Chapter 17

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
“Don’t worry. We won’t say a thing about it. Hurry up and tell us.”

Everyone pushed for the story.

Anna sniggered and said, “I heard that when Mr. Chalk was interviewing him, Mr. Collins, who's here on an unofficial visit, saw how he was being picked on. Mr. Collins was enraged and called Miss Lawson about it. After that, Mr. Chalk was given a good scolding.”

Realization dawned upon Edward. “I knew it. Why else would Uncle Harrison look at me like I’m the enemy and say that I almost got him into trouble? The newly appointed Mr. Collins saw everything.”

“Riley, did you hear that? This isn't my fault. That rascal just got lucky.”

“He should count his lucky stars.” Riley looked terribly upset.

Edward consoled her, saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll find a reason to fire him.”

It was soon after work, and Edward needed to negotiate a contract. He suggested bringing along Riley and the others for a learning experience.

Chase did not plan to go, but as Riley was going, he had to tag along. Af

    “Where exactly could you be?”Bianca clenched her teeth and said with tears in her eyes, “If you can save my grandpa, I'd be willing to take care of you and serve you for life.” Her phone suddenly rang. She quickly picked it up. “How… How is it Hounddog Creed? Have you found him?”“I’ve found him, Miss Cooper. He said for you to go to Room 802 of the Royal Capital Hotel to apologize to him personally, “ the man quickly told her.Bianca was not mad and instead cried out with joy when she heard this. “Good, good. This is good news.“Prepare the car. I’m going to the Royal Capital Hotel right now!”In Room 802 of the Royal Capital Hotel, there was a large, round glass table inside the room that was covered with luxurious food. There were also many bottles of branded alcohol.Edward, who was in a suit, raised his glass of wine to a middle-aged man not far from him. “Mr. Chapman, this is a toast for you. Thank you for honoring us with your presence. Cheers to you.”Before Mr. Chapm

    Everyone turned to look at the door and saw a young man walking in with his hands in his pockets.“Chase Collins?”Edward and the others exclaimed in surprise.Riley was delighted to hear someone speak up for her, a little touched even.“Who the hell is this guy? How dare you poke your nose into my business?” Daniel stared at Chase coldly.Chase said nothing. He went to Riley and pulled her protectively behind his back.After that, he picked up a liquor bottle on the table and smashed it into Daniel’s head without another word. “How dare you touch my woman?”“Argh!!!”Daniel screamed and quickly covered his head with his hands. Blood trickled through his fingers.Riley and the others were stunned to see this. Next, their expressions were replaced with fear.Daniel was the general manager of Emgrand Group, and Chase had wounded him.This was bad news!Daniel held his hand in his hands and roared, “How dare you hit me, you lowlife?! I guarantee you that you'll pay terribly fo

    The more she talked about it, the angrier she got. In the end, tears of resentment fell down her cheek.Chase looked at her in disappointment, but he still smiled as he said, “What if I refuse to apologize?”Riley almost went crazy with his answer. She took a deep breath and said coldly, “Then you should get out of here. I never want to see you again.”She thought Chase would regret what he said when she said those words and apologize to Daniel.However, Chase did not seem to be affected. All he did was shrug and say, “Alright. I’ll leave.”Chase turned to walk out after that. He was decisive about it.Riley was stunned. She felt a little bad about it as Chase had stood up for her, after all.However, the thought of the trouble he caused wiped out all her feelings of guilt, and they were replaced by anger instead.Edward immediately approached Daniel and groveled, “Mr. Chapman, Chase Collins is the one who hurt you. It has nothing to do with the rest of us.”“That’s right, Mr.

    “Alright. I’ll help you on account of your sincerity,” Chase said nonchalantly.“Thank you, Miracle Doctor!” Bianca was crying tears of happiness as she invited him into the car.Riley, Edward, and the others happened to walk out of the hotel at the same time. They were also shocked to see the 18 Rolls-Royces parked outside.They were especially shocked to see so many important figures huddled around a young man as they respectfully invited him into the car.After Chase got inside the car, all 18 of the Rolls-Royces turned around and sped off while everyone looked on in amazement.Anna suddenly exclaimed with a look of disbelief.She pointed at the 18 Rolls-Royces driving away and stammered, “Did you see the person in that car? Why… Why did he look a little like… Chase Collins?”Raymond also exclaimed after Anna said this, “My gosh. I didn’t realize it before you said anything, but I think he looked like Chase Collins too.”Riley and Edward quickly turned to look at the convoy

    Elijah was delighted to see Chase. He quickly went forward and lowered his stature at him ashamedly, “Greetings to you, Miracle Doctor!”The medical experts present looked shocked when they saw this.Elijah was a miracle doctor who was known all over South River City, but now, he was bowing to a younger man who was supposedly his junior.Chase nodded nonchalantly and began seriously checking the condition of Mr. Cooper, who was lying in bed.His face fell after a while. “Who allowed you to remove the silver needles from the old man?”He had left the seven silver needles in the elderly Mr. Cooper because they were supposed to help his condition should Chase decide to continue treating him. Who knew someone would remove them?Bianca stepped forward to take a look and turned pale. She quickly asked out loud, “Who did this?”She had specifically instructed them not to touch those seven needles that were pricked into her grandfather's skin.“It was me, Miss Cooper.” An old man with

