Chase did not look interested, and Linus spoke up once more, “If you join the Esoteric Medical Sect, I can even put a stop to your duel with Martial Soul Hall. After all, the Esoteric Medical Sect still has some leverage in the cultivating world.”His words finally got some reaction from Chase.Was the Esoteric Medical Sect that renowned?"Take the offer, young man.”Caspian suddenly spoke up in Chase’s mind."Why?”"The Esoteric Medical Sect can open lots of doors for you in the medical world. They have a good relationship with many clandestine sects because almost all of the pills in the cultivating world come from the Esoteric Medical Sect. Every time they refine pills, the cultivating world will fight over them. "I used up half my fortune back then just to get a pill from the Esoteric Medical Sect. I heard that all you need is one word to get a pill if you’re part of the sect,” Caspian explained.Chase’s interest was piqued when he heard this from Caspian.The price of pi
The trailer of the movie was released with Enola’s song in it, and it trended very quickly online. it helped immensely with gaining exposure for The Extraordinaire."Did my goddess, Enola Langdon, sing that? She can act and sing so well.”"That’s right. She sounds even better than a professional singer.”"She didn’t end up in the music industry because she’s focusing on her acting career. If she were to focus on music instead, she might already have won best singer in the industry.”Enola earned a heap of praise online. Many record companies had contacted Enola privately to try to sign her up as their singer. They even offered huge contracts to her, but Enola rejected all of them.However, Enola was unable to reject Ira’s request and agreed to perform the song at the premiere.She had just walked down the platform when two women in dresses came walking toward her. Their beauty and charm were quite striking to Enola even though she was a woman. Enola did not pay much attention to
“Who's this friend that you’re talking about?” Melody was taken aback and quickly asked."His name is Chase Collins.”Enola did not hide anything and told Melody about him."He’s my boyfriend. Do you know who he is?” Enola wanted to continue claiming that he was her friend but was reminded of the time they had spent together. She suddenly said that Chase was her boyfriend instead.”What? Master Collins is your boyfriend?” The look on Melody’s face changed when she heard that.Everyone in the cultivating world had heard about Chase. News of Chase’s duel with the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall had spread all over the cultivating world. Melody did not think that Chase could win the fight. The hall master had been quiet for years while the previously unknown Chase had just started making a name for himself. It was apparent who was the stronger party."There's no need to ask him anything. You won’t have a boyfriend after tomorrow. It’s just as well. You’ll be able to focus on
All the crowd did was discuss the situation. No one spoke up for the woman at all. The rule about the strongest person having the most power in the cultivating world had not changed at all.It was not important who was morally right or wrong."You have no say in this today. You have to agree to this no matter if you want to or not.”Doyle felt his dignity being challenged when this woman disrespected him in public. He was about to be physically forceful with her.The woman was just a late meridian-opening master and was not Doyle’s match. That was when Chase stepped up and stood between both of them.Doyle stared at Chase, who had suddenly appeared between them, and asked coldly, “What do you mean by this?”Chase spoke out against him, “Nothing. I just don’t like what you’re doing.”Doyle was not able to tell Chase’s cultivation by the way he was dressed. He guessed that Chase was hiding a high-level treasure on him. A young man like Chase could not be powerful enough to fight a
Eve was glad to know that they were not a couple.She was reminded of what happened just now. Eve was supposed to be at Joverton with her master, but Melody had to return to the sect while Eve almost got taken advantage of. Chase saved her in that moment of crisis. Eve thought she would end up falling into the hands of another man.However, her savior did not ask for anything in return and had walked away instead.That was when his handsome face stayed in her mind.It had to be love at first sight.Eve followed behind Chase after that. When she saw there was a woman even more beautiful than her by his side, Eve no longer harbored any hope. However, she now found out that they were siblings."Your surname is the same as the legendary Master Collins. Are you here to watch the fight too?” Eve spoke to them in a friendly manner as if they had known each other for a long time."Yup,” Chase answered but did not reveal who he really was."Do you have a spot to watch the battle closely
“Didn’t you say that he doesn't belong to any sect? What is he doing in the Melody Sect’s territory?”"Master, he really did tell me that he doesn’t belong to any sect. I didn’t lie to you.” Linus looked aggrieved as he hugged his head."How can you believe everything others tell you? Don’t you know how to investigate this on your own?” the old man said with exasperation."Someone must have snatched him up because you were one step behind, Master,” Linus continued giving excuses."You… Forget about it. I’ll deal with you after the fight.” The old man placed one hand behind his back and decided to stop lecturing Linus.They were all at the mountaintop and were within a short distance of each other. It was easy to listen to another’s conversation if one wanted to.Chase knew immediately that the old man had to be the expert from the Esoteric Medical Sect who was looking for him. Chase did not explain things as the duel was about to begin. Everything should wait until after the duel
