"If we follow Mister Wolf and he gives us a Power Method, isn't that a good thing?" Stephen asked gleefully."You're not seeing the whole picture! We aren't anyone to Mister Wolf. Do you think that he's going to give us a Power Method?" Spencer said."Um," Rendered speechless, Stephen sobered. He knew that his brother was right; Power Methods were so precious that they surpassed the inherited methods owned by the Four Major Families in value. They just met Leon and even if Leon truly possessed a Power Method, he had no reason to give it to them without anything in return."But what if it's true? Maybe Mister Wolf is just a generous man like that, or maybe he just really wants to recruit us! I think that this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance and we can try to follow him. If he does give us the Power Method, we will remain loyal to him for the rest of our lives; but if he breaks his promise or tries to give us some garbage, saying that it is a Power Method, we can always just leave!" St
"Are you willing to join the Cythion Group?" Leon smiled politely and asked."Mister Wolf, thank you for thinking about us, but we've decided that we won't join Cythion Group for the moment," Spencer rejected humbly."What? You're still not willing to join Cythion Group?" Leon's smile froze. He was quite stunned.He never expected that even his valuable Power Methods were not enough to sway Spencer and Stephen!It greatly exceeded his expectations, and he did not know what to do."Hey, are two of you crazy? The Power Methods are something that Supreme Masters and even Overlords covet! The two of you rejected something so amazing? Is there something wrong with you?!" Cynthia was shocked, and even suddenly had the urge to check if their brains were filled with mush!"Miss Shear, of course, we know how valuable the Power method is! However, we know our place. We wouldn't dare to covet something so amazing," Spencer said.Stephen remained silent by the side. There was a look of re
Even if he was reluctant, he was forced to give up."Thank you, President Wolf."The two brothers looked relieved. After thanking Leon, they turned around and prepared to leave."Hold it!" At that moment, Cynthia suddenly shouted out and stopped them."Miss Shear, do you have something else you need?" Spencer turned around to ask. He was a bit apprehensive, worried that Cynthia was going to regret it.The Shears were so powerful and influential. If they wanted to force the two of them to stay, they would have no way to fight back!"Mister Sharp, the two of you should think about it! Power Methods are incredibly rare. If the two of you miss out on the chance, you might not be able to get another chance in the future!" Cynthia said coldly.She was a bit angry at how the two brothers did not seem to appreciate Leon's goodwill. If it was not for the fact that she knew that Leon wanted the two of them, she would not have bothered with them!"Miss Shear, the two of us have already
The two brothers were devoted to martial arts. Even though they did not prioritize money or power, it was not like they did not care about it at all!Just like Cynthia said. If the two of them rejected Leon, they could maintain their carefree lives, but they would not be able to accomplish anything big in the future.On the other hand, if the two of them joined Leon, there was a good chance they would be able to get Power Methods and be able to become incredibly strong Overlords, changing their fates!The martial world always prioritized strength. Overlords were absolutely the pinnacle of Springfield City. They would be incredibly well respected and known everywhere!If the two of them could become Overlords, they would soar, going from being two unknown figures to standing at the top of Springfield City!Then, whether it was wealth or power, they would be able to get it all easily!It was far too tempting. The two of them were no saints. They found it hard to resist!At that mo
At the very least, he couldn't teach those methods to just anyone before he was strong enough!In comparison, teaching Power Methods was far superior. It was only one level higher than the four great families had imagined. He would not be so afraid if he was ever exposed.It was just that he didn't inherit any Basic Power class methods. Because the lowest one was advanced, he was forced to teach the two of them an Advanced Power class method."What? What is the Advanced Power class?" They were both taken aback. Their hearts skipped a beat, and they felt a chill wash over them.Methods from the Advanced Power class were far more valuable than those from the Basic Power class.Earlier, the two of them had discussed how Leon might have a Basic Power class method, but there was no way he could have anything higher!Leon himself was unable to use Advanced Power class methods. Nonetheless, he intended to teach one to the two of them. Wasn't that just a simple ruse?They appeared to ha
"Do the two of you not know something so basic?!" Cynthia berated coldly."Miss Shear, you're right. We realized our mistakes now." The two brothers shuddered.There were laws and rules everywhere.Even though they joined Leon, they joined Cynthion Group in name.Leon was their master, and Cynthia was half their master as well.The two of them did not dare to talk back to Cynthia."Since it's your first offense, I'll forgive you. However, if there's a second time, I won't spare you easily even if Leon doesn't care!" Cynthia said coldly."Yes, we wouldn't dare. There won't be a second time," The two brothers answered in a hurry, but their hearts sank.Not only did they not get a Power Method, but they were also even forced to waste Pure Energy Pills for no reason. It was obvious how they would feel!However, they chose this path themselves. No matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do.After that, they resolved themselves and took the Pure Energy Pills.
Stephen and Spencer were using Advanced Power Methods, so their energy would not be as pure as Cynthia's.He deliberately let them take the Pure Energy Pills to overcome that deficiency. It was how the two of them suddenly showed signs of breaking through!Boom!Spencer was stronger than Stephen. His body jolted, and he broke through right to an Advanced Supreme Master!However, since he just broke through, his power was still not stable. He did not relax and hurriedly continued to use Demon Execution, planning on solidifying his power.Stephen was different. He was slightly weaker, and the energy within his body was not as dense as his brother's.Even with the help of Demon Execution and a Pure Energy Pill, he was still a bit away from breaking through.Right after that, he quickly let out a look of pain. There was a lot of sweat on his head, and his shirt was completely soaked.He looked like he was about to fail!"Stephen, open your mouth!"Leon shouted out coldly, taking
Spencer even lectured Stephen so much. He finally realized how funny and stupid his words were. He almost missed out on such an amazing thing!"What? The two of you finally realize your mistakes?" Cynthia let out a scoff, still unhappy about the matter."Miss Shear, thank you for your advice. If you didn't tell us earlier, we would have wasted such an amazing chance for no reason."Both Stephen and Spencer thanked Cynthia earnestly."That's more like it," Cynthia calmed down quite a bit."Alright, both of you, get up!" Leon said."Yes, Mister Wolf," Spencer and Stephen acknowledged before standing up."Spencer, I have something I need to tell the two of you. Power Methods are incredibly valuable. You can't let it be exposed! Let me make things clear. If either of you dares to let this leak out, I won't spare you!" Leon said seriously.Even though Power Methods were not as shocking as Absolute Methods, it would cause a lot of movement among Springfield City's major families if w
"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
