Everyone’s expressions turned blank at Cyclone’s words.The shots were made 200 yards away!Not only did all five bullets hit the bullseye, but they were even shot precisely into the bullet hole!This was unbelievable!However, Chase managed to do it.This outcome shocked Deacon and all the others to the core.Chase had only just learned how to use the gun!This was quite clear at his first shot.Deacon was stunned. He kept mumbling, “How is this possible? How is this possible?”Finn and Iris were shocked as well, but their shock quickly turned to joy when this sank in.Chase had shut everyone up with his abilities.He looked at everyone’s expression and asked casually, “Did I win this competition?”“Yes. Yes, you did,” Iris nodded immediately as she replied.Chase looked at Deacon. “Are you convinced by my abilities now?” Deacon’s shoulders fell. He looked like he had suffered a huge blow.The next minute, he took a deep breath and knelt on one knee in front of Chase.
All four of them were meridian-opening masters and were halfway to becoming true masters of martial arts. They were also known as midway true masters!That was why Chase suppressed his cultivation to a midway true master as well.“Attack!” Cyclone was fully prepared to fight it out. His arms reached out, and his fists aimed straight for Chase’s main vertebra acupoint.The main vertebra acupoint was at a joint position on the spine. Hitting this acupoint could temporarily paralyze a person.Meanwhile, the other three were also giving their best in the fight. They came toward Chase in a swift attack.They had planned the attack well. As long as everyone attacked Chase from all sides, he would be at a loss as he would not know to defend himself in which direction.Chase did not panic. He took a light step forward and dealt a punch. The punch looked soft, but it was enough to blur Cyclone’s sight.It felt like the entire world was left with only Chase’s punch.Both their punches
The sky had turned dark.There was a glint in Chase’s eye while on his way back in the car.“Basalt is truly an organization that Bactria is heavily invested in. Anyone from Basalt is a powerhouse among powerhouses when they’re out there.“Take Deacon, the shooting genius, for example. If a war broke out, he would be able to take many lives. A true master of martial arts would also take a bullet from him in a moment of carelessness!“There are also the Four Heavenly Kings. These four people are excellent fighters and have good hearts and personalities. They'll definitely become true masters of martial arts if groomed well.”Chase nodded slightly and quietly promised himself, “I won't shame you now that you’ve chosen me, Basalt.“The day will come when I’ll make sure the name of Basalt is known all over the world. The name will strike fear in every country’s heart and elevate the formidability of Bactria!”…Chase soon returned to the villa the Kollins had given Myra. The mome
Chase walked out of his room.Myra’s pretty eyes lit up. She went forward to size him up and said, “You look good. You look really handsome. Your clothes fit really well, and they're just the right size.”He felt a little embarrassed by her praise, but she next said to him, “Too bad. I wonder which woman will be lucky enough to have you?”Chase was rendered speechless.Myra burst out with a laugh. She grabbed his arm and said, “Come on, my handsome Mr. Collins. Let’s head out to find some pretty ladies for you and get yourself a wife.” 20 minutes later, they arrived at the door of Camland’s biggest high-end hotel, the Platinum Hotel.Chase and Myra got out of the car. Sterling, Renee, and the rest had been waiting. They immediately approached Chase and Myra.Renee complained in a huff, “What took you so long? We’ve been waiting for a long time.”There was blatant jealousy in her eyes when she said this.It was because Myra was too beautiful today. Her charm and beauty had com
Myra felt a little reserved when faced with everyone’s gaze.It was because she knew that the young people here were elites of Camland’s influential families. She did not fit at all when it came to her background.Chase grabbed her hand tight and whispered in her ear, “Don’t be nervous, Myra. Just be yourself. This is your world tonight.”Myra’s heart warmed. She nodded gently and followed behind Sterling and the rest. She found her seat and sat down.“I’m going to the washroom,” Renee said and left without looking at them.Sterling went to the side and began chatting with people he knew.Everyone was waiting!They were all waiting for Vince to be here!The party was organized by him tonight. He was the man of the hour!As the most influential family in Camland, the Watersons were powerful enough to make everyone wait for them.Music began to play. Many young men and women began dancing on the dancefloor.Even so, most of the men were staring at Myra.If this were a normal
Renee wanted to tear Chase apart at the memory of how he had slapped her.…Downstairs, Chase had finished most of his food.He wiped his mouth and said to Myra, “Why isn’t Vince Waterson here yet? Maybe we should just leave.”Myra was about to say something when a hearty laugh was heard. “I’m sorry for being late, everyone.”Chase turned to look and saw a young man slowly walk out. He was in a white suit and had a limited-edition Rolex around his wrist.He was five foot nine and looked handsome. He had a nice, soothing voice and everyone began to perk up at his arrival.“Vince is here!”“You look great, Vince!”“May I have a dance, Vince?”Vince’s appearance had everyone nodding at him. There were even some women screaming in excitement.He smiled at everyone in return, and many women fell under the spell of his charm.Even Sterling came forward respectfully to greet him, “Vince!”“You’re here, Sterling. There’s no need for formalities when we’re the same age.”Vince smi
