Chase was about to choke once more as he snapped frantically, “That’s enough, Myra.”His sisters were the only ones who could joke about this with him.“Tsk, tsk…"Myra looked at him in astonishment. She had made a new discovery. “It’s so rare for men to be virgins nowadays.”“Myra, are you implying you have much experience?” Chase asked back, feeling furious with embarrassment.“No!”Myra answered honestly, “I’ve never dated anyone before, and I’ve never been pursued by any men.”“Why?” Chase was shocked.Myra could be described as drop-dead gorgeous with her looks and figure.How was it possible that she did not have any pursuers?Myra giggled evilly, “It’s because when I was in the military with my foster father, I defeated a man who weighed 200 pounds. Since then, my bad reputation has spread far and wide. After that, no one has ever dared to take a fancy to me again.”Chase was speechless.This woman was a little wild.No ordinary man would dare to marry such a woman,
“I’m a little hungry. I should hunt for something to eat.”Chase started looking for his prey in the forest as he said that.On the other side of the hunting area, an elderly man dressed in traditional attire and a woman in a black uniform stopped simultaneously.Behind them was an extremely fit bodyguard.“Grandpa, why did you bring me here?” the woman asked with a frown.She had a gorgeous face. However, because of her martial arts background, she looked capable.“Luna, didn't you always blame me for not allowing you to fight outsiders and wanting to venture into the world?“So, I'll test you today.”The old man bent down, picked up a pebble from the ground, and handed it to her. After that, he said, “If you can hit a moving prey with this pebble and bring it back to me, it'll mean you’ve completed your apprenticeship. I can let you go out in peace.”“That’s easy. I just need to use the right technique,” Luna said dismissively.“Really?”The old man took a gun from the bod
“Luna, no!”The old man’s expression changed when he saw what his granddaughter had done. Immediately, he tried to stop her.One had to know that Luna had been the apprentice of a martial arts master since childhood. Moreover, she was very talented and became a late hidden strength master at a young age.Normally, eight or even ten men would be no match for her, yet now she decided to take action against a young man. If she was not careful, she might kill him. However, by the time he had finished speaking, Luna had already approached Chase. Just as she was about to touch Chase, a cold smile spread across Luna's lips. ‘How dare you steal my pheasant, you rascal!’ she thought to herself.However, her expression changed the next moment. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.She noticed that she could not touch Chase at all. It was as if there was an invisible wall of air between them.“What’s going on?” Luna could hardly believe it. Normally, she could penetrate a sandbag w
She thought Chase was average, but unexpectedly, she could not fight back when she was faced with him!Ethan took a deep breath and said, “He's extraordinary. If I’m not wrong, he might be a true master of martial arts.”“What? A true master of martial arts?” Luna’s expression changed.“Sir, check out that pheasant,” the bodyguard suddenly exclaimed.Luna and Ethan quickly looked over and saw that there were no wounds on the pheasant at all. Instead, its heart had concaved.“Luna, do you see that? This isn't the one you injured. You wrongfully accused him.” Ethan sighed.Luna’s face quickly turned red.After Ethan looked at the abnormality of the pheasant’s heart, he shook his head and said, “This pheasant might have been shot down by a blast of energy from afar. It seems my previous guess was correct—the person is indeed a true master of martial arts.”“I was so dumb!”Luna stomped her feet in regret.How could she offend a true master of martial arts?If she had befriended
When she thought about this, Iris turned to look at him again.The more she looked at him, the more she realized how handsome Chase was. He had distinct, angular features and a remarkably attractive and refined demeanor.She muttered to herself, “This guy isn't that annoying.”“Are you staring at me, woman?” Chase asked, his eyes closed.Iris stammered like a bunny who had been stepped on, “N-No.”“Stop denying it.”Chase’s eyes were still closed. “You looked at me 20 times in five minutes. The longest glance even lasted ten seconds.“Do you have a crush on me?”Iris’ face turned red, and she snapped in embarrassment, “Who has a crush on you? Stop being so delusional. I'd date a pig before I date you.”Chase opened his eyes and looked at her in bewilderment. “How did you even get the idea of dating a pig? I guess it’s real when they say that people in the military are extremely desperate.“Are you really that desperate?”“You… You…” Iris almost died from anger. She wanted to
“Maybe he has some skills, but we don’t know how much about him.” Inferno chuckled. “I heard he’s even younger than us. He’s just a kid who’s still wet behind the ears. He thinks he can boss us around?”“He wants to boss us around, huh? Sure, but he has to beat me first,” Thunder said, waving his big fist.“You guys...” Finn felt a throbbing in his head when he saw their expressions. However, there was nothing he could do.At this moment, the helicopter appeared above them.“He’s here.”Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up, including the listless Four Heavenly Kings.In the sky, Iris commanded, “Descend!”“Wait!” Chase said out of the blue.“What’s wrong?” Iris looked at him, puzzled.“How high are we from land?” Chase asked.“About 400 meters!” Iris estimated.“Go higher!” Chase said calmly.“What?”Iris was puzzled. “How are we going to descend if we go higher?”“Just do as I say.”Although Iris did not understand what he wanted to do, she still asked
