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
Chase left Joe's room after giving him the warning. He released his consciousness and found Trek at a training ground. Chase moved in a flash and appeared right in front of Trek.Trek was not the only one there. Chase's disciples, Finn and Iris, were there as well."What are you doing here, Basalt's Collins? You should've called me to receive you," Trek said to Chase after snapping out of his astonishment at Chase's appearance."Greetings, Master!"Finn and Iris both greeted Chase respectfully.Chase did not waste time saying anything. He gave Trek all the remaining pills."What are these?"Trek looked at the pill bottles in his hand questioningly."These are pills prepared for new members of Basalt. They're called Cleansing Pills and Mighty Pills. That's all I can tell you about them for now. You can reward the Basalt members accordingly."Trek was delighted to hear that.He had been feeling troubled about figuring out a proper reward to encourage new members, and Chase had
"I'll take you for a driving test to get your license one day. Now, get me two drivers here with licenses.""Two? Basalt's Collins, don't you have… Umm… Alright, I'll get them now."Trek was taken aback at first but quickly realized that Chase did not have a license either.Chase felt embarrassed to see Trek realize it as well."Well, you know how we always fly everywhere. There's no need for us to drive," Chase started explaining.Trek had an understanding look on his face. He was about to leave to get drivers with licenses."Master, actually… Both of us have licenses," Finn spoke up while trying his best not to laugh.That was when Chase remembered that his disciples were watching all of this from the side."Both of you have driving licenses?"Finn and Iris nodded."Good. Both of you know Myra too. Let's go. You can each drive a car. You don't need to do anything else today except to be my drivers."There was no reason for them to object to Chase's orders.It was not long
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
