Chase carefully sensed Otis' divine sense and realized that only a small portion of it was covering him.The source of this power seemed to come from behind Otis, where the faint image of a white tiger loomed, its eyes fixated on him. Chase knew that any slight movement on his part would be instantly detected by the tiger's shadow. He continued to act as though he had not noticed anything unusual."Shall we begin?" Chase asked, keeping his expression neutral.Otis, seeing Chase's calm demeanor, assumed he was no different from the others who had come before. Even if Chase were aware of the White Tiger's presence, Otis was confident that no one could lie under its gaze.Otis began his questioning as usual."Have you ever joined a sect?" he asked, and the moment his words left his mouth, Chase noticed the White Tiger's gaze intensify slightly.Chase remained unfazed, answering calmly, "No.""Do you harbor any enmity toward the Weber family of Capital City?" Otis asked next."No,"
Otis frowned slightly as he listened.From the beginning, White Tiger never really intended to recruit anyone. It was common knowledge that White Tiger had deep ties with the Weber family.All the prime positions within the organization had long been occupied by young members of the Weber family with a bit of talent. There were no lucrative spots left.However, when Basalt made such a big move and with Red Phoenix stirring things up, some of the White Tiger guards gathered and decided to do the same, thinking they might as well get involved.They never expected someone so monstrously talented to actually show up."So, you're dissatisfied with the position?" Otis asked again, still not quite believing it."You should understand that once you join White Tiger, you'll have endless access to cultivation resources, rare treasures, and much more. No small sect could ever offer you such benefits. Are you sure you want to back out?""I think I'll pass. If you can't even offer me the mos
Skylar and Blake soon realized that Chase's residence had gathered an impressive force. The group of beautiful women around Chase were not ordinary. Each of them was from a prominent sect. Particularly noteworthy were Olivia and Enola.One's a genius hailed from the esteemed Esoteric Sword Sect, and the other was a genius from the Melody Sect. Even Skylar, who usually paid little attention to inter-sect relationships, could not help but take notice.When Skylar learned that Blake had come seeking a Breakthrough Pill to advance his martial lord level, he furrowed his brows.Even for a renowned healer like him, it was a challenging task. However, in the end, he agreed to help out, mostly out of respect for Lucas.Refining a Breakthrough Pill that helped facilitate a breakthrough to the martial lord level was not something that could be done quickly. As the conversation shifted, the others eventually asked Chase about the commotion he had been causing.Chase's sisters, especially,
Chase sensed around. Every little bottle contained ten pills.Linus noticed the puzzled look in Chase's eyes and began to explain, "This is the first kind." Linus picked up the pill bottle that was labeled with the color green and shook out a pill.He continued, "This is called a Cleansing Pill. It's used to cleanse a person's physical attributes and strengthen them. The most obvious effect of it is to give a person without any cultivation talent the physical attributes required to cultivate. Anyone who takes it will probably cultivate to at least a meridian-opening master."When Chase remained stoic, Linus picked up another blue bottle and poured out a pill as he continued speaking."This is the Mighty Pill. It's used to give strength. If a weak child takes it, he or she will be as strong as an adult. However, this will still depend on an individual's physical attributes. It works on cultivators as well, and it's quite effective for them.When Chase still remained expressionless,
"If Skylar had warned you about this and told you to hide it from me and your master for now, why did you tell me about it?"Chase's attention returned to Linus as he asked this question."I'm worried I won't be able to hide it from my master, and I wish to leave the pill with you temporarily."Linus told Chase the reason.It was because Linus knew himself well and was aware that he was not suited to be hiding anything.Chase looked at the pleading look in Linus' eyes and did not reject his request. He took the defect Breakthrough Pill from Linus.That was when someone knocked on Chase's door.He opened the door to see his sisters were already dressed up as they gathered in front of his room. It looked like they were prepared to get out of the house.Chase was curious."What are all of you doing so early in the morning?""We got in touch with Myra yesterday, and she said she'd be flying to Capital City? We're her sisters. We should pick a present for her for when she arrives.
