In the following days, Leon recovered from his fatigue and went to the Scammells to gather the herbs he needed, before treating the injuries Renee suffered in her vital organs. Since Renee was badly injured, he had to use compression treatment on her every day for a week before her condition improved. If he was not mistaken, Renee would fully recover within a month. Apart from that, he also took the time to produce more Dragon Pills and Soul Searchers. Dragon Pills were not hard to make. With the Fairy Fruit Alfred found for him and the precious herbs he obtained from the Scammells, he successfully produced over thirty Dragon Pills. This would be sufficient for some time. As for the Soul Searcher, this would be proven useful for the Dragon Corps on their missions to pursue criminals, so the more the better. He spent a whole week producing Soul Searchers and delivered them to Alfred, asking him to distribute them to the other regions. After all that was done, a week pa
"Great, the three of you didn't disappoint me." Leon laughed happily. When the Spears fell apart, the underground community spiraled into chaos. He had Mason, Leo, and Austin training to get to the Initial Almighty State because he wanted the three of them to replace the Southern Boss and balance all the forces in the underground community. This could prevent troubles for the Dragon Corps. Now that the three of them finally reached the Almighty State, they could be useful. However, the circumstances changed. The Southern Boss was dead and the Thompsons were no longer threatened. Given Leon's friendship with the Thompsons, he could easily manage the underground community with the Thompsons' help. Since he did not have many subordinates, he only needed one person to replace the Southern Boss. There was no point for him to waste his resources and arrange all three of them to stay. "Leo, I want you to stay here in the southern region to manage the underground community. A
"Uncle Angus, before treating Elder Thompson, there are two things I need to discuss with you," Leon said. "What is it? Go ahead," Angus said. "First of all, I plan on going to the central region in a few days so I won't have time to manage Cynthion Group in the southern region," Leon explained. "What? You are going to the central region?" Angus and Arthur were a little shocked. Still, on second thought, Cynthion Group's operation in the southern region was stabilizing and it was time for it to expand to increase its influence in Sky County. On top of that, Leon was formidable and accomplished. Limiting himself to a single region would be a waste of his talent. Heading to the central region was a great choice."That's right! Uncle Angus, once I leave the southern region, I want to leave the Thompsons and the Scammells in charge of security and supply. Let us ally. As for profit, the Thompsons and the Scammells will take thirty percent of the total profit. What do you think
"Mister Wolf, we are willing to work with Cynthion Group! Don't worry, we will do our best to not disappoint you," Angus snapped out of it and agreed. Ever since the first time he met Leon, he attempted to suggest a collaboration with Cynthion Group, but Leon turned him down. It was pleasantly surprising that Leon proposed to work with the Thompsons. Though the Thompsons would not have shares in Cynthion Group and could only obtain part of its profit, it was still a considerable amount given Cynthion Group's potential. Angus could not have asked for more. On top of that, Leon did so much for them that the Thompsons would be willing to assist Cynthion Group's growth even if they were not paid. Still, Leon was generous enough to offer them great profit in doing so. Leon was truly a sincere and generous person, and there was no way that Angus would reject such a proposal. "It's settled, then!" Leon smiled. "Sure. What's the second matter you wish to discuss, Mister Wolf?
After the discussion with Angus, Leon immediately starts healing the damage to Arthur's Energy Sea Point to restore his power. It was a tricky process and under his guidance, he and Arthur went into a quiet room for treatment. Angus and the others waited outside the room to not interrupt the treatment. Leon took out two Cleansing Pills and made a potion along with the herbs he obtained from the Scammells, before feeding it to Arthur. He then executed the Eternity Compression Method to clear the blockage in Arthur's circulation and repair the damages. The Fairy Fruit could repair one's circulation. However, the Cleansing Pills only contained a small portion of the Fairy Fruit and could not replace it entirely. Therefore, Leon's treatment only succeeded in restoring half of Arthur's power. If Arthur wished for a full recovery, he would need to rest for quite some time. "Alright, it's done!" Leon withdrew his arms after repairing Arthur's Energy Sea Point. Seeing as the
"Thank you, Mister Wolf. You've helped us so many times that we don't know how we can ever repay you," Arthur snapped out of it and thanked Leon alongside the others. "Elder Thompson, Uncle Angus, you don't have to thank me. Cynthion Group only managed to plant its roots here in the southern region with your help. The Thompsons and I are friends and it's only natural for us to help each other," Leon said with a smile. "Also, Elder Thompson, your Energy Sea Point has just been repaired and your power will not fully recover right away. I will prescribe you some medicine. Take it and within a month or two, your power will be back to its peak," he added. He then gestured for Angus to bring him paper and a pen, before prescribing Arthur. "Sure." Arthur accepted it. "Uncle Angus, if there's nothing else you wish to discuss, I'll take my leave now." Seeing as the treatment for Arthur concluded, he prepared to leave with Leo. "Leon, wait. I'll leave with you." Roanne stepped forwar
"Miss Morrison is still the same. Not getting any better," Iris said worriedly. Like Leon, she also wished that Renee would wake up earlier. However, she was also troubled by the fact that Renee was trying to snatch Leon away. Given how Renee felt about Leon, she may try to win Leon over again once she regained consciousness. In the past, she would have stopped Renee from destroying her relationship with Leon no matter the cost. However, Renee sacrificed herself to save her life and all her resentment toward Renee vanished. Hence, if Renee insisted on pursuing Leon after she woke up, Iris would not know what to do. "Iris, don't worry. I asked someone to help search for the Heavenly Flower a few days ago. I should be able to obtain one soon and cure Renee," Leon mistakenly thought that Iris was worried about Renee's health and consoled her. "I hope so." Iris nodded and felt less worried. Though she did not know how to handle Renee's feelings for Leon, nothing mattered
"No, I don't intend to give up on the market in the eastern and northern regions. I went to the Thompsons and reached an agreement with Uncle Angus. I wish to expand my business to the eastern region through the Thompsons and I'll leave the Morrisons in charge of business in the northern region," Leon explained. He and Cynthia initially planned to expand to the eastern and northern regions after taking over the western region's market. Then, they would establish branches of the Cynthion Group there. However, Renee's condition and the fact that Brahma murdered Scott and the others enraged Leon. He was in a hurry to head to the central region to find and eliminate Brahma, so that he could avenge Renee and the others. Hence, he changed his mind and gave up on establishing branches in the eastern and northern regions. Still, that did not mean he was going to give up on these regions. The eastern region was linked with the southern region and he collaborated with the Thompsons
"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
