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
"I know I'm not your match," Ford said, bowing his head. "So, I willingly admit defeat. But I still want to see the Holy Path with my own eyes. That is why... I'm making this shameless request."His explanation actually made sense.Chase and the others already knew that Sky Dragon Holy Land was founded by the dragons who had ascended from the lower realm. It was not difficult to believe that they had the secret techniques needed to transmit battle footage.It also meant that all the rumors about Chase being a mysterious hidden expert were probably a joke among the major Holy Lands and sects. At least, among those sects that had close ties with Sky Dragon Holy Land, they probably already knew about Chase's true strength.Maybe all the Saints and Saintesses who had shown up at this little tournament in Light Divine City were actually here just to test Chase's abilities.Realizing this, Chase chuckled quietly and said, "Of course, you can come along, Ford. But first, I have to actual
After stepping down from the stage, Chase did not waste any time on unnecessary words.He quickly avoided the crowd of onlookers who acted like crazed fans and returned to the reserved inn room with Willow and the others."Tomorrow, your opponent will be the Saint of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford," Walter said excitedly."They say Sky Dragon Holy Land was established by the dragons who ascended from the fifth level. You thrashed the Lightning Dragon back on the fifth level the last time, so this time should be just as easy.""Where'd you get such reliable information?" Willow asked, feeling a little surprised.After all, with Walter's rather fearsome appearance—looking every bit like a bandit—most people would not want anything to do with him."I have dragon blood, remember?" Walter patted his chest proudly."Last time, after absorbing the Poison Dragon's core and a good amount of blood essence, the concentration of my dragon lineage became strong enough to catch Sky Dragon Holy La
On the main stage, Chase watched the sea of runes flying toward him. Suddenly, a spark of understanding struck him.He channeled his vital energy into the right index finger that had fused with the divine bone. Recalling the sword manual techniques, streaks of lightning-infused vital energy shot forth as sword energy.He moved his finger through the air, as if painting across the void. Each stroke unleashed a brilliant sword aura, razor-sharp and unstoppable, shattering everything in its path.Jade's rune barrage was broken apart one by one. Fragments of spiritual light and shattered runes drifted through the air.Every slash of Chase's sword aura was executed with such precision that not a single movement was wasted. The angles and trajectories were so perfect that each attack struck the runes at their most vulnerable points, maximizing impact.Among the spectators, only Carla, Fallon, and Ford—who had just rushed over—could truly appreciate the brilliance of his swordplay.More
"But the Light Divine Pearl is a creation-grade treasure. It's still only at the martial god level. It's far from being fully awakened," Fallon said with a frown.While the two spoke, Jade and Chase had already clashed head-on. Jade had unleashed her Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Countless ancient runes, shining with brilliance, shot out from the light screen behind her. Each rune faintly contained the essence of martial arts, distorting the space as they passed.If one's cultivation was insufficient, one's mind and soul would likely be shaken first, followed by one's body being pierced by the runes.As the rain of runes blasted toward Chase like a raging storm, the spectators below gasped as they were finally witnessing a truly grand spectacle.Willow and the others were awed by the sheer momentum of Jade's ultimate move. Although they knew Chase would not be harmed, they could not help but feel anxious."Can Chase block it?" Lisa asked worriedly while glancing at Willow."My mast
Jade gritted her teeth as she gathered all her vital energy, preparing to unleash her ultimate move. It was the very origin of her title—Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Behind her, a vital energy screen spread open like a peacock fanning its tail.The surface was covered with intricate patterns, resembling the eye-like spots on a peacock's feathers.These patterns were not mere decorations. Each one was an ancient rune, capable of releasing a devastating vital energy attack.When Jade unleashed this move, everyone below gasped in shock."No way, this is just a friendly tournament match. Does Jade really need to go this far?""Should we reinforce the arena's defensive array? I'm afraid someone might get caught in the crossfire.""Tsk, tsk, it's been so long since we last saw Jade lose her temper. She's even more stunning when she is angry!""You're such a pervert. If you get hit by that move, there will not even be a corpse left of you!""You don't understand. There are worse ways t
Inside Universal Holy Land, Clive and his master were facing off against the woman suspected to be the Dark Divine Pearl. Meanwhile, at Light Divine City, Chase's fourth round at the tournament's semifinals had already begun.His opponent was Jade, the Saintess of Modest Lady Holy Land, also known as Thousand Eyes and Flowers.It was already extremely rare for two contestants with such a rare same surname to appear in the same tournament. They belonged to different factions yet both were advancing to the final few rounds. Not to mention, if Yara had revealed his phoenix bloodline and inheritance, he might have very well made it to the finals too.The people with the surname Fries were terrifying beyond words!These were the thoughts running through Chase's head for no particular reason. On the other hand, after Jade saluted, she launched her attack without hesitation.Chase, still a bit distracted, was startled by the ferocity of her strike. Such a name and demeanor, paired with
Skyler spoke proudly.Clive kept having the feeling that something did not seem right when he heard Skyler's words."The Holy Path will only open after winning the tournament championship. Only those selected by the champion can enter. I was already eliminated in the second round…" Clive stammered."Won't you become the champion after killing the current champion? Isn't killing Chase Collins what you want to do?" Skyler was frustrated with Clive.Clive finally realized what felt wrong about all of this."You're not Skyler," he said coldly.The Universal Element Priest had also locked down on Skyler with his vital energy at this point. "Reveal yourself. Who are you? What did you do to Skyler?""Oh? How did you know?" Skyler was taken aback but quickly calmed down and asked the question. "What's wrong with my charisma and appearance?"He looked at his body and clothes while asking the questions with curiosity and calmness. This person had admitted to pretending to be Skyler."Fir
"His will is a blur." Clive sounded helpless when he added, "But it's a will that is extremely frightening and evil."He had the right to this opinion as someone who had faced Klondike directly.When Klondike's will was directed at him, Clive could feel unlimited fear and helplessness. Any second more of facing Klondike might make him lose his mind.He could barely take the energy pumped into him. He only managed to get through it because of his guilt for Rania and his desire to live.The thought of begging Klondike was equivalent to seeing death.There was one reason why he was brave enough to talk about Klondike with the Universal Element Priest and Skyler. It was because Klondike was in a stage of being half awake and half asleep. Clive only dared to discuss Klondike when he was asleep.However, speaking of anything that crossed the line would attract his attention, and Clive was not willing to see that happen.The Universal Element Priest and Skyler glanced at each other. The
Both of those disciples thought they could see Skyler lose his temper, but he reacted calmly. The attempts to fan the situation seemed to have failed. Had they lost credibility with Skyler for their misguided actions?They broke into a cold sweat from fear.Those disciples had offended the previous and current Saints. It looked like they had just made life tougher for themselves.They glanced at each other and gave a long sigh.…Inside Universal Element Palace, Clive had placed Rania down on a training mat while he knelt in front of his master, the Universal Element Priest. "Master, please save Rania North. I'm willing to pay any price without regrets!"He spoke with great determination, and there was a grim look on his face."Silly boy." The Universal Element Priest glanced at Clive and sighed."Rania North seems to have been poisoned by a vicious curse and an extraterritorial poison. I can temporarily save her life, but her face…" He shook his head."I'm grateful enough that