"I had an emergency to handle. How is Joe doing?"Chase gave a vague answer and asked about Joe's current situation."He's a somebody now. Not only is Joe an official member of Basalt, but he was even lucky enough to become a disciple of one of the Four Heavenly Kings. It won't be long before he becomes our superior."The man said this with envy on his face.Joe was a disciple of one of the Four Heavenly Kings?Chase was taken aback to hear this news. However, it should not be surprising if he really thought about it.Joe had talent, and the Four Heavenly Kings probably fought over which of them should take him in as a disciple.While the man chatted with Chase, he led Chase to a seven-floor residential building in the base.Most of the Basalt members lived at the base.They arrived downstairs. The man shouted out loud right where they were, "Joe! Your friend is here to see you. Come on out!"He called out to Joe three times, and many of the building's residents looked out at
"Take these accordingly. Also, a friendly reminder to you to prepare some clean clothes to change out of and some water."As it was a Cleansing Pill, Chase thought that it might cause Joe to detox impurities from his body."These are legendary pills. How did you get them, Chase? You're not tricking me, are you?"Joe did not believe him immediately.However, Chase was acting normally and did not look like he was lying.Joe continued to have some doubts."Such pills must be worth a lot of money. Are you really giving them to me? Do you have any more?"Chase replied when he saw Joe's reaction, "Stop right there. You don't need to thank me. Just take them quickly."Chase wanted to see the effects with his own eyes. Joe had just been cultivating, and it was the best time to test the pills.Joe hesitated with the pills in his hand. He held up his hand to take the pills but later put his hand down again. Chase got anxious watching this."Just take them. Do you think I'll do anything
"Um… It's fine. Just focus on working hard and serving Basalt well. This is nothing if you do your best for Bactria," Chase took the opportunity to say.It looked like the pills worked much better than he thought. At least, that was Chase's conclusion after observing the results."To be honest, Chase, I know that those aren't ordinary pills. I have no idea how to thank you. If you need my help in the future, just come to me and I'll do everything in my power to help you!" Joe said to Chase seriously."Alright. If you feel fine, just take the other pill too."Chase did not take Joe's words seriously and pushed Joe to consume the other pill.The Cleansing Pill worked very well, and he wondered if the Mighty Pill would give him any surprises.Joe took the Mighty Pill without hesitation this time. He did not think twice about it like he did with the Cleansing Pill. His aura went berserk after taking the second pill, but it calmed down after an hour.Chase asked Joe about his conditi
"Listen up! I won't destroy my skills because lowlives like you aren't good enough to be my enemies!""What arrogance!"A powerful negative energy exploded from the young man in black."Don't you know anyone who said that died in the end?"The young man in black waved his hand, and a black saber appeared out of thin air. It glinted with a chilling flash."A precious weapon!"Chase's eyes brightened. He had heard someone talk about the treasure vault of the Nefarious Deity Sect. This weapon seemed to have been taken from there."Die!" the young man roared, and the black saber slashed down the air.A vast sword flash shone with brilliance and came down at Chase like a raging storm that wanted to crush Chase to pieces."You're a mere martial god ant. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?"Chase grunted coldly. He swept the red battle spear in his hand across at his opponent.There was a series of explosions that caused tremors everywhere. The sword flash vanished and f
"Let's go!"The bearded man stood up with difficulty while glaring fiercely at Chase. "Mark my words! This grudge between us isn't settled. I won't let you off!"With those words, the group of seven quickly retreated while supporting the bearded man. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from view.…"Did something happen here?" A while later, the sound of footsteps echoed nearby.Two young men in green robes approached, and as they took in the scene before them, their expressions froze in shock."What's going on here? I can see signs of battle. Could it be that powerful warriors were fighting here?" one of the youths asked, feeling perplexed."Wait, I smell blood! Could it be that someone was killed in a fight here?" the other exclaimed in alarm.Following the scent of blood, the two came across the bodies of several fallen guards lying on the ground. Among them, the bearded man was now barely clinging to life."It's him!"The two youths recognized the bearded man instant
"That's right! Kill him!"The remaining warriors gritted their teeth, their faces twisting with rage as they spread out and surrounded Chase.Although they were wary of Chase's strength, there was not a trace of fear in their expressions."I don't enjoy killing unnecessarily," Chase said calmly as his gaze swept across the group. "If you leave now, I promise not to harm any of you.""Stop wasting your breath!" the bearded man roared. Brandishing a long blade, he charged at Chase. "Kill him! Kill this beast!"In an instant, icy flashes of blade light sliced toward Chase.These attackers, all at the mid-stage of martial god, unleashed their sharpest attacks without hesitation. Each move was deadly and decisive, aiming to give Chase no chance to retaliate.However, Chase simply raised his palm and struck. With each punch, he unleashed an overwhelming force that shattered all the incoming blades of light.The last attacker was blasted into the air, coughing up a mouthful of blood b
