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 met Sterling’s glare with a sharp look in his eye. “Say another word and you’ll end up just like him!”Sterling choked back his words with fury and said nothing.After all, he had witnessed how vicious Chase could be. Sterling would really end up getting beaten if Chase said so.The entire hall was silent as everyone was still trying to digest the sight of Chase slapping Vince crazily.Vince stood up and looked savagely at Chase. There was murder in his eyes. “No one has ever dared to do something like this in my life of more than 20 years. You’re the first, you scoundrel!“Good for you. Very good!“Now, die!”A cold look flashed in his eye as he charged forward to swing a punch at Chase. He exposed all of his hidden strength cultivation in the process.Vince had no intention of doing that, but he no longer cared about anything but killing Chase.His punch was less than ten inches away from Chase’s face.Vince laughed savagely. He could almost see Chase’s head explode r
By the time Chase noticed, a swarm of venomous creatures had gathered around him.Among them were common species like black mambas, golden-ringed snakes, green pit vipers, seven-step vipers, crimson scorpions, and long-tailed centipedes, but mixed in were also rare and deadly breeds such as Nether Vipers and Thousand Calamities Azure Snake.What was going on? Wait… Nether Vipers?!A familiar voice suddenly echoed above him. "Go to hell!"Chase looked up and saw a figure hovering in the air.Sure enough—it was the man with small eyes. He was still alive!Chase glanced at the corpse he had just slain moments ago. What lay there was not a real body but a pile of beast bones, blood, and shredded fur—a decoy.How careless of him. The warriors of the Nefarious Deity Sect were as troublesome as ever.He let out a quiet sigh.The man with small eyes, on the other hand, was seething with hatred.Back at the Nefarious Deity Sect, the three brothers had initially dismissed the Nefarious
The fierce storm-like assault proved effective.The man with small eyes managed to land a few cuts on Chase's skin, leaving faint traces of blood. Delighted, he sneered, "You brat, you've been poisoned! Just accept your fate and die!"Chase let out a low snort.He had allowed the venomous green dagger to graze him intentionally. The blade barely cut through his skin, and after a slight wisp of black smoke, the wounds healed instantly.Earlier, Chase had estimated that the man with small eyes was, at most, a stage-six martial god. Unlike the boorish man from before, his strength seemed to lie in his speed and use of poison.However, after undergoing multiple rounds of body refinement, Chase's physique had become virtually immune to ordinary toxins. This venom was just too weak!Chase shook his head in disappointment.The smirk on the man with small eyes faded as he watched the wounds he inflicted disappear in an instant.That dagger—the Heaven's Poison Dagger—was forged from t
Zacharias sighed as he spoke, his tone laced with regret.Chase furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did they spare the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?""Orin, the Abyssal Ape, Lysand, the Black Monk, and Elijah, the Skinscraper, were all martial cultivators. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid's flesh has immense benefits for body refinement, even for those at the peak of the martial god realm."So, they carved out a small lake here, set up a restrictive formation, and kept it captive. Every 50 years, they would return to harvest its flesh. That's the only reason I've been able to survive."Chase narrowed his eyes. "How long until their next harvest?"Zacharias calculated for a moment before replying, "It should be happening any day now."Chase glanced at the massive squid still writhing in the lake, seemingly not fully dead. He formed a new plan in his mind. The Nefarious Deity Sect practiced body refinement too. Perhaps this thing could serve as some bait?He pondered for a moment before asking, "
A stage-eight martial nirvana beast, clearly one with a physique-focused specialization, yet possessing an innate talent for mind and soul attacks?Chase was momentarily surprised.Then, a smug voice echoed within his sea of consciousness."What a powerful body! This is a heaven-sent opportunity! Finally, I don't have to be trapped in that slimy squid anymore! These past few centuries have been absolutely disgusting!"Hearing this, Chase immediately understood.This was not an innate mind and soul attack from the Nine-Sea Giant Squid; this was the remnant soul of a long-lost great cultivator attempting to seize his body."Who are you?" he asked."Kid, you should be honored! I've chosen you, so just enjoy the ride!"Before Chase could get more answers, the entity launched a full-scale mind and soul assault.A black shadow rampaged through his sea of consciousness, colliding violently and emitting waves of soundless sonic attacks, sending waves of dizziness through Chase's mind.
"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
