She was not doubting Chase’s decision. Instead, she was concerned about Myra.After she said that, everyone thought they had misheard her.Iris agreed?How was that possible?Was it that easy to join Basalt?Myra was also stunned.Renee’s interest was piqued, and she stood forward while stammering, “Ma’am, um, I want to join Basalt too.”“Do you think you’re worthy?” Iris peered at her in disdain.Renne was speechless.Iris did not care what they thought of her. After she looked at the time, she said, “Alright, it’s late. Recruits, follow me!”After she said that, a few young people, including Sterling and Vince, walked forward.“Myra, go ahead,” Chase said to Myra.After Myra came back to her senses, she felt unconfident and asked, "Chase, is the assessment hard?”“It won’t be. I promise you can pass it,” Chase comforted her.“Okay!”Myra took a deep breath and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.”She clenched her fists and followed the team into the base.“All of yo
Inferno did not expect what he did to backfire.He even got beat up.He touched his swollen eye and wanted to tell Sterling to get lost.Suddenly, Chase stopped him. “Wait, where's Myra?”“She’s undergoing the assessment,” Inferno replied humbly.“You know what to do this time, right?” Chase looked at him, a half smile on his face.“Of course!”“Go now. Take good care of Myra for me.”Chase waved his hand, and Inferno ran to the assessment venue as if he had been granted amnesty.Finn walked in at this moment. “Boss, I’ve lined up all the recruits. Shall we head over now?”“No rush.”Chase lifted his head to look at the sun. Then, he shook his head and said, “Tell them to do a ten-mile run first.”Finn was stunned after he heard that. However, when he recalled that this was an assessment, he turned around and made arrangements.…20 young people stood tall with their heads held high, chests out, and eyes fixed ahead on the vast training ground.Even though they were unde
“Talk!”“My… My name is Sterling Wallace!”Finn said sternly, “Sterling Wallace? Don’t you even know how to reply? Is there something wrong with your brain?”“Sir, I… I was in the bathroom,” Sterling quickly explained.Finn did not expect him to reply so honestly. He gave Sterling an eerie smile. “Went to the bathroom, did you? Step out of the line!”Sterling quickly walked to the front as everyone looked at him pitifully.“Give me 50 push-ups!” Finn ordered stoically.Sterling’s face turned green when he heard this.50 sit-ups?He could not even do ten!Sterling had always lived a comfortable life and had never trained before. All his stamina was used to lay on top of women.Finn said in a grim voice, “Do you have any objections? Get out if you aren’t willing to do it. Basalt doesn’t need useless good-for-nothings. We don’t need men who disobey military orders!”“No, I have no objections.”Sterling winced and quickly got to the floor. He began to do his push-ups.He was
Sterling was the one who looked forward to meeting the chief instructor the most.He knew that he had performed horribly just now. It was highly possible that he would be eliminated.If he managed to get into the Chief Instructor Collins’ good graces, he might stand a chance to continue at Basalt.Vince could not wait to meet the chief instructor as well.His fists were clenched.If the Watersons were able to get acquainted with Chief Instructor Collins, they would have a powerful ally.Once that happened, they could destroy the Wallaces just like that!As for Myra and Chase, it would be easy for him to have them dead.Vince got excited at this thought.The sound of slow footsteps was heard, and everyone perked up their ears. They held their breaths and looked straight ahead. They did not dare to move at all.It felt like every step was stomping on their hearts. Everyone’s blood pressure went up from that feeling.When Chase got nearer, Finn immediately jogged over to him an
Chase gave the order, “Throw him out!”Finn immediately instructed his subordinates to drag Sterling out.Vince also knelt heavily on the ground. He kept bowing at Chase as he said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Collins. I shouldn’t have offended you. Please show mercy.”There was regret on his face.If he had known who Chase really was, he would never have set his eyes on Myra no matter how brazen he was.Of course, he would never have dared stir up trouble with Chase.Vince wanted to slap himself at the thought of how he had planned to take revenge on Chase.“I thought you would've dialed back on your actions that night at the party after I taught you a lesson, Vince Waterson.“Yet, you decided to bring your men and barge into the Wallace's villa in an attempt to take revenge against me.”Chase’s tone was cold. “A petty person like you who's filled with grudges and has a lecherous mind should be severely punished!“Take him away and lock him up. I’ll deal out his punishment later!”Vinc
Sterling looked at everyone’s expectant faces. He wanted to shout out loud, 'Chief Instructor Collins is actually Chase Collins!'However, he swallowed those words when they were right at his lips.It was not that he did not want to tell them.When he was thrown out, someone warned him not to reveal Chase’s identity or he would be executed!This was an order given by the top brass in Basalt!Chase’s identity had to be kept strictly under wraps before the appointment ceremony.It was because beneath the surface of their calm country laid a sinister layer of threats. Many of their enemies’ spies and powerful fighters were hidden in the dark.Once Chase’s identity was revealed, it would bring him nothing but trouble.Agatha stamped her feet impatiently when she saw Sterling hemming and hawing. “Tell us, quick.”Sterling hesitated before deciding to lie, “Actually, I only managed to glimpse the side of Chief Instructor Collins’ face.”“The side of his face?”Everyone was taken a
Agatha was stunned!Every Wallace was stunned as well.Did they hear this wrong?Myra had actually been accepted into Basalt?How was that possible?Sterling was the only one who looked bitter.Myra was the chief instructor’s sister. It would be a joke if she was not accepted into Basalt.Renee looked the most upset among everyone.Her face was pale, and she was about to explode from jealousy.Renee had always looked down on Myra. To her, Myra was just a wild woman who grew up outside the family. Even though she was a Wallace, Myra could never compare to Renee.However, it was true that Myra had joined Basalt.Renee could not accept this.“Impossible! That can’t be possible!”She was angered and started roaring hysterically, “How… How did she manage to join Basalt?!”“Are you questioning me?” Iris immediately stared coldly at Renee.Renee fell sitting to the ground. She shook her head in fright. “I… I would never dare do that!”Iris grunted coldly and said to Myra, “We’
