Chase was stunned. He did not expect that Vinny would suddenly mention him.“Master Collins?”Only Edward’s expression changed, and he suddenly exclaimed, “You mean the one who was recently rumored to have killed a martial artist with one punch and was also able to control thunder?”Edward’s father was the owner of Triumph Hotel, so he would often entertain many big shots in South River City. Therefore, he had also heard the rumors about Master Collins.“That’s right.”Vinny smiled contemptuously and said, “My master is here to deal with him this time.”“Vinny, I heard that Master Collins can control thunder. Can Master Rock defeat him?” Edward asked with disbelief.“Control thunder?”Vinny scoffed disdainfully. “Those are just rumors. How can a mortal have the power to control thunder?”“That’s what I thought.” Edward nodded in agreement and complimented, “Vinny, we'll make sure to witness how brave Master Rock is in a while.”“Sure, it’s a blessing to be able to see my mast
Norman opened his eyes slowly and said, “Don’t worry, John. Everything will be fine with me around.”“That’s good. Go ahead,” John said, hardly suppressing his excitement.Everyone thought Norman would go onto the arena in a cool way. He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the arena. He did not show any skills at all.The crowd, including Edward and his group, let out disappointed sounds.When Vinny saw this, he awkwardly explained, “My master has always kept a low profile.”“I get it. After all, he’s an expert. He sees no need to put on performative displays,” Edward quickly said.“That’s right. The more he acts that way, the more we'll think Master Rock is enigmatic and impossible to predict. That other guy in the arena can’t compare to Master Rock," Raymond and Anna chimed in too.Eventually, Vinny felt better.He peered at Chase coldly and said coldly, “Kid, watch closely. Watch how powerful my master is.”“I’m watching,” Chase said in amusement.Vinny huff
Carter’s punch broke Norman's teeth, causing Norman to spit out his blood and his teeth.When Carter was about to punch for the third time, Norman fell to his knees and pleaded, “Stop punching me! I admit defeat.”Immediately, the crowd plunged into silence.Everyone was looking at the scene in the arena with stunned looks on their faces.Vinny, Edward, and the group were also petrified.Was that the famous Master Rock? Was he truly that weak?Carter reached out to grab Norman's wrist and scolded him, “You don’t know martial arts at all! It’s such a pity that I used to admire you so much.”“You’re right, I don’t know martial arts.” Norman could not pretend anymore and came clean. “I… The reason I got so popular was because I hired people to put on an act.”After he said that, the audience inhaled sharply. They all thought they had heard him wrongly.After all that, this alleged master was actually just an actor.At that moment, the jaws of Edward, Raymond, and Anna dropped.
Master Farley?When the audience saw what the Harrigans did, they all turned their heads to the entrance of the stadium.A middle-aged man in a black outfit and cloth shoes had appeared unbeknownst to them.The man was like an ancient tree. He did not exude any vital energy and looked very ordinary.However, a lot of the martial artists’ pupils contracted when they looked at each other.They had no idea when this man appeared.As martial artists, they should be very sensitive to the fluctuations of vital energy. By right, nothing should escape them.However, the middle-aged man seemed to appear out of thin air, so it was a huge shock to them.He was a master!A true master!“Hmm?”A hint of shock appeared in Chase’s eyes when his gaze landed on the middle-aged man.This was the first time he met a true master after he came out.While everyone was watching, the middle-aged man put his hands behind his back and took a step forward. In the blink of an eye, he teleported five
The Supreme Elder of the Harrigans? The look on William’s face changed.He had an impression of the Harrigans having a Supreme Elder, but that man had been gone for many years to travel the world and cultivate. News of him was rare.Most people, including William, had thought he had gone off to live the life of a priest.William did not expect him to have nurtured such a formidable disciple!Bob flashed an intimidating look at him and said, “I heard that the Coopers were recently associated with a Master Collins. It’s because of him that the Coopers are able to exert pressure on the Harrigans and even kill my junior, Tony.“Sir, the Coopers have never done anything to oppress the Harrigans. As for your junior’s death…” William’s eye twitched as he tried to explain.Bob chuckled and interrupted him. “I don’t care about the grudge between you. I’m giving the Coopers a chance right now. Hand over Master Collins and pledge your loyalty to the Harrigans. Do that, and I’ll spare you
Vinny was shocked to see Chase standing up. He burst out saying, “What are you doing? They’re asking for Master Collins, who's helping the Coopers. Not you!”“I am Master Collins.” Chase smiled calmly and started to walk up the stage.“Is there something wrong with him, Edward? He really believes he’s Master Collins,” Anna and Raymond said, wide-eyed.Edward was shocked as well. However, he later sniggered.Chase must have suffered a hard blow to the head to think that he would be able to pull off pretending to be Master Collins!Who did he think Master Collins was? He was someone whom the Coopers pledged allegiance to and a man whom the Harrigans feared.Rumor had it that he was not only a martial genius, but he could also control thunder and lightning. He was no different than God.Chase was just an ignorant young man. He could never attain such achievements even if he started training since he was in his mother’s womb.Carol tugged at the corner of Chase’s shirt. Her pretty
