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
"I was originally at the martial god level, but after arriving in this world, my strength was suppressed down to martial monarch," Chase explained calmly."So... you came from a world where there's a higher realm?" Cyril was utterly shocked. The events of today had truly broadened his horizons.First, he was betrayed by a fellow outer disciple, then rescued by a stranger, who turned out to be a martial god!"You could say that," Chase replied, not willing to elaborate. After all, this world was only the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore.Whether it was an illusion or a real world created by the Light Divine Pearl, no one could be sure. Everything would have to wait until they reached the ninth level of the defensive formation.Just then, a roaring sound came from the sky. They looked up to see three armed helicopters circling overhead."This is the ground unit. You're surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender immediately, or else—"Before the voice could finish, Cha
After carefully studying the appearances of the three, Cyril sifted through his memory.Before descending the mountain, his nine mentors had compiled a list of the strongest individuals in the current world. It included rankings in combat ability, strategy, physical strength, medical skill, and other crucial categories—listing the top 300 names.Yet he could not find any entry that matched these three people standing before him.That puzzled him greatly. Based on the data his mentors gave him, they had basically covered every top-tier power in the world. For these three to be so powerful and yet completely unrecorded… was hard to believe.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke solemnly. "I'm Cyril Stent, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect. I came down the mountain on my mentors' orders."I didn't expect to run into this mess and drag you all into danger. I truly apologize. As the saying goes, each kind deed should be repaid. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just
"Alright, go ahead," Chase said, noticing Willow's eagerness.After all, throughout their journey, she had spent most of her time being a burden. She probably felt bad about it.Now that she finally had a chance to contribute, of course, she wanted to prove herself—not just to them but to herself. What she did not know was that Chase was also highly skilled in medicine.Willow activated her cultivation technique, her eyes glowing violet. This was the Purple Shadow Divine Eyes, a secret technique from the Evil Shadow Sect's Great Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique.It allowed her to perceive the flow of various extraordinary energies—vital energy, spiritual energy, sick energy, vitality, ghost energy, and more.At this moment, within her field of vision, Cyril's meridians appeared as clearly as if under an X-ray.She suddenly cried out, shutting her eyes tightly as if they were being scorched."What's wrong?" Walter and Chase asked at the same time.Chase quickly focused h
This thing… Was it not the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?Had it reincarnated?What mattered more was that Chase was currently only at the martial monarch level. Now that they were inside a plane, if things escalated even a little, the aircraft would definitely explode. Yet on the other hand, their flying abilities were restricted at the moment, so they were essentially just waiting to die.Chase immediately found himself in a dilemma.While he hesitated, Klondike—also known as the Nine-Sea Giant Squid—extended three or four more tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Cyril. It looked like it was about to stuff him into its mouth. There was no choice. Chase had to go all in.Chase activated the Passive Concentration Technique. On one hand, it hid his spiritual presence from detection, and on the other, it launched a direct soul attack against Mia's group and the Nine-Sea Giant Squid.Then, Greedy Wolf struck.Now that he had reached the martial monarch realm, Chase could control it wi
Mia, Lourde, and Clef had also dropped their disguises and revealed their true faces.Lourde was no longer timid and submissive. Instead, he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the crowd.Clef looked calm and confident now, his previous flattery completely gone, replaced by a defiant expression. In his hands was a submachine gun.Their surrounding subordinates each held weapons too, pointing them at the passengers.Mia tore off her outer clothes, revealing a slit black dress that clung tightly to her figure. A small, intricately designed pistol hung from her thigh.She drew it with elegance and pointed it directly at Chase and the others. "You three, behave yourselves. Don't meddle where you don't belong."Chase and his companions froze, feeling stunned—especially Chase.This development was not what he remembered. Were Garth and Mia the boss of this level? He decided to hold back for now and observe.Seeing that Chase and the other passengers seemed too shocked to react and we
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