Everyone was stunned to hear Sterling’s words.Agatha thought she had heard wrong. “What did you just say, Sterling?”“Grandma, I was expelled by Basalt,” Sterling said with an ugly smile.“What?”Agatha almost passed out as she said agitatedly, “How did this happen? How?”Every member of the Wallaces looked like they had just swallowed a bug.They had thought that the Wallaces would be able to prosper after Sterling got accepted into Basalt.Who knew that they had been flung back to hell in a blink of an eye?Sterling glanced carefully at Chase. “I… I performed too badly while in training, and the chief instructor expelled me himself…”Agatha coughed up blood and passed out on the spot.“Grandma!” “Madam Johnson!” The Wallaces were in a frenzy, and there was a huge commotion among them.Chase turned away and said to Myra, “Let’s go, Myra.”Myra left with Chase only after making sure that Agatha was safely taken away by everyone in a car.…Back at the Watersons' villa
Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle
"Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump
"Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was
Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect. He was particularly del
However, the Dark and Light Emeralds' quality was clearly better on the second level than on the first level.If the rumor about this place having nine levels were true, how much more powerful would the Dark and Light Emeralds on the ninth level be?As for Willow and her little gigolo, were they in a hurry to get to the next level because they knew a secret about the ninth level?Ricky's question made him think about this thoroughly.He was impressed.No wonder Ricky was a Supreme Elder. He had such acute observation."Do you mean to say that Willow is in a hurry to get to the ninth level?" he asked the question carefully."Haven't any of you explored the Dark and Light Mineral Ore?" Ricky frowned when he asked this."It's because the Dark and Light Emeralds we found here are only suitable for low-level cultivators, which is why…" Barnabas was embarrassed when he answered."All of you ignored the facts in front of you—the Dark and Light Emeralds, the teleportation doors, and t
Ricky had another thought. It seemed that Willow and the others were in a hurry to get through the teleportation doors. The locations they were sent to were different as well. There was no guarantee that they would arrive at the same place as Willow and the others. Besides that, every level seemed to become increasingly difficult.On the other hand, they had no idea how many levels there were after this. They did not know how many teleportation doors they had to go through.Ricky was hesitant as he looked at the teleportation door that was glowing mysteriously."Why aren't you going inside?" Dominic hurried his old nemesis when Ricky refused to budge."What do Willow and the others want by coming to this place?"Ricky was thoughtful and looked at Dominic to ask the question."What? How would I know? Let's just get this done with. Aren't we here to take the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus? Even if we can't get it, it's also worth it to take his skills and techniques. I'm estimating
"Kill them? No, no, no. I'd never dare do such a thing." The dark sorcerer quickly denied it. He thought that Barnabas and the others were Chase's family and friends when he saw the shocked looks on their faces.No one knew what might happen to him if they mistook him for their murderer."They aren't dead?"Ricky used his consciousness to sense the area. He used his vital energy to pick up the bones and rotting flesh from the ground for closer inspection.The remains looked like they had been there for years. There were also no signs of cultivation on them. Most of the bones and rotting flesh were from the corpses of common men.Dominic inspected them as well and came up with the same conclusion."Tsk… See how much you scared him, Ricky. You shouldn't be so sharp with your questions. Come here, my friend. Tell me where they went."Dominic said to Ricky sarcastically before putting on a friendly face to ask the dark sorcerer.The dark sorcerer looked at the big, plump man and fo
The dark sorcerer began to squirm like a long snake. He had thought the blade would be powerless against him. The dark sorcerer would counter-attack after that and summon the legendary Flame of Destruction to burn those three strange infiltrators to death.Unfortunately, things did not work out the way he planned.Greedy Wolf slashed him at the waist. The dark sorcerer was like a deflated balloon as his black robe fell to the ground. The black silk covering him fell as well, and black smoke wafted from it. His eyes were the only two bright spots left."How is this possible?"The black smoke's form was like the undead they had met before except it was not translucent and had a dark color. It was almost solid.The dark sorcerer's voice was not a sound that was heard in the air. Instead, it reverberated in the minds of Chase and the others.What kind of existence was he?Despite their astonishment, they were not too surprised. Besides the rotting zombie, the undead, the old hag, an
Willow could not let that happen. She forced herself to calm down while pushing it out of her sea of consciousness with great force. She became dizzy and felt like throwing up. It was a similar feeling to getting car sick.She bled from the nose. Her attempt at attacking the tower had caused some damage to her mind and soul."I can't do it. This tower can defend itself against consciousness trying to inspect it," Willow said breathlessly. "Give it up. I'm invincible here!" The dark shadow spoke up once more. Unlike before, his voice seemed to connect directly to everyone's minds.Chase felt a headache. This was only the second level and things had become complicated.He was suddenly impressed by the two people who got to level seven."Stop playing tricks, Dark Sorcerer, or I'll blow up your sorcerer's tower," Chase said grimly. He used the Passive Concentration Technique and the Light Deity Technique to broadcast his words.This dark sorcerer was inclined to use unorthodox te
