"Elder Wick, if I'm honest, your myocarditis was not completely cured five years ago, and eventually left some latent health problems. It's these latent health problems lurking in your body that caused your sudden heart illness! This isn't coronary heart disease!" Leon explained.Bernard was enlightened. "I see! Are you able to heal me then?""Yes. When I gave you my pressure point treatment earlier, all those latent problems have been removed. I'm going to give you a prescription. Your condition will be completely cured if you take it for a week."Bernard motioned for the bodyguard to get a pen and paper. Leon then wrote the prescription down and handed it back to the elderly man."Thank you very much for your kindness, young man. I don't know how I'm going to repay you for your kindness... Here, take this check. This is a small token of my appreciation. You can treat it as my consultation fee. Please take it!"Bernard said with much gratitude. He took out a blank check from his
Even Hilmar was no exception. The slight dissatisfaction he had toward Leon earlier had all but changed into admiration for Leon's incredible medical skills and ethics.After hesitating for a bit, he eventually walked up to Leon and bowed deeply. "Mister Wolf, I have repeatedly called your medical skills into question and I wish to express my heartfelt apologies for my rudeness! I've never had a high opinion of alternative medicine, and I believed that it was inferior to modern medicine. You've taught me a very vivid lesson today, and I was able to learn a lot from you, so thank you!""You think too highly of me, Doctor Schwabe. You're a well-known senior figure in the field of medicine, and I still have a long way to go to reach your level," Leon downplayed the praise and did not take Hilmar's previous actions to heart."Here's my business card, Mister Wolf. Feel free to call me anytime if you need help in the future."Bernard took out his business card and handed it to Leon; he a
After getting off work, Leon rode his motorcycle straight to the largest flea market in Springfield City.According to the records inherited within his memory, there was a certain pattern called the Energy Convergence Circle that could be used to concentrate one's spiritual energy. It was very conducive toward speeding up the gathering and refinement of his spiritual energy, as it allowed his energy refinement to multiply with only half the effort!The mountain behind the villa was teeming with spiritual energy, so Leon planned to set up his Energy Converge Circle on the mountain to see if it could increase the speed of his energy refinement.However, he needed jade to set up the Energy Convergence Circle.Natural jade was abundant in spiritual energy, and the Energy Convergence Circle's effect increased proportionately with the amount of spiritual energy within the jade.Leon headed to the flea market to buy some of that jade and set up the circle....Somewhere outside Antiqua
"Listen closely, Wolf. This is a warning! Stay the hell away from Marilyn! Harass her again and I swear to God, I'll kill you!" Brody warned with a grim expression.Leon clenched his fist tightly but then loosened it right away.The Sullivans were very wealthy, and they were not the kind of people that should be provoked. Since Leon was still a ways to go from reaching true strength, he did not want to have any head-on conflict with Brody so soon because it would only be to his detriment."Piss off!" Brody snorted coldly and loosened his grip on Leon's collar.Leon said nothing more and walked silently toward the flea market."Why'd you let him go, babe? Why didn't you give him a good beating? Leon's a loser and Iris isn't even his girlfriend anymore. She dumped him already!" Marilyn said unhappily.Iris slapped her twice in the Civil Records Office the other day, and knowing that she was powerless to seek revenge against Iris, Leon became her only outlet to channel all her anger
"You again, Wolf? You're like a mosquito that just won't get off our backs! I just warned you earlier not to harass Marilyn again. You're asking for it, you know that!" Brody was furious and stared fiercely at Leon."No one's harassing her. I already told you two that I'm here to get something. Don't be unreasonable!" Leon shot back coldly. He did not expect to bump into them so quickly when the flea market was such a huge place."I'm not buying your nonsense! You came in as soon as we set foot in this store. That's too big of a coincidence! Why do you have to be such a creep? Is it because Iris doesn't want a useless piece of trash like you?" Marilyn had a look of contempt on her face. She and Brody were secretly hoping to meet Leon again so they could teach Leon a lesson, but his act of stalking her made it obvious that he had bad intentions toward her! It was an entirely different justification altogether!"I don't have time to play with your games!"Leon ignored Brody and Mar
"Darling, why don't we have a look at another store if we can't find one here?" Marilyn suggested.Brody shook his head. "There's no point. this shop is the largest and most famous one here. If there aren't any high-quality products here, it's even less likely for the other shops to have them. We'll just be wasting our time if we go there.""What should we do then?" Marilyn's heart sank. She just got her marriage certificate with Brody two days ago, and it was the first time that Brody officially brought her home to meet his elders. Furthermore, it was also a very important occasion because it was a birthday banquet.The two of them needed to get a good birthday gift and make a good first impression. Substandard products simply could not cut it!"How about we have a look at the raw jade stones over there? If we can find one that's good enough, we can always ask a master craftsman to carve the finished product in a couple of days. We can make it in time for grandpa's birthday banque
"Seven hundred thousand!" Leon's face soured even more.If what he sensed earlier was correct, then there was almost certainly a very strong and pure energy coming from inside that raw jade stone. It would be more than enough to set up an Energy Convergence Circle!He was determined not to give up on such a good piece of jade so easily!"Eight hundred thousand!"Brody continued to increase the price."Nine hundred thousand!" Leon gritted his teeth."One million!" Brody looked at Leon with a teasing expression."I..." Leon's face became ashen. His total assets were only 1.4 million. Excluding the 7,000-dollar medical expenses he forked for Serena and the 300,000-dollar security deposit he just paid, he had just over 1.3 million left.Where was he going to get the extra money to rival Brody's offer?"One million?""That small piece of raw jade stone reached one million in that bidding war? Are those two guys crazy?""This is beyond crazy. I think something's wrong with their
Brody had been leading Leon up the garden path, causing the latter to spend more than a million bucks for no good reason!Such an amount of money was not a small sum for him, and he could feel his heart aching after suffering such a huge loss."That dude just took the poor guy for a spin!""Poor young man. He spent more than a million only to look like a fool in the end!""He'll be pissed for sure if that piece of raw jade stone ends up being worthless!"Everyone came to that sudden realization and began looking at Leon with pity and contempt. They all felt that Leon was the epitome of a sucker!Leon suppressed the anger in his heart. He might have been tricked by Brody, but at the very least he was successful in obtaining that piece of raw jade stone. The only thing left for him to do was hope that the jade could provide him with what he wanted. After all, having it fail on him was the last thing that he wanted! He would have been a real fool if that were to happen!"You're jus
"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
