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
“He’s done for. The hall master of the Martial Soul Hall is going all out. I heard that the Martial Soul Hall is actually a covert assassin organization.”"I heard that too. Legend has it that if one cultivates the Great Void Technique to a great extent, space would become a huge advantage to them. It looks like the legend is true about it. Combine that with their assassination skills and Chase Collins would most probably die in this duel.”"You’re right. Even I won’t be able to do a thing if faced with Chuck Silver’s cultivation combined with his mystical technique.”Everyone on the mountaintop of Dragon Tiger Mountain began discussing this again. Some of the sect elders even warned their disciples, “Never offend anyone from the Martial Soul Hall when you’re out in the world.”…Chuck had now completely melded into the void while up in the air, and he could no longer be seen.Chase tried to sense him but could not detect any sign of him.That was when Caspian shouted a warning
Phineas got anxious."We can’t just get involved in a fight like this, Phineas. Don’t do anything rash. We have to consider the position of the Heavenly Master Mansion.”Pierce quickly pulled Phineas back. He was afraid Phineas might do something he regretted and cause the Heavenly Master Mansion to be destroyed."Please don’t let anything happen to Chase Collins.” Eve began to panic quietly. She had only just managed to digest the fact that it was the legendary Master Collins who had saved her when she saw Chase coughing up blood. She hated the fact that she was not strong enough to save him.Unlike the situation at the mountaintop of Dragon Tiger Mountain, crowds of cultivators were gathered in the middle of the mountain to watch the fight.Among the crowd was a rough-looking face filled with hate. It was Doyle. Even though he could not understand the fight he was watching, he was in a happy mood to see Chase cough up blood.'I didn’t expect you to be Chase Collins. Even though
“There's a chance if I say so!”A thought flashed in Chase’s mind, and his body vanished in front of everyone."Huh? What mystical technique is that? Chase Collins vanished just like that.”"Did a mysterious powerhouse appear to save him?”"That’s the most logical explanation. I can’t believe that there’s a mysterious powerhouse helping him. No wonder he was brave enough to challenge the Martial Soul Hall.”After Chase vanished, Chuck reappeared to send a few sword shadows to stab at where he had disappeared.Even the spectators on the mountaintop of Dragon Tiger Mountain stood up in astonishment.“This isn’t a mystical technique. Chase Collins vanished from this space to enter another space. That’s quite tactical. A marquis of martial arts can’t do that. Even a martial lord or a martial sovereign can’t do that.”The only explanation left was the mysterious powerhouse.Everyone was curious about where Chase had gone.Chase reappeared in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm.He appea
“I’m curious too. What happened within that 15 minutes for Chase Collins to suddenly break through to become a stage-six marquis of martial arts? That’s the same cultivation level as the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall.”An elderly spoke up in an attempt to get other marquises of martial arts to discuss the situation.However, he did not transmit his voice but said it out loud. Every person on the mountaintop could hear him."What? Chase Collins has suddenly achieved a breakthrough?”"Is that true? Did he just become a stage-six marquis of martial arts at such a young age? No, I don’t believe it. It must be fake news.”"He must've gotten some sort of powerful pill. Otherwise, he couldn’t have suddenly achieved a breakthrough. That’s just impossible.”A group of elite geniuses from clandestine sects refused to believe the truth.Chase’s cultivation had already beaten all of them, and he was much closer in power to the veterans in all the major sects than those of this genera
Although there was no physical damage, the soul damage was very real. It was exactly that soul damage that allowed Chase to subdue Walter."Master, has the soul damage on your Greedy Wolf increased again?" Walter asked.Soul damage? How could a blade cause soul damage?Willow and Cyril were both stunned.With their current strength, neither of them had experienced it directly and had no idea that Greedy Wolf had already awakened a spirit—specifically, a star spirit aligned with slaughter.Hearing Walter's question, Chase suddenly recalled that the spirit within Greedy Wolf—Silly Husky—possessed astonishingly strong soul power.When they first met, it had disguised itself as a deadly blade spirit, radiating a terrifying killing intent that had completely fooled Chase.Fortunately, his own soul was resilient enough not to be tricked. He had eventually seen through Silly Husky's bluffing and recognized it as more bark than bite.Now, Chase wondered if Dominic could have been affec
Being the only one who had previously faced Chase's Greedy Wolf, Stone stood frozen in disbelief.He had always believed that as a stage-nine martial god, the gap between himself and Dominic, a peak martial god and an elder of the Nefarious Deity Sect, was merely half a step. Yet now, he had witnessed something that shattered his assumptions.His most powerful dark beast, the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent, was electrocuted to death in an instant. Then, even when he gave it everything he had and struck with Greedy Wolf, he still ended up at a disadvantage.Meanwhile, Dominic had taken on Chase's full three-pronged assault—including a direct strike from Greedy Wolf—with nothing but his bare skull and stood his ground.It was at that moment that Stone finally understood. The gap between him and Dominic was far larger than he had ever imagined.There was simply no comparison.He and Cherry had once considered challenging for the Supreme Elder title at the sect's year-end assembly, ho
This should be easy enough!"You brat! Dying at my hands is your greatest honor. Save your breath!" Dominic shouted as he launched the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist.His body swelled in size, his shirt bursting open to reveal muscles that were as hard as stone. They gleamed under the morning sun. The sight left Willow and Walter utterly stunned.An opponent who exploded out of his shirt right at the start? That was rare enough. However, to see a Supreme Elder doing it against a junior… Was this not a bit overkill?Facing him directly, Chase wore a serious expression. His consciousness detected an overwhelming vitality radiating from Dominic, so dense it even suppressed the aura of killing intent.After easily defeating Stone earlier, Chase's impression of the Nefarious Deity Sect had dropped a notch. He had thought that after so many rounds of body refinement and reinforcement by the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus, his physical strength should be at the top tier.Yet this Dominic, the s
