Chase looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man and a woman walking toward him with a look of surprise on their faces.It was Elena and Kevin. Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they looked at him. Chase had beat up Waylon’s son, Jordan, at the Dynasty Club last night.They thought Chase was done for, so they left early without even hesitating.However, they did not expect Chase to not only be unharmed but also show up at the Ancient Medicine Hall unscathed.“Chase, y-you’re fine!” Elena bit her lip in disbelief.She felt a little guilty. Her cousin asked her to take care of Chase, but she ran away with Kevin the night before, leaving Chase behind. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me,” Chase replied indifferently. Elena could not help but ask, “Chase, can you tell me how you managed to get Jordan to spare you?”“No.” With that said, Chase walked away, showing no interest in continuing the conversation with them.Elena frowned, feeling somewhat displeased. Sh
Waylon ignored Jerry. After nodding to Chase, he turned and said to the old man on the main seat, “Mr. Gunther, this is Master Collins, the man I recommended to you just now.”The old man was sitting in a wheelchair, his face sickly pale. It seemed as if every breath was a challenge for him.He was Brad, the owner of the Ancient Medicine Hall and the Medicine King of Rochester. At the same time, he was also the auctioneer for this auction.Brad looked at Chase and frowned. “Are you sure this little boy can cure me?”Waylon was a little skeptical too, but he still braced himself and said, “Mr. Gunther, Master Collins knows medicine, so why not let him try?”He then looked at Chase and said, “I believe you know Mr. Gunther’s condition, right? Are you confident about this?”While Chase was about to say something, Jerry scoffed and said, “Mr. Gunther, he looks like he’s still in his diapers. How can he know medicine? Don’t be fooled.”“Mr. Jerry is right. There are a lot of people p
After Chase slapped him, Brad felt his brain buzz as if he had been struck by thunder.He was completely stunned.Everyone at the scene was also shocked by the slap.Damn, was he crazy? He was asked to cure Brad, but instead, he slapped him! They all had the same thought.Waylon came back to his senses before the others and shuddered. Immediately, his face turned white.Brad was the owner of the Ancient Medicine Hall and also the Medicine King of Rochester. A lot of big shots owed him favors, and even the Gilligans had to show him respect.Chase's farce had completely enraged him.Not only that, Waylon would also get dragged into this.Finally, Brad’s subordinate came back to his senses and yelled, “What do you think you’re doing?!”Chase lifted his hand again as if he did not hear the guy and slapped Brad on the head again.He hit Brad harder this time, the sound was loud and clear.Waylon thought, ‘Damn! He did it again!’He was about to cry.He started yelling interna
Jerry was the first to protest, “Mr. Gunther! The Centennial Blood Root belongs to the Gilligans! We'll do anything if you give it to us. Please reconsider.”“Mr. Gunther, I'm also after the Centennial Blood Root. I'm willing to buy it for one billion dollars.”“Mr. Gunther…”The others also clamored with their offers. They did not want to fall behind. Brad had to admit that he was tempted by their enticing proposals. However, when he met Chase's half-smile, he could only shake his head and say, “Everyone, I'm a man of my word. Since I’ve promised him, I must fulfill it.”At that moment, Woody came back with a sandalwood box. “It’s yours now, Doctor.” Brad handed the sandalwood box to Chase. Chase took it over and immediately opened the lid in front of everyone, revealing a blood-red herb root.When the crowd smelled the fragrance it emitted, they felt as if they had become ten years younger.Instantly, countless greedy eyes turned toward Chase.“Kid, you'll have a favor
The auction had ended when Chase walked out. The participants had mostly left as well.“Master Collins, wait.” Waylon ran after him with Warren.“Mr. Hayes, I'll still keep my promise. I'll find a time to treat Master Shoal’s injury,” Chase said.Waylon nodded and said, “Master Collins, let me walk you out.”“Are you sure you want to?” Chase said with a half smile.Waylon was about to nod when Warren stopped him by clearing his throat.His expression changed as he remembered something. Then, he chuckled shyly and said, “Master Collins, safe journey.”Chase nodded and left while under the two's watchful gaze.Not long after he left, Jaguar and Jerry ran out.“Hayes, where is that kid? Where is he?” Jaguar asked.“How would I know?” Waylon smirked.“You!”Jaguar was enraged but could only suppress his anger and run out with the rest of them.“Master Shoal, do you think Master Collins can leave unharmed?” Waylon asked in a deep voice.Warren coughed and said, “Mr. Hayes, you
The leader among the three men said, “Mr. Jerry, don’t worry. We'll definitely take back the Centennial Blood Root.”“Kill him!”With a ferocious roar, Jaguar made the first move. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Chase.“Go to hell!” The punch he threw from his long arm felt like an avalanche as it went straight at Chase’s head.It was clear that he was a peak strength-dissolving master.Moreover, he also exposed his lineage.The Eight Extreme Fists!The Eight Extreme Fists was renowned as the fiercest and most formidable move in Bactria. It was even said that the Eight Extremes could determine the universe.However, Chase did not move and waited for the punch.Instead of his head bursting open, Chase’s head knocked back Jaguar’s fist like it was made of iron. Jaguar was then sent flying back several meters due to the powerful force. When he finally stabled himself, he was extremely shocked. “Why is your head so hard?”If one looked closer, one would noti
Jaguar’s skin started to crawl when he saw Chase charging toward them. He quickly said, “Master Collins, this is all a misunderstanding. I'll leave right now, and I swear I'll never go against you ever again.”It was rumored that Master Collins had killed a peak meridian-opening master, while Jaguar was just a peak strength-dissolving master. How was he a match for Chance?Therefore, he tried to retreat and hoped Chase would spare him.“Too late.”After Chase said that, he did not stop in his tracks. His clothes fluttered in the wind as he headed toward Jaguar.Jaguar staggered backward in fear. His expression turned dark as he barked at Max and the others, “Guys, we'll die if we don’t join forces now!”“Agreed.”Max’s expression grew serious. After he found out Chase’s identity, he dispelled any sense of disdain he had previously harbored.“Let’s kill him together!”The eyes of the three martial artists from the Gilligans turned icy.As their auras erupted, the group no long
Chase successfully killed a meridian-opening master with just one move.When Jaguar and the three martial artists saw this, their expressions froze. Soon, horror started appearing on their faces.“How is this possible? How is that kid so powerful?” Jerry, who was watching from a distance, yelled. His expression was menacing.Once Jaguar came back to his senses, he started sweating. Then, he lifted his foot and ran away as fast as he could.“We have to run!”“That kid is too powerful! If I stay here, I'll surely die!”“No one can escape from me.” Chase shook his head.He did not chase after them. Instead, he inhaled, making his stomach bulge. The next moment, he exhaled.A gust of white air that was the size of his face escaped his lips. It chased after Jaguar, who was about ten steps away, immediately exploding him into a bloody mist.The three martial artists shook when they saw this. “D-Did he just kill Jaguar with his breath?”It was said that all true masters of martial a
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen
"History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t
Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni
Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b
"Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he
Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c
Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
