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
"It's just that we already have a prior arrangement. I'm afraid we can't accept your invitation. Please forgive us," Leon smiled apologetically."That's right, the two of us already have an appointment," Cynthia nodded and said.She agreed with Sandra last night to meet with Sandra in the afternoon to talk about working together on the Beauty pills and the like. She would not miss out on her appointments."That-" Francis frowned, finding himself in a difficult spot."Grandfather, since Mister Wolf and Miss Shear are busy in the afternoon, why don't we make it dinner instead? When they have time later tonight, we can invite them over," Quinton suggested."Of course, we can make it a dinner instead! Mister Wolf, Miss Shear, are you free tonight?" Francis asked."We should be free tonight," Leon answered."Alright, then let's have it at night. The two of you have to come," Francis said with a smile."Alright, then we'll gladly accept your invitation," Leon nodded, no longer reject
He had a suit on and looked like a very successful businessman."Dad, let me introduce you to the chairman of Springfield City's Cythion Group, Leon Wolf. This is Cynthia Shear, the president of Cynthion Group. She's also a good friend of mine from university," Sandra happily made some introductions."Mister Doyle, hello. We're very happy to meet you."Leon and Cynthia both gave their greetings."Mister Wolf, Miss Shear, I've already prepared lunch. Please come with me, we can eat as we talk," Charles said in a friendly manner. All of them followed him to the dining room.The dining room was very luxuriously decorated. The table was already full of dishes."Mister Wolf, I've already heard about what happened last night from Sandra. It's all thanks to you for being quick-witted and brave that the dangerous situation was averted. Otherwise, the results would have been disastrous," Charles praised without any reservation."Mister Doyle, you're praising me too much," Leon said with
"Leon, could they be here for us?" Cynthia frowned, vaguely guessing the reason for Leonard's visit."Yes, it's possible. Come, let's go see what's happening as well," Leon said.He was no idiot. He quickly sent Quinton a message before he walked out with Cynthia.In the yard, Leonard had a cast on his leg, and he had bandages all over his body. He looked to be in a bad state.Next to him was an imperious-looking young man.The man was about thirty years of age, and he had a proud look about him. He was the eldest son of the Hines, Ryan.Behind Ryan were over twenty guards from their family. All of the guards were incredibly well-built, and they looked very impressive."Mister Ryan, I've already looked into it. Cynthion Group's chairman, Leon Wolf, and president, Cynthia Shear, are both guests of the Doyles right now. They are the heads of Cythion Group. If we can capture them and pull something off, our family will be able to control the Energy Nurturing Pills!" Leonard said to
"You're too much!" Sandra shouted angrily."Wretch, if we broke up, then we broke up. You don't have to say all of that nonsense. I already found out that Leon and Cynthia are guests in your home right now. If you know what's good for you, then hand them over! Otherwise, don't blame me for what's going to happen!" Leonard sneered as he spoke."You despicable!" Sandra was furious.Women were always more sensitive creatures. After breaking up with Leonard in the morning, she was quite sad.Yet, at that moment, she was completely disappointed by Leonard!"Leonard, you're shameless! Last night, I only let you off because Miss Doyle constantly pleaded with me. I can't believe you came back so quickly! If I call you a piece of trash, I'd be insulting trash!" At that moment, a cold laugh was heard as Leon and Cynthia both walked out."Brat, both of you are here! I only lost to you last night because I was careless. Let's see where you can run to today!"Leonard was incredibly happy.
"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
