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
“What are you doing here?” Chase frowned and asked.“Chief… Chief Instructor Collins, can.. Can I have a moment with you?” Sterling asked carefully.“Come inside.” Chase nodded.“No, it’s fine. It’s better that I talk to you out here.”Sterling shook his head and suddenly knelt in front of Chase. “I acted too arrogantly before, Chief Instructor. Please forgive me for it.”He had been feeling constant fear since he found out Chase’s identity.Even though Chase had expelled him from Basalt, he was still fearful of Chase coming after him for revenge.That was why Sterling rushed over to see Chase immediately after taking Agatha to the hospital. He wanted to apologize to Chase.“You’re overthinking this. I’ve already dealt out my punishment for you. I won’t hold anything against you now.”Chase shook his head and continued, “Moreover, a person like you isn’t worth wasting my time on.”His words sounded harsh, but Sterling was greatly relieved. “Thank you for showing mercy on me.”
When Eugene heard Evan’s words, he could not help asking, “What if Chief Instructor Collins refuses to see you?”“He has to see me!”Evan sneered. “Don’t forget that I’m from Green Dragon. Green Dragon is ranked in front of Basalt, and my chief instructor is known to be a hard-fisted man who gets what he wants. Basalt would not dare to give me trouble!”“Good.”Eugene was relieved.…Meanwhile, after Myra was done with her bath, she put on a tight silver short dress that accentuated every voluptuous curve on her body.“Do I look good, Chase?” Myra walked toward Chase and twirled for him.Chase stared at her in a daze.Myra looked completely different than before. Her lips were red hot, and she looked quite alluring. Every move and smile of hers was flirtatious.She looked like a seductive temptress.Myra smiled cunningly when she saw the look on his face. It was a satisfied smile.“Are you going on a blind date, Myra? Why are you all dressed up?” Chase asked after snapping
“If I can do that, I’m willing to get disfigured, even if it means my death!”Quinn looked at Madam Snake with conviction when she said this.“He's a lucky man. I wonder what he did to deserve you willing to do so much for him.”Madam Snake sighed softly and said, “Well, so be it. Come with me to the Million Curses Cave. If the Golden Voodoo Silkworm approves of you, it means that you'll be part of the Voodoo Cult!”Quinn stood up and eventually followed behind Madam Snake. She looked up at the world outside Silent Creek. A look of loneliness and reproach flashed in her eyes.“It’s the 20th today. Today is your birthday. Unfortunately, I can’t spend it with you!”…Deep inside Tonrad Moutains, an elderly man in a robe was sitting on a huge rock. He could not stop coughing. Blood splattered from his lips.There was a grim cloud of death about him, and it looked like he was dying.Even then, the old man was smiling as he looked at a woman in a white dress in front of him.The w
Myra soon arrived at a restaurant called Riverside Pavillion.Chase noticed there were no other customers in the restaurant when they entered. Instead, two rows of servers were standing tidily on both sides.“Welcome, Mr. Collins and Miss Kollins!”The well-dressed servers lowered their heads at both of them in synchronization.“We’ve got everything prepared, Miss Kollins. Do you want us to serve the food now?” The restaurant manager came up to her respectfully.“Yes.”Myra nodded. She pulled Chase along to the top floor of Riverside Pavillion and sat at the table there.“I reserved the entire restaurant to celebrate your birthday tonight, Chase. How do you like it?”“It’s nice, but you shouldn’t have,” Chase said with a laugh.Myra rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, “It’s not easy for me to be able to finally celebrate your birthday with you. It’s only right that I should do this. Let’s treat it as me making up for lost time.”“Alright. I’ll listen to whatever you
“What? Do you think I’m Vince Waterson?”Wendell laughed condescendingly.Before he could finish, a fork instantly pierced into his thigh.He screamed in pain.“Wendell!”The expressions of the people behind him changed instantly.Chase said coldly, “You talk too much. Get lost while I’m still in a good mood!”Wendell was furious. “What are you standing there for, you good-for-nothings?! Get him! Kill him! I’ll take responsibility for any consequences!”Seven or eight huge men immediately rushed forward to attack Chase.There was a cold glint in Chase’s eyes as he gently hit the surface of the table with his palm.All the forks and knives flew up into the air. Chase gave a wave of this right hand.The forks and knives stabbed into all of those men.Instant painful howls were heard all around them as fear appeared on the faces of those men.They fell before they could even get near Chase.Wendell was terrified when he saw what happened. He trembled when he saw Chase coming
Evan lunged at Chase like a tiger in a quick move. He was aiming for the kill.His claws shot straight toward Chase’s neck in an attempt to crush it instantly.“You overestimate yourself!”Chase’s expression remained stoic as he allowed Evan to grab his throat.Evan was delighted. He was about to crush Chase’s throat when he suddenly felt an immense force on his arm.His palm turned numb from the powerful force. There was a muffled grunt, and Evan released his grip. He stumbled a few steps backward.“Who are you?” Evan began looking at Chase in a different light.Evan was a late-stage strength-dissolving master. Ordinary people were no match for him, much less be able to beat him back.This man in front of Evan had to be a meridian-opening master.Evan thought about this.“You don’t deserve to know my name!”The look in Chase’s eyes was cold. “Judging by the way you move, you must be from the military.”“That’s right.”Evan smiled proudly. “I’m a member of Green Dragon!”
