"You bumpkin! We are all of age now, so why can't we go?" Louisa straightened her back proudly.When she was younger, her parents kept a close eye on her and she could not go to a bar, but she was recently freed from their restraints and had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday.For someone as playful as Louisa, she was determined to go to a bar out of curiosity."Yeah, we are technically adults now." Annie itched to go as well.Both Annie and Louisa came from wealthy families and were more prone to seeking excitement."Let's not. Those places are dangerous. Let's not go..." Lacey whispered."What's there to fear? This is a civilized society. A bar is just a similar thing to a karaoke club! Lacey, don't worry. This is my treat! Let's have some fun!" Louisa said, before grabbing her friends by the arms and leading them out of the campus."No. You can't go to a bar!" Leon darted up to stand in their ways."Move away! Stay out of my way! We can go anywhere we want! If you don't
Many stared at Leon in jealousy.Leon ignored the crowd and ordered drinks with mild alcohol content and some fruits.Louisa and the other two were just students and had no habit of drinking. They had only come to the bar out of curiosity, so they did not argue with his choice of drinks.Just then, Leon's phone started to vibrate. He took it out and saw Cynthia's name on the screen.Since the music inside the bar was too loud, he could not answer the call inside.Leon let the three women next to him know, before heading outside to answer the phone call.As soon as he left, the other customers immediately started eyeing the three like they were preys.A tall, muscular man in his early twenties hurried over with a glass of cocktail in hand."Hello, ladies. Do I have the pleasure of being friends with you?" The young man said and shot them a charming smile.Seeing how he did not seem to be a bad person, Louisa hesitated, before nodding. "Sure.""Really? I'm so glad!" The young m
"Lewd, what do you think you are doing? Joseph is my new friend and we are talking about martial arts. Get out of the way!" Louisa roared in irritation and shoved at Leon, but could not manage to shove him aside."No way! Louisa, one look and anyone can tell that he's a bad person. Don't get fooled!" Leon said."Who are you calling a bad person?" Joseph was furious, but could tell that Leon was Louisa's acquaintance, so he calmed himself and asked, "Louisa, who is this? Who is he to you?""Oh, he's just a servant at my cousin's. Not worthy of our time..." Louisa snorted in contempt."Just a servant, huh?" Joseph sneered and waved his fist. "Brat, I'm warning you. Go away, or I'm going to beat your ass!""As if you can!" Leon chuckled. As a person surpassing the Initial Innate State, he had no fear for the likes of Joseph."How dare you?!" Enraged, Joseph raised his arm, eager to teach Leon a lesson while showcasing his strength in front of Louisa.Louisa sat back with a smirk. S
Just thinking about it made him quite emotional!Seeing as Joseph was forcefully trying to take charge, Leon decided against doing anything. He put Louisa and the other women behind him, and retreated backwards so they would not get hurt."Where the heck did you come from?! Do you want to die?!" Ricky was furious as he shot his subordinates a glance. They immediately surrounded Joseph.Joseph did not waste any time, taking the initiative as he kicked Ricky right on the chest. Ricky was sent flying into the bar counter behind him. The bottles of alcohol were sent crashing to the ground."How dare you hit Ricky?! Brothers, let's get this guy together!" One of the subordinates shouted angrily, getting the others to charge at Ricky fiercely.Ricky crawled up from the ground in a pathetic manner, incredibly furious as he picked out a broken bottle from next to him and rejoined the battle.Bang bang bang!Ricky was quite the competent external martial artist, so there was no way those
Joseph smirked smugly.He went to plenty of bars and clubs and it was his first visit to the Blue Moon Bar, so he did not hear of Mister White; Nonetheless, he just showed his strength off in front of everything and was at the hype of excitement, so he would not have cared even if he heard of Mister White."I don't care who started it. This bar has its rules! Since you didn't mean it, I'll give you a chance. Get down on your knees, apologize, and compensate double the losses, and I'll let you go! If you refuse, I'll break a limb on your body! Make your choice!" Mister White said coldly."Mister White, we're willing to apologize and compensate..." Ricky sighed a breath of relief. He and his men fell to their knees and compensated for the losses."Now, it's your turn!" Mister White turned to glare at Joseph.Joseph stood up for Louisa, so he treated the group as Joseph's accomplices."I can compensate for a part of the losses, but double the amount is unreasonable! As far as gettin
Disappointed by Joseph's performance, the crowd erupted in a heated discussion."I thought he was a skilled fighter. How could he lose after just one move?" Louisa was stunned. She thought that Joseph was a rare talent, only to realize that he bragged all along. "Damn it! He's a liar. I almost fell for it!" She muttered angrily, her admiration toward Joseph vanishing with no trace. When she thought of how she was fooled, she felt so frustrated that she wished she could kick Joseph in the face."I told you not to be fooled, and you just wouldn't listen! He is just trained in external power, so he is in no way a match for an expert in internal power! How could he be a martial artist?" Leon snorted."Talking like you're any better. If it was you, that old guy would have crushed you like a fly!" Louisa glanced at Leon in contempt. In her mind, she categorized Joseph and Leon into the same group of men.Joseph flushed at the mocking comments directed at him, desperately wishing that he c
"Kneel, or have one of your limbs broken. Choose!" Mister White warned coldly.Enraged, Leon retorted, "and if I refuse?""Lewd, you..." Louisa was shocked. She did not expect Leon to stand his ground in the face of someone like Mister White despite seeing how Joseph was defeated and was rather impressed."Good. Very well!" Mister White laughed, "brat, seeing how courageous you are, I'll give you another chance! These beautiful ladies are still young, so it is a shame to break their limbs! How about this? Take one for the team. I'll break two of your limbs and we'll call it a day!""Sure! You are more than welcome to do it if you can!" Leon said calmly"Lewd... are you messing around?" Stunned, Louisa could not believe what she heard.Due to what happened in the bathroom the night before, she was extremely rude toward Leon. Not only did Leon not hold a grudge toward her, but he also took all the responsibility in such a dangerous situation. Despite her first impression of Leon, sh
He had previously detected no flow of true energy from Leon and concluded that Leon, like Joseph, was merely a fighter wielding external power. Mister White had nothing to fear because Leon was not even a martial artist, and he was a man in the Advanced Acquired State."Lewd, beware!!!" Louisa paled and screamed, agreeing with the others that Leon would not survive Mister White's assault because it was unrealistic to expect him to.Joseph, on the other hand, was desperate for Leon to suffer the same fate as him so that he would not be the only one who embarrassed himself."How dare you act all smug with these little tricks?!" Leon sneered and stood his ground, almost as if he was afraid to move.Leon blocked Mister White's attack with one hand while clenching his fist with the other and striking Mister White in the chest, just as the others were certain of his defeat."Pfft!!!' Mister White spat blood and flew away like a broken kite, slamming into the stage in full force behind
"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