“What?”Eve exclaimed as she watched Chase walk away. She was shocked as she asked, “Is… Is he really Master Collins?”Everyone watched as a figure slowly floated into the air until he was as high as Chuck. Chase stopped right in front of Chuck."You’re finally willing to show yourself. Is it because I threatened the Heavenly Master Mansion?” Even though it was the first time Chuck had met Chase, he knew who Chase was immediately and began to taunt him."You’re just a stage-five marquis of martial arts. How dare you even show yourself in front of me? It’s pretty arrogant of you to offend the Martial Soul Hall. There is only one way for you to go, and that is to die!” A gleeful look appeared on Chuck’s face. He could sense that Chase was a stage lower than he was, which added to his glee. This was the result Chuck wanted. He wanted to kill this man who dared to challenge the power of the Martial Soul Hall. It would be great publicity for the Martial Soul Hall to punish this man
Chuck was not able to act as relaxed as before. Each punch Chase dealt out sent waves of tremors into the void. Even the void was not able to handle his fist strength.The jaws of the people watching the battle dropped. Many disciples of different sects looked on in disbelief."Isn’t Master Collins a stage-five marquis of martial arts? How is he able to push back the power from a stage-six marquis of martial arts? Could Chase Collins have the Stage-Defying Challenge ability? "That’s impossible. Only one in a million in clandestine sects would be able to have such an ability. He’s just a nomadic cultivator. How could he do it?”"Stage-Defying Challenge? Stop joking. The hall master of the Martial Soul Hall hasn't even shown his real power yet. He’s just doing all of this to tease Chase Collins.”"Chuck Silver might be just waiting for an opportunity to kill him instantly.A man with sharp observation commented truthfully.It was true that Chuck had yet to show his true abilities
What just happened?Willow and the others were completely confused."Let's go. It's all taken care of," Chase called out. With a wave of his hand, a portal appeared beside him.The Lightning Dragon King stood nearby with a forced smile, even making a welcoming gesture."Master, what's going on?" Walter, as the contracted beast, decided it was best for him to ask."I've negotiated terms with the Lightning Dragon King. We can go straight to see Lord Light Divine Pearl," Chase replied with a grin."What?!""Stop that. Move it. If you don't go in now, I'm closing the portal.""Alright, alright! We're going!"They then entered the portal one after another.Just before going in, Lisa curiously glanced at the Lightning Dragon King. This so-called world master, once so high and mighty, now stood like a doorman, ushering them into the gate.For the first time, Lisa realized what it meant when people said that the world was a fickle place. It was almost absurd.Once Chase and his gro
It was just a bit strange. Why would someone like the Light Divine Pearl himself stay tucked away in a corner of the nether realm, never stepping out? There had to be more to the story. Maybe there was some hidden reason?Chase knew he did not have enough information to figure it out right now, so he decided to let it go for the moment. It was better to deal with what was in front of him first."If you kneel before me, won't that grandfather of yours punish you?" Chase asked. His tone was a mix of curiosity, sarcasm, and something else even he could not quite place."He forbade me from addressing him with any honorifics. He just said if I lose, I should hand this thing over to the victor," the Lightning Dragon King replied. He looked genuinely sheepish for once.Chase took in a sharp breath.Forbade?That word carried a lot of weight. It sounded like these descendants of the Light Divine Pearl might not have the most glorious origins, after all. Maybe there was some dark, shamefu
Now, the Lightning Dragon King openly called the Light Divine Pearl by name. It seemed clear that the artifact's existence was known within a specific inner circle judging by how casually he spoke about it."Of course. In fact, I reincarnated from the upper realm. Starting from the seventh level, any creature with intelligence basically knows about the Light Divine Pearl," the Lightning Dragon King explained to Chase."Then why are you so sure that this pearl is useful for me?" Chase asked."Your strength is far beyond mine. That alone is something no native of this realm can possibly achieve. And from how indifferent you've been toward the Dark and Light Emeralds yet so determined to push upward, it's not hard to guess that you must be an outsider."Actually, there were already several groups who came before you," the Lightning Dragon King said with a sigh."Several groups?" Chase raised his eyebrows in surprise.Yet almost immediately, the realization hit him. In the nether rea
