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
"The Four Tigers are known as the bosses of this city for years. No one can afford to cross them!""This brat has gotten himself in trouble with the Descending Tiger. Even if he can fight, he won't be able to survive this one!""Once the Descending Tiger gets here, he's going to get killed!"The crowd gasped and turned to look at Leon sympathetically.Mister White studied Leon with a cold, smug smirk. From what he could sense, Leon just reached the Innate State and Master Shelton would be able to defeat Leon with ease given his level of Intermediate Innate State."The Intermediate Innate State?" Leon muttered, paling slightly.Though he surpassed the Initial Innate State, he was still far from reaching the Intermediate Innate State and if faced with someone of that level, he had no chance of winning."Louisa, let's go!" Leon grabbed Louisa's hand hastily, desperate to leave before the Descending Tiger arrived."You caused troubles in my territory and expect to just leave? It's
They all thought that Leon would be left with no choice but to get down on his knees and apologize once the Descending Tiger arrived; what they did not expect to see was the Descending Tiger, Master Shelton, kneel instead.'Wh- What is going on? Has the Descending Tiger lost his mind?' Everyone thought as silence loomed over the crowd, shooting one another strange looks as they gaped."Master Shelton, what are you doing? This brat..." Mister White muttered in disbelief.Mason interrupted him immediately. "How dare you?!" He got up and slapped Mister White in the face. "Do you know who this is? He's Mister Wolf! How dare you call him a brat? Kneel and apologize! Beg for Mister Wolf's forgiveness!"Sensing how furious Mason was, Mister White shivered and kneeled. "Mis- Mister Wolf, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you..."The crowd was stunned as they thought to themselves, 'Who's this kid to intimidate the Descending Tiger to such an extent?! It's just unbelievable!'Naturally,
He noticed that it was a personal grudge, and though he did not want to get involved, Mason was technically his subordinate so he could not stand idly by. All concerns aside, his level was approaching that of the Intermediate Innate State and with Mason's help, they should be able to defeat Xander."That’s great!" Mason was overjoyed. He thought that Leon was a Supreme Master and with his help, Xander would not stand a chance."Wow, more drama! Annie, Lacey, let's go and check it out!" Louisa said excitedly. She always appreciated chaos and refused to miss the drama. She grabbed Annie and Lacey's hands and hurried out of the bar after Mason and Leon.Sensing what was about to happen, some of the customers hastily paid their bills before leaving, while some of the braver ones headed outside, including Joseph.Though he made a fool of himself earlier, Louisa was simply far too beautiful for him to give up. As long as he found a way to get her number, he would have tricks to change he
As Mason's territories overlapped with some of Xander, there were conflicts between the two for years as they fought over territories.Mason had eight areas under his control at first, but his power level stopped growing ever since he was injured by Xander six years ago, which Xander saw as an opportunity to slowly eat up half of Mason's territories over the years. In the present, Mason was merely left with three major areas to his name.Fortunately for him, he had the Southern King's protection and Xander could only move slowly to take over his territories instead of killing him right away.However, due to the shrinking of his territories, the profit Mason was capable of offering to the Southern King declined and as he failed to grow any stronger throughout the years, he was no longer as important to the Southern King. He was merely a man who worked for the Southern King and without any value to offer, he became a pawn that could be easily cast aside.No longer concerned about the
He finally understood why Mason acted so lowly in front of Leon. It was because Leon was a Supreme Master at such a young age.Apart from Mister White, everyone else was confused. Being ordinary people with no in-depth knowledge of martial arts, they had no clue as to what a Supreme Master was. It sounded intimidating, but they would not know anything unless they saw it with their own eyes.Louisa, on the other hand, beamed as she stared at Leon heatedly."Mason, did you just say that this brat is a Supreme Master?" Xander pointed at Leon with an odd look on his face, before bursting into laughter.He obtained all details about Leon and knew that Leon was an orphaned good-for-nothing and that he was not even a martial artist. Considering Leon's age, if he was truly a Supreme Master, he would be well-known as a rare talent amongst people his age, yet Xander never heard Leon's name.All evidence pointed to the fact that Leon could not possibly be a Supreme Master."What are you lau
"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
