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!”
However, she calmed down slightly after she remembered how powerful Chase was. She returned to her seat.Hanks was the only one who was feeling anxious and worried.What was happening?!About ten minutes later, a cold voice was heard speaking from downstairs, “Who dares bully my brother?”The next moment, a woman in a tight, black outfit rushed in with a group of men.“Luna, he’s the one!” Wendell pointed at Chase, who was eating with his back against everyone.Myra wanted to stand up and explain to the woman when she saw this.Chase pressed her down and said, “We should continue eating.”Luna was furious as she looked at Chase’s back. “How brazen of you to touch a member of the Wilsons!”That was when Chase turned back to look at her with a sharp and cold gaze.It was just a glance, but Luna winced, and a blank look replaced the anger on her face.It was him!That was the martial arts powerhouse she had met at the hunting zone!When Wendell saw her standing motionless, he
Evan smiled and said nothing when he met Eugene’s questioning eyes. A cold, vicious look flashed in Evan’s eyes.Eugene did not push for an answer when Evan said nothing. He frowned and said, “Let’s save Vince first. We have no idea if he’s dead or alive now that he’s detained in Basalt.”“I’ll head over right now,” Evan said with a nod.Evan arrived at Basalt’s base half an hour later.He took out his Green Dragon identification and said to the Basalt member guarding the base entrance, “I’m Evan Waterson from Green Dragon. I want to see the person in charge here.”The Basalt guard took the identification and made a call to report Evan’s arrival after checking the identification.It was not long before Finn came walking out. He said politely, “My name is Finn Yardley. What brings you here to Basalt’s base?”Evan glanced at his military rank of major and felt slight disdain for Finn. However, he was still polite as he said, “My name is Evan Waterson. Vince Waterson is my younger
Evan led Eugene out the door with a mysterious look on his face.…Chase and Myra left Riverside Pavillion.Myra looked at Chase with an upset look after receiving a call and said, “Grandma wants me to stop by. I wonder what she wants.”“It’s fine. I’ll be here for you even if the sky falls on you.”Chase comforted her and accompanied her back to the Wallaces' place.They stepped into the door to find every core member of the Wallaces present. All of them looked upset and frightened!“Is there anything you want with me, Grandma?” Myra asked with a questioning look on her face.“Kneel, you wretch!” Agatha roared.The look on Myra’s face changed. She frowned and asked, “What did I do wrong that you need me to kneel, Grandma?”“Myra Kollins, how dare you continue putting up an act at a time like this?!”Renee stood up and said coldly, “We've just received news that you offended someone from Green Dragon while you were having dinner at Riverside Pavillion. Is the news true?”“Y
After finishing their conversation, Chase left with Myra from the Wallaces’ place.As she watched the two disappear, Renee scoffed and asked, "Did you all hear his last words? He told us not to regret it. He even said that we'd beg Myra to return to the Wallaces is sheer arrogance.""Renee is right. Who does he think he is? The chief instructor of Basalt?""As for regrets, it'll be them who will regret everything. Without the Wallaces, they’re nothing and will soon end up dead in the streets!""Just watch. They even dare to offend the Green Dragon. Basalt will definitely fire Myra in order to settle the matter!"The Wallaces mocked the two one after another, their words dripping with disdain.Agatha also smirked and told Renee, "Renee, go and take back that villa right away!"Myra was just a brash young woman. Since she was of no use and refused to obey Agatha, there was no need to keep her at the Wallaces for a free ride."Alright, Grandma."Renee nodded immediately and then
After hanging up the phone, Chase looked around the room and murmured, "Myra, since you aim to conquer the world, I’ll help you achieve that!"…Renee entered the Wallace household with the villa keys, brimming with triumph. She said, "Grandma, that little wretch has already moved out.""Did she say anything? Did she express her regret?" Agatha asked reflexively.She had instructed Renee to do this in hopes that Myra would regret her actions and come back crying, begging for another chance.Renee shook her head. "She didn't say anything. She didn't even shed a single tear. She left quite decisively."Agatha frowned, clearly dissatisfied. "It seems she's determined to follow that boy. Well, I want to see what those two will turn into."As they were speaking, Sterling and Liam returned.They had been on a trip out of town and just returned to Camland. They were unaware of Myra being driven out."Grandma, what are you guys talking about?" Liam asked curiously."Liam, you might n
It was not just the Wallaces. Other elite families in Camland also received the invitations, including the Watersons.When night fell, Evan took Eugene to a private club.Before Eugene could ask anything, Evan addressed a burly man in a suit at the entrance, "I need to see Mr. Ivans."The man made a call inside the club and then told Evan, "Mr. Evan, Mr. Ivans is waiting for you inside."Evan was about to enter with Eugene, but the bouncer stopped them. "Mr. Evan, my apologies, but your companion can't come in.""How dare you? This is my father, the head of the Watersons, one of Camland's elite families. I brought him here to discuss important matters with Mr. Ivans," Evan snapped angrily.The bouncer's expression changed, and he stepped aside to let them pass.As soon as they entered, the door was closed behind them. Eugene noticed that the decor was styled like the Eastern Ocean region.Not only that, but the guards around them were also dressed in Eastern Ocean practice clot
