Bald rushed in and took one look at Flynn, and his murderous intent flared up. However, when he noticed Fred and the bodyguards, he hesitated."Who the hell are you? You dare come buy things here? Are you looking to die too?"Flynn immediately grabbed the statue on the table, ready to bash Bald's head in. But when Fred saw his sacred statue being lifted, he quickly demanded, "What's going on?""What's going on? Who the hell are you? Don't you know this place is set for demolition? Get the hell out, or I'll beat you up too!"Bald, who was unaware of who Fred was, swung a slap at him."You son of a—"The bodyguard understood his boss' thoughts and was instantly furious. He stepped forward quickly and raised his hand, delivering a resounding slap that sent Bald sprawling to the floor. His face turned from red to blue in an instant.Bald now looked utterly disheveled.Seeing this, the other thugs hesitated momentarily and were about to charge. However, the bodyguard then barked at
"Spiritual energy! There's spiritual energy here. The project manager specifically instructed us to take this place," Bald finally confessed, but he quickly looked troubled. "But now it's all gone!"Fred was in a bind. Before last night, he would never have believed in this kind of thing, but now, he was not so sure. If there really was spiritual energy here, his father would definitely go to any lengths to acquire this place. Yet now, he needed help from the shop's owner, so Fred was unsure how to proceed.Seeing Fred's hesitation, Flynn was about to speak up. Just then, Chase's voice finally broke through.The voice was only audible to Flynn."Flynn, your grandfather is gone now, and your strength is still low. I suggest you take the demolition compensation, find a place to train, and return when you're stronger.""But what about the spiritual energy revival?" Flynn was not dumb. This was not the first time Chase had appeared, and Flynn had clearly grown accustomed to Chase's
"How was it, master? Are you satisfied?" Fred asked Flynn politely once the men had scrambled out."As long as the demolition goes smoothly, it's fine. This house was entrusted to us, after all. Not offering any demolition compensation would be disrespectful to the souls beneath the ground," Flynn replied, trying to sound profound.He felt a rush of satisfaction, though his words carried a hint of pretense. Inside, he thought, "This just feels amazing."Fred nodded thoughtfully at Flynn's words, then after a moment, he spoke up again, "Master, I called my girlfriend, and she agreed to talk with me. What should I do now?"Even asking Flynn about personal matters like this showed how much Fred trusted Flynn's guidance."Do you know where your girlfriend lives?" Flynn pondered for a moment before responding seriously."No, I don't.""Boss, our finance department has her ID information!" The bodyguard, quick-witted as ever, immediately remembered a useful lead."Oh, right!" Fred ex
Bald's eyes flickered, perhaps recalling his previous beatings. However, he quickly pulled out a document and waved it in the air, shouting with confidence, "The contract's signed! You're still not leaving? Do you want another beating?""Tomorrow! We'll leave tomorrow!" Seeing the document, Flynn made up his mind and stood firm."No! Leave now! And you, little girl, I'll have you under me soon," Bald said, leering at Celeste in a vile manner as his eyes lingered on her sensitive areas.This look enraged Flynn, whose youthful vigor surged."Get lost!" Celeste yelled angrily, puffing out her chest.However, Bald suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Celeste tightly in his arms."Let me go!" Celeste screamed, struggling without success. Bald just grinned wickedly."Brat, this time I've got time for you. I won't stop until I have you," he sneered, his hand already groping Celeste's chest."Help!" Celeste cried out in desperation."You're dead!" Flynn swung his stick, smashing it dow
"How are you feeling?"As soon as Chase opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure above him. He realized he was lying in Quinn's arms, and she was looking down at him with concern."I'm fine. How long has it been?" Chase asked quickly, becoming aware that he had left the other world. He felt like he had been there for days and hoped it would not have affected the real world too much as it concerned Bianca's safety.Reflecting on the last moments before he left that world, Chase still found it hard to believe. In the blinding light, he thought he saw a figure emerging, one that looked eerily familiar. It matched the silhouette hidden deep within his consciousness.It was impossible. Chase could not believe it, yet the sight was undeniable. The figure in the light seemed to be speaking to him, lips moving without a sound reaching him.Chase had a strong sense that this person was trying to communicate with him."What do you mean, how long has it been? You set up the soundproof bar
As Chase sized up the man, the man was also scrutinizing Chase. He seemed surprised to see such a young pair of men and women. His gaze then moved past them and landed on Trevor and the others. His expression immediately hardened as he spoke."Who are you? Why have you intruded into Bactria?" he demanded, his tone filled with suspicion.Seeing this, Chase realized the man had misunderstood. It was not entirely his fault—Trevor and the Sands clearly looked like Eastern Oceanians, which instantly raised red flags.In Bactria, any sighting of Eastern Oceanians typically aroused hostility."Sir, I'm Chase Collins. Don't get the wrong idea; these three are my servants," Chase quickly explained. He only bothered to clarify because he figured the man was likely a compatriot.Upon hearing Chase introduce himself, the man was taken aback. It was obvious he had heard of the name before."What? You say you're Chase Collins? How can you prove it?" the man questioned skeptically."What do yo
