The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1491
“How impressive! Is that the true power of the Eternity Compression Method?!”
Outside the Light Convergence Circle, Elder Swire gaped as he watched Leon through the fog.
As one of the best doctors in the southern region, he knew about the Eternity Compression Method and that it was a long–lost method from ancient times.
He watched as Leon summoned the fire dragon with the method and the others were all shaken to the core by the sight of the fire dragon formed by a powerful aura.
They marveled at Leon’s skills and contrary to their excitement, Leon paled as his heart sank.
The pure light energy was rushing into Roanne’s body through his fingers, combining itself with the dark energy smoothly. However, his spiritual energy was reaching its limits when only one–third of the dark energy within Roanne’s body was only neutralized, and he was about to cave.
“It’s over! I guess I wasn’t capable of this after all,” Drenched in sweat, Leon’s expression darkened.
If he gave up, not only would the treatment fail, Roanne would surely perish; if he persisted, he would never manage to neutralize all the dark energy in her body even with the help of the Dragon Pill and once the energy backfired at him, he would die as well.
Apart from that, Roanne’s condition was unique and none of the people outside the Light Convergence Circle could step in to transfer their energy to Leon, so he could only rely on himself.
“What should I do now?” He gritted his teeth anxiously.
Just as he was about to give in, he remembered the Spiritual Pearl. “That’s right. How can I forget about it?”
Excited, Leon kept one hand on Roanne’s compression points and reached into his pocket for the Spiritual Pearl to activate its power.
The pearl shone and floated atop him, oozing powerful waves of true and spiritual energy.
“As expected of a tool meant to assist with training.” He was instantly revitalized.
He absorbed the spiritual energy from the Spiritual Pearl and sent it into Roanne’s body through his fingers to manipulate the dark and light energy within her.
The Spiritual Pearl held bottomless spiritual and true energy and could replenish the energy through nature.
With the pearl in hand, he no longer needed to worry about his spiritual energy and started to focus on the treatment.
After some time, the dark energy within Roanne’s body merged perfectly with the light energy inside the Light Convergence Circle.
Combining the Eternity Compression Method and the energy released by the Ganoderma, he neutralized the dark energy gathering around her heart and eliminated the threat.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1492
Once she was no longer in life–threatening danger, Roanne regained consciousness and opened her eyes.
“You’re finally awake, Miss Thompson!” Leon sighed a breath of relief and beamed.
The dark energy within her body was completely neutralized and she successfully regained consciousness, which meant that it was right for him to replace the Sunlit Herb with Ganoderma and the Light Convergence
Circle.
The weight on his shoulders was finally lifted.
“Thank you, Leon,” Roanne smiled shyly and stared at Leon gratefully.
Though she lost consciousness earlier, she was aware of her surrounding and knew that it was Leon who saved her life. If it were not for him, she would have perished by now.
“You’re welcome. I’m just fulfilling the duty of a doctor,” Leon was slightly taken aback by her intimate tone but did not pay it much mind. “Miss Thompson, please sit up. I’ll unblock your Secondary Channel and Supreme Channel now. Once that’s done, you’ll be completely cured.”
“Sure,” she said and sat up obediently.
Leon withdrew his hands, before executing the Eternity Compression Method around her shoulders instead.
Not only was the Eternity Compression Method effective in balancing the human body’s inner energy, but it also helped reinforce the foundation of one’s core energy and clear blockage in the internal circulation, so it would be easy to unblock the two blockages inside Roanne’s body.
Shortly after, Leon unblocked Secondary Channel with the help of the powerful spiritual energy released by the Spiritual Pearl, before doing the same to her Supreme Channel.
With that, all the blocked channels inside her body opened up.
“It’s done!” Leon sighed a long breath and withdrew his hands.
“Leon, am I cured now?” Roanne asked. Colors returned to her pale cheeks, but she seemed slightly
uncomfortable.
“Yeah. It’s done. I’ll need to treat you again in a few days to help your body adjust, but you should have a full recovery within two weeks,” Leon smiled.
“But I don’t feel so well,” She said hesitantly and began to flush a crimson red.
