"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
Skylar's words immediately grabbed the attention of Chase and the others, who leaned in closer to listen.True to his reputation as a miracle doctor, Skylar had discerned that Bianca's affliction was the Dragon Song Physique without Chase even needing to explain. Even more impressively, he had identified a method to expel it in such a short time."Master, what is the method?" Chase asked when Skylar did not immediately continue.Quinn, who was equally anxious, spoke up as well. "Master, please help her."Even Hannah could not hold back, pleading, "Master, please save her for my sake."Seeing the hopeful expressions of the three, Skylar decided not to delay any further and began to explain in detail."There is a way, but given the current state of the world, it is impossible to accomplish.""What do you mean by that, Master Skylar?" Chase asked, puzzled."To expel the Dragon Song Physique from this girl, the only solution is to find the world's sole True Dragon. The Dragon Song
Skylar was unexpectedly asking the two women to leave."They're both my sisters. If you have something to say, Master Skylar, just say it directly," Chase responded firmly, indicating that his sisters were not outsiders.Hearing this, Skylar hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. "I never imagined that the one with the most True Dragon bloodline would be you. As expected of the Collins family's descendant.""Master, you know the Collins family? You know who I am?" Chase asked curiously."Chase Collins, the last descendant of the Collins family in Capital City. How could I not know? I even held you when you were born, but I never thought that over 20 years would pass so quickly, and you'd grow up like this," Skylar said with a hint of nostalgia on his face."Master, did you know my father?" Chase quickly inquired upon hearing Skylar's words."I not only knew your father, but I also knew most of the Collins family," Skylar said slowly, gazing at Chase."Please tell me mor
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
Chase knew that among all the shadow beasts in the region, these creatures provided the greatest challenge for honing his strength.The more powerful the beast, the stronger its physique, and its blood essence carried immense energy. Consuming it could bring tremendous benefits to a martial god.However, the area where he had just fought was still on the outermost edges of the Forbidden Zone, meaning there were no truly formidable shadow beasts nearby.Another deafening beastly cry shattered the silence, shaking the heavens.A massive shadow loomed over Chase, blocking out the sunlight and forcing him to squint against the darkness.His brows furrowed, and when he looked up, his pupils contracted sharply.A colossal black eagle soared above, its wings flaring like razor-sharp blades, dominating the skies with imperial arrogance.This shadow beast's aura was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary martial god-level beast!It had reached the peak of stage-nine martial god!
"Stay… Stay back!"The white-robed young man was terrified, stumbling backward in panic."What are you all standing there for?! Save me!" He screamed, his voice filled with desperation.Finally snapping out of his daze, the black-robed martial artist lunged at Chase, his palm slicing through the air in a powerful strike. However, he underestimated Chase's strength.With a single impact, the man's entire arm shattered into dust. He let out a miserable scream as his body was sent flying!Chase's attacks were too swift, too fierce. Even with the two of them working together, they could not withstand his power!"Run!"The last remaining martial artist in green robes was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.He turned to flee without hesitation.Chase chased him down in an instant, delivering a powerful whip-like kick that knocked him unconscious on the spot.Then, he grabbed both lifeless bodies and tossed them into the undergrowth. Only after dealing with them did he
Hearing this, Chase immediately understood the situation. They were trying to rob him!He spread his hands casually. "Oh, that thing? I already ate it."Beside him, Emilia nearly burst out laughing. This guy was too good at bluffing!Chase rolled his eyes. "If you want it so badly, why don't you come take it?""You refuse to cooperate? Fine, I'll make you regret it!" The young man in white robes grew furious, his expression turning ice-cold. "You little bastard! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you practice martial arts! If you don't hand it over, I'll break your damn legs today!""Oh? Is that so?" Chase grinned, showing his teeth. "In that case, why don't we spar a little?""You're asking for death!" The white-robed young man charged at him, his companion following closely behind.A terrifying surge of spiritual energy exploded outward.Chase narrowed his eyes. With one punch, he sent both of them flying backward with a loud bang!"W-What?! This is peak… martial god
The young woman's face flushed red as she hastily pulled her collar together, her wary gaze locked onto Chase."Are you a body-refining martial artist? Attacking me like that was despicable, shameless, and downright vile! I'll kill you to uphold justice!" she shouted indignantly.Chase let out a helpless chuckle. "Miss, I just saved your life, yet instead of thanking me, you call me despicable?"The woman stiffened, her lips parting as if to argue. In the end, however, she lowered her head and muttered an apology, "I lost my composure. Please forgive me."After saying this, she retrieved a dagger from her robe and handed it to Chase. Her expression seemed sincere."My name is Emilia Larsen. This was left to me by my parents. Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life. I hope you won't refuse it. This dagger is exceptionally sharp—it can slice through iron like it's mud. Keep it safe and don't lose it.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow as he accepted the dagger, examining
