Chapter 1824


    “What? You want to recruit martial artists in the Semi-Almighty and Almighty States?” “Seriously?”


    Iris and the other three gasped in disbelief.


    “Leon, do you have a fever or something? A martial artist in the SemiAlmighty State is already


    considered at the very top of the southern region, and only powerful families have what it takes to


    cultivate such a powerful martial artist, not to mention someone in the Almighty State! It’s not possible


    to recruit someone like that!” Ruth reached out to ce her hand on Leon’s forehead as though she


    was testing his temperature.


    “I’m not sick! Don’t worry. I have my way!” Leon moved her hand away.


    “Brag all you want! You aren’t even in the Emperor State yourself, so why would someone in the Semi-


    Almighty State or above want to follow you? Do you take them all for fools?” Ruth scoffed.


    Martial artists always valued strength above all; since Leon had no power in the southern region and


    was far from reaching the Semi-Almighty State, he could not persuade someone of that level to work


    for him.


    “Yeah!”


    “It’s unrealistic!”


    Iris, Cynthia, and Snow shook their heads as they all thought that Leon was nning the impossible.


    “Alright, let’s talk about thatter! Let’s get back to training and level up as soon as possible! That way,


    we will be more capable of protecting ourselves as well!” Leon changed the subject.


    His training in sage art reached a bottleneck and it was far harder to have a breakthroughpared to


    someone who was training for martial art, so he saw no sign of a breakthrough so far. Hence, he could


    only devote more hard work to his training in the hope of getting to the next power level.


    Once that was achieved, he could take the Angel’s Fruit to get to the Golden Core Phase, so that he


    would gain more power.


    “Sure, let’s go!”


    Iris, Cynthia, and Snow agreed and stood from their seats.


    After all that happened recently, they all realized that they were too weak and started to be a


    burden for Leon, so they nned on focusing on their training so that they could be of help to Leon.


    Contrary to their enthusiasm, Ruth, who often enjoyed the training, leaned onto the table gloomily.


    “Ruth, what’s wrong?”

    The three were shocked by how demotivated Ruth looked.


    “Ugh! I’ve been working so hard for over half a month, but I’m still in the SemiOverlord State and I just


    can’t get to the Overlord State! On top of that, I can’t even take the Advanced Pure Energy Pill! I’m so


    frustrated!” Ruth said.


    She reached the Semi-Overlord State weeks ago. Though the Overlord State was only a level apart


    from the Semi-Overlord State, it was extremely challenging for one to close the gap. Even if Ruth was a


    one-in-a-million genius and had the help of the Spiritual Pearl, she was not able to make much


    progress.


    The Advanced Pure Energy Pill could get martial artists in the SemiOverlord State to the Overlord


    State, but she already took one Basic Pure Energy Pill back in Springfield City, so she could not take


    another pill so soon after and she could not help but feel frustrated.
