"What do you need me to help you with?""You don't need to be in a hurry to reject me. If you agree to it, you can leave this place anytime once this issue has been settled. Also, you'll be compensated slightly," Chase said."Compensated?" Claude was taken aback."That's right. I'll help you elevate your cultivation," Chase said calmly. "Your cultivation has been completely destroyed, and you need to cultivate to stage five martial lord immediately to recover. Otherwise, you'll end up a useless man for life!""That's impossible!" Claude shook his head. He knew how difficult it was to cultivate a technique, much less achieve a breakthrough to stage five martial lord in a short time."You have no choice. You can choose to reject my offer, which means I'll kill you right now. Otherwise, you can only do what I say."You should know how deadly the poison inside a Pulse Crushing Pill is after taking it. You won't be able to bear it."Pulse Crushing Pills were a common poison that coul
Chase took out a few medicinal herbs and flung them at Claude."Do what I say. Otherwise, you're dead," Chase said coldly.Claude lowered his head and said nothing. There was a long silence. "I can help you, but you have to tell me how you're going to make me stronger," Claude looked up and asked with a savage look on his face."Back then, the last pavilion master died when his life essence was exhausted before he could become a martial arts overlord. He died right at the moment he was about to achieve a breakthrough to martial arts overlord. "I can help you achieve the state of martial arts overlord. As for how much you're able to elevate your cultivation, it would depend on you," Chase said calmly."Alright. I agree to help you," Claude nodded.Chase reached out his right index finger and drew in the air. A drop of blood flew out and shot right into Claude's forehead.Claude immediately felt a sharp pain in his head. It felt like something had shot into his brain. It was the
The middle-aged man in white was taken aback. He could not help asking, "Mr. Collins, are you planning on refining pills?""That's right. Don't worry. I won't cheat or lie since I'm here to work with the Night Pavilion. I'm not the kind of person who abuses my power to bully the weak," Chase said seriously.The man felt his heart sink when he heard Chase. His face turned cold as he said grimly to Chase, "THe Night Pavilion is an assassin organization. We would never do something like that. Are you here to see certain death?"Chase raised an eyebrow. "I'm not the kind of rich party boy who enjoys making up stories."The man's expression changed, and there was a flash of murder in his eye.Chase was not bothered to waste time talking to him and swung his hand. The man in white was instantly hit and flew into the air. His chest collapsed, and several of his ribs were broken. He fell to the ground and passed out."I don't have a great temper, and I kill easily. Don't try to anger me,
Chase looked at them coldly. He raised his leg and swept at them with a kick.Screams of pain were heard everywhere. The guards flew away from the impact of the kick. They slammed on the wall and coughed up blood.It took only a few seconds for the guards to be killed. They did not even have the time to react, but it was nothing to Chase.Chase clapped his hands and looked at the middle-aged man in white who was trembling. "Are you leaving, or do you want me to send you off?"The man knelt on the ground and said while crying, "Have mercy, Mr. Collins! I won't repeat this mistake. Please let me live…"Chase raised his hand and slapped him twice. "Remember my name. I'm Chase Collins. From now onward, if you dare disrespect me, you'll pay with your life! Get lost."Chase waved him off, and the man in white felt pardoned. He quickly got up and ran off. Any slower and he might be killed."Now that I'm back, I need some money to spend. I bet the Night Pavilion has lots of valuable thi
"I told you this has nothing to do with you. Get out!" Rouge's expression suddenly changed, and she glared viciously at the muscled man.The muscled man's expression stiffened. He opened his mouth but said nothing. He left silently."Hmph! You should know better!"Chase grunted coldly. It scared Rouge, making her turn pale. She could not stop shuddering as she quickly knelt to the ground. "Please forgive me, Mr. Collins!""Tell me who's the pavilion master of the Night Pavilion!" Chase said coldly, his tone quite intimidating.Rouge clenched her teeth. "Mr. Collins, you offended Capital City's Webers when you killed all their people. They'll come to you for revenge. Why not join the Night Pavilion? With capabilities like yours, we can help keep you safe from assassination attempts.""The Webers?" Chase broke out with a laugh. "The Webers can't do anything to me!"He gave a wave of his hand while he spoke, and some pills appeared on the table."Take them and bring me to see your
"That's nothing!"Chase focused as he counter-attacked with his palm. Powerful inner strength came shooting out.The old man flew backward at the impact and crashed into a row of tables and chairs. He held his hand to his chest and coughed a few times. He was stunned as he looked at Chase and was overwhelmed by shock.It was only one move, and he could already tell Chase's cultivation. He was a peak martial lord!This cultivation level was enough for him to suffer a loss!The old man took a deep breath, and there was a cautious look on his face. "Who are you? Why are you poking into the Night Pavilion's business?""I want to destroy the Night Pavilion and find the mastermind behind you!" Chase said coldly."How arrogant of you! The Night Pavilion has been here for centuries. You can't destroy us with just one word.""Cut the crap. If death is what you choose, I'll make your wish come true!"Chase launched an attack right away. He moved like lightning and appeared in front of t
Chase frowned. "Cut the crap and tell me the answer."The muscular man sniggered and said, "If you're interested, I can let you have a look, but let me finish my work first."Chase knew that he was being played for a fool again.However, he did not lose his temper. He smiled instead and said, "If you're busy, we can chat another day."Chase turned to leave after that."Hah! Mr. Collins, you're quite a reasonable man," the man said in a low voice. He immediately buried his head into his documents and focused on scribbling once more.Chase left the study and prepared to return to his house."Huh?"He suddenly sensed danger.Chase stopped walking immediately and looked around him warily. The next moment, he heard a chilling and eerie laugh. It sent chills down one's spine."Hehehe… The pavilion master must have mentioned that I'm the Night Pavilion's top assassin, Death Hunter!"A few masked men dressed in black rushed toward Chase at lightning speed right after he heard the vo
"No! I don't want to die!"The pitiful screams echoed on the empty streets, scaring many passersby.Chase stared coldly at them. "You should've known how you'd end up if you chose to join the Night Pavilion."Not only did they rob commoners, but they even slaughtered villages!Chase had a bad impression of the Night Pavilion. If it were not for the sake of Capital City's security, he would have destroyed the Night Pavilion and stopped their evil acts.The purple flames cracked and formed a huge lotus shape. It enveloped all the men in black.Their screaming suddenly stopped. When the purple flames vanished, the ground was filled with corpses. That was when noises could be heard coming from afar."Huh? What's that?""I think a fight just happened over there.""Come on, let's go take a look!"It was not long before dozens of passersby came crowding. They saw Chase standing among the corpses nonchalantly. They looked at each other.Was there a problem with this young man?Was
"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