“You don’t feel well? That should be the case!” Leon was shocked and soon realized the issue once he
observed her condition.
“Miss Thompson, please allow me to have a look,” He measured her pulse, his expression darkening.
He thought that all he needed to do was neutralize the dark energy within her body, and it was not until this very moment that he realized he was too naive..
Roanne was not a powerful martial artist and could not absorb the energy force that was the result of the combination of dark and light energy. At the moment, a tremendous amount of pure energy accumulated inside her body and she could burst if they failed the manage the energy.
Unlike the Sunlit Herb, the Ganoderma and the Light Convergence Circle could not help Roanne with merging the energy into her core, and that was the side effect of replacing the Sunlit Herb with Ganoderma and the Light Convergence Circle.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1493
“Leon, what should I do? It burns,” Roanne flushed and sweated as agony took over her expression.
“Miss Thompson, please try to allow your energy to circulate as you would in training. Let’s see if you can absorb the energy inside you,” Leon said hastily.
Roanne was trained from a young age and was no stranger to martial arts. Under Leon’s guidance, she sat with her legs crossed and focused on absorbing the pure energy within her.
Unfortunately, the method past down in the Thompson lineage leaned toward the light nature and was not suitable for women. On top of that, Roanne had a rare Darkness Complex, so she only managed to absorb a small portion of the energy after trying.
“How could this happen?” Leon paled.
He could tell that the method Roanne was training with contradicted her complex and was far too ineffective to absorb the pure energy within her body.
This would not be harmful if she were merely training to be stronger. However, the tremendous energy gathered inside her body must be absorbed immediately, or her life would be in danger the longer they
waited.
The only solution was for her to train with a method with a dark nature; with the combination of her Darkness Complex, all issues would be resolved.
“A dark method,” Loen’s heart sank and he immediately thought of the Mysterious Maiden Method.
It was a method that he specifically selected for Iris and was made for women. A martial artist with the Darkness Complex like Roanne would benefit greatly from the Mysterious Maiden Method.
However, Leon cast the thought aside almost immediately.
The Mysterious Maiden Method was an Absolute Method and once words about it spread, he might be in grave danger. The Thompsons were not his family, nor did he owe them anything, so he could not possibly offer such a rare method to Roanne.
Ruth bothered him for a long time before he finally gave her the complete version of the Mysterious Maiden. Method and if he simply gave the method to Roanne, Ruth would definitely be frustrated.
Just as he was absorbed in his thoughts, Roanne could no longer withstand the energy within her body and spewed blood from her mouth as she collapsed onto the ground.
Startled, Leon reacted in time to catch her before she landed on the ground. “Miss Thompson, what’s wrong?
H
“Leon, it hurts. I feel like there’s a fire burning inside my chest. Am I dying?” She studied Leon’s face sorrowfully.
She thought that Loen cured her and her heart was filled with hope and anticipation for the future; however, the burning sensation in her chest threatened to set her into flame and she realized that the treatment might have failed.
She could not help but feel devastated; she was so close to living a normal life, yet she was destined to meet
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1494
“Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you.” Leon hesitated when he saw how frail Roanne was and gritted his teeth, before making up his mind
“Okay, I believe you,” Roanne felt safe when she met his eyes.
“Miss Thompson, I’m about to teach you a training method. Memorize it by heart. Also, it’s classified and you’re not to tell anyone about this without my permission!” Leon reminded sternly.
He was not a man who could stand idly by when someone was dying, so he decided that he would have to teach Roanne the Mysterious Maiden Method to help her. However, he knew that certain precautions must be in place.
He was not particularly close to Roanne and to avoid any accident from happening, he decided to only teach her half the content of the Mysterious Maiden Method.
“Okay. I won’t tell anyone!” Roanne nodded, as she wondered what method Leon was going to teach her.
The method used by the Thompson was an Ultimate Power method and it was considered the most powerful method in the entire Sky County, so she did not think it would be possible for Leon to know any method more powerful than what the Thompsons had.