"Of course."Greg replied with a faint smile, "Because the Eastern Ocean’s goal is to kill the new chief instructor of Basalt and leave the organization leaderless. Ideally, we'll annihilate the entire Basalt, dealing a severe blow to Bactria."For this purpose, the Eastern Ocean has deployed a true master of martial arts and 500 dedicated warriors. We plan to capture them all during the appointment ceremony in three days!"Eugene turned pale with fear."I can also tell you that the previous chief instructor of Basalt, Thomas Leif, died under a covert operation by the Eastern Ocean."Even he was no match for the Eastern Ocean. Do you think this new, young chief instructor can survive under our setup?"Greg said with a half-hearted smirk.Evan said, "Yes, Dad. Mr. Ivans can also ensure that after annihilating Basalt, our involvement will not be exposed. He even promised to covertly support the Watersons to become the Lord of Camland!"The Lord of Camland!Eugene was indeed temp
After all, Chase had to bring Yara along if they were really going to the Holy Path.Chase would not be able to hide it from them then. It was better to be honest with them from the start."What? He needed something from you? Will he come over to see you tonight?" Willow's question had Lisa and Walter exchanging a glance.Chase had no idea how to respond. "What are you thinking, Willow? Sweep those dirty thoughts out of your mind."He berated Willow.Willow realized what she had just said and quickly apologized. "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask what you meant by him needing your help."Chase sighed. "To put it in a nutshell, Yara has phoenix bloodline and requires the Light Divine Pearl's help to receive the Rising powers of the Phoenix Deity. He knows that I have hope of getting the Light Divine Pearl, which is why he came to me."Willow and Walter were stunned."The Phoenix Deity? Isn't that one of the Five Major Demon Saints who holds the same standing as th
"An old acquaintance?" There was murder in Carla's eyes."It's someone from long ago. I thought she was dead. I didn't expect her to still be alive, or rather, this could be her descendant." Fallon's mind moved quickly as he tried to squeeze any excuse he could from his mind."Why haven't I heard you talk about this old acquaintance before?" Carla was suspicious. However, Fallon had never lied to her before. At least, she had never caught him lying before. She was not entirely sure if he was telling lies right now."You know how the Nefarious Deity Sect would sometimes discover unique and powerful monsters whenever we visualize Nefarious Spirits or tame dark beasts. Yara Fries looks very much like a human-form monster I discovered with phoenix bloodline."She refused to bow down to me. Since I could not have her, I killed her. I was not as powerful then, and I had a hard time trying to kill her. I was relegated to using despicable methods in the fight. That's why I… lost my calm whe
However, the rules did not state that fighters were not allowed to admit defeat, which was why the referee ruled that Chase had won.Most elites in the spectators did not know the Fries family well, but they still came forward to ask about the fight. Some of them went off to watch other fights with a sorry look or a look of disdain on their face.Carla, who was seated at the very top, said, "Interesting.""Why would you say that?"Fallon, who had been looking forward to watching a descendant of the Phoenix Deity in action, was feeling upset about the outcome. He asked the question when he heard Carla's comment."They were putting up an act," Carla said with a smile."Huh? Wouldn't that be rigging a fight? What are you smiling about?" Fallon felt angrier after hearing her explanation. He was the one in charge of the tournament, and they were rigging a fight right under his nose. That was disrespectful to the city lord."Didn't he organize this tournament to find out more about thi
"Huh. I didn't expect you to know so much." Yara was surprised."Of course, I know stuff." Chase felt a little proud about it but quickly said, "You should hurry up. There are a lot of people waiting out there.""Alright. I'll make it quick."The Holy Path is a relic of the calamity years ago. As for the ninth level, it was created by the Light Divine Pearl to protect himself by fusing pieces of the world collected from every corner of the universe."Currently, the Holy Path on the sixth level leads directly to the sealed location where the Light Divine Pearl's true form is. The Light Divine Pearl's image projection on the ninth level is where he is able to use most of his powers."Something happened while he was fusing the ninth level. The maximum cultivations on each level are different, and the Light Divine Pearl's image projection is unable to merge with his true form."That's why he used the body refinement of the Divine Order's Flame to leave a mark on you to help you pass t
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen
"History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t
Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni
