Seamus did not insist further and left a remark before following the others inside.“Nothing will go wrong, right?” Seeing that he and the others were left behind, Liam expressed his concern.After all, it was his idea to involve the mayor.“Don't worry. The entire Telferry Pavilion is surrounded by the police. Not even a mosquito can escape. No matter her abilities, Myra can’t flee from this. Just wait and watch the drama unfold!” Renee said with a sinister tone.She clearly hated Myra to the extreme,Liam thought about it and thought her words to be true....The walk was short, and soon, Tobias led the group to the courtyard where Chase and Myra were.Upon seeing those two figures, Agatha's expression changed.She thought to herself that this was bad. Chase was also here.The mayor felt the same. He had attended Basalt's inauguration ceremony a few days ago and recognized the young man's identity immediately.It was Chief Instructor Collins!Had he known that it was the
"I know all of you aren't convinced, but you must understand that Myra's ability to become the Lady of Camland is not due to her relationship with me but due to her own strength," Chase declared."If any of you doubters think otherwise, you're welcome to challenge her. If any of you can defeat her, I'll support that person as the Lord or Lady of Camland without a second thought."Upon hearing the skepticism from the mayor and Seamus, Chase merely gave them a brief look. Unlike those worthless heads of households, these two actually had the courage to question him despite his imposing presence.They were truly fitting for officials of Camland.Only those with some backbone could hold such positions.In contrast, the group of magnates led by Agatha appeared completely subservient, which only cooled Chase's gaze further."Is that so?"Before anyone else could react, Agatha immediately seized the opportunity.A chance like this would only come once in a lifetime.In front of the
As soon as Liam said these words, the onlookers gasped in shock."What?! So young and already a mid-stage strength-dissolving master? The Wallaces are destined to prosper!""Indeed, to become a mid-stage strength-dissolving master at such an age is rare even among the ancient and mysterious martial families," commented some martial artists among the crowd."Myra, you should just concede. Let us keep the peace. As long as you come back now, you'll still be my granddaughter," Agatha said, brimming with confidence. She even offered once more for Myra to return to the Wallaces.In any case, Myra’s brother was still Chase.It would be better to keep Myra by her side.She then glanced toward the depths of Telferry Pavilion. She knew that Myra would surely lose. Surprisingly, Chase had not come to watch the duel.‘This is better. It saves us the trouble of any interference,’ she thought.Facing the smug expressions of the Wallaces, Myra remained unfazed and coldly delivered her challe
During her military career, Myra had developed an aura of intimidation.As everyone met her icy gaze at that moment, not a single person dared to look her in the eye. Even the mayor, Seamus, and the others could not help but feel genuine respect for her. They abandoned any previous condescension.She was indeed Chase's sister.Without Chase needing to intervene, she managed to dominate everyone here on her own.With such capability, why not simply acknowledge her as the Lady of Camland?Not to mention, she was backed by the entire Basalt organization!"Salutations to the Lady of Camland!" the mayor, having understood these points, was the first to salute respectfully."Salutations to the Lady of Camland!" Seamus followed suit immediately."Salutations to the Lady of Camland!" Led by the mayor and Seamus, the rest of the attendees followed in offering their respects."Remember, my name is Myra Kollins of Camland. You may all disperse now," Myra stated coldly.As the elites d
Seeing that Bianca seemed to be holding something back, Chase did not press further and changed the subject. "Let's all go out to eat together and not trouble Miss Julia.""Alright, let's do as Chase says."Julia was delighted. Since her recovery, she had not been out very often. Not only was Chase back today, but Myra was with him as well, so she was naturally eager to go out.They chose to dine at the South River City Hotel.On the way there, Chase intended to call Sam to catch up and inquire about the Coopers' situation. Yet unexpectedly, the call did not go through.Chase did not dwell on it and led everyone directly to the restaurant in the South River City Hotel."Miss Julia, Myra, order whatever you like. I'll be right back." Chase left them with that and headed straight to the most luxurious Imperial Banquet Hall on the hotel's top floor.Sam was always one to indulge in luxury, and Chase knew it all too well.Just as he reached the top floor and before even getting clo
Just as they were about to make their move, a loud bang resonated.The two skinny doormen were sent flying into the banquet hall. They had turned into corpses. This sudden scene startled everyone present.After recognizing the newcomer as Chase, Sam quickly cautioned, "Sir, be careful!""How dare you?!"The two men in the banquet hall were enraged, and they charged at Chase.Chase instantly moved beside Sam, shielding him from the assailants before they could react. He helped Sam up and checked him for injuries. Then, he turned to face the remaining two men in the hall."Jayden, he called that man 'sir.' Could it be—""It must be him. How else could he have so easily dodged our attacks?" the two men whispered among themselves."Master Collins, right? We're from the Martial Arts Alliance. Since you're here, this will be easier."Quickly have your lackey vacate dozens of his best rooms. Many of our brothers from the Martial Arts Alliance want to come and watch your challenge
If Chase had not been there, the South River City Hotel would have changed owners.The look in Chase’s eyes turned increasingly cold after listening to Sam’s explanation.It had to be the same with the Coopers.How brazen of them to threaten Chase’s people!At the thought of Julia and Myra still inside the restaurant, Chase got Sam to rest and recuperate while deciding to observe the situation silently. He went off to meet up with Julia and Myra.…“Hi, pretty lady. My name is Jayden Sheldon, and you are…?”This man was Jayden Shelman.After escaping from the hotel’s rooftop, Jayden got his juniors to quickly contact the elders while he kept watch at the hotel.He did not expect to see a gorgeous woman in the hotel’s restaurant. She looked pristine and pure, and he could not turn his eyes away from her.A woman like that would be particularly exciting to have.Myra looked at the unwelcome guest in front of her and said coldly, “I’m Myra Kollins. Is there anything you need?”
When the people nearby saw this, everyone immediately made space and gathered around them instead.That was then when Chase arrived at the restaurant.When he saw everyone gathering at his table, he wanted to squeeze through the crowd to get to it.“Stop squeezing to the front. Mr. Jayden is conducting business. Just watch and don’t infuriate him or you’ll regret it.”Someone from the crowd stopped Chase in an attempt to get Jayden’s attention.“Get out of the way. I’m with them."The person immediately made way for Chase when he heard this.“Julia, Myra. Are you alright?” Chase quickly approached them and sat down. He held each of their hands and comforted them.He was particularly worried for Julia as she seldom went out since being cured. He was worried about her getting agitated.“We’re fine, Chase.” Julia held his hand tight. She was trembling slightly.It was clear that she had been frightened.Myra leaned in close to whisper in Chase’s ear.Jayden watched as this gor
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