“The method I’ll teach you is called the Mysterious Maiden Method. Listen carefully,” Leon proceeded to
teach her the content of the first half of the method.
Roanne had a Darkness Complex and she was also a born genius in martial arts. After a brief explanation, she immediately grasped the concept and began to train with the method taught by Leon. Soon, she started to absorb the pure energy inside her body at a speed that was over ten times faster than earlier.
Leon was relieved when he noticed that Roanne’s energy was stabilizing and took advantage of the time to rest to recover from his loss of spiritual energy.
Outside the Light Convergence Circle, Angus, Vivian, and Yuri were excited to see that Leon revived Roanne. However, they soon saw Roanne spewing blood and they feared that Leon’s treatment might have failed.
Angus and Vivian desperately wished that they could run into the Light Convergence Circle to check on Roanne, but were stopped by Yuri.
“Mom, Dad, Mister Wolf told us repeatedly not to get in. Don’t be reckless!” Yuri said.
“He did say that, but Roanne is spewing blood from her mouth. Maybe there’s been an accident,” Vivian said worriedly.
“Don’t worry. Mister Wolf is doing everything he can to help Roanne. Let’s just be patient!” Raphael said.
“Alright then,” Both Vivian and Angus suppressed the concern in their hearts hesitantly.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1495
Half an hour later, Leon and Roanne remained sitting in the center of the Light Convergence Circle without moving. Angus and Vivian were so worried that they could not wait any longer.
“I have to go in there!” Angus said as he ran out of patience.
“Dad, just wait!” Yuri tried to stop him but was interrupted by Angus right away.
“I can’t wait any longer! Roanne seems to be in danger and I might be able to help!” He said as he walked toward the Light Convergence Circle.
“Baam!”
Just then, Roanne jolted as her energy rose from the Peak Innate State to the Realm of a Supreme Master.
“Roanne’s is powering up? What’s going on?”
Angus and the others were surprised by sight before them.
Roanne trained since a young age and they all knew that Roanne stopped at the Peak Innate State; not only did Leon revive Roanne, he assisted her through the bottleneck of her training, and it was so surreal that none of them could understand how Leon managed to accomplish such a thing.
Before they had the time to comprehend the situation fully, what happened next shook them to their core.
“Baam!”
Roanne jolted once again and her power rose from Initial Supreme State to the Intermediate Supreme State.
“She’s powering up multiple levels at a time?”
“Are we seeing this right?”
Stunned, they all rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
The path of a martial artist relied on hard work and there were any shortcuts, so surpassing multiple levels
at once was unheard of.
To their bewilderment, this was only the beginning.
“Baam! Baam! Baam!”
The energy within Roanne exploded, taking her power up to the Advanced Overlord State from the Intermediate Supreme State, before finally stabilizing.
“The Advanced Overlord State?”
“How’s this possible?”
Angus and the others were completely stunned.
They did not know what Leon did to Roanne but realized that Roanne took a leap of eight power levels with
Leon’s help, reaching the Advanced Overlord State from the Peak Innate State.
It was a miracle and none of them would have believed what happened if they did not see it themselves..
Naturally, they were not the only ones who were taken by surprise.
Leon, who sat in the middle of the Light Convergence Circle, stopped meditating when he sensed the sudden
peak of Roanne’s power and his jaw dropped.
He knew that the spike in power was a result of Roanne absorbing the energy within her with the Mysterious Maiden Method. However, he never expected her to reach the Advanced Overlord State within a matter of less
than an hour.
‘This is unheard of!‘ He thought, ‘I’ve worked so hard and I’m still in the Peak Supreme State, yet she managed to reach the advanced Overlord State like it was nothing! The comparison of talent is just so cruel!‘
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1496
Under the stunned looks of everyone around her, Roanne absorbed the last bits of energy inside of her and sighed a long breath of relief.
“Leon, the Mysterious Maiden Method is astounding! It’s so much better than the method we have! Can it be an Absolute Method?!” She exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
Training methods were the foundation of martial artists‘ strength and the more effective a method. more precious it would be and most people would keep their methods to themselves.
was, the
She thought that it would be impossible for Leon to possess any powerful method as he was only a man with
no power or status.
