Most importantly, Leon already refused to get back together with Iris and Gilbert decided that he preferred Anson as his future son-in-law, so he was not at all pleased to see Leon."Uncle Gilbert, Iris is injured and I'm here to treat her," Leon said sheepishly, unable to see Gilbert's eyes.Gilbert was Iris's father, after all, and since Iris committed suicide because of him, Leon did not know how he could face Gilbert."What?!" Shocked, Gilbert focused on Iris, who laid in Leon's arms and soon noticed the blood stain before her chest.The dagger stabbed into her chest was removed by Leon, but the blood stain remained."Louisa, wh- what happened? What's wrong with Iris?" Gilbert paled, his voice trembling."Uncle, Iris tried to get back together with Leon and when rejected, she chose to commit suicide," Louisa sobbed."Commit suicide?" Gilbert felt as though he was struck by lightning.He only thought that his daughter was injured and did not expect her to be dead."Leon Wol
"No way. I'm staying right here to watch!" Gilbert said."I'm staying, too!" Louisa bit down on her lips.Both of them were too worried about Iris to walk away."Um, okay, then! Remember! It's fine for you to stay, but you need to stay as far away as possible and you mustn't interrupt me!" Leon said hesitantly.He could understand how they felt and did not force them to leave the room.Louisa nodded. "Of course. We won't bother you."Louisa, Gilbert and Ariel backed away to give Leon space and once everything was ready, Leon turned his attention to Iris, before pressing his fingers onto her compression points.His spiritual energy flowed through his fingers and into her body, gradually repairing the damaged internal circulation and muscles in her body.The promise he made during the engagement party gave Iris hope and as under his relentless effort, the last strand of life energy within her body began to respond to his treatment."Iris, can you hear me? Hang in there. Don't gi
Gilbert roared.He assumed that Leon could not save Iris and launched a punch against Leon at the speed of lightning."Uncle Gilbert, th- that's not what this is. Let me explain!" Startled, Leon tried to move away, but he ran out of spiritual energy and had no strength to fight back."Uncle, no!" Louisa paled and stood before Leon without hesitation to shield him from Gilbert's attack.Not wanting to injure Louisa, Gilbert came to a sudden halt and shouted, "Louisa, move out of the way. I'm going to kill him today!""Calm down, Uncle. It's impossible to revive the dead. Leon has already tried his best," Louisa’s eyes reddened.Leon collapsed and spat blood from trying to revive Iris, and since she did not believe that the dead could be revived, she was not hopeful from the very beginning.Since Leon failed, Louisa knew that she could only give up."Louisa, Uncle Gilbert, don't be sad just yet. Can you listen to what I have to say first? I didn't manage to wake her, but she's re
Though Iris was revived, she was still in a critical condition and could still die at any moment.Leon desperately needed to bring her to a place filled with spiritual energy to wake her as soon as possible.Fortunately, the peak of the back mountain was perfect.It was the place where Leon started his training, and not only was the peak filled with spiritual energy, he even buried jadeites to create an Energy Convergence Circle. With the circle's help, he was certain that he could save Iris."Okay. We'll follow you wherever you take Iris," Gilbert said."No. You can't go there. I'll take her there myself." Leon shook his head.Gilbert was on a wheelchair and both Louisa and Ariel were too frail to climb the mountain, so it would be easier for him to travel alone with Iris."Well, okay then."The three knew that they could not be of much help and gave up eventually.As soon as Leon recovered his strength, he carried Iris out of the mansion and hurried toward the mountain.Mea
"I'm not dead? How's that possible?" Iris gasped in disbelief, but soon recovered. "Leon, were you the one who saved me?""Yeah. I told you I'd bring you back, and I did," Leon held Iris close and shed tears of joy.He promised to save Iris multiple times, but he was not confident at all since Iris's injury was extremely severe, but the gods were merciful and he had a miracle to his pleasant surprise."I see. But, what about Cynthia Shear? I thought that you were getting engaged to her," Iris thought back to what happened before she committed suicide."I've called off the engagement," Leon's heart sank when he recalled the sorrowful, yet hopeful look in Cynthia's eyes when she left, his excitement for Iris's revival weakening at the memories."What?" Iris was shocked, but soon remembered what happened once she tried to recall.She remembered hearing Leon promised that he would get back together with her, which gave her the hope to live."Leon, did you say that you would get back
She was a kind-hearted person all along and she truly regretted hurting Cynthia. However, love was always selfish in nature and though she felt remorse, she would never allow Leon to go back to Cynthia."Forget it. Iris, you're weak right now and you need rest. Let's head back down," Leon said, setting his thoughts about Cynthia aside."Okay." She struggled to get up with Leon's help."I'll carry you." Leon bent down and lifted Iris up, before heading down the mountain.Iris blushed shyly and buried her face into the crook of his neck happily....Meanwhile, inside the mansion.Gilbert, Louisa and Ariel waited for Leon to return to the yard.Time flew and over an hour passed, but Leon was nowhere to be found and they were all worried."What's going on? It's been so long. Why isn't he back yet? Has there been an accident or something?" Gilbert muttered in frustration."I don't think so. If Leon's capable of reviving Iris, I'm sure he can wake her up!" Louisa said confidently.
Both Ariel and Louisa were excited that Leon came back."Iris-"Before Leon could respond, Gilbert interrupted him furiously."I knew it! I know that you are all talk, Leon Wolf! You couldn't have the ability to wake Iris! You bast*rd! How dare you get her killed?! I'm going to make you pay!" Gilbert roared when he saw Iris laying still in Leon's arms. He assumed that Leon failed to wake Iris and that Iris might already be dead.In the midst of his sorrow, he gathered his true energy in his fists and was about to charge at Leon."Dad, I'm fine," Iris muttered sheepishly as she looked up with a blush on her cheeks, signaling Leon to put her down.Though she got back together with Leon, she still felt shy to act so intimate with him in front of others and hid her face because of that."Oh my god! You're awake, Iris! You really are!""That's great!"Louisa and Ariel were over the moon.Though they both trusted Leon, reviving the death seemed impossible and they were shaken to th
Never did he imagine that his grandfather would help Leon escape from the Fields instead of taking the chance to eliminate Leon.Anson did not dare to defy George in public and decided to suppress his anger at the time. However, as soon as he returned home, he immediately gathered a few martial artists and hurried over to seek revenge against Leon.Since Leon left with Iris in his arms, it was not hard to guess that Leon came to Dragonbay Villas."Anson, you've mistaken. Iris-"Before Gilbert could explain, Anson turned and immediately spotted Leon standing in the distance."Leon Wolf, so you really are here! I'm going to kill you and avenge Iris!" Anson glared daggers at Leon, but hesitated when he remembered that Leon reached the Peak Supreme State."Like you are capable of that!" Leon scoffed.He knew that Anson misunderstood, but did not bother to explain himself.Anson was one of Iris's many pursuers who had conflicts with Leon in the past and Leon saw no point in wasting
"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