Everyone glanced at each other and smiled when they saw Vince and Chase shaking hands.Vince was a martial artist!Chase was about to have a very bad day.However, Myra looked calm. Anyone who looked closely at her would notice the pitiful look in her eyes reserved for Vince.Chase was a true master of martial arts. This was nothing to him.The look on Vince’s face turned a little complicated as everyone watched on. He looked to be in pain and shock, but mostly, he looked like he was trying to hold on to himself.He had wanted to give Chase a scare and embarrass him in public.Vince did not expect Chase to turn the tables on him and grip him hard instead. The force on Vince’s hand got painful by the minute.'How is he so strong? This is impossible. I’m a hidden strength martial artist!' Vince thought. He used every ounce of energy he had to grip Chase’s hand back.He was disappointed to find that no matter how much force he used, he was unable to make Chase flinch even a littl
The looks on many young women’s faces changed, especially Renee.It was because they were all Vince’s lovers.They had always thought that they were important to Vince, but they ended up being nothing in front of Myra.Renee was especially jealous.Myra Kollins!That slut! What right did she have to become the leader of Vince’s eight lovers?Myra did not expect Vince to be so despicable. Not only had he built a harem for himself, but he even wanted her to join his harem.She sniggered and said, “You should look for someone else to take care of your carnal desires because I find it disgusting, Vince!”“You dare reject me?!” Vince narrowed his eyes.“Why wouldn't she dare to reject you?”Chase spoke up, “You’re just a rich kid who’s fortunate to reap the benefits from your ancestors. You can live a better life than ordinary people because of that. Yet here you are making a big show of your eight lovers. Do you really think you’re some sort of king from ancient times?”“I am th
Chase squinted, and a flicker of intrigue crossed his face."Indeed," Achilles said coldly. "This Earth Vein Prison was crafted from rare minerals I personally excavated, materials used to forge supreme artifacts and array cores. You're already doomed.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow."I'll give you a chance to live," Achilles declared with hands clasped behind his back. "Tell me about the Collins family, and I might consider granting you a painless death."Chase responded with a faint smile and shook his head as if mocking the offer."What's so funny?" Achilles' brows furrowed, anger flashing in his eyes.Surveying his surroundings with a casual glance, Chase replied with a scornful tone, "This so-called Earth Vein Prison is hardly impressive.""You insolent whelp!" Achilles snarled, his anger erupting. "Since you've chosen death, I'll ensure it's delivered!"As his words fell, Achilles unleashed a massive palm strike from a distance, aimed directly at Chase.The devastating f
"No! You can't kill me! I'm a stage-five martial overlord, a direct elder of the Cooper family, and the Grand Elder of the clan!" Haldy screamed in terror.His face was pale as he watched Chase's sword energy pierce toward his brow. His fear was palpable, shaking him to his core.A blazing white light suddenly descended, accompanied by a surge of sword energy that roared like a dragon's tail, forcing Chase to retreat."Who's there?" Chase frowned, his sharp gaze locking onto a middle-aged man dressed in regal embroidered robes, standing in the distance with his hands clasped behind his back."Grand Ancestor, save me!" Haldy shrieked, his voice cracking. "Kill him! Kill this savage! End him!"The newcomer was none other than Achilles Cooper, the Grand Ancestor of the Secret Sect, the true mastermind."Silence." Achilles' rebuke was cold and commanding, silencing Haldy instantly. Then, his gaze shifted to Chase, his expression icy."Who are you to trespass here? Your crime is puni
Haldy let out a series of cold laughs, his mood visibly lifted. The dark cloud of Philip's death had entirely dissipated."Mr. Cooper, something terrible has happened!"A desperate scream rang out in the distance. A group of blood-soaked men in black staggered forward. Their faces were pale and their steps were unsteady."Hmm? What's going on?" Haldy frowned, momentarily taken aback."It's Chase! Chase is coming!"Blood sprayed into the air. The guard who had just spoken had his head burst apart.Haldy's expression darkened.The wailing and screams around him grew more intense, coming from all directions."Help!""Run!"Chaos erupted.By the time Haldy reacted, seven or eight of his guards had already been killed.As for Chase, he was approaching slowly but steadily, leaving carnage in his wake. Every blood-robed warrior he encountered was mercilessly slain."Chase!" Haldy roared in fury. "How dare you hunt down members of the Cooper family?! You're courting death!"Haldy
