Jasper finally remembered where he had seen Chase before. Their family’s Supreme Elder had a portrait of him when he was about 11 or 12 years old!Although 12 years had passed, one could still see some resemblance upon closer inspection.At this moment, only one word flashed through Jasper's mind—run! He had to find a way to escape from here, return to the family, and quickly inform the Supreme Elder!The fact that Chase had ventured into Chitara alone at this moment was the best opportunity to kill him.As long as he was killed, everything could be salvaged!Chase took in the reactions of the four men.In an instant, Chase appeared in front of Jasper."You recognized me, huh?" Chase's smile at this moment seemed like a Grim Reaper's to Jasper."N-No, no, I didn't." Jasper could hardly articulate his words at this moment."Then why are you so afraid?""T-That's not it. Your strength is stronger than mine. This is just a natural reaction." The more Jasper tried to pretend to
"You're so noisy!" After Chase spoke, a burst of true energy shot out from his fingertips.Paxton's mouth hung open, but before he could say anything, he had already ceased to breathe."Now, there are only three of you left!"As soon as he said this, Calvin thrust a hand blade through Dexter's chest.Before dying, Dexter's face was full of disbelief. "Y-You..."As Dexter breathed his last, Calvin pulled out his blood-stained hand and approached Eric."Cal, you can't kill me. We're good friends, and my dad is the richest man in Chitara. You can't kill me, Cal." Eric was still struggling in his dying moments.However, these words did not sway Calvin's heart.Seeing that his words had no effect, Eric reached for a pistol from his waist and pointed the black muzzle at Calvin.‘In such close proximity, the pistol should work,’ Eric thought.However, he underestimated Calvin's strength.As an ordinary person, Eric had no resistance against Calvin. Even though he held a pistol, he
"Are you implying that you can come and go freely?" Chase asked."Exactly. In fact, if you really only want to deal with the Shelmans and the Shelmans’ Supreme Elder, I and the other three ancient martial arts families would be happy to see it happen."For so many years, the Shelmans have been the dominant family. Openly and secretly, they've long coveted the other three ancient martial arts families. Many true masters from the three ancient martial arts families have died or disappeared, mostly at the hands of the Shelmans. "We were angry but did not dare to speak out. There are even rumors that the Shelmans are backed by powerful figures, so we dare not act recklessly," Calvin revealed many of the Martial Arts Alliance's secrets in one breath."Let's go to your place, the Huntington residence," Chase suggested."Master Collins, does this mean you're allowing me to follow you?" Calvin asked eagerly."Let me assess you first," Chase replied with a slight smile, not rejecting the
"I killed them all!" Chase did not think to conceal it, and he said it outright."Alright, you killed them," Lola responded with a knowing smile.Seeing her expression, Chase was speechless for a moment. Nowadays, it seemed like nobody would believe the truth."According to Calvin, you’re planning to deal with the Shelmans and Martial Arts Alliance's master. Can you tell me why, Master Collins?" Lola asked, changing the subject."Revenge!" Chase's expression turned serious as he responded with just one word."If it's revenge, then the Huntingtons are willing to lend you a hand. As Calvin may have told you, my eldest brother was killed by that old fool, Callum. That old scoundrel, Chester Shelman, is also the one responsible for my poisoning," Lola said with gritted teeth, recalling the events."Can I take a look?" Chase had initially thought Lola was injured, but it seemed he had guessed wrong. It was poison."Forget it. This poison has penetrated deep into my bones. All the top
It did not take long for Chase to arrive at the location.The security guard was dozing off in the guardroom, oblivious to Chase's arrival.Chase did not find it unusual and proceeded inside.Which floor was it again?Chase was fretting over the exact location when he noticed two burly men escorting a young woman out of a residential building.The woman was clearly Enola.What a coincidence!Chase casually approached them.The two burly men did not panic when they saw someone approaching them in the middle of the night."What are you guys doing?" Chase asked, pointing at the two."Ah, she's just a little drunk, you know," one of the men said with a smirk, acting like Chase should understand."I don't understand. You'd better let her go!" Chase said sternly.He simply did not understand such actions. He refused to participate in this!"Buddy, stop meddling in other people's business!" the other man threatened as Chase insisted on intervening."I have a kind heart. I can't
"Is the entertainment industry always this chaotic, with people showing up at the door and bringing guns?" Chase joked, attributing it to the chaos in the entertainment industry."Chase, have you been busy these days?""Why?""Would you be my bodyguard for a few days? I'll cover your meals and accommodation, and you can name your salary!""You can cover my meals and accommodation, but no sleeping together, okay?""Do you agree?""Well, are you going to kick me out and have me go to a hotel in the middle of the night?""I'll go tidy up the room for you!"As if she had won a battle, Enola completely forgot about the scene from before.…The night passed without incident. The next day, Enola took Chase to the company.The company where Enola worked was the well-known entertainment company, Telcent Entertainment. They had signed many A-list celebrities. Enola could only be considered moderately popular among them."Hey, isn't this our superstar Miss Enola? Why did you bring an
