Leon appeared to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.The Energy Nurturing Pills distilled the essence of numerous expensive ingredients. Their true energy was extremely pure. Normally, it would take time to gradually refine.Cynthia, on the other hand, has yet to refine the previous pill she consumed, despite the fact that she consumed a dozen pills in a row. That was just looking for death! "What?" Benedict and the others were stunned.Cynthia, in particular, felt the dozen Energy Nurturing Pills converting into true energy and wilding infusing throughout her body.Extreme measures would only produce the opposite effect!The true energy was excessive. Her body simply couldn't handle it. Her face soon turned bright red. Her internal circulation seemed to be on the verge of exploding.Benedict and Harvey became concerned as Cynthia's situation deteriorated. "What should we do right now, Leon? Please try to find a way to save Cynthia...""Don't worry, Elder Shear. I'm workin
"Come with me!"Leon understood the urgency of the situation. He could not waste any time, so he lifted Cynthia and walked toward the core of the Energy Convergence Circle.Entering the circle, Leon carefully placed Cynthia by the side of the core. He got Cynthia to sit on the grass, then he applied the Six Points of Fate. He applied pressure on the pressure points surrounding Cynthia's chest and abdomen.The Six Points of Fate, reversing fate! With Leon's application, the spiritual energy flowed from his palms nonstop into Cynthia's body, blocking the rampage of the dozen flows of true energy, also controlling those flows of true energy, and gradually starting to merge them.This action was extremely depleting of spiritual energy. Even if he had a constant source of spiritual energy replenishment from the Energy Convergence Circle behind him, the speed of replenishment was too slow. Naturally, it could not compete with the depletion of spiritual energy.Soon after, Leon's face
"Cynthia! Don't touch him!" Benedict exclaimed and used his arm to stop his granddaughter."Grandfather, what are you doing? Didn't you see how badly injured Leon is? We need to send him to the hospital as soon as possible…" Cynthia panicked and stomped her feet anxiously.Her tears were about to burst out of her eyes."It's alright. He's using his energy to recover now! Besides, don't forget how good his medical skills are. I'm sure he has a way to heal himself. There's no need to send him to the hospital," Benedict comforted.With Leon's excellent skill in practicing medicine, it would be useless for them to send him to the hospital if he could not heal himself.Cynthia followed her grandfather's sight and looked over. Leon closed his eyes and sat on the grass with his legs crossed. He used his energy to heal his injury.Seeing that with her own eyes, Cynthia was less worried. Despite that, she continued to gaze and monitor Leon's movement. Her face still looked very worried.
Leon was not alone.Benedict and Harvey were both dumbfounded too. They exchanged looks with each other. Soon, they understood what was going on."Cough, cough…" Benedict pretended to cough after realizing it.It pulled Cynthia out of her emotional breakdown. Only then did she realize her action was inappropriate. Her cheeks turned rosy as she quickly left Leon's arms. Her head was lowered because she did not dare to make eye contact with him.Leon thought she was just overjoyed and too impulsive so he did not think too much about it."Leon, I'm grateful for you. Not only did you save Cynthia's life, but you also helped her to reach the Intermediate Innate State… The things you did for my family are too much. How can I ever repay you?" Benedict said gratefully.Both Harvey and Cynthia were very grateful too. Especially Cynthia. Her eyes were shimmering with colors and her heart was falling for someone."Elder Shear, you are too kind. I was the one who neglected it. If I reminded
"Since we're the ones who supplied the ingredient and you are the one who created it, theoretically speaking, both parties get half the credit and so are the pills…"Benedict took out one hundred and eighty Energy Nurturing Pills to pass to Leon."I don't need that many. I already took a bottle of Spirit Nurturing Pill just now. You just need to give me a hundred Energy Nurturing Pills."Leon shook his head and only took away a hundred premium Energy Nurturing Pills. If it was in the past, he would leave all the pills to the Shears. Now that he was both a sage and a martial artist, he required the pills. And so did Iris and Louisa."Thank you very much," Benedict smiled.The Shears was an ancient martial art family. The premium Energy Nurturing Pill would do many goods for the family. He was grateful that Leon only took away one hundred of them and left the remaining to his family so he did not reject the kind offer.After they distributed the pills, Leon stayed for dinner becaus
Iris covered her mouth and laughed. She could not help and save Leon when she saw Leon was stupefied because of Louisa."Iris, I'm just kidding with him. Why are you in a hurry to protect him? You're not in a relationship with him anyway," Louisa giggled and started to make fun of Iris."Nonsense! I… I'm not protecting him." Iris's cheek became rosy as she felt embarrassed by what Louisa said."Oh? I thought you're feeling sorry for him!" Iris continued like a child daring to do great mischief."You… You keep on talking rubbish. I don't want to speak with you anymore!" Iris was so shy that she gave Louisa a fierce glare. After that, she took an Energy Nurturing Pill and ate it.Looking at Iris's exquisite and pretty face, Leon was attracted to it. He secretly gave Louisa a thumbs up and complimented in his heart, 'Louisa's so awesome. She didn't fail my expectation!'Louisa winked and both of them said nothing about it.After the round of jokes, three of them each took an Energy
That was not all.With help from Louisa, his relationship with Iris was becoming closer. They spent much of their time together and their affection for each other grew. The only thing left was the right timing and opportunity.It was a Saturday. Leon and Iris were not working and Louisa did not need to go to school."Iris, since it's Saturday, why don't we go shopping and watch a movie?" Louisa crackled and grabbed Iris's arm."That's right. I heard there's a comedy on air that's pretty good. We can go and watch it," Leon quickly agreed with the suggestion.He got the hint and knew Louisa was helping him to create an opportunity! Other than being a little quirky, his future cousin-in-law treated him quite well.'Umm… Alright." After a little hesitation, Iris nodded and agreed.It would be considered a date if she had to go shopping and watch a movie with Leon alone. She probably would reject the suggestion with her reserved personality. However, it was a different story if three
Back at the Sullivan Mansion.Both Samuel and Brody were in the living room."Dad, you said you hired some people to deal with Leon, didn't you? It's been a few days. How come there hasn't been any news?" Brody inquired, his voice tense."Don't freak out. You must be patient with everything. This time, I've hired The Winged Tiger, Xander Long. He is far more powerful and influential than Mason. It's a simple task for him to deal with Leon, that loser," Samuel said as he brewed a cup of coffee.He had no idea how powerful Leon was, but he knew Xander was a leader in the Gangster World. The Northern King also backed Xander up. Leon was only one man, no matter how powerful he was. He was never going to be able to defeat Xander."Yes, you're right." Brody nodded, feeling more at ease.Someone was walking over in a hurry at the time. The butler entered from the outside. "Master, someone by the name of Xander Long has asked to see you. He stated that it is urgent...""Xander Long is h
"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
