"No, you came to the rescue just in time! Just keep transferring your energy and I'm ninety percent sure that I can get Missus Poole to open her eyes!" Relieved, a smile appeared on Leon's face.Vincent was far more powerful than he was and with Vincent’s true energy, it would be easy to repel the cold force that took root within Gloria's body without having to worry about the rebound."Really? That's great!"The Pooles were overjoyed, especially Vincent as Leon said repeatedly that there was no hope at all. The situation took a sharp turn and Leon claimed that there was a ninety percent chance of saving Gloria, so Vincent was over the moon.Time flew by and with the help of Vincent's true energy, Leon managed to repel all the cold force in Gloria's heart."Mister Poole, you can stop now," Leon said, before stopping the compression on Gloria."Mister Wolf, how's my wife?" Vincent asked hastily."She's fine and should wake up soon. I just need to write her some prescription and s
Fane said excitedly."Who's Mister Wolf?" Gloria asked dazedly.Every time she would faint, she was taken care of by Doctor Chase and she only thought that this time was more of the same."Here's what happened," Fane briefly explained the situation, making sure to include the fact that Leon spat blood in the process of saving Missus Poole. Though he did not know what caused Leon to spit blood, it was obvious that Leon's life was in danger."I see. Where's this, Mister Wolf? We must thank him." Learning the risk that Leon took to save her, Gloria struggled to get up, wanting to thank Leon in person."Mom, Leon took over by the cold force and he is currently trying to recover from it," Snow explained.The family of four turned to look at Leon gratefully, as he tried to focus on his circulation.His power level only reached the Advanced Acquired State, which was a far cry from the Realm of Supreme Master that Vincent was at.When Vincent transferred his true energy to Leon earlier
The Pooles misunderstood and were not on the same channel as Leon right from the start.Leon meant that he was going to cure Gloria once and for all, while they thought that he merely helped Gloria in regaining consciousness as Doctor Chase did in the past.After all, Gloria was seen by many doctors and no one, including the Holy Doctor, had the means to cure her. It was only normal for the Pooles to assume that it was already a miracle that Gloria woke up at all."You don't have to worry, Missus Poole! Your illness has been cured completely and you won't faint out of the blue again!" Leon said as he got up and walked over. After focusing on his internal circulation, he managed to repel all cold forces that infiltrated his body and reached the peak Acquired state at the same time."What? I'm cured? Am I hearing this right?" Gloria's jaw dropped as she turned to stare at Leon in disbelief."Yeah! Leon, stop messing with us!"Everyone inside the room, including the Pooles, Doctor C
Vincent was especially impressed.He was slightly appalled by Leon when Leon refused to disclose who taught him martial art and at that point, Vincent gave up on matchmaking Leon and his daughter. However, Leon risked his life to save Gloria and apart from feeling grateful, Vincent started thinking about having Leon as his son-in-law again.As Fane mentioned before, Snow and Leon looked perfect together."Um, I was too excited. Sorry," Realizing what she was doing, Snow blushed and pulled away, before tugging her hair behind her ear sheepishly, not knowing how easy to read she was. "Mister Poole, do you have a piece of paper and a pen? I'll write down Missus Poole's prescription." Feeling slightly awkward, Leon changed the subject."I do. I'll bring them here for you." Fane hurried out to find a pen and paper, before handing them to Leon.Leon left a few recipes for medicine and explained how the medication worked in detail.Vincent took a deep bow at Leon with the recipes in h
"Mister Poole, please spare me! I just mean to get Missus Poole to wake up. I didn't mean to," Terrified, Doctor Chase fell onto his knees.He did not think much of the side effects of the adrenaline injections and he wanted to revive Gloria as soon as possible so that Vincent would reward him handsomely. Naturally, he could not possibly confess his true intention at the time, or Vincent would kill him right there and then.As the Southern King, Vincent would encounter no issue with killing a mere doctor."Vincent, that's enough. Doctor Chase helped me through the past two years. Since he didn't mean to make a mistake, just spare him," Gloria said."No way! This scammer doesn’t have any sense of morals and almost got you killed. I refuse to let him go!" Vincent gritted out furiously."Please! I was wrong! Please have mercy on me," Drenched in sweat, Doctor Chase pleaded."Vincent, just leave him alone. I'm fine right now. Why would you hold him here?" Gloria always had a gentle h
After lunch, Vincent sent Leon back to Cynthion Group.In the president's office, Cynthia stood from her chair when Leon stepped inside. "Leon, you came just in time. There’s something important that I need to tell you.""What is it?" Leon massaged his temple in confusion, feeling slightly light-headed from all the wine that Vincent made him drink at lunch earlier."My brother just called me, saying that he has leads on where to find wild Panax that has grown for five hundred years," Cynthia explained with a smile but was cut off before she could finish."Seriously? That's great!" Overjoyed, Leon immediately sobered.He reached the bottleneck of the Peak Meditation Phase and with a wild Panax that has grown for five hundred years, he could produce the Foundation Pill that could help him work past the bottleneck.He asked for Harvey's help earlier to search for the wild Panax he needed and the wait was worth it. Finally finding leads on what they needed, Leon was over the moon.C
Leon was merely a man and since he was single, he could not be immune to her charm.Before he knew it, Cynthia left a mark in his heart and as their relationship progressed, the two realized that they meant more than friends to one another even though they were not officially dating.So long as Leon agreed, Cynthia would happily become his girlfriend, but he knew that Iris remained to be the love of his life and he could not bring himself to accept Cynthia's feelings.Despite his reluctance, Cynthia was happy with their progress regardless.She knew that Leon was still recovering from the breakup with Iris and was in no rush to start a new relationship. She had the time and patience to wait until he forgot about Iris before she could slip in and replace Iris....A day before the auction, Cynthia drove Leon to Seacove City and the two selected a five-star hotel to stay the night.Inside the hotel room, Cynthia and Leon just settled down when a young couple came knocking on their
She was the daughter of the Doyle Family and while the Doyle Family was far from powerful compared to the Shear Family, Sandra was raised like a princess and had no respect for an assistant."Cynthia, allow me to introduce you to my boyfriend, Leonard. Leonard, this is my best friend from college, the daughter of the Shear Family, Cynthia." Sandra ignored Leon and pulled the young man behind her forward, before proceeding to introduce them."Miss Shear, I've heard a lot about your family. It's my pleasure to get to know you." Leonard smiled politely as he extended his hand to shake Cynthia."Oh, hello!" Still upset that Leon did not claim to be her boyfriend, Cynthia responded casually and ignored the hand extended toward her.Seeing how Cynthia was to Leonard, Sandra thought that it was because Cynthia was not aware of Leonard's background and explained, "Cynthia, Leonard's the son of the Hines Family, one of the most powerful families here in Seacove City.""Well, the Hines Fami
"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
