"Go on. Keep cutting," Leon urged calmly.

The staff cut a few more times but all that came out of it was gravel inside and nothing else.

"Still nothing?"

"That's unlikely!"

"Is it possible that there's not even any low- to mid-grade jadeite inside this rock, not even pea-greens or flower greens?"

The shock that everyone felt was such that they did not even bother to bemoan Leon's bad luck anymore!

Low- to mid-grade jadeite was the least that such good-quality raw jade stone would usually produce, but nothing of the sort was seen yet. Under such circumstances, he was better off buying a piece of raw jade stone that was extracted from pea-green jade!

Even if he were to find some clear jadeite inside, Leon will still be making a loss—it was only a matter of how much that loss was!

"Just keep cutting."

Leon's heart sank and the calmness that he initially began to slip away.

The staff continued to cut the stone. Dust flew everywhere, but still, there was only gravel inside with no

    Leon was overjoyed because he never expected those two jade stones to contain such powerful and pure spiritual energy, despite not being worth much.Nevertheless, spiritual energy was abundant inside and it was more than enough to set up the Energy Convergence Circle. Whether or not it was valuable in monetary terms was of no importance to him.The only issue that gave him a headache was that Brody tricked him into spending more than a million. He just gave a sum of money, yet it did not take long for him to revert to becoming a pauper again!"Wait! Do you mind if I take a look at these two jadeites, Mister Wolf?" Kai's eyelids twitched and he walked over."Not at all. Go ahead."Leon did not mind in the least and handed them over to Kai.As Kai looked carefully at the two gemstones, his expression gradually became solemn."They're just two worthless pieces of pea-green jadeite. Don't even bother examining them!" Brody scoffed.Kai's solemn expression turned sour and he glared

    "I'll be frank with you, Mister Wolf. Your two imperial greens are pure and transparent, which makes them incredibly valuable. Such items are a rarity on the market, so I can't give you an estimate of the specific market price. If you intend to sell it, we are willing to pay nine million for it!" Kai said in a heartbeat.Top-quality jadeite such as imperial greens was very hard to come by, and if their store was able to obtain one, they could turn it into the store's good luck charm!The only fly in the ointment was the small size of that imperial green, and it was cut in half by Leon at the center. If it was whole, it would have been more valuable!"But..." Leon was stunned. He never dreamed that the jadeite which he assumed to be pea-greens were extremely precious and rare imperial greens!Before Leon could answer, a voice suddenly called out from behind, "I'll give you ten million!" An old man in his 70s entered the shop along with several well-dressed bodyguards.The old man w

    "I…"Leon was incredibly hesitant. He had neither heard of the Shears before nor had any knowledge of who the four major families were, but he could tell from everyone's reaction that the individual in front of him was not just your average old man.His ten million bid was no doubt a very high price that far exceeded his expectations. One could not fault Leon for being swayed somewhat.However, he planned to use that jade to create an Energy Convergence Circle, and if he sold those two imperial greens to Benedict, it would be very difficult for him to find one that was more suitable."I'm sorry, sir. They're not for sale. I need them."Leon smiled apologetically.Benedict seemed disappointed and pressed further, "Are you sure you can't sell them? We can always negotiate the price.""I guess I can sell you one piece if you want them, but I would like to keep the other piece to myself," Leon hesitated.He needed only one piece to use as the focal point of the circle, so it was fi

    Leon waved his hands repeatedly to respectfully decline Benedict's kindness."I must insist! If you take something as rare and precious as this imperial green and carve it into a piece of women's jewelry, it's almost certain to win their hearts..." Benedict grinned knowingly and gave Leon a little wink as if to say, 'I know what you want them for.'As someone who experienced a lot of things in life, he assumed that Leon's intended to have them crafted into jewelry and given to a current or potential girlfriend. After all, no one would have thought that Leon had some other purpose.Leon was initially still adamant about refusing but was eventually swayed by the old man. He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Sir, I'd like to ask for a necklace if it's possible...""Not a problem!" Benedict let out a chuckle.If those two imperial greens were carved into two jade bracelets, the middle that had to be hollowed out was enough to make two necklace pendants, a couple of

    "I'll pay 1.1 million! One of the tycoons were itching to make a bid."1.2 million!" Another rich person could not hold back anymore and join in.Brody could feel his insides churn. All he wanted was to buy the stone, but it seemed to have turned into an all-out bidding war! He considered whether or not to just give up on buying it, but now that all the other rich people were jumping on the bandwagon, he did not hesitate anymore and immediately increase the price. "I'll pay 1.3 million!""I'll do better. 1.4 million!" Leon raised the price again.Leon's decisiveness led many of the rich people who participated in the auction to become more confident."1.5 million from me!""1.6 million!"Brody's eyes turned red and lost his mind completely. "I'll pay 1.7 million!""Then I'll offer to buy it for 1.8 million!" Leon said calmly."1.83 million!""1.85 million!""1.88 million!"The other rich people increased the price one after another, but because the asking price was too high

    "I'll do it myself!" Brody gritted his teeth and walked over just as Leon did earlier.The remaining volume of that raw jade stone was still enough for it to be cut a few more times, but due to his impatience, he immediately used the machine to cut the stone right down the middle.A glowing green light emerged at once!"There is it! There's the green!""Goodness me! It's not an imperial green, is it?""Didn't that young man say that there was nothing inside? Was he wrong?"...It was a thoroughly jaw-dropping sight, for no one thought that there would be another imperial green!"Darling! You did it! It's an imperial green, and it's so much bigger too! We hit the jackpot!"Marilyn was so overjoyed that she rushed up, wrapped her arms around Brody's neck, and kissed him several times."Hahaha... Didn't you say there wouldn't be anything inside, Leon? Open your dumb eyes and have a load of this!" Brody burst into laughter. He had a smug look and was as pretentious as pretentious

    "Congratulations, Mister Sullivan! You spent all that money only on a dry green! I can never be as rich as you!" Leon remarked sarcastically and looked at Brody as if the latter was a fool."Why you..."Brody was fuming, for he finally understood that he fell for Leon's trick. He stared at Leon with a fiery gaze and said, "It's all your fault, Wolf. How dare you raise your bid and dupe me...""What of it? What's stopping me from duping you when you did the same to me?"Leon sneered after giving Brody a taste of his own medicine.What he did not expect, however, was that Brody's luck would be so terrible as to get only some worthless dry greens. In that respect, Brody had only himself to blame for being so unlucky!"I'm going to kill you for making me spend so much money!" Brody exploded with rage and rushed toward Leon like a madman."Control yourself! This is not the place for you to run amok!" Kai warned sternly.As soon as he spoke, the scar-faced man from earlier and severa

    The requirements for that sort of ordinary jade were not as demanding as that for the core. At the very least, it had to be pea-green jadeites worth several thousand dollars.As Leon was not at all short on money, he spent about nine hundred thousand or so to buy those 18 pieces of finished white jadeite and then packed them all together with him.…After leaving the store, Leon walked toward the place where he parked his motorcycle.Within moments, he saw Brody and Marilyn approaching him menacingly with their two bodyguards."You're finally out, Leon. I've been waiting for you for ages!" Brody had a violent look on his face and a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth."What are you going to do, Brody?" Leon's face sank and he had a bad feeling."What do you think?""The other day's incident at the Civil Records Office and today's incident at the jade store are two scores that you and I are settling right here!" Brody grinned coldly. With a wave of his hand, his two bodyg

    "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
