Chapter 2083


    Meanwhile, onstage, Rodney turned to Leon with a look of disdain and said, "You can go first, Leon!"


    Since Leon practiced the sage arts, Rodney, like his father, was not too sure of Leon''s true extent of


    power and thus was trying to get Leon to attack first to gauge his power.


    "I''d like you to go first so that you might have a fighting chance!" Leon scoffed, putting on a demeanor


    even more contemptuous than Rodney''s.


    "Very well then! You asked for this, and since you have a death wish, I''ll dly fulfill you!" Rodney


    snickered, utterly outraged by how cocky Leon was behaving. Then, without a moment''s hesitation, he


    unleashed a surge of power and sent it barreling Leon''s way!


    However, since he was just trying to lure Leon into retaliating, he did not put much force into his first


    attack and did not even employ his secret weapon. Instead, he unleashed a few more attacks in Leon''s


    way, intending to provoke Leon and make him reveal the true extent of his capabilities.


    "Take this!" Leon scoffed as he stepped forward, unleashing a few attacks of retaliation that easily took


    Rodney on!


    Now that he already attained the Initial Golden Core Phase in his sage arts training, this made him on


    par with the Intermediate Emperor State, andbined with the Mirror of Sovereign, he was able to


    establish a defense against attacks of even the Semi-Almighty State!


    In conclusion, with his power and defense, he could have easily defeated Rodney right then and there,


    but that was not his intention at all!


    Rodney cheated during his duel against Roanne with his secret weapon, and both he and the Southern


    Boss managed to pin all the me onto Cynthion Group. Since Cynthion Group was yet to find a way


    to prove their innocence, Leon was determined to find a way to trick Rodney into revealing his secret


    weapon so that he could expose him in front of everyone!


    Not only would doing so be able to prove Cynthion Group''s innocence, but he would be able to avenge


    Roanne''s defeat as well!


    "Thud! Thud! Thud!"


    With that, Leon and Rodney continued to engage in an intense battle spanning almost dozens of


    attacks and counter-attacks!


    "I can''t believe that President Wolf managed to hold up so well against Mister Spears!"


    "Could he have possibly attained the Emperor State as well?"


    The audience was stunned by this sight. From what they knew, Yuri and Rodney were the only two


    youngsters who sessfully attained the Emperor State at this point, and the rest of the descendants


    of major families, including Darius and Joel, were only at the Semi Emperor State at most!


    They could not believe that a man with nothing under his name like Leon managed to also attain the


    Emperor State!


    Apart from Roanne, whose true extent of power was yet to be determined, Leon would officially


    be the third member of the young generation in the Southern region to aplish such a feat!


    What was most astounding was the fact that Leon was even younger than Yuri or Rodney by at least


    three or four years!


    With this in mind, it was safe to say that Leon was a far more talented martial artist than either of them,


    and this was a shocking revtion, to say the least!


    The audience was not the only ones stunned by this realization; even Angus and Yuri''s jaws dropped.


    They all initially thought that Leon would be no match for Rodney at all, so it was beyond their wildest


    dreams to see Leon holding up against Rodney so well!


    It was at this moment that they finally understood why Leon was so adamant to ept Rodney''s


    challenge; it turned out that Leon was truly capable of taking up this challenge after all!


    However, Rodney still had a secret weapon with him, and they were not too certain whether Leon could


    not put up a good fight should Rodney choose to unleash its powers!Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