The answer soon revealed itself.A sizzling noise rang out as the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent lunged at Chase with its jaws wide open, clearly intending to end his life in one bite.It thought to itself smugly, 'This fool is too slow. He's dead for sure.'However, to everyone's surprise, the serpent suddenly spasmed mid-air. Electric arcs danced across its scales as smoke began to rise from its body. Twitching uncontrollably, it looked like it had been struck by lightning. It fell straight to the ground like a thick rope within seconds, utterly limp.Stone stood there, dumbfounded.He had not expected his Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent to be defeated so quickly. Sensing that the serpent was now truly and completely dead, his eyes flared with rage.Chase actually dared to kill his dark beast?!His expression turned grim. Black energy spirit surged from his body, and the demon-headed broadsword on his back gleamed with a menacing red light, eager to be unleashed. Even those nearb
Over the years, after being backstabbed by Ricky more times than he could count, Dominic had come to understand that when facing an unknown enemy, it was best to bide one's time and act cautiously."Stone, go test his strength," he ordered."Yes, sir," Stone replied.Dressed in a black robe, Stone rarely spoke, but his towering frame—nearly six foot five inches tall—and the massive demon-headed broadsword strapped to his back made it clear to anyone that he was not someone to mess with.Of course, there was no record of this person in Cyril's sect's registry either. The moment Cyril laid eyes on him, he knew this newcomer was a powerful force.He even considered warning Chase and the others to flee. However, seeing Chase step forward without the slightest hint of fear, he immediately understood that these people who were not listed must have come from a higher realm. He then silently shifted closer to Willow and Walter."Go ahead," Chase said calmly.Though his voice was not l
"I was originally at the martial god level, but after arriving in this world, my strength was suppressed down to martial monarch," Chase explained calmly."So... you came from a world where there's a higher realm?" Cyril was utterly shocked. The events of today had truly broadened his horizons.First, he was betrayed by a fellow outer disciple, then rescued by a stranger, who turned out to be a martial god!"You could say that," Chase replied, not willing to elaborate. After all, this world was only the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore.Whether it was an illusion or a real world created by the Light Divine Pearl, no one could be sure. Everything would have to wait until they reached the ninth level of the defensive formation.Just then, a roaring sound came from the sky. They looked up to see three armed helicopters circling overhead."This is the ground unit. You're surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender immediately, or else—"Before the voice could finish, Cha
After carefully studying the appearances of the three, Cyril sifted through his memory.Before descending the mountain, his nine mentors had compiled a list of the strongest individuals in the current world. It included rankings in combat ability, strategy, physical strength, medical skill, and other crucial categories—listing the top 300 names.Yet he could not find any entry that matched these three people standing before him.That puzzled him greatly. Based on the data his mentors gave him, they had basically covered every top-tier power in the world. For these three to be so powerful and yet completely unrecorded… was hard to believe.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke solemnly. "I'm Cyril Stent, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect. I came down the mountain on my mentors' orders."I didn't expect to run into this mess and drag you all into danger. I truly apologize. As the saying goes, each kind deed should be repaid. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just
"Alright, go ahead," Chase said, noticing Willow's eagerness.After all, throughout their journey, she had spent most of her time being a burden. She probably felt bad about it.Now that she finally had a chance to contribute, of course, she wanted to prove herself—not just to them but to herself. What she did not know was that Chase was also highly skilled in medicine.Willow activated her cultivation technique, her eyes glowing violet. This was the Purple Shadow Divine Eyes, a secret technique from the Evil Shadow Sect's Great Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique.It allowed her to perceive the flow of various extraordinary energies—vital energy, spiritual energy, sick energy, vitality, ghost energy, and more.At this moment, within her field of vision, Cyril's meridians appeared as clearly as if under an X-ray.She suddenly cried out, shutting her eyes tightly as if they were being scorched."What's wrong?" Walter and Chase asked at the same time.Chase quickly focused h
This thing… Was it not the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?Had it reincarnated?What mattered more was that Chase was currently only at the martial monarch level. Now that they were inside a plane, if things escalated even a little, the aircraft would definitely explode. Yet on the other hand, their flying abilities were restricted at the moment, so they were essentially just waiting to die.Chase immediately found himself in a dilemma.While he hesitated, Klondike—also known as the Nine-Sea Giant Squid—extended three or four more tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Cyril. It looked like it was about to stuff him into its mouth. There was no choice. Chase had to go all in.Chase activated the Passive Concentration Technique. On one hand, it hid his spiritual presence from detection, and on the other, it launched a direct soul attack against Mia's group and the Nine-Sea Giant Squid.Then, Greedy Wolf struck.Now that he had reached the martial monarch realm, Chase could control it wi