Enola exclaimed in mid-air, but she could not do anything to save herself in this situation. The force of gravity was fully evident at this moment.At this sudden turn of events, the director and the actors acting alongside Enola were stunned. All that remained among the onlookers was gasps.This was bad!If Enola died on set, then this show was probably done for.The director would be liable for massive damages.Chase did not have time to think much. He appeared below with a flash, leaping up to catch the falling Enola.The two slowly descended from mid-air, leaving everyone in awe.It took a moment for someone to react."What's going on? Props team, what are you doing? How could a wire break like this on the set of a period drama? Do you even want to work here anymore?!" The director exploded."Enola, are you okay?" After venting his anger, the director ran over to check on her."Mr. Calder, I'm fine." Enola regained her composure."That's good, that's good," the director
The director quickly walked over to Enola."Enola, is this your staff member? Introduce him to me.""Mr. Calder, you've misunderstood. He's just filling in as my bodyguard. Actually, he's my friend," Enola hurriedly explained. "Chase, this is Mr. Calder, a famous director in the industry.""Chase, my boy, would you be interested in acting?" Asher Calder politely asked upon learning that Chase was not a staff member."I'm not interested," Chase replied lightly. Hell no. After seeing how cramped the set was, he could not imagine himself acting."Mr. Calder, you shouldn't just pick anyone to act. It's not like everyone can act." At that moment, an untimely voice spoke up.It was Darius. He was accompanied by a striking woman by his side. "Yes, Mr. Calder. Let me call a friend from the industry to save the day. After all, it's the role of the male lead. We can't just pick anyone," Zara Bateman added, trying to persuade Asher."Chase, if it's a matter of compensation, you don't hav
Despite his recent breakthrough, Chase's attention was drawn elsewhere. He was more concerned that the corpse of the massive Ghost Boar had been completely devoured!Not just that, but three other Ghost Boar carcasses nearby had also been torn apart, likely taken down by someone else."Since I'm already here in this valley, I might as well take a look."Muttering to himself, Chase's figure flickered, and he rushed down from the hilltop in the next instant.One of the remaining Ghost Boars let out a violent roar the moment Chase appeared.His expression remained calm. With a swift motion, he swung his fist downward.A deep, muffled impact echoed.The Ghost Boar staggered backward with blood seeping from its mouth!Enraged, the Ghost Boar howled and charged straight at Chase, aiming to ram into him with its massive bulk.Chase's eyebrow twitched as he effortlessly dodged aside.Then, in one fluid motion, he leaped onto the boar's back, grabbing a fistful of its bristly mane bef
Chase lifted his leg and kicked a Ghost Boar into the air.On the other side, a towering Ghost Boar charged at him, its body covered in thick armor-like skin. Even for Chase, taking it down in one strike would not be easy."Get lost!" Chase snorted coldly, delivering a sharp palm strike to the boar's neck. He sliced it clean through, severing its entire arm!The Ghost Boar shrieked, stumbling away in agony. However, Chase chased it down, stepped on its tail, and twisted hard.A piercing wail echoed through the battlefield.Grabbing the boar's tail, Chase swung it into the ground, shaking the earth beneath them. At that moment, several more Ghost Boars approached, but this time, they halted their advance. Standing three feet away, they refused to take another step forward."What's this? You're afraid now?" Chase smirked.Despite his fierce battle, he had exhausted a great deal of energy. His true energy was nearly depleted. He needed to replenish it.One of the smaller, weaker G
"You're just a mere beast! Get lost!" Chase let out a sharp breath, kicking the Ghost Boar in the stomach.The boar let out a miserable shriek, its body hurtling dozens of feet away. It smashed through countless ancient trees before it finally came to a stop.Suddenly, from atop a small hill, a snow-white fox with wings sprouting from its back lunged toward Chase. Its presence was even more menacing than the Ghost Boar's, and its speed was terrifyingly fast.The moment it opened its mouth, razor-sharp teeth gleamed like knives, ready to tear him apart.It moved too fast! In the blink of an eye, it closed in on Chase, its fangs already aiming for his throat!Just then, a fair hand smacked down on the fox's head. With a single slap, Chase sent it soaring through the air! He felt a rush of excitement in his chest."What incredible strength!"This was the first time he had executed a martial technique.Yet even relying solely on his physical body, he could tell that he had grown tw
