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
The distance between them was very close, and Myra's soft breath hit Chase's face.It was warm and ticklish.Her slender fingers continuously traced circles on his chest. He felt as if they were scratching right at his heart.Chase, who had spent years practicing in the mountains, had never faced such temptation.Just as he was about to lose control, Myra suddenly grabbed his ear fiercely and said, "You little rascal, finally showing your true colors, aren't you?""Myra, it hurts. Ease up..." Chase could not help but say."It's not my fault. You were the one seducing me. After all, I'm a normal man."Chase looked aggrieved.Myra angrily retorted, "So if I seduce you, you just can't control yourself, is that it? What if you were with another woman and she seduced you in the same way?""That won't happen. I can definitely control myself. How could they possibly be as beautiful as you, Myra?" Chase hurriedly replied.His response made Myra smirk triumphantly. She added, "What if
Chase was silent for a long moment.Finally, he could not help but say, "Could you step out for a moment? I need to change my clothes.""Still shy? It's not like I haven't seen it before." Myra rolled her eyes at him but still left the room. After breakfast, Chase received a call from Finn. "Chief, a deputy chief instructor from the Green Dragon has come and specifically asked to see you. Apparently, he wants to stand up for Evan!" "They still have the nerve to come to me?"Chase scoffed, hung up the phone, and told Myra he was leaving.…Inside the Watersons' home, Evan said with a cold smile, "Dad, the deputy chief instructor from the Green Dragon went to Basalt's base to stand up for me."Previously, when he went to Basalt's base, Finn threw him out. He complained to the Green Dragon about it, and they immediately sent a deputy chief instructor to handle the matter."Should we go and watch?" Eugene asked somewhat gleefully.Since agreeing to cooperate with the Eastern Oc
"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
Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b
"Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he
Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c
Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