Much to her surprise, the method swiftly transformed the energy within her body, and she rose to the
Advanced Overlord State because of it.
The speed and effectiveness of the Mysterious Maiden Method were far superior to the method owned by the Thompsons, and even a fool would be able to tell that the Mysterious Maiden Method was likely an Absolute
Method.
“Just keep it to yourself,” Leon smiled and reminded her once again.
“Yeah. I’ll never tell anyone else about it!” Roanne nodded as she finally understood why Leon insisted that
she kept it a secret.
“You’re a good man, Leon. Not only did you save my life, you even gave me an Absolute method. I don’t even know how I can ever repay my debt to you,” Roanne bowed deeply in gratitude.
“It’s my duty as a doctor to help people. You don’t have to thank me. Being a good man comes with great cost nowadays,” Leon smiled bitterly.
To save Roanne’s life, he sacrificed two–thirds of a thousand–year–old Ganoderma and half the content of the Mysterious Maiden Method. However, he knew he would still do the same even if he had to experience the same thing again.
“Thank you, anyway,” Amused by Leon’s bitter smile, Roanne began to find Leon approachable.
Leon collected the jadeite tablets and deactivated the Light Convergence Circle, before stepping out of it with
Roanne.
Seeing that the treatment ended, Angus and the others hurried over.
“Mom, Dad,” Roanne felt relieved to have narrowly escaped death and threw herself into Vivian’s arms.
“You’re finally awake, Roanne! How do you feel right now? Are you okay?” Vivian asked worriedly, her heart. racing as she feared that Roanne would be unwell.
“I’m fine. I feel so much better now,” Roanne said.
“That’s great!” Exited, Vivian wrapped her arms around Roanne and shed tears of joy.
“Mister Wolf, how’s Roanne doing?” Concerned, Angus could not help but check with Leon once again.
“Miss Thompson has been cured. I’ll write her a prescription later to help with her recovery and come by
again to check on her in a couple of days,” Leon said with a smile.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1497
“Really?! That’s great! You’re such a brilliant doctor, Mister Wolf!” Angus burst out laughing.
Both Yuri and Raphael were excited as well and started grinning from ear to ear.
Afterward, Angus took out his checkbook and wrote a cheque for 130 million.
“Mister Wolf, we can never repay you for what you’ve done for Roanne. Consider this my gesture of gratitude. Please accept it,” Angus said sincerely as he handed the cheque to Leon.
“That won’t be necessary, Mister Thompson! Thank you for the gesture, but I’m not a professional doctor and don’t accept payment, so please keep the cheque!” Leon rejected it without even looking at the cheque.
“No way! You did so much to save Roanne and even used up an extremely rare piece of Ganoderma! I can’t let you do that without getting something in return!” Angus said.
“It’s fine. Really! These are my own rules! If you want to thank me, just help me out when I’m in need in the future,” Leon insisted.
A thousand–year–old Ganoderma was rare, but he obtained it for free from the Dragon Corps, so he did not suffer any loss. Leon always thought that acts of kindness had their way of going around. He never accepted payment for treating people, and since he had more money than he needed at the moment, he would never break his own rule over money.
“Oh okay, then.” Seeing how determined Leon was, Angus could only give up.
He felt guilty because he was prejudiced against Leon, thinking that he wanted to be in favor of the Thompsons for monetary benefits. Yet, Leon refused to accept any payment for saving his daughter. He realized that Leon was a man with a strong sense of responsibility and virtue, and he misunderstood Leon.
“You’re such a virtuous man, Mister Wolf! Don’t worry, if you need help with anything, just say the word and I’ll get it done for you!” Angus promised earnestly.
“You’re too kind, Mister Thompson. It’s not that big of a deal,” Leon smiled.
Suddenly, an idea formed in Raphael’s mind and he suggested, “Mister Wolf, you mentioned that you need help with marketing the sales drive of your company, right? Since my uncle has offered it, why don’t you for their help?”