As soon as Chase landed in Capital City, he received a call from Scott."Hey, Scott. What's up?" Chase answered the call without any formalities."Chase, is it really you? Hugh just called to confirm, and I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect you to actually be back. Where are you now?" Scott's voice came through the phone."Capital City.""What? That's fast." Scott was immediately surprised. It had only been a short while, and Chase was already in Capital City. With speed like that, it was no wonder he did not bother with taking flights anymore."Scott, do you need something or not? If not, I'll hang up. I'm busy right now.""Oh, I just wanted to confirm if it was really you who showed up at the border. Now that I know it's you, that'll be all. But Chase, be careful now that you're back in Capital City. The Weber family is still looking for you."Scott gave him a quick warning."Alright, I got it."Seeing that Scott did not have much else to say, Chase hung up and headed str
Being pulled along by Hannah, Chase had no choice but to keep up with her pace. Did she say her mentor? Had the miracle doctor Skylar returned? Chase suddenly remembered who Hannah's mentor was.Deep inside Herb Hall, Chase finally met the miracle doctor—a small, scruffy old man. Seeing Hannah leading a stranger straight into his room, Skylar's face showed clear displeasure."Hannah, you're still unmarried, and you're holding hands with a man? What kind of behavior is this? Let go of him!" Skylar's tone carried a mix of anger and affection."Master, this is my brother, Chase, the one I told you about. And this is my sister, Quinn," Hannah said as she introduced them, releasing Chase's hand."This is my master, the renowned miracle healer, Skylar Lyman.""Greetings, Master Skylar," Chase and Quinn greeted respectfully."So, you're Chase?""You've heard of me?""Hmph, you're the young troublemaker who's turned all of Capital City upside down. It's hard not to know about you.""I
"Damn it! What kind of mysterious medicine is this? The pain is unbearable!"Moments later, Chase calmed down, and his expression was dazed as he muttered to himself, "That scene… Could it have been an illusion?"Chase refused to believe it was merely an illusion. After all, if it were, how could he have seen that towering, majestic mountain?That night, Chase stayed in the cave instead of leaving. He continued to study the Dominion Codex, determined to master the technique as quickly as possible and ascend to a higher realm.…Meanwhile, a man clad in armor stood suspended in the air in another location.The man's posture was upright, his features sharp and striking, with eyes as deep and vast as the cosmos. He exuded an overwhelming aura of sharpness and power."So, it was an illusion?"The man frowned slightly, sensing a faint aura belonging to the Ghost King bloodline emanating from Chase. This discovery puzzled him."Something feels off," he murmured. "This human's bloodl
Chase stared in shock at the withered, lifeless corpse before him."So, this is the so-called secret?" Chase let out a bitter laugh and shook his head. "I thought I had stumbled upon a hidden relic, but it turns out to be nothing more than a trap."The eerie figure had used him as a mere sacrifice, intending to refine his body to restore his own strength and cultivation.The only secret Chase had uncovered was the entrance to the hidden realm, and he suspected it contained unimaginable treasures. Yet he realized the reason he could not enter alive was simple—he was not strong enough."If I've already been discovered, I might as well turn the tables!"His thoughts sharpened, and a ruthless gleam appeared in his eyes. Chase hurled a barrage of punches without hesitation.His iron fists rained down like a storm, striking the eerie figure with deafening impacts.The figure was caught completely off guard, stunned by the ferocity of Chase's counter-attack."Ahhh! You damn insect, st
With a flick of his trembling fingers, Chase unleashed a flash of silver sword energy from his fingertips, targeting the figure's forehead.The eerie figure was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Chase to launch an attack. However, he simply raised his hand and flicked a finger.The silver sword energy shattered instantly, and Chase staggered back several steps, his chest heaving with labored breaths."As I thought... My cultivation is too weak. Even using the second stance of my sword technique can't harm this old monster in the slightest. If I want to win, I'll have to use that final move…" Chase's mind raced as his gaze flickered with determination.At that moment, the eerie figure opened his eyes again, revealing a mocking grin."Your physique is peculiar," he remarked."Hahaha! Don't worry. Once you become my servant, all these divine abilities and techniques, even the secrets of the True Martial Principles, will belong to you!"As the figure finished speaking, a s