In the next instant, the void distorted. Space collapsed as if an invisible spider web stretched over the area, sealing it from all sides.A muffled explosion echoed as the blood-robed warriors were trapped, unable to move. No matter how they channeled their spiritual energy, it was futile. They simply could not break free from the spatial restraint."Mr. Collins..."Seeing Chase approach, the guards dropped to their knees with terror etched on their faces."Leave," Chase said coldly."Thank you for sparing our lives!"Relieved, the guards scrambled to their feet and fled the scene as quickly as they could.Chase shook his head.Philip's schemes were cunning and unfathomable. As for these guards, their strength was pitifully weak. Even if Chase stood still, they likely would not have been able to harm him.Still, he did not see the point in wasting energy on such small fries. With calm strides, Chase left the forest.Moments later, a group of guards rushed to the scene outsid
"So, the purpose of the Blood Vein Orb is to act as a seal," Chase murmured to himself."As long as I don't unlock the Martial Vein Shackles, Philip will never notice it. But… I'm not willing to waste this Blood Vein Orb."Chase sighed softly. Then, raising his hand, he pressed it against Philip's forehead, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy that instantly shattered the Blood Vein Orb's seal. At that moment, a burst of crimson light erupted.The center of Chase's brow gleamed with radiant purple light, annihilating every trace of the blood patterns.The crimson radiance dissipated, and Chase's appearance returned to normal, his aura surging stronger than ever. After this breakthrough, he could vaguely sense the barrier to stage eight of the body refinement stage and knew he was ready to break through at any moment."How can this be? This is impossible…" Philip trembled violently, and his face was pale as a sheet.He mumbled in disbelief, unable to accept that the Blood Vein
Chase spoke coldly, "Your so-called accomplishment just now was nothing more than a lie."Hearing this, Philip's pupils narrowed slightly. Suddenly, he threw his head back and laughed wildly. "Chase! I know you don't believe me. Fine, I'll tell you why I deceived you! It's because you don't deserve this pill!"Chase narrowed his eyes, staying silent.Philip continued, "This pill was something I spent three days and nights refining, all for the sole purpose of making you lead the way!"As his words echoed, Philip's eyes turned crimson with malice as he glared at Chase with boundless hatred."I hate you to the core! If only I could eat your flesh and drink your blood! Once you're dead, I can enjoy this precious pill all by myself! Ha! Chase, did you think someone as worthless as you deserved Quinn? She'll abandon you sooner or later!" Philip cackled madly.He was certain Chase would explode in fury, even kill him to vent his anger."Are you done?" Chase's calm, icy voice suddenly
The weapons carried by these individuals were crafted from first-grade Black Iron, which was capable of withstanding ordinary attacks. Among the guards, the two black-robed men at the forefront had reached the formidable level of stage-seven martial monarch."You little pest, you've caused enough trouble!" sneered the black-robed martial monarch on the left, his eyes glinting with greed."You've slaughtered so many of the Dark Blood Guards. Today, even if you escape to the heavens, you won't evade death!"Confident in his stage-seven martial monarch power and armed with a spear enhanced by martial techniques, he believed he could easily suppress Chase."A stage-seven martial monarch? So what?" Chase's voice was calm but carried a sharp edge.The black-robed martial monarch hesitated internally, reluctant to provoke further chaos."Capture him and bring him to the lord!" he ordered, waving his sleeve dramatically.In an instant, over a dozen Dark Blood Guards surged forward, thei
Chase chose not to pursue his adversaries further. Instead, he advanced deeper into the Bloodflame Stone Forest, searching for the elusive fire lotus."Huh? This flower seems unusual," he murmured, coming to an abrupt stop.Near the fiery blossom's stem, he spotted a dark red wooden stump that appeared to have been unearthed. Its surface shimmered faintly with grayish-white mist, giving it an air of mystery.Chase reached out to touch it, only to recoil slightly as the stump radiated an intense heat. The scorching sensation burned his skin as though it might ignite."Hmm?" His sharp gaze swept across the surroundings."Who's watching me?" he growled, activating his techniques. His internal energy surged, transforming into pure flames that burned away any lurking sinister presence."What astonishingly pure fire energy! Who is this boy?" an ancient, ethereal voice spoke from the shadows, tinged with astonishment."Friend or foe, why not reveal yourself?" Chase demanded coldly, his
"You're courting death! A mere martial monarch dares to clash with me?" the elder sneered disdainfully as his arm surged with power.Chase's powerful kick was blocked. Yet the next moment, a cold smile curved at the corners of Chase's lips. He could feel it—the strength in his kick was far beyond what it had been before."What… What's going on with you?!" the elder's eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.Just moments ago, Chase's kick seemed weaker than before. However, when the elder moved to block it again, it was as if Chase had transformed entirely.Their clash intensified, and Chase's attacks became even more ferocious. He unleashed a flurry of five or six punches, each one streaking through the air like a meteor. It was dazzling and unstoppable."This is bad!" The elder's martial spirit crumbled in an instant, and his entire arm twisted grotesquely out of shape. The sickening sound of bones shattering echoed, sending chills down the spines of anyone who could he