    Chase did not hesitate. With a quiver of his arm, 13 silver needles shot out.13 silver needles were flung out by Chase, and they pierced precisely into Mr. Cooper’s 13 Ghost Acupoints, which included the Third Eye Acupoint, the Ghost Palace, the Ghost Cave, the Eye of the Ghost, and the Ghost Store.Spiritual energy began surging restless as it entered Mr. Cooper’s body.This was the miraculous effect of the 13 needles. They were able to guide the spiritual energy into a person’s body and create hope for life.While Chase was performing the technique, the weather suddenly changed outside the window. A shocking streak of lightning suddenly hit the Coopers’ villa despite the sunny day.This was because the 13 Needles of Hell’s Gate was a technique that went against nature’s order, and Chase’s actions defied it, which was why the lightning was a warning to him.Chase chose to ignore this as he continued infusing vital energy into the 13 needles in order to help Mr. Cooper absorb th

    “It doesn’t matter what it is because you're the one who saved me."William Cooper shook his head and said determinedly, “You’re the esteemed guest of the Coopers from this day onward. If there's anything you need, the Coopers will do everything they can to help you!“May I know your name, Miracle Doctor?”“It’s Collins. You can also call me the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate.”“Thank you, Dr. Collins.”William lowered his stature to Chase, and that was when he noticed the purple ring on Chase’s finger. A shocked look appeared on his face.It… It was the Dragon Soul Ring!Anyone who possessed the ring could control the four top financial conglomerates in Bactria!The Coopers may be an influential family in South River City, but they were nothing in Bactria.Even Bianca was looking at Chase with reddened eyes. “Thank you, Dr. Collins. Thank you for saving my grandfather.”Chase shook his head with a small smile.Suddenly, everyone heard a loud thud.They turned to look and saw

    Chase had just walked out of the room when Bianca frowned and said, “Are we being too generous, Grandpa? Even though Dr. Collins cured you, one million would be enough for even the best doctor in the country, yet you gave him 50 million.”“What insolence!”William’s eyes narrowed. “Do you mean to say that my life is only worth a million?”“That’s not what I meant, Grandpa…” Bianca tried to explain.William shook his head and asked, “Do you know what I saw on him?”Before Bianca could ask further, he took a deep breath and said slowly, “I saw the Dragon Soul Ring on him!”“What? The Dragon Soul Ring?” Bianca exclaimed with a shocked look on her face.She was the eldest daughter of the Coopers and was aware of information not privy to ordinary people.The Dragon Soul Ring, for example, was a symbol of the owner of the four top financial conglomerates. Anyone possessing it could control those conglomerates and was in control of trillions in fortune.Bactria’s richest man or even

    Chase furrowed his brows as he got lost deep in thought. "Could it be that the demonic race never truly perished but instead went into hiding, secretly passing down this forbidden art? First, I need to fully understand the Devouring Sky Demon Art before investigating that secret."With that decision made, Chase immediately began his closed-door training.Once cultivated to its peak, the Devouring Sky Demon Art could consume souls and refine them into demonic puppets with terrifying combat power.For Chase, this technique was a perfect match. "Devouring Sky Demon Art, First Layer!"With a single thought, new information flooded his mind.This was the fundamental incantation of the technique—nothing too obscure. After a quick review, Chase grasped it with ease.He extended his finger, allowing a drop of blood essence to fall onto the purple skull emblem.In an instant, blinding crimson light erupted from the emblem. It trembled violently, letting out sharp, anguished wails, as if

    In just a matter of moments, the androgynous young man was dead. His corpse lay motionless amid the blood-soaked ground.His final curses and hatred meant nothing to Chase, who remained indifferent and showed no reaction.Chase withdrew his hand with a calm expression. Every strike he delivered was absolute—he never left his enemies a chance to recover."This technique of his is rather unique. It absorbs the life essence of others to enhance one's own power." Chase rubbed his chin, lost in thought."Unfortunately, it has a fatal flaw. The more one absorbs, the stronger the backlash. If not controlled properly, the user ultimately loses themselves, becoming neither human nor ghost."He sighed inwardly."This sinister martial art must have been created by a powerful demonic sect figure. It's a flawed version, but it's still highly dangerous. If left unchecked, it could bring disaster to the world."A chilling glint flashed through Chase's eyes. Demonic arts were forbidden as they

    The moment the words left his mouth, the androgynous young man lunged at Chase with a dagger in hand. He closed the distance between them at an alarming speed.In an instant, his energy surged, and the aura radiating from his body grew even more intense.This was the power of a stage-nine martial god!"Hah! You dare act so arrogantly in front of me? One hand is all I need to deal with you. Now, let me show you my strength!"Chase sneered, extending a single hand toward the approaching, black-robed young man."An ant trying to stop a giant?"The young man smirked. He flicked his wrist, sending his dagger slicing through the air while gleaming coldly.The dagger struck the back of Chase's hand, but instead of cutting through, it shattered on impact, producing a metallic ringing sound.The young man stumbled backward, his face twisted in shock."How… How is this possible?"His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Chase, who remained completely unharmed. His skin was untouch