"I know I'm not your match," Ford said, bowing his head. "So, I willingly admit defeat. But I still want to see the Holy Path with my own eyes. That is why... I'm making this shameless request."His explanation actually made sense.Chase and the others already knew that Sky Dragon Holy Land was founded by the dragons who had ascended from the lower realm. It was not difficult to believe that they had the secret techniques needed to transmit battle footage.It also meant that all the rumors about Chase being a mysterious hidden expert were probably a joke among the major Holy Lands and sects. At least, among those sects that had close ties with Sky Dragon Holy Land, they probably already knew about Chase's true strength.Maybe all the Saints and Saintesses who had shown up at this little tournament in Light Divine City were actually here just to test Chase's abilities.Realizing this, Chase chuckled quietly and said, "Of course, you can come along, Ford. But first, I have to actual
After stepping down from the stage, Chase did not waste any time on unnecessary words.He quickly avoided the crowd of onlookers who acted like crazed fans and returned to the reserved inn room with Willow and the others."Tomorrow, your opponent will be the Saint of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford," Walter said excitedly."They say Sky Dragon Holy Land was established by the dragons who ascended from the fifth level. You thrashed the Lightning Dragon back on the fifth level the last time, so this time should be just as easy.""Where'd you get such reliable information?" Willow asked, feeling a little surprised.After all, with Walter's rather fearsome appearance—looking every bit like a bandit—most people would not want anything to do with him."I have dragon blood, remember?" Walter patted his chest proudly."Last time, after absorbing the Poison Dragon's core and a good amount of blood essence, the concentration of my dragon lineage became strong enough to catch Sky Dragon Holy La
On the main stage, Chase watched the sea of runes flying toward him. Suddenly, a spark of understanding struck him.He channeled his vital energy into the right index finger that had fused with the divine bone. Recalling the sword manual techniques, streaks of lightning-infused vital energy shot forth as sword energy.He moved his finger through the air, as if painting across the void. Each stroke unleashed a brilliant sword aura, razor-sharp and unstoppable, shattering everything in its path.Jade's rune barrage was broken apart one by one. Fragments of spiritual light and shattered runes drifted through the air.Every slash of Chase's sword aura was executed with such precision that not a single movement was wasted. The angles and trajectories were so perfect that each attack struck the runes at their most vulnerable points, maximizing impact.Among the spectators, only Carla, Fallon, and Ford—who had just rushed over—could truly appreciate the brilliance of his swordplay.More
"But the Light Divine Pearl is a creation-grade treasure. It's still only at the martial god level. It's far from being fully awakened," Fallon said with a frown.While the two spoke, Jade and Chase had already clashed head-on. Jade had unleashed her Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Countless ancient runes, shining with brilliance, shot out from the light screen behind her. Each rune faintly contained the essence of martial arts, distorting the space as they passed.If one's cultivation was insufficient, one's mind and soul would likely be shaken first, followed by one's body being pierced by the runes.As the rain of runes blasted toward Chase like a raging storm, the spectators below gasped as they were finally witnessing a truly grand spectacle.Willow and the others were awed by the sheer momentum of Jade's ultimate move. Although they knew Chase would not be harmed, they could not help but feel anxious."Can Chase block it?" Lisa asked worriedly while glancing at Willow."My mast
