Leon followed the Shear siblings to the living and saw Benedict waiting.At the time when Leon successfully produced the alchemical pills, Benefit immediately had an idea of working with him.Since all the preparation was in place, he decided to invite Leon over for further discussion.After greeting one another, they all took their seats."Leon, about our collaboration on the alchemical pills, I've purchased a pharmaceutical firm and I plan to invest 130 million into it. Cynthia will represent the Shear Family in the collaboration with you. This company will focus on selling all forms of medication and we will leave the production of high-end alchemical pills to you..." Benedict said.The Shear Family ran the biggest supply chain for raw materials needed for medicine in all cities in the area but never launched their line of products.Leon was skilled in medicine and knew all forms of medication, which would be proven useful in changing that and broadening the Shear Family's infl
"So, I might not be able to focus solely on the pills just yet..." Leon said hesitantly.He did not want to leave Elegante Group mainly because of Iris. Though he wanted to run a business on his own, Iris still meant more to him than his career."Um..." Benedict and the Shear siblings were all taken by surprise when he heard Leon's request.Leon was officially the head of the pharmaceutical firm with his possession of sixty percent of the share and instead of gloating about the position, he preferred to work as a secretary.It was a strange request, to say the least, and Leon was aware of it. He flushed and added, "Don't worry, though. I have some effective formulas that I can hand over to the company for mass production. As far as the alchemical pills the firm needs, I'll give it my best and won't cause any delay...""Okay... Sure. If you have those formulas, that would be the best!" Benedict was overjoyed. Knowing how talented Leon was, he knew that the formulas Leon provided woul
Taking the beauty pills would slow aging; the life-prolonging pulls and nurturing pills would improve one's immune system and prolong lifespan; the styptic pills would work wonders for external injuries while the circulation pills would be effective on internal injuries...."Will these be enough?" Leon asked.He had plenty more recipes in his mind, but as his power level was too low he could only produce some of the simpler pills and was not capable of producing pills of a higher level just yet."These are pretty great, but not enough to capture the public's eyes..." Benedict scowled.He knew just how talented Leon was, and was certain that the pills he proposed would work a hundredfold better than other supplements with great demand in the market. However, the pills that Leon proposed had a more prolonged effect and might not be beneficial to bring attention to the company's name.An idea happened to Leon. "I've come across quite a few martial artists recently and I can make som
"Get past the bottleneck of their training? Mister Wolf, are you saying that I might be able to get past the peak of the Innate State and ascend to the realm of a Supreme Master?" Harvey's eyes lit up.There were great gaps in between each level and not only would it take years of hard work to break past those gaps, one would require tremendous talent and luck to succeed.Harvey stopped at the peak of the Innate State for over two years and it was his dream to reach the realm of a Supreme Master, as only those who succeeded would be referred to as the truly powerful."The pills are effective for anyone who hasn't reached the peak of the realm of a Supreme Master!" Leon nodded."That's great!" Harvey was excited, but then sank back into his chair when he remembered that it would require wild Panax or fleece flower roots that have grown for over five hundred years.The best-kept ingredient in the Shear Family was a Panax that grew for three hundred and sixty years, and it was alread
Leon gaped at the trap-like question and said, "You're both beautiful, just in different ways.""Wow, you aren't even trying. You don't sound convincing at all!" Cynthia rolled her eyes at him, but seemed content with his answer.Just then, they arrived at the gate of the mansion and she waved one of the guards over. "Captain, Leon didn't drive here so please send him back!"The guard agreed and drove Leon home....In the mansion at the Dragonbay Villas, Leon arrived home.Louisa returned home from school and just finished dinner with Iris."Leon, I asked you to stay with Louisa today, so why did you go elsewhere?" Iris pouted."Um... Something came up so I had to leave." He smiled sheepishly and felt slightly confused. Judging from the look on Iris's face, it seemed like Louisa did not mention what happened earlier.He soon realized that Louisa only remained quiet about it to avoid getting lectured by Iris, because she was the one who insisted on going to a bar when it was no
"You're no one to my cousin, so why are you worried that she might misunderstand? As I expected, you are into my cousin!" Louisa stared at Leon intently."You... What are you talking about? I'm not into Iris." Leon looked away guiltily."How stubborn! You have the power and the strength, yet you are willing to be Iris's secretary and insist on staying here at her place! Why else would you do that if you are not interested in her?" Louisa smirked"Um..." Rendered speechless, Leon realized that he could never win an argument against Louisa."Lewd, just tell the truth. Do you like my cousin or not?" Louisa's lips curled into a smug smile as she continued to tease him."I..." Leon's hurt began to hurt. He never imagined being asked the same question twice by Cynthia an hour ago, only to be confronted again by Louisa.'Are all women this nosy?' He thought to himself."I already know the answer, anyway! My cousin is the most beautiful woman in Springfield City, so any man would fall fo
Naturally, she knew her cousin well enough to know that if Iris was willing to let a man stay with her for such a long period, it was likely that Iris had feelings for Leon as well. Since the two were interested in one another, Louisa did not mind pulling the strings to matchmake them and get the chance of learning the ways of martial arts in return."I'm not..." Leon was about to deny her assumption that he was a Supreme Master but soon realized that Louisa would not help him with pursuing Iris if she learned the truth."Ahem. That's right. I'm a martial artist in the realm of a Supreme Master!" He said proudly, drawn to Louisa's proposal. With her help, he would be able to pursue Iris and dating Iris was his deepest desire at the moment.However, since he was not an actual martial artist, it would be difficult for him to teach Louisa the ways of martial arts."So, is that a yes?" She urged, concerned that Leon might decide otherwise."Louisa, according to what I understand, plent
He simply needed to select a method that was suitable for women and teach Louisa its way. His only concern was that as a sage artist, he might struggle to teach Louisa the ways of martial arts."Yay! Lewd, you are the best!" Excited, Louisa threw herself into his arms like a child who was just given candies."You..." Leon gaped when he sensed the softness of her chest pressed against his arm.Louisa was spontaneous and it could be draining to handle her at times, but during the rare moments when she acted like a sweet, innocent girl, they were enough to melt the hearts of countless men.'She changes mood like changing clothes!' He thought."Alright, go ahead and teach me now!" She suppressed the excitement boiling within her and urged."Just wait. Let me think." He closed his eyes and searched through the secret methods in his mind.Just then, someone knocked on the door, startling both Leon and Louisa."Leon, it's me. Are you asleep?" Iris's voice came from across the door."
"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