    "Regardless, this demon beast's corpse is incredibly valuable. Whether it's the demon core, demon blood, or even its tendons and bones, all can be refined into powerful weapons."Chase licked the corner of his lips.A demon core was the essence of an innate demon beast, brimming with potent lifeblood energy.Meanwhile, demon blood was the condensed essence of the beast's body, holding immense power. If used for cultivation, it could accelerate training speed multiple times over. Not only that, demon blood also had the astonishing ability to purify impurities within the body."This demon beast is a treasure trove. If I hunt one and sell it, I could make an absolute fortune."Chase licked his lips once more, making up his mind. Under the cover of night, he would launch a sneak attack on this powerful demon beast lord.Besides, since this demon had lived in the valley for so long, it was likely a native of the area.If Chase wanted to explore the valley, clashing with these creatur

    'My body is strong, but it still has its limits. If I can absorb some Blood Vein Ginthera, I should be able to enhance my physical strength!' Chase thought.If his physique could undergo a transformation and reach martial nirvana, what would happen then?A martial nirvana-level martial artist possessed a reborn body. Their skin itself could serve as armor, and a single punch could shatter steel. They could even withstand direct attacks from spiritual artifacts, making them nearly indestructible.If he could strengthen his body just a bit more, he would be able to practice martial nirvana techniques and unleash their full might with just a simple movement. He would be capable of destroying mountains and rivers in an instant."Blood Vein Ginthera is indeed a great option for tempering the body, but with my current level, I need to at least reach the martial nirvana realm before I can withstand its medicinal power. Otherwise, consuming it would cause my body to collapse instantly."S

    A chilling aura crept over Chase, sending shivers down his spine.The little monkey that had been lazily basking in the sun atop the vine suddenly sprang up in alarm, bolting away as fast as it could.Chase grinned. "Relax. I'm just passing through!"However, before he could finish speaking, a sharp cry pierced the air.A black eagle swooped down, landing on Chase's shoulder. Its piercing gaze locked onto the monkey, and it let out a warning growl from deep within its throat.The monkey was not particularly large, but its body was covered in black scales, giving it an eerie, sinister appearance. Its head was somewhat grotesque, and its scarlet-red eyes were filled with hostility as it glared at Chase."A little beast like this… Could it be a guardian of some hidden treasure?" Chase murmured in surprise.Suddenly, the monkey darted from beneath the vine, leaping onto the branch of an ancient pine tree before vanishing into the depths of the forest.Chase froze.He had just been

    Chase spotted a thick vine wrapped around the tree trunk. The lightning strike had just severed it."What is that?" Chase's expression darkened with shock and uncertainty.The vine was at least three feet thick. Its entire body glowed a vibrant green, and its leaves trembled slightly, radiating a powerful life force.In an instant, a chilling gleam flashed toward him—sharp and deadly!Chase reacted quickly, his instincts kicking in. He bent his legs and launched a powerful backward kick toward the source of the attack.Pain shot through his foot as a sharp wound appeared on its surface, and blood trickled down.His eyes widened as he finally saw the creature behind the attack—a beast resembling an ape."You bastard! You actually think of me as prey?" Chase let out a cold snort. Clenching his right fist, he threw a punch at the monstrous ape.A dull, resounding impact sent the beast flying backward.However, the strike only enraged the ape. It let out a series of deafening roar

    At this stage of cultivation, advancing to each new realm required absorbing the soul essence of demonic or fierce beasts.Only the most powerful could condense a Nascent Soul. Yet even then, it remained bound within the void, unable to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth.Only those who reached the martial divine transformation realm could truly transcend these limits, traversing the void and exploring the vast universe.To break through these constraints, one had to refine a Demon Soul and fuse it with the Nascent Soul. Only then could they set foot on the path of true ascension.For ordinary warriors, even reaching midway martial arts overlord status placed them far above the rest. They gained extended lifespans, living well beyond a century.If a warrior refined their Martial Soul to its peak, its terrifying power would be beyond imagination."I still have a long way to go before I can condense my Martial Soul… I wonder if this Demon Soul Orb can provide me with

    Illusions were essentially a type of special illusionary realm, and like all things, they varied in strength.Weaker illusions were ineffective against warriors unless the master of the illusion was vastly superior in cultivation. Only then could they manipulate a warrior's perception to the point of deception."Miss, I didn't mean to ambush you. I was forced into this situation due to unforeseen circumstances. I hope you can forgive me."Chase withdrew his imposing aura and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.The woman in the purple dress stood a distance away. Her face was slightly pale, her lips were chapped, and her breathing was uneven. Sweat beaded on her forehead."Hmph! Consider yourself lucky. We're leaving!"She let out a cold snort, tossing a ring to the ground before turning away and departing swiftly. A faint blush spread across her delicate features, and her tattered robes barely concealed the color of her undergarments beneath.Moments ago, she had employed
