“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
Chase and Deacon had arrived at the shooting range while deciding who would go first.Every Basalt member followed them and they stood at the side to watch the upcoming competition between them.Iris, who was the judge, said, “Each of you will be given six bullets. After you’ve finished shooting, we’ll decide the winner by the most accurate hits.“Are there further questions about this?” She could not help glancing at Chase.“So, all I need to do is to shoot all six bullets in the bullseye?” Chase asked.Everyone found this statement quite arrogant.He was just a beginner. It would be lucky enough for him to even hit the target, much less have all six bullets shot right in the bullseye. What was he thinking?Iris gave an angry laugh. “Yes. You’ll get points as long as you hit the target, but it’s best that you get the bullseye. It’s a ten-ring bullseye.”Chase nodded.Iris turned to Deacon when she saw that Chase had no other questions. “You can start.”“Wait.”Deacon sudden
"Castiel can only rely on his own luck now. Ivana, we should leave," Turk, the white-robed man, sighed."I suppose there's no other choice," Ivana replied, casting one last glance in the direction Chase had flown. There was a hint of reluctance in her expression.In the end, she activated her movement technique and soared away.Turk had been paying close attention to Ivana. When he noticed the lingering look in her eyes as she gazed after Chase, his expression darkened, though his thoughts remained unreadable.Once Ivana had taken flight, Turk flicked his fingers, sending a small black sphere rolling into the cave before he turned and departed.Not long after, Chase reappeared."Interesting," he mused, watching the direction Ivana and Turk had gone. A smirk played on his lips.With his heightened spiritual awareness, his perception far surpassed others of his level. The two stage-three martial god weaklings were nothing to him.After confirming that they had truly left, he step
Four black tentacles shot out from the cave, heading straight for the four of them.The boorish man, still reeling from his earlier clash with Chase, had no time to react before the tentacles wrapped around him. He let out a series of agonized screams as he was dragged into the depths of the cave.The white-robed man and the woman in purple stood farther away and managed to dodge the attack, their figures flashing as they leaped to safety.Chase, however, remained in place, completely entangled by the tentacles.The white-robed man halted, initially showing concern for the boorish man being captured. But upon seeing Chase ensnared as well, his expression shifted to delight. He assumed the beast would eliminate this troublesome opponent for him.Yet despite the tentacles stretching taut, Chase remained utterly unmoved. It was as if he had taken root in the ground.Feeling the strength of the tentacles, he realized they were far more powerful than those that had restrained the boor
What?!Chase felt incredulous.He dodged the attack and retreated about three feet away."What is this?!" Chase asked."Did you release monsters into this cave?" the woman in purple yelled angrily with her sword raised in the air."Monsters?" Chase glanced at the cave entrance in bewilderment. He saw a long, black tentacle appear from the cave as it reached out for the woman."Look out!" The two men behind the woman shouted as they defended her at the same time.Sword stances filled the air as the man in white helped the woman stop the tentacle. The boorish man picked up his blade and leaped into the air. He slashed down the back of the tentacle.Black-colored blood splattered onto a rock. Hissing sounds were heard coming from the plants as holes appeared in them due to the corrosion. There was lethal venom in the monster's blood.Chase was shocked to see this. The wailing he heard must have come from the monster. It looked quite powerful. He felt lucky about not entering the
Chase opened his eyes. His clothes had been wet but were now dry.He channeled his skills, and strength circulated him. He got rid of all impurities and felt invigorated.After that, he stopped using his skills and punched into the air using pure physical strength. He could vaguely hear the sound of a sonic boom.The effects of the Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill on body refinement were not bad at all. He estimated that he could achieve an upper level if he could take another three to five more pills.It seemed like a visit to the Nefarious Deity Sect was now inevitable.Chase turned to leave.Right after leaving, dark smoke began to billow from the middle-aged man's corpse, forming into a man. "Damn it. I can't believe I can only escape using Nefarious Deity Form. But I've managed to obtain your mind and soul's aura. The next time we meet, I'll make sure you'll suffer a fate worse than death. I won't let you die so easily."The man, who was in Nefarious Deity Form, began to glow green
The man was only at stage three, where each punch possessed a weight of 30,000 pounds.Besides that, as the Nefarious Deity Sect's signature fist technique, it possessed the Nefarious Deity Energy. It could invade the opponent's spirit and soul upon contact.It was also the perfect complement to the Nine Mirage Ecstasy.However, Chase seemed completely unaffected. He seemed to have managed to defend himself against that punch.The middle-aged man knew that he had lost all opportunity at survival when he failed to hurt Chase with the punch. He quickly maneuvered to defensive mode. Black smoke billowed from his body and formed into a protective armor around him."Nothing but a party trick!"Chase checked himself for any injuries caused by the man.Thirty thousand pounds worth of strength was nothing but a drizzle to him.As for the Nefarious Deity Energy and harm that came with it, Chase was now able to withstand the evil power after using the Thunderfruit Core to strengthen his
The middle-aged man was scared speechless after witnessing Chase brutally kill the muscled man. He kneeled right away to beg for his life."Please let me off! I still have Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill that's perfect for martial nirvanas to refine their physiques. It's what you need right now."Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?Chase frowned. He was aware that normal monsters and medical herbs did not have much effect on martial nirvanas who were also body refining cultivators.He knew that a Steel Dragon Tiger Pill was a unique profound-grade pill that was refined with an exclusive method that combined the Steel Technique with ingredients such as a dragon or tiger monster's inner core, dragon and tiger bones, and other rare supplements. It was refined using a special flame and required 49 days to complete. It could enhance one's physique tremendously.However, what was a Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?"What's the difference between your Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill and the Steel Dragon Tiger Pill?" C
There might only be a difference of one word between martial gods and martial nirvanas, but both were totally different concepts."Cut the crap! I'll show you the holy technique of the Nefarious Deity Sect!"The muscled man suddenly put his hands together, and a ghostly wail was heard echoing in the air. A savage spirit appeared. It was holding a rusty, iron sword in its hand. It was filled with a murderous rage as it lunged at Chase."Possession Technique?" Chase's eyes narrowed. He was not a stranger to such unorthodox techniques. He had even fought numerous people using such techniques."Die!" the man roared as he controlled the spirit. A black sword flash tore through the air as a chilling glint came slashing at Chase."That's nothing." Chase shook his head and flung out a silver needle.The silver needle shot through the air and went between the eyes of the spirit. Blood splattered instantly as the spirit's massive body evaporated. It formed into a wisp of green smoke and va
Chase had not gone far when he heard a furious roar. A dark figure lunged right at him for the kill.It was a ferocious black wolf that had fur as dark as ink and extremely sharp teeth."How dare a mere stage-four martial nirvana monster ambush me?" Chase grunted coldly and moved his arm. A bronze saber appeared in the air, and a slash was heard. Just like that, the wolf was sliced into two.The wolf was left with half a body. Its soul appeared from the other side of its body, and it vanished instantly."Huh? It still managed to escape?!" Chase frowned. The look on his face suddenly changed as he ran toward the valley.A loud explosion was suddenly heard. It was as deafening as an avalanche.He saw a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke appear in the air as stone and dust flew about. Numerous trees collapsed while bushes were flattened."Haha! I've finally caught you, you rat!" A sinister laugh was heard. A muscled man in armor walked out as he stared at Chase coldly. He had a huge bu
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