After Chase jumped from a thousand-meter altitude, his body plummeted toward the ground in free fall like a meteor.Iris felt a mixture of anger and anxiety. There was a look of despair on her face. She did not understand why Chase would suddenly do this.Meanwhile, the people on the ground were in an uproar.“Are my eyes deceiving me? Did someone just jump out of the helicopter?”“Did someone fall accidentally?”With Chase’s rapid descent, the crowd finally saw his face.“It’s Chief Inspector Collins!” Finn screamed, his face turning pale.“What? That’s the new chief inspector? Why did he jump?”“Do you think he’s trying to kill himself because he knows we'll never submit to him?”“That... That’s not possible, right?”At this moment, everyone gasped in disbelief. They were unable to trust their eyes.The Four Heavenly Kings looked at each other. At this moment, they could see confusion in each other’s eyes.This new chief inspector was playing by his own rules.Chase drew
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to step up.Chase’s smile turned cold. “What’s wrong? No one wants to step up?“I didn’t expect Basalt to be filled with cowards. You don’t even have the guts to step up!“Well, I guess I’ve overestimated all of you!”There was a huge commotion over this comment as everyone was angered by it.It was fine to call them useless, but it was not acceptable to insult Basalt.That was because they held Basalt in very high regard, and the organization was more important than their lives.A huge, muscled man stood out from the crowd and sneered as he said, “Listen, Collins. My name is Deacon Erwing. I’m the first person who isn’t impressed with you. What are you going to do about it?”“Wow!”“You’re awesome!”Everyone began cheering.The look on Iris' and Finn’s faces changed. “Deacon, you…”Deacon was just a normal member of Basalt. It was brazen of him to step forward and speak that way to the chief instructor.Chase put up his hand
After all, Chase had to bring Yara along if they were really going to the Holy Path.Chase would not be able to hide it from them then. It was better to be honest with them from the start."What? He needed something from you? Will he come over to see you tonight?" Willow's question had Lisa and Walter exchanging a glance.Chase had no idea how to respond. "What are you thinking, Willow? Sweep those dirty thoughts out of your mind."He berated Willow.Willow realized what she had just said and quickly apologized. "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask what you meant by him needing your help."Chase sighed. "To put it in a nutshell, Yara has phoenix bloodline and requires the Light Divine Pearl's help to receive the Rising powers of the Phoenix Deity. He knows that I have hope of getting the Light Divine Pearl, which is why he came to me."Willow and Walter were stunned."The Phoenix Deity? Isn't that one of the Five Major Demon Saints who holds the same standing as th
"An old acquaintance?" There was murder in Carla's eyes."It's someone from long ago. I thought she was dead. I didn't expect her to still be alive, or rather, this could be her descendant." Fallon's mind moved quickly as he tried to squeeze any excuse he could from his mind."Why haven't I heard you talk about this old acquaintance before?" Carla was suspicious. However, Fallon had never lied to her before. At least, she had never caught him lying before. She was not entirely sure if he was telling lies right now."You know how the Nefarious Deity Sect would sometimes discover unique and powerful monsters whenever we visualize Nefarious Spirits or tame dark beasts. Yara Fries looks very much like a human-form monster I discovered with phoenix bloodline."She refused to bow down to me. Since I could not have her, I killed her. I was not as powerful then, and I had a hard time trying to kill her. I was relegated to using despicable methods in the fight. That's why I… lost my calm whe
However, the rules did not state that fighters were not allowed to admit defeat, which was why the referee ruled that Chase had won.Most elites in the spectators did not know the Fries family well, but they still came forward to ask about the fight. Some of them went off to watch other fights with a sorry look or a look of disdain on their face.Carla, who was seated at the very top, said, "Interesting.""Why would you say that?"Fallon, who had been looking forward to watching a descendant of the Phoenix Deity in action, was feeling upset about the outcome. He asked the question when he heard Carla's comment."They were putting up an act," Carla said with a smile."Huh? Wouldn't that be rigging a fight? What are you smiling about?" Fallon felt angrier after hearing her explanation. He was the one in charge of the tournament, and they were rigging a fight right under his nose. That was disrespectful to the city lord."Didn't he organize this tournament to find out more about thi
"Huh. I didn't expect you to know so much." Yara was surprised."Of course, I know stuff." Chase felt a little proud about it but quickly said, "You should hurry up. There are a lot of people waiting out there.""Alright. I'll make it quick."The Holy Path is a relic of the calamity years ago. As for the ninth level, it was created by the Light Divine Pearl to protect himself by fusing pieces of the world collected from every corner of the universe."Currently, the Holy Path on the sixth level leads directly to the sealed location where the Light Divine Pearl's true form is. The Light Divine Pearl's image projection on the ninth level is where he is able to use most of his powers."Something happened while he was fusing the ninth level. The maximum cultivations on each level are different, and the Light Divine Pearl's image projection is unable to merge with his true form."That's why he used the body refinement of the Divine Order's Flame to leave a mark on you to help you pass t
"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
