"Mister Zimmerman. During my inspection, I discovered the outer layer and the inner part of the jadeite are different. Can you three check again to confirm that there is nothing wrong?" Leon asked the appraisers.Although he discovered the difference between the outer layer and inner part of the jadeite, he knew little about jadeite and did not know if it was normal.Thus, he told the appraiser about his findings in the hope that the appraisers could inspect the jadeite to find evidence that the jadeite was not a Mystical Dragon Jade."Sure," the appraisers said.They reinspected the jadeite with their equipment."I see it now!"After Leon's finding, Mister Zimmerman and the two appraisers discovered something too."Mister Zimmerman, what is it? Is there something wrong with the jadeite?" Shally asked nervously."Miss Summers, after another careful inspection, we also discover something wrong with this jadeite. The inner part of the jadeite is a clear green top-quality jade. Ho
"Miss Summers, I don't understand. Like I said, this is a real Mystical Dragon Jade. If you think otherwise, you don't have to buy it."Mister Negus responded quickly and tried to take the jadeite back. He refused to admit it was a fake Mystical Dragon Jade and refused to sell it anymore. In that case, Shally would not buy a fake Mystical Dragon Jade from him and there was nothing she could do.Besides, that would not ruin his reputation by selling a fake Mystical Dragon Jade."Marvin! Your plan has failed! Get out of my shop now!"Shally knew there was nothing she could do since Mister Negus refused to admit it. She asked Marvin and Mister Negus to leave her shop so she did not need to see them anymore."Shally Summers! This is not the end of it. That guy insulted me. If you want me to leave, you have to do something to satisfy me!" Marvin said angrily while pointing his finger at Leon.His plan was perfect. However, it was ruined because of Leon. He could not just leave after b
"Damn it!" Shally shouted nervously as Marvin made his move at Leon. Quickly, she took a step forward to protect Leon with the thought of blocking Marvin's attack."Shally! Marvin's more powerful than you. You can't hold him. Get away! Don't get yourself involved in their matters!" Lucian panicked and shouted out.He tried to remind Shally that she was not Marvin's opponent and wanted Shally to move away to avoid getting hurt when Marvin attacked Leon."Lucian. How could you say that? After what Mister Wolf did for us. Marvin is angry at him because he helped us and our family business. How could we do nothing when he is in danger?" Shally rebuked unhappily."I-" Lucian did not know what to say. He knew Shally and the family business would be in trouble if it were not for Leon. However, he did not like Leon due to the conflict he had with Leon earlier.Marvin was one of their generation's best and most powerful martial artists. Without a doubt, Shally and her people did not have t
"Hey! Did you just call me an insect? Fine! If you wish to die, I shall grant you your wish!"The anger welled up in Marvin's chest. He was so angry that he found it amusing. Without any hesitation, he swung his fist viciously in the direction where Leon and Shally were standing. So fierce and sharp as if there was nothing in this world that could stop him from killing Leon.If Shally dared to stop him, he did not mind killing Shally too."We're finished!" Shally's heart sank.Leon was innocent and only got into this mess because of her. Despite knowing she was not Marvin's opponent, she could not stand by and watched Marvin blame Leon and want to hurt Leon.Thus, she got herself ready and prepared to block Marvin's attack by throwing a punch at Marvin. Then again, before she could do it, something unexpected happened."You're very arrogant for being in the Advanced Overlord State. How naive," Leon snorted.He took a step forward and moved in a flash. Before anyone could see it,
"Mister Norton, are you hurt? Are you alright?"Finally, Marvin's guards pulled themselves together and hurried over to Marvin to help Marvin get up from the floor."Donald, that bastard broke my arm and ribs. Don't let him get away. I want him to see him end up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!" Marvin commanded angrily as he endured the pain from his injury.The only thought in his mind was to get his revenge. Hurting Leon was the only thing that could relieve his pain now."Yes, sir!" The guards answered and stomped toward Leon angrily and viciously."How dare you hurt Mister Norton? You have to pay for that. Die!" The guards reprimanded Leon harshly.As they each stood on the left and right side of Leon, they sent out a powerful attack with an overwhelming and unrivaled might at Leon."Intermediate Emperor State?" Leon raised his brow and looked disdained.From the guards' attacks, he could tell the power level of the guards was just Intermediate Emperor State. Wher
Bang! Bang!What followed was two loud sounds after Leon's attack crashed at Marvin's guards' attacks. The same thing happened again.The residual force from Leon's attack continued to whirl toward the guards and hit them. The guards got blasted and sent flying nearly 10 feet away because of the force.As they crash-landed, a pain came striking at their chests. Both of them spat out a mouthful of blood and laid down on the floor looking weak. Following Marvin's footsteps, they too also lost the ability to fight."What the? How— How could that be?"Shally, Lucian, and Marvin were dumbfounded and shocked. Especially Lucian and Marvin. They never thought Leon could defeat the guards because of his age.Yet, the cruel reality slapped them in the face. A cold, hard slap.Never did they dream Leon could stop the guards' powerful attacks with just a swing of his hand and easily injure them too. It was just unbelievable.For a minute there, they felt so shocked that their jaws nearly d
After Marvin and the guards got thrown out of the shop, Shally approached Leon."Mister Wolf, thank you very much. Thank you for exposing Marvin and Mister Negus. Thank you for saving my business," Shally expressed her gratitude."You're welcome, Miss Summers. We're friends, aren't we? It's what friends do for each other," Leon smiled back."Yes, you're right. We're friends," Shally said happily after a brief stun moment.She sold the villa and jadeite to Leon at a discounted price because she wanted to get close to Leon. Never did she expect that being Leon's friend could help her out of the mess she was today.If it was not for Leon, she and her family business would be in turmoil."Mister Wolf, you have an incredibly high power level at your age. If I'm not wrong, I think you must be a direct descendant of a major family in the Western Region," Shally presumed.Since there was no movement of true energy on Leon, Shally could not tell how high Leon's power level was. The fact
After Leon and the others left the shop, Shally and Lucian went back to their office to deal with the new supplies. Their work only finished during the evening. Then they went back to the manor.Meanwhile, Elder Summers, the five elders, and the core family member of the summers were sitting in the living room to discuss the future development of the family business. When Shally and Lucian arrived, they went straight to the living room to report about the new supplier they found."Hi, Grandpa. Uncles," Shally greeted."Mister Summers," Lucian also greeted the leader of the family which was Shally's grandpa.Shally was the granddaughter of the leader of the family, Keith Summers. She was also the only grandchild of the main family.Sometimes, Shally called Lucian her cousin but Lucian was not Keith's descendant. In reality, he was the grandson of the Great Elder of the family. Therefore, he was a distant relative and not a close relative of Shally.That was the reason why he had t
"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
