far more powerful than that of the Supreme Pure Energy Pills, Iris and the others were still absorbing the Rainbow Pills' power. Since they were still training, Leon took the opportunity to take out the Cuff of Doom and started transferring his energy into it. The Cuff of Doom was a treasure in the Intermediate Almighty State. Since Leon's overall strength reached the Semi-Saint State, it was of no use to him. However, Iris and the others were too weak and he intended to keep saving his energy in the Cuff of Doom. That way, Iris could use it to protect herself. It may come in handy at cr
In the next moment, as Iris, Cynthia, and Snow broke past the bottleneck of their training, so did Ruth and Roanne. Ruth was already in the Intermediate Emperor State. With the help of the Rainbow Pill and her exceptional talent, she broke through two barriers and reached the Peak Emperor State. Roanne was at the highest level amongst them and was already in the Advanced Emperor State. On top of that, she had a dark complex, and her talent rivaled Ruth's. Hence, she managed to get to the Semi-Almighty State with the help of the Rainbow Pill. After succeeding, they continued training to reinforce their power levels before ending their training. At the time, Leon finished saving his energy for the Cuff of Doom, so he put the Cuff of Doom and the Spiritual Pearl away. "Leon, as expected of pills made from a heavenly herb. It's so effective!""It didn't disappoint!" Iris and the others spoke with excitement as they gathered around Leon. Ruth and Roanne were especially exci
"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