Chase quickly calmed his mind, and a broad smile spread across his face. The figure before him was undoubtedly the most powerful ally he had ever encountered.If he could earn this person's approval, he would gain access to an array of techniques—martial arts, supernatural skills, combat techniques, and even secrets for refining the body.This opportunity was far more significant than just obtaining the Seven-Star Herb and mastering a Supreme Technique."Boy, come here and bow before me!"Suddenly, the eerie figure sitting cross-legged spoke with a cold and commanding voice."Bow?" Chase froze for a moment. Was this guy out of his mind?"That's right! Your ability to make it this far proves you've passed the trial. As a reward, I will grant you an opportunity," the eerie figure said, his tone laced with icy indifference."From now on, you'll serve as my subordinate, guarding my tomb for a hundred years. Once the century is up, I'll set you free."Hearing this, Chase immediately
The blood mist gradually dissipated, revealing Chase's figure.Chase was slightly startled. He noticed that his skin was now covered in a faint golden layer of scales, resembling a suit of golden armor.These golden scales were not just protective layers; they felt more like a natural armor embedded into his body.He raised his hand and touched them. They were as hard as iron, with a faint metallic gleam shimmering under the light.Standing still, Chase let the wind blow past him. His clothes fluttered wildly.In the next moment, Chase stretched out his arms, exuding a terrifying destructive power as though a dragon had emerged from the sea.He slammed into the rock wall with full force, causing the stone surface to shatter and crack apart."This… This is the Supreme Technique!"Chase stood dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe. "I… I actually cultivated the Supreme Technique? The legendary Supreme Technique!"The Supreme Technique was the pinnacle of martial arts, an incred
The sight before him was astonishing. This figure had actually knocked him to the ground! It was beyond belief.Chase cast the man a cold, indifferent glance but said nothing. He turned and walked deeper into the valley.As he ventured further, the patterns etched into the mountain walls grew increasingly intricate and mysterious, with ripples of glowing light flowing through them."There's definitely something unusual here," Chase muttered to himself while nodding slightly.His eyes landed on a carved totem on the rock face. It was a ferocious and menacing Wolf King Totem.Suddenly, the totem came to life!The Wolf King opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, sending sound waves rippling through the air. Caught off guard, Chase coughed up blood on the spot."What the hell is this thing?" he exclaimed as his expression changed dramatically. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hastily retreated.Two Wolf King Totems peeled themselves from the wall. They ex
Chase had a guess about it. He pushed open the stone door and strode in, his eyes widening at the sight before him.He saw a great cliff that was thousands of feet high. It was full of numerous images and wordings carved into it. It looked quite a mess and he could remember nothing on it at a glance.Chase also distinctly sensed a thick wave of heaven and earth's vitality in this vast and open land."Huh? The vitality waves seem to contain an ancient yet weary aura."Chase was surprised.He crouched down next to the cliff to take a closer look."These wordings seem to be an ancient language. Could it be a type of ancient script?" Chase frowned.Ancient script?Chase gave this further thought.He reached out to pat the cliff in an attempt to find out if there were any treasures hidden within it.However, this cliff was as solid as steel. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to leave any marks on it."If I'm not able to destroy this cliff, I should just leave."Chase si
He had overlooked something. This Blood Demon Bead was too big.Even though his physique was strong, this Blood Demon Bead was too big for him to absorb."Should I give up just like that?" Chase hesitated.However, he soon shook his head. This was a rare treasure that could help enhance the power of a martial god, after all.It would be a pity if he gave up just like that."Let's try it one more time!"Chase clenched his teeth and continued channeling his skills as he absorbed the energy within the Blood Demon Bead madly.He spat out blood. His face was pale and his lips were black. His aura was dying.There was lethal poison within the Blood Demon Bead. One would die after consuming it."Oh no!"Chase was frightened.He thought that the energy within the Blood Demon Bead was massive enough to give him great help. However, it was now proven that he had underestimated how lethal the poison was in the bead."This can't continue. I have to stop cultivating or my life will be i
That information was like a wake-up call for Chase. It touched the deepest desire and hope in his heart.Martial artists were like a grain of sand between heaven and earth. The rules of heaven and earth were like the vast sea. Anyone who wanted to enter the sea could only do so by riding a boat. All Chase wanted was to board one.Unfortunately, he was not qualified to do so.The only way for him to break through the barrier was to jump out of the boat to be qualified as a rowboat that could travel the world on the vast sea.Chase was overwhelmed as his blood boiled with excitement."My physical strength has achieved the mass strength of eight thousand pounds, but it's still not a truly strong physique. I won't be able to fight powerful enemies with this shell of a body. The only way is to cultivate Battle Physique for me to become a truly powerful martial artist!"It's not only the Battle Physique, my swordsmanship must also enhance. Otherwise, I won't be able to use my full powe