The viewing stands of the arena fell into complete silence.Not only the dragons but also the other spectators from different races—many of whom had already moved far away and were ready to bolt at any moment—froze mid-motion.The dragons had ruled this world for thousands of years. Yet now, the world master, ruler of both the realm and the dragon race itself, was kneeling before a human boy barely past his novice years.Was this something anyone expected to see in their lifetime? Not even in their wildest dreams had they imagined such a scene.The shock this brought was no less than taking a full-force hit from the Lightning Dragon King himself.In the main grandstand, the female Poison Dragon stood with her mouth agape. When she finally tried to close it, she realized her jaw had become dislocated. It took her quite a bit of effort, even requiring her vital energy, just to snap it back into place.Holding her cheek, she still could not speak. Was this really the Lightning Drago
The female Poison Dragon stood on the main viewing platform, utterly stunned.Although she had already felt a bad premonition the moment Chase seized the momentum from the Lightning Dragon King, she still could not accept it when that premonition became reality.The Lightning Dragon King—once the embodiment of invincibility in her mind—could not even land a single hit on this unknown human. It shattered everything she thought she knew about the strongest combatants.Could this nobody actually be a visitor from the upper realm? However, did they not say he was from Earth, a place completely barren of spiritual energy?Her heart was filled with doubt and unease. What if this guy actually ended up taking the world master's title?If that happened, it would be a catastrophe for the dragons.She knew, deep down, just how much wrong they had done over the years. Calling it 'corruption' and 'tyranny' would have been putting it mildly.If a reckoning truly came, most of them would not b
As for the last Water Dragon, Lisa, she was completely overshadowed. No one even spared her a glance.Lisa herself had no time to care about how others viewed her. She knew her own strength—or lack thereof. As a small fry, she clearly understood her limits.She absolutely could not defend herself when facing the Lightning Dragon King's strongest attacks. She had to rely on Chase and the others.Hence, she merely revealed her true form, then deployed her vital energy shield and defensive treasures. After that, she huddled behind the others, trembling with fear.After a long charge-up, the Lightning Dragon King launched his attack. Electricity sparked in his eyes, and divine thunder rumbled in his mouth."Die!" he bellowed.With that thunderous roar echoing through the sky, countless thunder balls rained down like hail toward Chase and the others. Electric light flashed, and thunder boomed across the arena. Most spectators could no longer see or hear clearly.The scene was so inte
The Lightning Dragon King knew he could not let Chase go on like this. He immediately activated Electric Eyes.Spheres of lightning circled around him, and bolts of electricity flickered fiercely. The thunder, which had previously faded, now roared once again throughout the arena.This time, the lightning was no longer in the sky; it surged entirely around the Lightning Dragon King himself. His momentum returned in an instant."Well done, Lightning Dragon King!""He's truly worthy of being the pride of our clan!""He's the glory of the Lightning Dragon bloodline! The other branches should stop trying to take credit. The Water, Fire, and Poison martyr spirits were all beaten like dogs earlier. It's now up to our Lightning Dragon King to reclaim our dignity!""Oh please, didn't the Lightning Dragon martyr spirits also get defeated by this guy? The Lightning Dragon King is strong because he's strong, not because of you nobodies in the Lightning Dragon line.""Exactly! When we lose,
Although Lisa was a dragon herself, she had long suffered under the oppression of the Poison Dragon branch. The Lightning Dragon King had never made any effort to investigate or deliver justice.She had come to see the true nature of the dragons for what it was because of this. They were just a bunch of selfish tyrants carving out their own kingdoms by relying on brute strength. Any illusion of nobility had long since crumbled.After witnessing Chase step up for her, her admiration for humans only deepened. Now, she felt nothing but shame as she listened to the audience spew insults, threats, and jeers at Chase. She was ashamed to be one of them.The Lightning Dragon King watched as the audience reacted to his dramatic entrance. He was reminded of his own noble identity and felt extremely satisfied.If Chase's influence was allowed to grow any further, his chances of retaining his role as the world master would shrink by the day.Now, the tide had halted. He decided to strike whil
Yet Chase had actually passed four levels in just one day. His strength was so formidable that it almost defied belief."Where is he from? Which sect does he belong to? Why have I never heard of him before?" Carla frowned and asked."He came from Earth. Apparently, he's here to look for his sisters," Sierra replied.Though she was not powerful herself, the Evil Shadow Sect excelled in mind and soul techniques. They were experts when it came to tracking and gathering intelligence. She had managed to dig up quite a bit of information."Earth? That trashy place? Its power level has always lagged behind the nether realm. How could a top-tier cultivator suddenly emerge from there? And what kind of excuse is 'looking for his sisters'? Unless…"Carla suddenly thought of something."Is there something special about his sisters? The only ones who need special women are from the Nefarious Deity Sect. They're good at corpse refinement and often need bodies with rare constitutions. Besides,