Chase had indeed spotted a treasure, but he also sensed the danger that came with it. He did not dare to act rashly, fearing that he would not be able to withstand its power and might lose his life instead."Heavenly treasures like this often contain immense energy fluctuations. This orb… It might help refine my true energy and strengthen my martial veins…""This brat… He's still alive?" Just as the warrior was about to continue his hunt, he was stunned to see the supposedly unconscious Chase slowly getting back on his feet, staggering toward him."You're still standing?" His brows furrowed in surprise before his expression turned cold."Well, since you survived, I'll use you as a sacrifice!"Before the words even fully left his mouth, his steel whip lashed out, streaking through the air like a venomous serpent, striking straight at Chase's throat!"You're courting death."Chase let out a cold laugh, his hand shooting out to seize the whip. With a forceful yank, he sent the warr
Suddenly, a terrified howl echoed from deep within the forest. A white blur shot out from the trees, fleeing in panic. It was a gray wolf—one of the jungle's fastest predators.The moment Chase saw it, his expression shifted sharply. Without hesitation, he activated Wind Stride, his figure flickering as he dodged the incoming attack from the wolf beast.The young warrior riding the panther beast caught sight of the commotion by the riverbank. His gaze sharpened."A stray mutt dares to steal my food?"He spurred his mount forward, raising his arm. His spear lunged forward like a venomous serpent, streaking toward the riverbank."Get lost!"Chase's heart pounded. With no time to think, he clenched his iron fists and swung with all his strength.The spear snapped in two. A sharp, numbing pain shot up Chase's arm as his palm was torn open with blood dripping from his fingers.The mounted warrior smirked, his lips curling with mockery."A mere mortal dares to challenge my spear?" H
"Such immense power!"Chase was shocked.The icy force radiating from the lady was far stronger than anything an ordinary martial god-level expert could unleash. It was so overwhelming that his body could barely withstand it.Yet he refused to retreat.He sensed that this cold energy was tempering his body, strengthening him in ways he had not anticipated. Most importantly, it provided a perfect contrast—he needed an abundance of light energy to harden his essence and refine his martial spirit."Break!"With a furious roar, Chase ignited his true energy, sending it surging through his veins and meridians.A wave of scorching power erupted from within, forcefully expelling the icy force from his body. A thin layer of frost coated his skin but melted away in an instant."As expected of a martial nirvana-level martial technique… It's incredibly powerful!"Chase was thrilled.This secret art was astonishingly effective. If he trained with it consistently, his body would transform
The moment Chase swallowed the spiritual fruit, it should have been absorbed and neutralized by his body's energy. Yet the instant it entered his stomach, an unbearable wave of heat surged through him.His blood boiled, and his entire body felt as if it were roasting inside a furnace. He was in such excruciating pain that he could not even call for help.Had his constitution not been extraordinary, the sheer explosive force of this single fruit would have been enough to kill him dozens of times over."That was too close!" Chase let out a sigh of relief.This spiritual fruit contained a potent toxin—he had nearly died just now.It was called the Crimson Gold Poison Fruit, and once ingested, not even a martial god could survive."Well, at least this saved me some trouble. Who knows what other monsters might be lurking beneath these waters?"He stood up and circulated his true energy, using it to dry his soaked clothes.As his legs remained submerged in the lake, a bronze-colored
At that moment, a golden glow flickered within Chase's storage ring.A small, round pearl, no larger than a thumb, emerged and floated into his palm."A Dragon Pearl?"Chase frowned. The Dragon Pearl was entirely golden as if forged from pure gold. Inside, a miniature flood dragon's silhouette seemed to coil and shift."How did this Dragon Pearl end up in my storage ring?"He hesitated for a moment before realization struck."It must have been absorbed when I killed that flood python. The energy wave must have drawn out the essence of its body, making this pearl emerge on its own."Since the Dragon Pearl had already appeared, it meant the flood python's flesh and blood essence had been completely exhausted, leaving no more hidden treasures to extract.Even so, Chase did not leave immediately. He cautiously scanned the area, ensuring there were no lurking dangers. Only after confirming his safety did he dive into the dark waters below.Beneath the surface, a school of fish sens
Chase's figure glinted in the air as he evaded the attack of the venom. He reached out and grabbed a Ganoderma in his hand.The Ganoderma was light green and had a soft fragrance.Chase sniffed it and was immediately refreshed and energized. He felt great all over."This Ganoderma is really effective!" Chase's eyes brightened.He continued punching with both fists and exerted great strength as he attacked wildly.An explosion was heard as Chase swept a kick that struck the python on the abdomen.There was a loud bang, and the sound of bones cracking was heard. This massive creature had been beaten to a pulp by Chase.Chase breathed heavily as he turned to look at the black-striped crocodile.This crocodile was harder to deal with compared to the python. Even though Chase could easily beat back this ferocious beast, he would not be able to kill it."Looks like I need to use an ultimate technique…"Chase slowly closed his eyes. A technique appeared in his mind as he channeled t