“I’ve cultivated my entire life to achieve only inner strength. How am I supposed to save him?”Amos sighed.Ann was in despair.She had no idea what to tell Quinn if anything happened to Chase. She would have to live with this guilt.In the seats not far from the arena was a middle-aged man in a suit. He pointed at Chase and exclaimed, “Reggie, look at that guy. Isn’t he Chase Collins?”The two men next to him quickly looked up with incredulous looks on their faces.“It really is him. Is he crazy?”“I heard that Quinn had an argument with him. Is he trying to kill himself because he’s depressed about it?” Those three men were Quinn’s Uncle Reggie and other core Norris family members.Meanwhile, in the Harrigans’ seats, John was staring at Chase.Could this young man really be Master Collins?Those who had seen Chase before said, “Mr. John, isn’t that Chase Collins, the person who had an argument with Mr. Huey?” “Are you sure?” John’s face fell.“It’s definitely him.”“
“That young man is Master Collins? How is that possible?”John stood up suddenly from his seat as his eyes stared hard at Chase.The Harrigans behind him, who had seen Chase before, were in shock.They had investigated Chase when he and Huey had an altercation. They had confirmed that he was a country bumpkin who had just arrived at South River City.That was why they did not think much of Chase. They never suspected him even after Huey's death.However, reality had told them that the country bumpkin they did not pay heed to was Master Collins himself.They could not accept it.“Chase Collins, Master Collins!!!”John’s eyes turned red. There was a savage expression on his face as he roared, “They’re both called Collins and are close to the Coopers. I should've realized this. I should've!“Collins, you bastard. You shouldn’t have revealed yourself.“I don’t care if you’re Master Collins or the survivor of Green Hills Orphanage, you’re dead today!“Your head will be mine. I’ll
The blood mist gradually dissipated, revealing Chase's figure.Chase was slightly startled. He noticed that his skin was now covered in a faint golden layer of scales, resembling a suit of golden armor.These golden scales were not just protective layers; they felt more like a natural armor embedded into his body.He raised his hand and touched them. They were as hard as iron, with a faint metallic gleam shimmering under the light.Standing still, Chase let the wind blow past him. His clothes fluttered wildly.In the next moment, Chase stretched out his arms, exuding a terrifying destructive power as though a dragon had emerged from the sea.He slammed into the rock wall with full force, causing the stone surface to shatter and crack apart."This… This is the Supreme Technique!"Chase stood dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe. "I… I actually cultivated the Supreme Technique? The legendary Supreme Technique!"The Supreme Technique was the pinnacle of martial arts, an incred
The sight before him was astonishing. This figure had actually knocked him to the ground! It was beyond belief.Chase cast the man a cold, indifferent glance but said nothing. He turned and walked deeper into the valley.As he ventured further, the patterns etched into the mountain walls grew increasingly intricate and mysterious, with ripples of glowing light flowing through them."There's definitely something unusual here," Chase muttered to himself while nodding slightly.His eyes landed on a carved totem on the rock face. It was a ferocious and menacing Wolf King Totem.Suddenly, the totem came to life!The Wolf King opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, sending sound waves rippling through the air. Caught off guard, Chase coughed up blood on the spot."What the hell is this thing?" he exclaimed as his expression changed dramatically. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hastily retreated.Two Wolf King Totems peeled themselves from the wall. They ex
Chase had a guess about it. He pushed open the stone door and strode in, his eyes widening at the sight before him.He saw a great cliff that was thousands of feet high. It was full of numerous images and wordings carved into it. It looked quite a mess and he could remember nothing on it at a glance.Chase also distinctly sensed a thick wave of heaven and earth's vitality in this vast and open land."Huh? The vitality waves seem to contain an ancient yet weary aura."Chase was surprised.He crouched down next to the cliff to take a closer look."These wordings seem to be an ancient language. Could it be a type of ancient script?" Chase frowned.Ancient script?Chase gave this further thought.He reached out to pat the cliff in an attempt to find out if there were any treasures hidden within it.However, this cliff was as solid as steel. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to leave any marks on it."If I'm not able to destroy this cliff, I should just leave."Chase si