“Oh, I almost forgot about that!” Leon was reminded about the marketing of his alchemical pills.
ask
He wanted to seek the help of Raphael and the Westwoods, but the Thompsons were the head of all families in the southern region and their power over the area was incomparable.
If Angus agreed to help, it would achieve a far better result for Cynthion Group.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1498
“Marketing? Mister Wolf, why are you talking about?”
Angus was confused by the conversation between Leon and Raphael.
“Here’s the thing, Mister Thompson, I’ve recently established a pharmaceutical firm and plan on selling some alchemical pills on a sales drive. If possible, I’d like the Thompsons‘ help with the marketing,” Leon explained.
“I see! Sure. That won’t be an issue. I’ll handle it!” Realization dawned on Angus and agreed without
hesitation.
Both Raphael and he thought that Loen was selling ordinary supplements, but to clarify the marketing scheme, Angus asked, “Mister Wolf, what kind of pills are you selling and how would you like for us to market them?”
“Cynthion Group mainly sells Energy Nurturing Pills that’ll help martial artists in the Peak Emperor State or below to train more efficiently,” Leon briefly explained the effect of the Energy Nurturing Pills.
“What?”
“You said that the Energy Nurturing Pills can help with martial artists‘ training?”
“Really?!”
Angus, Yuri, and Raphael were all stunned.
“Yeah. It’s true!” Leon nodded.
“Impossible! Mister Wolf, training only progress with hard work and there are no shortcuts! I’ve never heard of any pills that can speed up progress. Please stop messing around!” Angus snapped out of it and shook his head, doubting that the Energy Nurturing Pill would have such a potential. Realization dawned on him that exaggeration was a common method in modern marketing, so it was likely that Leon was exaggerating the effect of the Energy Nurturing Pills to get attention to his company when the pills were only ordinary supplements.
“I’m not messing around. I mean it!” Leon deadpanned.
“But, Forget it. I’ll do my best to help with the marketing!” Angus hesitated and decided against arguing.
Leon just saved Roanne and even if Leon was exaggerating the effect of the pills, there was no way that Angus could refuse to help.
The Thompsons were a powerful family in the southern region and reputation was imperative, so he could only wish that the Energy Nurturing Pills were not harmful in any way, nor the Thompson’s name would be left in the dirt.
“Mister Thompson, I happen to have some Advanced Energy Nurturing Pills with me right now. If you don’t believe what I said, you can take one to try it.” Leon sensed Angus’s doubts and took a flask from his pocket, before handing Angus an Advanced Energy Nurturing Pill.
“I’m past the Peak Emperor State so the pills won’t do anything for me. Yuri, why don’t you take it?” Angus glanced at the pill with dismay.
“Sure,” Yuri said, before taking the pill from Leon and swallowing it.
Like Angus, Yuri did not believe there would be pills to help with training, but his expression darkened as soon as he swallowed the pill.
The pill melted right away and transformed into a wave of energy that filled his body. Not daring to delay any future, Yuri sat down on the ground and began to circulate the energy inside of him.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1499
“Yuri, what are you doing?”
Angus was confused when he saw Yuri sitting down on the ground.
Raphael, too, was confused and wondered if the Energy Nurturing Pill was effective.
‘But how’s this possible?‘ He thought to himself.
During their confusion, Yuri allowed the energy to circulate within his body and stood up.
“Yuri, what’s going on?” Angus asked.
“Dad, the pill works perfectly! I just took one and can already feel I’m making progress! If I take a few more in the future, I might be able to get to the Intermediate Emperor State soon!” Yuri said in excitement as he complimented the Energy Nurturing Pill.
He was at the very top of the Initial Emperor State and was extremely close to ascending to the next level. The pure energy in the Energy Nurturing Pill was helpful with breakthroughs and since Yuri was a genius unlike any other, it was normal for him to make progress with just one pill.
“What?! Can it be a coincidence?” Angus could not believe what he just heard.
“It’s not a coincidence! I can sense that not only can the Energy Nurturing Pill help with the training progress, I think it makes it more likely for martial artists to get past the bottlenecks of their training!” Yuri said with certainty.
