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
Among the four of them, the one most comfortable with the situation had to be Enola.After all, she was a celebrity before this, so Enola was used to being stared at by the public. Such things became even more common for her after she joined the Melody Sect and turned from an ordinary woman to a top-notch martial artist.Enola was surprisingly comfortable in such a situation."Why don't we buy a piece of jewelry for Myra?"The idea popped into Enola's head when she saw the jewelry store, Sparkle Nine."That's a good idea. Let's head inside to have a look first."Hannah's eyes brightened as she pulled the three of them into the store before they said anything.When they entered the store, the group following behind them stopped as well. It was because they had just entered Sparkle Nine's main store.The main store only sold the most high-end jewelry. Common gold accessories were not found in this store. Every item sold in the store was worth unimaginable prices. Ordinary people
He was born a Brennan and did not care for ordinary women. Only the top-notch beauties in front of him could pique his interest.Drift ordered his driver to stop the car, and he followed them inside the store."It's no wonder he's arrogant enough to say such things. He's a Brennan.""Yeah. I heard that the Brennans treat him with high importance. They'll give him anything he asks for. He's probably the only person here who would dare try to buy the highlight of Sparkle Nine's store.""If he wanted to, he'd be able to buy all of Sparkle Nine without a problem. After all, he's from the Brennans, one of Capital City's Eight Influential Families!"Just as Drift had expected, there was a commotion among the crowd the moment he revealed his identity.This was what Drift wanted.When Nora heard that he was from Capital City's Brennans, she turned away from Hannah and the others and approached Drift instead."Welcome to Sparkle Nine, Mr. Brennan! Please forgive me for not recognizing y
Spark could not understand this until he spotted the four beautiful women led by Hannah. That was when realization dawned upon him.They were the source of all this. Drift wanted to show off in front of these beautiful women.Spark began to contemplate the situation and cautiously named a price to test the waters."Ten million!"His asking price shocked everyone who was crowded at the door."A necklace like that costs ten million? Spark Nogan must be crazy.""Yeah. He must have hiked up the asking price because he knows Drift Brennan is rich. Looks like Drift will be losing his temper."Everyone began talking about this.However, Drift did not lose his temper as expected and was instead quite generous."Alright, ten million it is. I'll take it."That was when the silent Hannah suddenly spoke up."Mr. Nogan, is this necklace worth ten million? I'll pay you an additional million. I'll pay you 11 million for it. Sell it to me."When Hannah said this, Spark was not the only one
Hannah's honest words were a shock to everyone who heard them."What? What did that pretty lady just say? Did I hear it wrong?""No, you didn't. She said that Drift Brennan isn't good enough to know her name, but that's Drift Brennan. He's the young heir to the Brennans, one of Capital City's Eight Influential Families. Yet that woman is flat-out ignoring him. Who exactly are those beautiful women?"Everyone was extremely shocked.It was especially so for Spark. That was when he realized that Drift, whom he had been trying hard to curry favor with, was no different than an ordinary man to these four beautiful women.Spark had years of experience dabbling in the business world and had developed a sharp eye for things.He noticed that the woman who spoke was not the only one who remained unperturbed. Even the other three women behind her stood calm after she spoke.They remained stoic.Spark came to his own conclusion. This woman was not lying, and it was likely that even the wom
"Where are you headed, Miss Jones? I can give you a lift."Drift was brazen enough to reach out for Hannah's dainty hand while speaking. He wanted to hold it.Hannah moved to the side to evade him."What do you want?""Hehe, what do I want? I just want to give you a lift home, but it's not only you. I can give all of you a lift home."He saw how Hannah had easily avoided his hand. However, Drift was unperturbed. He reached out his lecherous hand once more."Are you crazy? How could you do something like this in broad daylight? I can sue you for sexual harassment!"Hannah avoided him once more and spoke coldly to him."Sue me? Looks like you still don't understand just how powerful the Brennans are in Capital City. No one can control me here!" Drift told her arrogantly.When Hannah managed to evade him, Drift knew that she was a cultivator. Even though he could not sense her exact cultivation level, he guessed it was almost the same as his. She probably cultivated some skills m
All of them heard how Finn and Iris greeted them.Quinn was already used to it as she had heard even more intimate addresses.As for Olivia, Enola, and Hannah, they blushed from it.Chase quickly explained, "You can ignore them. They're used to saying ridiculous things. Let's get into the car first.""Alright."The three of them did not object as they headed straight toward the farthest car."Stop right there!"A voice roared out to them. Chase stopped in his steps and saw a man block in front of Hannah. Chase glanced at him and went to stand next to Hannah."Do you know this man, Hannah?""No, I don't." Hannah pouted slightly and indicated she did not know the man."Then, we'll just ignore him. Let's get into the car."Chase said as he held Hannah's hand. He opened the door for her while helping her into the car.Drift saw how he had been ignored. To think that he was prepared to spend ten million just to get her name. It was one thing to be ignored, it was another to see
"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