He had overlooked something. This Blood Demon Bead was too big.Even though his physique was strong, this Blood Demon Bead was too big for him to absorb."Should I give up just like that?" Chase hesitated.However, he soon shook his head. This was a rare treasure that could help enhance the power of a martial god, after all.It would be a pity if he gave up just like that."Let's try it one more time!"Chase clenched his teeth and continued channeling his skills as he absorbed the energy within the Blood Demon Bead madly.He spat out blood. His face was pale and his lips were black. His aura was dying.There was lethal poison within the Blood Demon Bead. One would die after consuming it."Oh no!"Chase was frightened.He thought that the energy within the Blood Demon Bead was massive enough to give him great help. However, it was now proven that he had underestimated how lethal the poison was in the bead."This can't continue. I have to stop cultivating or my life will be i
That information was like a wake-up call for Chase. It touched the deepest desire and hope in his heart.Martial artists were like a grain of sand between heaven and earth. The rules of heaven and earth were like the vast sea. Anyone who wanted to enter the sea could only do so by riding a boat. All Chase wanted was to board one.Unfortunately, he was not qualified to do so.The only way for him to break through the barrier was to jump out of the boat to be qualified as a rowboat that could travel the world on the vast sea.Chase was overwhelmed as his blood boiled with excitement."My physical strength has achieved the mass strength of eight thousand pounds, but it's still not a truly strong physique. I won't be able to fight powerful enemies with this shell of a body. The only way is to cultivate Battle Physique for me to become a truly powerful martial artist!"It's not only the Battle Physique, my swordsmanship must also enhance. Otherwise, I won't be able to use my full powe
"What do you want me to do?" Cora asked."I want you to help me find something called a Blood Demon Bead. It can be easily found if we pay attention."Chase stared at Cora and asked, "Can you promise me that, Cora?"The look on Cora's face changed when she heard this. She slowly replied, "Alright. I'll help you search for it… But if that item is too valuable, I…""Don't worry." Chase shook his head.Cora hesitated before agreeing to it, "Well… Alright." Chase had saved her, after all. It was only right of her to return the favor.Moreover, she felt that Chase's injury could only be healed with the Blood Demon Bead, which was why she did not reject his request."I'll be going off now. Be… Be careful. Those people won't let you get away so easily," Cora reminded him.Chase nodded.Cora turned to leave after that and she entered deep into the dense forest.Chase waited until Cora left.A strange smile appeared on Chase's face.He pretended to pass out just now to lure the ma
He laughed excitedly. "My plan can finally go on without a hitch!"The man in black quickly turned to leave after that and he disappeared into the night.He reappeared thousands of miles away not long after.He was heaving as his face turned red. There was a savage yet vicious glint in his eyes. "Chase Collins, I'll get my revenge for what happened today."The man took out a healing pill and swallowed it to recover from his injuries before continuing to move forward.Not long after, the man in black was shocked."Damn it!"He clenched his teeth. "Could it be possible that he has already recovered from his injuries?"At this thought, the man's heart skipped a beat. He could not help looking up at the sky.It was dark right now. Only the Big Dipper could be seen hanging in the sky as it shone softly.The man felt an infinite crisis in his heart at that moment. A chill went down his spine as he was filled with dread.He was astounded."No matter who you are, I'll find you and
"Huh?"He was suddenly stunned.Where was the Blood Demon Bead?The man in black looked around and could not spot the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Bead."What's going on? What happened to the Blood Demon Bead?" The man in black's expression stiffened. He could not understand what was going on.He had seen Chase holding the Blood Demon Bead and let down his guard. He wanted to use the opportunity to grab it. How did it vanish in the blink of an eye? Chase had to be hiding something.At this thought, the look in the man's eyes turned sinister.He stared at Chase and asked, "What did you do to the Blood Demon Bead?" Chase shook his head coldly and did not explain. All he did was stand up slowly. His right hand clenched tight as he suddenly launched an attack.The man in black flew off and landed half-kneeling on the ground. There was blood at the corner of his lips, and his face was pale."You… How is this possible? Weren't you seriously injured?"His eyes widened with disbe
Chase said nothing.He had already noticed how the man in black got even more powerful after using his mystical technique."I'll kill that woman first!"The man laughed sinisterly as he raised his arm to slap right at Cora."No…" Cora howled dejectedly as she shut her eyes. However, the pain she was expecting did not come. Instead, she felt a cool air around her. She opened her eyes to see Chase standing in front of her. He reached out his arm to stop the slap from the man in black.This slap was extremely powerful as it contained raging strength.If it were some other person, their bones would have been broken. However, Chase's arm remained unhurt. His muscles swelled and it took the man's attack head-on."How did you do that?" The man's eyes widened."You talk too much." Chase shook his head and sighed. A look of pity appeared in his eyes as he stepped forward to press his hand down hard on the man.There was a loud bang. The man fell hard to the ground from Chase hitting do