'This place must have more monsters. I'll return later to collect them. If other warriors grab the spoils, it'll be a huge loss,' Chase thought to himself.He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the distant warriors. "Scram," he said coldly.At that moment, the sound of rushing wind echoed in the distance. Eight warriors dashed forward at incredible speed, landing near Chase in the blink of an eye.These eight individuals were all martial gods, and among them were two particularly powerful elders who had already reached the mid-stage of martial god.The two leading figures radiated the most imposing aura. One wore a purple crown while the other had a thick beard and piercing, sinister eyes."Where's Lysander? What happened to him?" the bearded man demanded."He's dead," Chase replied indifferently."What?! Who dares to kill him?!" The bearded man erupted in rage, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Chase.The other warriors were equally shocked. Lysander, an early-stage m
Lysander's body trembled as he gathered all the martial god energy within him, channeling it into his legs. He unleashed a flurry of kicks, each imbued with the force of his energy.At that moment, Lysander appeared like a masterful fighter. His movements were sharp and relentless.Each kick was faster than the last, and every punch carried a force that could shatter mountains as it slammed into the wild tiger's abdomen.The tiger howled in pain as its massive body slid several feet to the side. Its stomach was dented and bleeding profusely.However, Lysander's situation deteriorated rapidly. His body was drenched in blood, and his injuries became critical.The tiger lunged again, its jaws clamping down on Lysander's shoulder with a sickening crunch. Bones shattered, and blood sprayed in all directions, soaking his clothes."Help me!" Lysander cried out desperately."Run! Just run!" shouted the remaining martial artists who had not gotten far.The scene resembled a nightmare, l
The next day, Chase continued his journey.Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently. In Chase's line of sight, a massive tiger-leopard hybrid came barreling toward him, its enormous paws smashing trees into splinters as it charged forward.This beast was akin to a martial god-level wild tiger, with a hulking frame, fur as tough as iron, and an aura radiating intense negative energy.The wild tiger let out a deafening roar. Its soundwaves reverberated in all directions, shaking the earth and instilling sheer terror in anyone who heard it."Damn it! That beast is back again!" a young martial artist cursed through gritted teeth.His left arm hung limp, shattered, and his chest bore a gruesome gash. He had nearly died from the tiger's earlier attack."Run! If we don't run now, we're dead!"The remaining five or six young martial artists turned and fled in panic.This wild tiger's strength was overwhelmingly powerful. Even elite martial god-level warriors would avoid a direct
The giant ape's massive club swept through the air, creating a terrifying gust that caused the crowns of nearby ancient trees to tremble violently.Meanwhile, Chase executed the techniques of his secret codex with agile movements. His figure flashed like lightning as he dodged the attack with precision.He surged forward without hesitation and delivered a fierce punch directly to the ape's abdomen.This strike was even more powerful than before, twisting the ape's intestines into a mess and splattering blood across the ground.The giant ape howled in anguish, thrashing wildly in an attempt to shake off its pain.Out of the corner of his eye, Chase noticed a crimson serpent coiled nearby. It slithered sinuously, measuring around ten feet long, with a body that released a pungent stench.The snake's cold, piercing gaze was fixed on Chase. It emanated a chilling sense of oppression. Its forked tongue flicked out menacingly as it launched itself at him.Chase's expression hardened.
The massive ape spread its enormous wings that spanned 25 feet in width, creating a dark shadow that blocked out the sunlight like two great black clouds.The ape let out a deafening bellow, a primal roar that resonated with the ferocity of an ancient beast.In an instant, the surrounding area—nearly 300 feet in radius—was swept by fierce winds. Sand whirled through the air, grass was uprooted, and trees swayed violently as their branches rattled and leaves scattered.The air was heavy with a menacing energy."A monster!" Chase muttered, narrowing his eyes as he took a defensive stance.The aura emanating from this creature was suffocating, its strength comparable to that of a martial god at its peak."Perfect! Let this serve as a lesson to all those fools that I'm not someone to be trifled with!"Chase launched himself forward without hesitation, closing the distance with the towering beast.His fist collided with the air, creating a sharp sonic boom that reverberated through
A sharp blade appeared in Chase's hand.This was a spiritual artifact named Azure Edge, forged by a renowned swordsmith after considerable expense and effort.A flash of cold light swept across, instantly felling over a dozen ghostly creatures.They stood no chance against Chase's strikes. Their throats were slit, and their heads separated cleanly from their bodies.A crimson crystal dropped into Chase's palm.It appeared unremarkable at first glance, but it contained a thick, viscous vitality and was more potent than ordinary blood. A faint spiritual essence seemed to pulse within it, emanating an almost sentient energy."Is this a ghost crystal?" Chase's eyes lit up with excitement.He immediately sat down cross-legged, focusing on restoring his depleted vitality.Within his core, his Sea of True Energy roiled and churned. Vitality surged as waves of energy coursed through his bloodstream, refining his muscles and bones."This ghost crystal is incredible. It's allowing my bo
