Everyone stood motionless for a long time. Their faces were frozen with looks of shock.Sloane, one of Eastern Ocean’s Eight Heavenly Masters, was dead!He was a true master of martial arts!Nothing but the guiding missiles could have killed him.However, he ended up dying in Chase’s hands.Everyone took a sharp breath. They looked at Chase’s proud figure standing tall in the air with fear.He was the ultimate genius!Chase was a rare genius in martial arts!Chief Instructor Collins’ name would be known all over the world after the fight today!Saul and the veterans were emotional.A man like this was equivalent to an army in Bactria!The most emotional among them were all of the Basalt members present.Each and every one of them were crying with joy.Their chief instructor had won. That meant Basalt would be embracing a bright future with no one to stop them!Iris felt especially touched by this. She burst out shouting, “Basalt will rise with our chief instructor!”The
“I don’t want to die…”Many of the Watersons began crying hysterically from fear as they soiled themselves.Eugene smiled bitterly when he saw them putting the blame on him. He looked at Chase and said, “They’re right, Chief Instructor Collins. I was the one behind all of this. It had nothing to do with any of them.”“Nothing to do with any of them? Do you think I’ll take your word for it?” Chase smiled with disdain.“Detain all of them!”“Wait!”Evan suddenly stopped him and said, “You’ve won, Collins, but don’t think for a minute that you’ll be able to put me on trial!“Eastern Oceanians will never die at the hands of a bunch of stupid people from Bactria!”A savage look flashed on his face and he roared fanatically, “Long live the emperor!”He attempted to slam his palm against his forehead hard to commit suicide.However, Chase was not about to let him have his way. Chase flicked his finger and a surge of vigorous energy shot out. It put a hole through the vein of Evan's
All of the guests eventually left as the appointment ceremony came to an end.However, they were still feeling emotional about what happened.It was soon before the details of Chase’s fight with Sloane began to spread like wildfire to every corner of Bactria and even overseas.Sloane was one of Eastern Ocean’s Eight Heavenly Masters and was quite renowned not only in Eastern Ocean but all over the world.However, a powerhouse like him had died in the hands of a young man of about 20. This was more than shocking.This was the moment when one name stayed on everyone’s minds, “Basalt's Collins!”Basalt's Collins.No one knew his real age, but he was suspected to be in his 20s!He was from Bactria, and there was no other background information on him!His current identity was the new chief instructor of Bactria’s Basalt!Even though powerhouses from all around the world were not able to find out more about him, they were still overwhelmed by what little information they had on hi
“Great! I’ve been waiting a long time for this.”Scott broke out in a wide smile.“We have to return the favor, don’t we?” Gareth smiled cunningly and said, “If they can be brazen enough to challenge Bactria’s dignity and secretly enter Camland to kill Basalt’s chief instructor, we should kill their Spy Elite as well!“You know what to do without more explanation from me, right?”“Absolutely. I’ll ensure everyone else knows that I’ve severed ties with Bactria,” Scott said as he scratched his head and smiled.…At Bactria’s immigration, dozens of huge men in suits were respectfully welcoming someone. Many people passing by could not help staring at them.It was soon before an old man in cloth robes walked down a ship. He took a deep breath of the air and said, “I’m back, Bactria.”A middle-aged man in training clothes stood out among the men in suits to welcome him. He lowered his stature and said, “I’m Jasper Shelman from the Martial Arts Alliance. Welcome, Mr. Harrigan!“We’
While the public was still talking about the appointment ceremony, an unexpected guest turned up at Basalt's base.Chase met Harlow, the Green Dragon’s deputy chief instructor, who had returned. He asked directly, “What are you doing here again?”He had already given the Green Dragon a lot of leeway by sparing Harlow’s life the last time. If Harlow had not learned his lesson and continued stepping on Chase’s toes, Chase would not mind being the bad guy again!If that happened, even Green Dragon would not be able to do anything about it.Harlow replied humbly, “Chief Instructor Collins, what happened last time was entirely my fault. I was the one who didn’t find out the facts before offending you. I apologize for what I did once more.“But this time, I’m here to pass you a message from the Dragon Envoy.”It was clear that this was because of Basalt’s appointment ceremony.The internal members of Basalt were not the only ones filled with respect for Chase. Even Harlow respected hi
“You’re right, Mr. Harrigan.”Jasper acted just like a loyal lapdog.If there were other members of the Martial Arts Alliance around, they would never believe that someone so superior and arrogant would ever look that way.“Come, let’s go in!”Wilfred gave the order and walked into the luxurious villa.Warning alarms rang inside the villa as two strange men barged in.Dozens of bodyguards appeared and surrounded Wilfred and Jasper.The lead bodyguard looked at the two men they were surrounding.He knew that they were no ordinary men when he saw no fear on their faces. He asked, “Who are you both? Why did you barge into the Coopers’ residence?”Both men ignored him.Jasper was not in a hurry to attack the bodyguards. He sneered and said, “Where is the patriarch of the Coopers? Get him to come out here to receive his death!”“How dare you? Who do you think you are? How dare you ask our patriarch to receive his death? Where do you think you are? This is the home of the most inf