Jade gritted her teeth as she gathered all her vital energy, preparing to unleash her ultimate move. It was the very origin of her title—Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Behind her, a vital energy screen spread open like a peacock fanning its tail.The surface was covered with intricate patterns, resembling the eye-like spots on a peacock's feathers.These patterns were not mere decorations. Each one was an ancient rune, capable of releasing a devastating vital energy attack.When Jade unleashed this move, everyone below gasped in shock."No way, this is just a friendly tournament match. Does Jade really need to go this far?""Should we reinforce the arena's defensive array? I'm afraid someone might get caught in the crossfire.""Tsk, tsk, it's been so long since we last saw Jade lose her temper. She's even more stunning when she is angry!""You're such a pervert. If you get hit by that move, there will not even be a corpse left of you!""You don't understand. There are worse ways t
Inside Universal Holy Land, Clive and his master were facing off against the woman suspected to be the Dark Divine Pearl. Meanwhile, at Light Divine City, Chase's fourth round at the tournament's semifinals had already begun.His opponent was Jade, the Saintess of Modest Lady Holy Land, also known as Thousand Eyes and Flowers.It was already extremely rare for two contestants with such a rare same surname to appear in the same tournament. They belonged to different factions yet both were advancing to the final few rounds. Not to mention, if Yara had revealed his phoenix bloodline and inheritance, he might have very well made it to the finals too.The people with the surname Fries were terrifying beyond words!These were the thoughts running through Chase's head for no particular reason. On the other hand, after Jade saluted, she launched her attack without hesitation.Chase, still a bit distracted, was startled by the ferocity of her strike. Such a name and demeanor, paired with
Skyler spoke proudly.Clive kept having the feeling that something did not seem right when he heard Skyler's words."The Holy Path will only open after winning the tournament championship. Only those selected by the champion can enter. I was already eliminated in the second round…" Clive stammered."Won't you become the champion after killing the current champion? Isn't killing Chase Collins what you want to do?" Skyler was frustrated with Clive.Clive finally realized what felt wrong about all of this."You're not Skyler," he said coldly.The Universal Element Priest had also locked down on Skyler with his vital energy at this point. "Reveal yourself. Who are you? What did you do to Skyler?""Oh? How did you know?" Skyler was taken aback but quickly calmed down and asked the question. "What's wrong with my charisma and appearance?"He looked at his body and clothes while asking the questions with curiosity and calmness. This person had admitted to pretending to be Skyler."Fir
"His will is a blur." Clive sounded helpless when he added, "But it's a will that is extremely frightening and evil."He had the right to this opinion as someone who had faced Klondike directly.When Klondike's will was directed at him, Clive could feel unlimited fear and helplessness. Any second more of facing Klondike might make him lose his mind.He could barely take the energy pumped into him. He only managed to get through it because of his guilt for Rania and his desire to live.The thought of begging Klondike was equivalent to seeing death.There was one reason why he was brave enough to talk about Klondike with the Universal Element Priest and Skyler. It was because Klondike was in a stage of being half awake and half asleep. Clive only dared to discuss Klondike when he was asleep.However, speaking of anything that crossed the line would attract his attention, and Clive was not willing to see that happen.The Universal Element Priest and Skyler glanced at each other. The
Both of those disciples thought they could see Skyler lose his temper, but he reacted calmly. The attempts to fan the situation seemed to have failed. Had they lost credibility with Skyler for their misguided actions?They broke into a cold sweat from fear.Those disciples had offended the previous and current Saints. It looked like they had just made life tougher for themselves.They glanced at each other and gave a long sigh.…Inside Universal Element Palace, Clive had placed Rania down on a training mat while he knelt in front of his master, the Universal Element Priest. "Master, please save Rania North. I'm willing to pay any price without regrets!"He spoke with great determination, and there was a grim look on his face."Silly boy." The Universal Element Priest glanced at Clive and sighed."Rania North seems to have been poisoned by a vicious curse and an extraterritorial poison. I can temporarily save her life, but her face…" He shook his head."I'm grateful enough that
