Therefore, he would take the challenge and let Leon try it out. As long as he could make it to the Overlord State, Harold would not dare to hurt him! "Alright, I'll try it!" Vincent said through gritted teeth. However, he did not have much hope for this—this was far too bizarre to be true, and he did not dare to have any expectations for Leon. Snow and Cynthia were stunned to see Vincent agree. Even though none of them truly believed that Leon was capable of helping Harold achieve the Overlord State, they decided that it would be no harm to try it out, provided that Leon would not endanger Harold's life. "Alright then, off to the dojo we go!" an expression of delight crossed Leon's face as he let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, but wait, you haven't fully recovered yet, so are you sure this will be fine? If not, please don't strain yourself. We can always try again in a few days when you're feeling better," Vincent said dubiously. He never thought much about trying, and now
"Vincent, concentrate your energy on your breathing and try to apply the formula I've given you. Do not become distracted!" Leon reminded them."Alright." Vincent took a deep breath, turned his attention inwards, and began to nurture the secret formula Leon gave him to enhance his powers as he absorbed the energy contained within those three pills, with Leon's assistance. The energy in the Pure Energy Pills was so concentrated that as soon as they entered Vincent's mouth, they melted into three streams of warm, pulsing energy and gushed toward his heart. Vincent was able to suppress the enormous energy surging within him at first, but as the power began to build and eventually began ricocheting within him, he gradually lost control of his own true energy. Beads of cold sweat covered his forehead as he grimaced in pain, the first sign of losing control of one's own power!"How are you feeling right now, Father?" Snow became concerned when she noticed Vincent's strange expression
Snow's eyes were brimming with tears. She grabbed hold of Leon's collar in menace as though she wanted to kill him right on the spot."What's going on, Leon?" Cynthia was also beginning to panic."Snow, stay calm and wait for a while longer," Leon replied hesitantly. The Ghost Point was meant to suppress and evacuate one's power, and now that its effects were limited, the only way would be to release Vincent's power through the silver needles to spare his life!However, if he released the energy from the pills, there was no way Vincent could go on trying to attain the Overlord State, and all their efforts would have been in vain!At this point, Leon was still able to save Vincent, but he did not want to have all his efforts go to waste!"Wait? I can't believe you're asking me to wait until my father is in this state! If we hold on any longer, he might not even survive!" Snow was outraged by this."Snow, please trust me. I won't let anything happen to Vincent," Leon replied calm
"Cynthia, it's already bad enough for Leon to go insane—why are you doing this with him?" Snow was utterly stunned by this and turned to stare at Cynthia in disbelief. She did not understand how Cynthia was still on Leon's side after witnessing all that he did! "Vincent, listen to me. I'll teach you the Dispel Demon Method right now," Time was running out, and Leon did not have the time to explain anything further to Vincent and Snow. Instead, he quickly recited the spell for the Dispel Demon Method. Since things were already in this state, Vincent had no choice but to remember the spell and start training that way, using the Dispel Demon Method to absorb and condense the Pure Energy Pills' power. With the help of the Dispel Demon Method and the Ghost Point's control over the energy, a miracle was beginning to take place! The energy surging and ricocheting within Vincent's body gradually began to settle. Not only that, but he could also clearly feel that with the Dispel Dem
"I can't believe it—I did it! I've attained the Overlord State!" Vincent could not help bursting into laughter at this realization. Initially, he thought Leon was overly confident in his claims, especially during the most critical moment of his training, he had at one point thought Leon was trying to harm him on purpose. However, now he finally understood that Leon told the truth all along! Leon successfully helped him attain the Overlord State! One could only imagine how excited and joyful he was at finally attaining his dream for the past few years! Leon, on the other hand, was not at all delighted. Instead, his entire face turned pale, and his forehead was covered in beads of cold sweat as though all the strength in his body was sucked out of him. He slumped onto the ground in a heap. "Leon, are you okay? What happened?" Cynthia was shocked by this and quickly helped him up and back into his wheelchair. "I'm fine, just a little tired," Leon said, panting. When he final
Leon seized the opportunity to invite them. "Oh, is that so? Congratulations! I promise I'll be there!" Vincent replied, grinning. "Engaged?" The smile froze on Snow's face as a strange feeling seeped into her heart. She and Leon went through so much over the last few months and even went through life and death together. During this process, she began to develop feelings for Leon, but because he was her brother, Fane's best friend, she always refrained from acting on her feelings and always thought of him as a little brother. On top of that, she knew from the start that Leon was close with the Shears, especially Cynthia. Therefore, it made sense that Cynthia and Leon would eventually get together. "Leon, Cynthia, you guys are a match made in heaven. I wish you a lifetime of happiness!" Snow said, stifling the strange feeling in her heart. With that, she and her father left Shear Mansion, while Cynthia wheeled Leon back to his room to rest. Dragonbay Villa. After leavi
"Don't be sad, Iris. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and Leon's not going to be the only one you'll fall for! Since he's not willing to reconcile, that's his loss. He's not worth you crying over him; you can always find a better, even more handsome man than him," Louisa tried to reassure her. She could not help feeling outraged at the thought of Leon. She used to be close to Leon, and every time Iris mistrusted or misunderstood him, she would stand on Leon's side without hesitation and help them patch things up, but now, because of how hurt Iris felt over Leon's rejection, Louisa's feelings toward Leon dissipated altogether. "No, I can't give up just like this!" a determined look crossed Iris' face as she calmed down and recalled all the memories between her and Leon. Louisa froze at this. "He's not willing to reconcile and is even getting engaged to Cynthia soon. What are you going to do, if not give up?" "As long as he and Cynthia have not gotten engaged yet, there's s
"If that happens, you'll become the laughingstock of the town!" Ariel said worriedly. Leon's attitude was clear while they were at Shear Mansion; therefore, there was almost a non-existent possibility of Iris being able to change his mind at the engagement party! Ariel did not think Iris could succeed at all, and instead, would risk humiliating herself in front of all the guests! "So what if I become the laughing stock? Leon sacrificed everything for me, and so what if I humiliate myself a little in trying to win his heart back? As long as I tried my best, that's enough, no matter the outcome. I just don't want to regret having not tried at all!" Iris said determinedly. She knew that she did not have much of a chance and was even prepared for the worst outcome already! "Um, okay then. I wish you the best of luck," Ariel said, sighing. The next two days, the Shears were busy preparing for Leon and Cynthia's engagement party. Cynthia was one of the Four Beauties of Springfie
"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
