"I made this decision after thinking thoroughly about it. It's easier for you to get things done this way."Don't reject this offer, Chase. It's pointless. You should know that great power comes with great responsibility. There is no one else I can think of who can bear this responsibility besides you."Gareth looked hopefully at Chase."I'll do my best!"Chase had no choice but to agree when he heard Gareth's reply.He knew that Gareth had made this decision because he had the divine Black Turtle standing behind him.Bactria had placed its hopes on him, which means that the same burden was being placed on the divine Black Turtle.Gareth did not stay long after Chase agreed to it. He left them with some more instructions before leaving the base.Chase dismissed everyone and stayed behind with the Four Heavenly Kings and both of his disciples."You heard what Mr. Cloves said just now. I hope that you won't let me and Bactria down."Chase said this to remind them to be discipli
"Just by looking at the deep trenches on the ground, it was enough for me to know that those couldn't have been left by a martial lord."Skylar told Chase when he saw Chase's anxious expression."Don't worry, I've removed all traces. No one but me knows about it, but that's only a temporary cover. A martial sovereign will discover one day that they are allowed to roam this world. "Now that your power has reached peak martial lord, you're still an ant to a martial sovereign. You should continue working hard. The world is about to change."Skylar gave Chase the warning after he was sure that Chase was not lying and left after that.Chase knew that he was too weak when it came to facing such a powerful existence. There was a flash, and he appeared inside the Dragon Vein Secret Realm. He began cultivating there.After entering the Dragon Vein Secret Realm, Chase realized that another bubble-form space had been unsealed.It must have unsealed when Chase achieved a breakthrough to st
"What do you mean?"Chase did not remember saying anything to cause such trouble."Didn't you say you wanted to challenge those on the same cultivation level as you? The cultivating world has been talking about this. They're saying that Chase Collins doesn't know better and he's challenging all of the younger generation of the cultivating world because he wants to be known as the strongest powerhouse in this generation. Any known genius in the cultivating world has traveled to Capital City just to challenge you.""What?!"Chase was shocked by this news."When did I ever say I wanted to challenge every cultivator of the younger generation?""Did you forget what you said to everyone while you were at the Sosa Clan?" Skylar reminded him.That was when Chase remembered that he had said something similar when he was there a few days ago."I was just reacting to the arrogance of those people at the Sosa Clan!" Chase tried to explain."There's no point explaining anything to me. You
"That's a good point!"While they were discussing this, things got heated up with the fight.Chase and Trek, who were fighting, had pulled away from each other.Trek was reeling from the pain of being double-punched. He was forced to face the fact that his punches were nothing in front of Chase.He wanted to say something. However, Chase had started to launch an attack on him.Chase's Ancient Wave Punch could now go up to more than 50 per move.His absolute limit was 99.However, it was not an attack that Chase could immediately launch as it required the power of a martial sovereign. Otherwise, Chase's body would give out if he launched multiple punches.More than 50 punches were enough to stress out Chase's body.His fists were beginning to hurt.However, it only piqued Chase's curiosity further as to what the limit of the Ancient Wave Punch could be for him.The situation had turned against Trek, and there was nothing he could do.He was finding it increasingly difficult
At least he was still able to witness such strength before he died.It was worth dying to see what he had been living for.Trek closed his eyes."This can't be true. They were just fighting each other, and now, one of them is dying?""Yeah. Trek Cayman must be prepared to die because he has realized he can't win Chase Collins. Looks like Chase Collins is more powerful than we thought." "That's right. I didn't expect the first fight to have so much bloodshed. Someone is actually going to die."Everyone was shocked to see Trek close his eyes to welcome death.No one thought Chase was doing anything wrong.Trek and Chase were in a fight, and in the cultivating world, they had to be responsible for their own lives and deaths.This was especially true for independent cultivators as situations like this were considered a norm.The punch of death Trek was expecting did not land. Instead, he heard a loud explosion beside him.Trek opened his eyes in bewilderment and saw Chase's arm
"Join Basalt?" Trek felt doubtful about this."Yes. You know that I have another identity, which is Basalt's Collins. Basalt needs talents. If you're willing to, you can join Basalt. Even though the pay isn't high, it's still better than being an independent cultivator."Chase explained the situation to Trek."But my master has passed, and I'm a man with no identity. I'm an independent cultivator with an unknown background. Can I really join Basalt?"Trek did not feel confident about himself."Don't worry. You managed to cultivate your punching technique to such a formidable stage, and I don't believe that you're a bad person. As for joining Basalt, it'll only take one word from me. You don't need to take orders from anyone after joining Basalt except for me. All you need to tell me now is if you're willing to join."Chase looked at Trek with a serious look.Trek no longer hesitated when he heard Chase's words. He immediately gave Chase a quick answer."I am."Trek might have
"Be serious about this. I know you didn't give your all today. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that they're different."Kingston warned Chase grimly.Chase stopped smiling cheekily when he saw how concerned Kingston was about this. The next thing that came out of his mouth was like dropping a bomb at Kingston."Someone from one of the Four Clans, the Obscure Sun Clan, has already tried to fight me. I managed to defeat her.""What? Who was it?" Kingston asked in astonishment."A woman called Summer Lyman," Chase said honestly."It's her!""Do you know who she is?""Of course, I do. Summer Lyman is an absolute genius from the Obscure Sun Clan. Even though she's a woman, she already has the ability to suppress those of her generation in the Obscure Sun Clan. You actually defeated her? From what I've heard, she's a stage-nine martial lord."Kingston stared at Chase in disbelief."Do you think I stand to gain anything by lying to you?""Nope.""If you know that, what's the poi
As the spectators of the fight left one after the other, news of Chase's victory spread everywhere.Chase was described as a legendary man in those stories. He could do anything according to them. However, there was only one conclusio derived from all those stories.He was the strongest person among the younger generation. Even though he was only a stage-seven martial lord, he was powerful enough to defeat those of a higher level.Many people who thought nothing of Chase began to pay attention.All of them came flocking to Capital City.They knew that after his first fight, there would be a second fight.It was just as everyone had expected.Not long after Chase won his first fight, people began to sign up with Skylar to challenge Chase.However, most of them were independent cultivators. None of them were from renowned clans of families.Skylar had even taken the time to discuss this with Chase and wondered if they should put up requirements for challengers.Chase was not to
