"H-how is this possible?! Weren't you at the peak of Innate State? How did you suddenly become a Supreme Master?!" Ryan clutched his chest and looked at Quinton in shock.A Supreme Master was the first big hurdle when it came to becoming a martial artist. It was incredibly difficult to get to that level. Many of the youth that excelled within Seacove City all stopped at the peak Innate State. No one broke through to become a Supreme Master.Yet, Quinton was able to beat everyone and be the first to get to that level. The shock Ryan felt was evident!"There's nothing impossible about it! I don't mind telling you. I managed to break through because of Mister Wolf. He was the one who helped me become a Supreme Master!" Quinton had his hands behind his back as he said coldly. "What? He's able to help martial artists breakthrough? That-"Ryan was completely shocked.He suddenly regretted his actions. If he knew that Leon was capable of something so amazing, he would not have made a
"Mister Wolf, Miss Shear, I was ignorant just now and deeply offended the two of you. Please find it in yourself to forgive me this time"Ryan forced down the humiliation in his heart as he knelt, apologizing."Get up! Mister Hines, unjust, is always doomed to destruction. I hope your family will take this to heart!" Leon said calmly.He was not unreasonable. Ryan already knelt to apologize, so he did not need to be petty about it.As for Cynthia, she might still be unhappy, but she always followed what Leon wanted. Since Leon spoke up, she would not disagree."Thank you for your mercy," Ryan let out a sigh of relief, suddenly standing up."Alright, you can get lost now!" Quinton said coldly."Let's go!" Ryan immediately shouted. He commanded his subordinates and turned around to leave. "Hold it!" Cynthia suddenly stopped Ryan and the others in their tracks."Miss Shear, do you need something?" Ryan's heart suddenly skipped a beat."Mister Hines, this whole thing was caused
Bang!Just as Leonard was about to catch Cynthia, Leon already arrived. He used his spiritual energy to defend against Leonard's attack before he let out a backhanded blow, sending Leonard flying."Die!"At the same time, Quinton followed closely behind. There was a sharp glint in his eyes as he kicked Leonard's Energy Sea Point viciously."Ah!"Leonard let out a wail of anguish. His face was completely pale. All of his martial arts were just crippled by Quinton.From that day on, he was a complete cripple that could do no more evil!"What an idiot!" Ryan let out a disdainful smile at the sight.With Leon and Quinton keeping watch, even he would have had a hard time succeeding in ambushing Cynthia, let alone Leonard at the intermediate Innate State!He was just looking to die!"Cynthia, are you alright?" Leon asked anxiously. He did not know if Leonard managed to hurt Cynthia earlier."I'm fine," Cynthia patted herself on the chest, composing herself. After that, she kicke
After that, Sandra pulled Cynthia aside to exchange a few words before Cynthia left with Leon and Quinton.…With the Hunts, they organized a dinner party to welcome Leon and Cynthia.The dinner party was incredibly grand. Many of the elders and core figures of the Hunts were in attendance. There were a total of five large tables.Since Francis was so intent on inviting them, Leon and Cynthia had a hard time refusing. They sat on the main table as honored guests."Everyone, quiet down for a moment! I gathered everyone here today both to welcome Mister Wolf and Miss Shear of the Cythion Group and to announce something very important!" Francis stood up, and his voice was powerful as he spoke to everyone.Everyone immediately went quiet. All of them looked at Francis curiously, wondering what Francis was about to announce."I think everyone should already have heard. Quinton managed to become a Supreme Master, and even secured the cooperation of the Cythion Group for Energy Nurturi
Furthermore, Quinton was meant to be the first in line to inherit the family anyway. He was excellent in both martial arts and various other abilities. It was already a sure thing that he would be the head of the family in the future.Most of the people in attendance supported Francis's decision!Only Cadence and Marcus had sour looks on their faces. They were unhappy about it, but Francis already made a decision. There were quite a few people who supported Quinton as well, so there was nothing the two of them could do."Good, very good. Not only did we get the cooperation of Cythion Group today, we even solidified our new temporary head of the family. It's worth celebrating! Mister Wolf and Miss Shear are rarely joining us today. Let us all give them a toast, and have them act as a witness for our family!" Francis laughed as he raised his glass.Francis was the head of one of the three great families of Seacove City. His position was no lower than Benedict's back in Springfield Ci
However, it was different from Cynthia. She always had a sheltered life. Other than the ambush at that time, her life was always smooth.She went through a lot in Seacove City in just a few days. It was very exciting. It made her excited just thinking about it.More importantly, she was with Leon every day, and she felt incredibly happy and content.She hoped that the happiness she felt could go on forever!…At Shear Mansion in Springfield City, Harvey immediately rushed back home when he heard that Leon and Cynthia were back from Seacove City.He ran into the two of them in the living room."Mister Wolf, you're back with Cynthia. How was the trip to Seacove City? Did you get what you needed?" Harvey asked impatiently."Yes, we managed to get everything," Leon nodded, taking out the materials."That's great! When are you planning on refining the pills?" Harvey was very excited.Leon already promised him that, as long as they managed to find a component more than five hundred
Just as Leon was lamenting the waste, Harvey's eyes lit up. He said excitedly, "Mister Wolf, are these the Pure Energy Pills that can help me become a Supreme Master?" "No, these are different pills. Not Pure Energy Pills," Leon shook his head."They're not Pure Energy Pills!" Harvey was very disappointed. He suddenly felt much more deflated."Mister Shear, don't worry, I'll be making them next!" Leon smiled and consoled Harvey. After that, he took out a white bottle to store the pills.Those Foundation Pills were even more valuable than Pure Energy Pills. Even if he did not need so many for himself, he could not just waste them like that.He might need to use them in the future!After that, Leon cleaned up the furnace, throwing the remnants out before he started making the Pure Energy Pills.After some amount of time, Leon was finally done. He made twenty-two Pure Energy Pills in one go.Normally, one portion of the main components could make over a hundred and twenty Energ
Right at that moment, they heard a resounding laugh as Benedict walked up the mountain."Grandfather, why are you here?" Cynthia looked happy as the three of them walked over."Oh, I heard that you and Leon were already back from Seacove City and that you were at the mountaintop. I guessed that you were probably making pills, so I came to check out the situation," Benedict said with a smile."Grandfather, you came at the perfect moment. Leon already managed to make the Pure Energy Pills. I plan on using the Pure Energy Pills to push the next sales drive," Cynthia voiced out her thoughts, wanting her grandfather's support."That's a good idea!" Benedict was quite surprised. He nodded with praise.Cynthia was sheltered all her life, and she was always proud and playful. He never expected Cynthia to think of such a good marketing technique."Harvey, did you hear that? Grandfather agrees too!" Cynthia gained some more confidence as she smiled at Harvey."Fine then," Harvey felt li
"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
