"Mister Lowe and Mister Fields both swore by their names that Leon was only at the Peak Innate State!""If Leon can defeat Miss Collins with a single move, it means that he's probably at the Realm of a Supreme Master. How can he be at the Peak Innate State?""Yeah, Mister Lowe and Mister Fields were skeptical about the effect of the Pure Energy Pills and Harvey Sheers managed to reach a breakthrough with the help of the Pure Energy Pill. Now they're claiming that Leon's at the Peak Innate State, when he's clearly in the Realm of a Supreme Master!""What are those two trying to do? Are they toying with us?"...The crowd soon realized that they underestimated Leon and started to glance at Jacob and Theodore angrily."No! No way! That kid was at the Peak Innate State not long ago. How did he manage to reach the Realm of a Supreme Master so soon."Both Jacob and Theodore flushed and struggled to explain themselves, unable to figure out how Leon managed to reach such a level in a ma
...The other Shears were all extremely excited as well and were all praising Leon's strength. After all, Leon was close with the Sheers and his victory against Ruth was something that the Shears took pride in as well."You're all too kind. I just got lucky," Leon said with a humble smile."Leon, correct me if I'm wrong, but have you reached the Realm of a Supreme Master after taking the Pure Energy Pill?" Benedict asked while running his fingers through his long beard."Pretty much," Leon said. He took the Foundation Pill instead of the Pure Energy Pill, but the two were not all that different."I see!""It's no wonder that Mister Lowe and Mister Fields insisted that Leon is at the Peak Innate State. So he reached the Realm of a Supreme Master with the help of the Pure Energy Pill!""Yeah, we should've known! Leon's the one who made the pills and he is the first person to take them!"...Hearing Leon's conversation with Benedict, the others finally realized that they misunder
Cynthia scoffed, displeased by the men who were trying to blame everything on Leon. However, she knew better than to argue with them seeing that they were in public."Cynthion Group will now begin the sales for the Pure Energy Pills," Leon ignored the others and proceeded with the sales drive."Finally!""Both Leon and Harvey reached the Realm of a Supreme Master with the help of the Pure Energy Pills, which means that it is a hundred percent effective!""It's a shame that the supply is limited and cannot satisfy all needs. I wonder who will manage to obtain the pills!"...The crowd turned their focus back to the Pure Energy Pills with excitement."Hang on!" Walter snorted and stepped out of the crowd."Elder Field? Is there a problem?" Leon scowled. Since he made the Fields his enemies, he instinctively knew that Walter did not mean well."Leon Wolf, you've injured my grandson, Theodore and I am going to make you pay today!" Walter sneered.Leon refused to work with the You
Leon displayed his strength in front of everyone and since he already reached the Realm of a Supreme Master, Theodore would never be able to defeat him as a martial artist at the Peak Innate State."Benedict, this is between Leon and us. This is none of your business. Are you sure you want to get involved?" Walter said coldly."So what if we do?" Benefit retorted."If you insist, the Fields will step down for now, but you can't protect him forever! After today, we will not stop until he dies!" Walter declared."Why you!"The looks on Benedict, Vincent, and the others darkened. Though they were close with Leon, Leon was not a member of their respective families, and hindered by certain considerations, they could not go to war with the Fields for Leon's sake.Walter swore to kill Leon in front of all families as a threat and continuing to support Leon would only cause the situation to escalate."Elder Field, just how am I supposed to pay for injuring your grandson?" Leon asked, hi
Powerful families often prioritized their reputation and though Walter desperately wished to get rid of Leon, he could not neglect the impact of his actions on the family's name."How about this? Leon, I'll send a Field from the second generation to fight you and if you manage to defend yourself under three attacks, we'll forget that anything ever happened! Fail to do so, and you'll have to get out of this city!" Walter decided to compromise."Second generation?" Leon's eyes lit up.Walter was one of the most formidable martial artists of his age, having reached the Peak Supreme State or higher, so Leon could not withstand three punches from someone at his level. However, he might stand a chance against someone from the second generation. Though Leon was not certain about the strength of the second generation of Fields, he witnessed Gilbert's power.Gilbert was the head of the second generation of the Youngs and reached the Advanced Supreme State; assuming that the second generatio
He thought that Walter would choose someone at the Advanced Supreme State, but to his bewilderment, Walter was too arrogant and chose a martial artist at the Intermediate Supreme State.Leon was at the Foundation Phase and could easily fend off three attacks from someone of that level, so he could not possibly reject such an offer."Um, I'll take it!" He made a point to hesitate for a moment before agreeing reluctantly, being extremely careful not to let his joy show out of fear that Walter might send someone more powerful to represent the Fields."What?!" Harvey and Benedict gaped in unison.Benedict was puzzled as he warned Leon, but Leon ignored his advice and agreed to the Fields' terms anyway."Leon, don't rush into this. This-" Benedict blurted out hastily.He knew what the Fields were capable of and if Leon failed to survive three strikes, he would be made to leave the city without doubt; his partnership with the Shears would be severed and all the hard work they put in wo
...Everyone discussed amongst themselves and no one seemed to believe that Leon stood a chance unless there was a miracle."Hey, anyone wants to bet on it?""I'm betting that Leon won't survive three strikes!""I bet that not only will he not survive, but he's also going to end up badly injured!""Isn't that obvious? If he fails to take three strikes, he is going to be injured in the process. Haroon should destroy him for good. Serves him right!"...Many members of the younger generation resented Leon for having the opportunity to date all of the Four Beauties and how he injured Ruth earlier.Some of them started to bet on the fight as they all came from wealthy backgrounds and did not have to worry about money."Damn those guys!" Enraged, Fane walked over and slammed a cheque onto the table. "I bet 1.5 million that Mister Wolf can take three punches from Haroon!"He knew that Leon was not going to win, but he believed in Leon and since Leon agreed to the fight, it could be
In everyone's eyes, Leon was merely at the Initial Supreme State and was set to die.Haroon focused every last bit of his strength into his fist with the determination to destroy Leon's arm.The crowd stirred at Leon's reaction."Has he gone mad?""He might have been able to dodge Haroon's attacks by utilizing his skills in combat, yet he's trying to counter? Does he want his arm destroyed?""Yeah, Haroon's going to break that arm!"...Everyone was shocked as they stared at Leon like they were looking at a fool. The ones who still believed that Leon might be able to survive earlier decided that Leon would not survive after all.The Fields sneered smugly as though victory was right before their eyes.On the opposite side, the Shears and Vincent were all stunned at Leon's attempt to fight instead of dodge. They all started to fire up their true energy in the hope to rescue Leon, but it was too late.The Collins and Harold all kept their composure as they observed the situation
"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