“Yes, that’s right! Energy Nurturing Pills increase the possibility for one to level up, but the likelihood of that happening is relatively low.” Leon nodded.
It was an effect that the Basic Energy Nurturing Pills contained, so the advanced version of it would be even better in that aspect. However, the chance of a martial artist getting to the next power level with the help of Energy Nurturing Pills was low compared to Pure Energy Pills.
“Really? That’s great! Mister Wolf, can I have an Energy Nurturing Pill as well? I want to see if I can get past the bottleneck of my training!” Surprised, Raphael pleaded
He reached the Semi–Overlord State a few years ago, but since ascending to the Overlord State was extremely challenging, he could not make any progress since then.
Since he was told that the Energy Nurturing Pills could increase the chances for martial artists to get past the bottlenecks of their training, he desperately wanted to take it and did not care if Leon was telling the truth,
If he could at least make progress with the pill, it would be ideal.
“No, you won’t need the Energy Nurturing Pill!” Leon shook his head.
“I don’t need it? Why not?” Raphael did not expect Leon to turn him down and was disappointed.
“Don’t
get
ahead of yourself, Mister Westwood. Apart from the Energy Nurturing Pills, we sell Pure Energy Pills, too. This is an alchemical pill that guarantees the reaching of the Overlord State when taken by Semi- Overlords! For your case, I think it’d be best to take the Pure Energy Pill instead,” Leon explained with a
smile.
“What?!”
Angus, Yuri, and Raphael were all shaken by Leon’s words.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1500
“Mister Wolf, are you saying that the Pure Energy Pill can get me to the Overlord State right away? Am I hearing you right?” Raphael gasped.
Both Angus and Yuri were shocked as well.
Getting to the next power level was always challenging for all martial artists and the higher the level, the more difficult it would be to reach, so they all had a hard time accepting that there were pills that guaranteed a breakthrough.
“You heard me right! I happen to have Advanced Pure Energy Pills with me. I’ll give you one! If you have doubts about the Pure Energy Pills, you can just try one!” Leon said, before taking a pill out of a flask and handing it to Raphael.
“Sure. Let’s see what this pill is as powerful as you claim it to be!” Raphael accepted the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
The energy within the Pure Energy Pill was far purer and stronger compared to that of an Energy Nurturing
Pill.
Raphael immediately sat down on the ground to allow the energy to surge through his body.
Both Angus and Yuri watched him intently to see if the Pure Energy Pills could get Raphael to the Overlord State.
Angus did not believe that the Energy Nurturing Pills to begin with, so there was no way that he would believe the magical effect Leon claimed the Pure Energy Pills to have, and he desperately wanted to know if Leon was bragging.
Time slipped by and Raphael soon managed to claim the energy of the Pure Energy Pill as his, before attempting to break past the bottleneck of his training.
After trying relentlessly, he jolted as the energy within his body rose and he reached the Initial Overlord State.
“Thank the gods! I’ve gotten to the higher level!” He burst into laughter.
The Overlord State was an extremely challenging realm to reach and the younger martial artists in ordinary families like the Westwoods and the Scammells could only dream of reaching it. However, with the help of the Pure Energy Pill, he finally achieved his biggest dream and Raphael was overjoyed.
“How’s that possible?!”
Both Angus and Yuri were stunned when they saw what Raphael accomplished.
Angus, who had his doubts about the Energy Nurturing Pills and the Pure Energy Pills, no longer had reasons to question the effect of the pills.
any
“Mister Wolf, this pill is so much more powerful than the Energy Nurturing Pill! If I take one, will I get past the bottleneck of my training as well?” Yuri recovered from the shock and stared at the remaining Pure Energy Pills in Leon’s hands with anticipation and excitement.
Though Yuri reached the Emperor State and was one of the Thirteen Greats, he remained in the initial Emperor State and had one of the weakest among the Thirteen Greats. If the Pure Energy Pills could indeed
get him to the Intermediate Emperor State, he would rank much higher in the Thirteen Greats and that was his biggest dream in recent years.
