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
Everyone witnessed Bob stumbling a few steps back after the smoke and dust dissipated. Chase was still standing in the same spot with a hand behind his back. He did not move at all.“Did Bob Farley just suffer a hit?”“How is that possible…”All martial artists present stood up in shock. There was a stunned look on all their faces.Bob was a peak meridian-opening master, but Chase was able to hold his own against Bob and even got the upper hand. That proved Chase was more powerful than Bob was.He steadied himself with an extremely upset look on his face. “You have quite a hand. It’s no wonder you act so arrogantly.”Bob suddenly broke into a wide smile. “I now announce the end of this warm-up session. Your luck ends here!“Now, let me give you a taste of the most powerful martial arts technique my master has passed down to me!”He roared, and the vigorous energy around him began to move fluidly. His physique immediately heightened five more feet into the air. His clothes wer
“It’s my turn to attack!”Chase’s demeanor changed the moment he said this.He was no longer the young man who kept his powers hidden. He now looked like an emperor looking down at his subjects whose lives were in his hands.Everything looked small under his gaze. His towering finger stood proud and tall under the starry sky.It looked like Chase was the most powerful man under the sky!Even Bob was intimidated by Chase to the extent that he subconsciously wanted to bow down to Chase.Chase took a step forward and said, “My intention is to slice you with a sword!”He used his finger as a blade and sliced hard through the air.A bright flash appeared shockingly from his finger, and it flew straight in Bob's direction.The flash was about ten feet long, and it broke the ground in half. It was a clean cut as the ground was smooth and flat. It looked like he was slicing a vegetable.“My gosh, what’s that?”“Was it caused by some impact?”The people below the stage were still re
The world became silent so silent that everyone could hear a pin drop.Everyone’s gaze was focused on the proud figure standing in the arena.That figure stood tall like an emperor who held power over all the lands. It was a simple figure, but it was powerful enough to earn everyone’s respect.This recognition made everyone feel agitated.Most of them had thought that Chase would not be Bob’s match. He was too young, after all.However, the arrogant Bob had died in Chase's hands, and he had even begged for mercy before he died.What was true power?This was true power!Bianca stared at Chase with infatuation in her eyes.He was such a powerful man!The silence quickly broke with an exclamation, “Wow, Mr. Collins is incredible!”Carol, who was below the stage, gently patted her voluptuous bosom. Her cheeks were red, and she looked agitated.Vinny, Edward, and the others sitting next to her were all silent.They were now looking at Chase with shock, incredulity, respect, but
Chase stood alone in the arena with a stoic expression. “Clear the scene, Mr. Cooper.”“Yes, Master Collins!”William understood his intentions. He quickly turned to everyone below the stage. “Besides the five elite families, everyone else should leave.”The place was soon empty. Even Vinny, Edward, and the others were gone.Only Chase and the five elite families were left in the stadium.John seemed to notice something. He quivered violently and coughed up a lot of blood.“The Harrigans…”Chase walked down from the arena and approached the Harrigans slowly. “I bet you never dreamed this was how you would end.”Every Harrigan but John was kneeling and begging for mercy.John knew that their reign was over and roared in resentment, “You bastard! What I regret most is not cleaning up that mess better all those years ago. I should've made sure that you burned to death. The Harrigans wouldn’t have ended up this way if it wasn’t for you.”“Are you sure about that?”A cold look fl
However, all three of them were now lowering their heads at Chase and treating him with utmost respect.Chase said without beating about the bush, “I only have one request for the Norrises, and that is for Quinn to continue leading the family. You need to assist her in every way you can. Do you have any problems with that?”“No, no, we don’t.” All three of them quickly shook their heads in fear of Chase misunderstanding them.Reginald said with great caution, “Don’t worry, Master Collins. We’ll hold a family meeting after we get back to nominate Quinn as the matriarch of the Norrises.”“Very good. No one in South City City will dare touch the Norrises,” Chase said as he nodded. One sentence from him was enough for Reginald and his brothers to get emotional.A subordinate of the Coopers in charge of watching the doors came over and said respectfully, “There are four people out there asking to see you, Mr. Collins. The one leading them is a man called Edward Wright.”“It’s them?” C
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
The sinister and moist aura became stronger. Chase could even detect the rotting stench of dead bodies in the aura."Could there be more than one dead body buried in this place?" Chase contemplated this, but it did not bother him too much as victory was the only thing crucial to him.He leaped into the dark. Chase would come to some crossroads along the way, but he chose to keep going straight. The path led him underground.He had stepped into the tunnel for less than 15 minutes when he caught the sound of fighting. It did not come from outside but from below.He was puzzled and quietly snuck over.There was a loud bang, which was followed by the clanging of weapons.A massive dark shadow was on all fours in the middle of the underground palace covered in rubble. It had four limbs and a huge head. It had terrifying teeth and sharp claws while its back was covered with dark scales.It was crouching, and its red eyes looked vicious and violent. It could lunge forward and eat some
"Damn it!"Chase was enraged. He growled while madly absorbing the pure vitality and heaven and earth's spiritual energy from all around him.He sat down with great pain. He put his hands together to guide the vitality to condense it into lightning form.Purple lightning struck suddenly, tearing through the air and wrapping around the golden light.Chase's forehead was covered in sweat, and his entire body stiffened."This thing is tough to deal with. Why is it so hard to absorb it?" Chase clenched his teeth. The golden light contained incredibly powerful energy."I don't believe that you can take this."There was a cold look in Chase's eye. Thick veins throbbed all over him while limitless energy poured from within his body and into his hands. The energy gathered in his arms.The Might of Thunder and Lightning was an extremely powerful attack technique that was unbeatable.Chase was relieved to see the lightning and light vanish. Even though this was a powerful move, it exhau
"It's a voodoo bug!"The look on Chase's face changed. He instantly realized what it was and quickly waved his arms to release a raging wave of strength that caused numerous trees around him to fall.A swarm of green bugs, with each the size of a thumb, emerged in hordes. They were like swarms of locusts that filled up every space in the air.Massive sword flashes instantly sliced through them, and the bugs were crushed to dust. However, Chase had disturbed other ferocious beasts laying low in the forest with this move.In an instant, piercing howls were heard.Various beasts and birds came lunging at him.Chase's expression turned dark. He formed into a shadow fragment as he dodged the attack of these animals.He did not choose to escape because he could sense many wild dark beasts in this area.Chase had to get used to being in battle mode.That was the only way he was able to get into the rhythm of fighting the enemy while slowly training himself to uncover a combat techniq
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
