Quinton fell onto his knees and pleaded.After losing his power, he visited countless doctors in secret, but no one was able to tell him what was wrong with him. The only person who managed to diagnose his condition suggested that he try consuming a wild Panax that grew for hundreds of years, but even so, the chances of recovery were slim.Unlike the others, Leon diagnosed his condition with extreme precision, which meant that Leon was far more talented and experienced than the doctors he saw in the past and this gave Quinton hope.Leon hurried over to help Quinton up. "Please get up, Mister Hunt! I'm a medicine expert and I have to help people in need, so I was never going to leave you for death even if you refused to trade with the Panax! I've already thought of a way to treat you. It's a bit risky, but it should be fine. A full recovery can be expected!""Really? That's great!" Quinton was overjoyed. He was seen by countless doctors and none of them were able to help him, so he
Leon smiled and signaled Quinton to sit down on the ground. Soon, the Energy Nurturing Pills Quinton took began to take effect and transformed into streams of energy that coursed through his body.The pure forces of energy repelled one another and soon, Quinton began flushing, feeling as though he was about to burst.Leon leaped into action to perform the Six Points of Fate, swiftly pressing on the compression points on Quinton's chest to protect his heart from the energy forces.The internal injuries inside Quinton's body were caused by the blockages in his internal circulation when he lost control of his power during training.Leon asked Quinton to take multiple Energy Nurturing Pills in hope that the pure energy of the pills would be strong enough to unclog the blockages. Once his internal circulation was unclogged, Quinton was mostly cured and would only need to take supplements for a time before achieving a full recovery.Leon began the treatment and his spiritual energy bega
"Not only have you treated my internal injuries, but you have also helped me get to the Realm of a Supreme Master! I will never forget what you've done for me!" Quinton turned to glare daggers at his bodyguards. "Mister Wolf was helping me and the two of you have disrespected him! Get on your knees and apologize!""Yes, sir!" The two men immediately fell onto their knees, "we were wrong just now, Mister Wolf. Please forgive us," they apologized sincerely, both in awe over Leon's skills."Get up, all of you! It's nothing and you don't have to get on your knees over it." Leon hurried over to help the three up from the ground."Mister Wolf, I cannot thank you enough! This is the Panax I promised you. Please accept this." Quinton took out the wild Panax he purchased from the auction and presented it to Leon."Thank you. I'll accept this." Leon accepted the wild Panax. After all, he came to Seacove City for it, and now that he finally obtained it, he could return with peace of mind."A
"Mister Hunt, to tell you the truth, Cynthion Group has not begun the production of the second batch of Energy Nurturing Pills. If you want to work with us, you might have to wait," Leon confessed.The Hunts were one of the three most powerful families in Seacove City that had great connections and financial power. Out of consideration for future development, Cynthion Group would eventually have to expand to other markets, and working with the Hunts would be a great option.However, the supply of the Energy Nurturing Pills was not sufficient to fulfill the demand for them and Leon could not give Quinton his word just yet."It's fine. So long as we confirm that we do want to work toward a partnership, we can draw a proposal on certain details. Once the second batch of the Energy Nurturing Pills is ready, just let me know and I'll travel to Springfield City myself to collect them!" Quinton said, desperate in securing the right to sell the Energy Nurturing Pills in Cynthion Group's nam
It was Quinton's second cousin, Marcus."How do you know about that?" Quinton's expression darkened. He did not only tell the members of his family about what happened and no one should know apart from his two bodyguards. However, he then remembered that he visited a great number of doctors in secret and perhaps one of them let words slip."Quinton, is what he said true? Have you turned into a good-for-nothing?" Francis's expression darkened. At the age of eighty, his health began to decline and he planned his retirement. Unfortunately, the second generation of the Hunts was all mediocre; the third generation proved themselves more worthy and Quinton was the brightest among all.Francis was glad and trained Quinton as his heir. If Quinton truly lost his power, he would no longer qualify as the future leader of the Hunts."I didn't! Grandpa, don't listen to Marcus. I didn't show my face lately because I'm focusing on my training so that I can reach the Realm of a Supreme Master as s
Quinton kept his composure."It's fine. If you manage to hurt me, I'll admit defeat!" Marcus snorted. He was at the Peak Innate State and since he was at the same level as Quinton, Quinton would struggle to defeat him even when he was at his best. With Quinton losing his power, he could not possibly injure Marcus."Alright. Remember what you said." Marcus smiled as he waited for those words."Quinton, Marcus, this is just a match. Do try not to injure each other!" Francis said, not interfering with the fight as he desperately wished to see if Quinton truly lost his power.Everyone took a few steps back to make space for the two."Quinton, don't blame me for this! Take this!" Marcus smirked as he struck at the speed of lightning, determined to defeat Quinton in front of Francis and replace him as the heir to the family."Know your strength!" Quinton snorted without dodging, before throwing a punch toward Marcus."Baam!"Following the deafening noise, the true energy around Quint
The fact that Quinton managed to do that at his age put him firmly at the top place among the youths of Seacove City!Even though Francis experienced quite a lot in his years, he could not help but feel emotional. He was proud of his grandson!"Marcus, I already told you before this. I just became a Supreme Master not too long ago. I can't control my strength very well. I accidentally injured you this time, please don't blame me," Quinton looked at Marcus and let out an apologetic smile."You-" Marcus's face soured, but he could say nothing.After all, he was the one who suggested the match. Quinton already warned him about it. He was forced to just swallow the fact that he was in this predicament! "Quinton, you don't have to put on an act like that! Since you're already a Supreme Master, you just had to unleash your aura to prove your strength just now! Yet, you deliberately put on an act and agreed to the match. Marcus only fell for it because he was careless!" Cadence said ang
Even though they were at Seacove City and not Springfield, the Energy Nurturing Pills from Cythion were still incredibly famous. He heard of it before and knew how important those pills were to a martial artist's training.Whether it was in terms of market value or potential, the Energy Nurturing Pills were something that could not be replaced!"Grandfather, I represented the Hunts and already made an agreement with them for the Energy Nurturing Pills. In the future, we'll get the rights to distribute Energy Nurturing Pills in Seacove City when they expand here!" Marcus shared the good news."Really? That's amazing!" Francis was elated. He slouched like an old man earlier, but he immediately straightened his back. Suddenly, he seemed like a different person.Anyone who controlled the Energy Nurturing Pills controlled the lives of martial artists. It was massive!The fact that the Hunts managed to gain the rights to distribution from Cythion within Seacove City meant that the Hun
"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