After Wilfred and Jasper left, Bianca asked worriedly, “What should we do, Grandpa?”She had no idea what the Coopers should do in such a circumstance.If they told Chase about Wilfred’s challenge to a duel, there would be a fight between them.Chase was too young, and Bianca felt that it would be difficult for him to defeat an experienced veteran like Wilfred.However, if they did not tell Chase about this, the Coopers would be in danger.Bianca could not help suggesting, “Let’s run away, Grandpa.”“Sigh, silly girl. Where could we escape to? Even if we do manage to run away, what will happen to the rest of the Coopers?”William sighed.It was not easy for the Coopers to finally get to the top of South River City’s hierarchy, and it was all thanks to Chase. They were now the most influential family in South River City, but they were immediately threatened by an enemy like Wilfred.William knew very well even when others did not.Those two men had left, but they had made an i
The chief instructor probably only had something to say about just one issue!Chase had given them a show of power the last time they were gathered together this way.Before that, they had gathered when Thomas was still alive.After all, the Four Heavenly Kings obeyed no one before Chase was appointed as the chief instructor of Basalt.“I have no idea why we’re gathered. You’re asking the wrong person.”Inferno gave the person next to him a look.The Four Heavenly Kings were not the only ones in the office. Finn and Iris were present as well.It was clear that Inferno was referring to those two.The others might not be aware, but Inferno knew that both of them were there because the chief instructor was better acquainted with them.Finn and Iris were bewildered to see all of the Four Heavenly Kings present in the office. They had no idea what was going on.Iris suddenly thought of something and asked carefully, “Could this be because of the rumor going around yesterday?”“Wh
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
Chase knew that among all the shadow beasts in the region, these creatures provided the greatest challenge for honing his strength.The more powerful the beast, the stronger its physique, and its blood essence carried immense energy. Consuming it could bring tremendous benefits to a martial god.However, the area where he had just fought was still on the outermost edges of the Forbidden Zone, meaning there were no truly formidable shadow beasts nearby.Another deafening beastly cry shattered the silence, shaking the heavens.A massive shadow loomed over Chase, blocking out the sunlight and forcing him to squint against the darkness.His brows furrowed, and when he looked up, his pupils contracted sharply.A colossal black eagle soared above, its wings flaring like razor-sharp blades, dominating the skies with imperial arrogance.This shadow beast's aura was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary martial god-level beast!It had reached the peak of stage-nine martial god!
"Stay… Stay back!"The white-robed young man was terrified, stumbling backward in panic."What are you all standing there for?! Save me!" He screamed, his voice filled with desperation.Finally snapping out of his daze, the black-robed martial artist lunged at Chase, his palm slicing through the air in a powerful strike. However, he underestimated Chase's strength.With a single impact, the man's entire arm shattered into dust. He let out a miserable scream as his body was sent flying!Chase's attacks were too swift, too fierce. Even with the two of them working together, they could not withstand his power!"Run!"The last remaining martial artist in green robes was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.He turned to flee without hesitation.Chase chased him down in an instant, delivering a powerful whip-like kick that knocked him unconscious on the spot.Then, he grabbed both lifeless bodies and tossed them into the undergrowth. Only after dealing with them did he
Hearing this, Chase immediately understood the situation. They were trying to rob him!He spread his hands casually. "Oh, that thing? I already ate it."Beside him, Emilia nearly burst out laughing. This guy was too good at bluffing!Chase rolled his eyes. "If you want it so badly, why don't you come take it?""You refuse to cooperate? Fine, I'll make you regret it!" The young man in white robes grew furious, his expression turning ice-cold. "You little bastard! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you practice martial arts! If you don't hand it over, I'll break your damn legs today!""Oh? Is that so?" Chase grinned, showing his teeth. "In that case, why don't we spar a little?""You're asking for death!" The white-robed young man charged at him, his companion following closely behind.A terrifying surge of spiritual energy exploded outward.Chase narrowed his eyes. With one punch, he sent both of them flying backward with a loud bang!"W-What?! This is peak… martial god
The young woman's face flushed red as she hastily pulled her collar together, her wary gaze locked onto Chase."Are you a body-refining martial artist? Attacking me like that was despicable, shameless, and downright vile! I'll kill you to uphold justice!" she shouted indignantly.Chase let out a helpless chuckle. "Miss, I just saved your life, yet instead of thanking me, you call me despicable?"The woman stiffened, her lips parting as if to argue. In the end, however, she lowered her head and muttered an apology, "I lost my composure. Please forgive me."After saying this, she retrieved a dagger from her robe and handed it to Chase. Her expression seemed sincere."My name is Emilia Larsen. This was left to me by my parents. Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life. I hope you won't refuse it. This dagger is exceptionally sharp—it can slice through iron like it's mud. Keep it safe and don't lose it.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow as he accepted the dagger, examining
