After exiting the Esoteric Medical Sect, Chase found himself in a desolate mountain range. After surveying the surroundings, he realized it was the same place he had entered before.It seemed that the entry and exit points of the Esoteric Medical Sect's secret realm were fixed.After orienting himself, Chase transformed into a streak of light and left the area.In his mind, he asked Lucas, "Sir, why is the Esoteric Medical Sect’s secret realm fixed while the Dragon Vein Secret Realm follows me everywhere?""I don’t know the exact reason. The Dragon Vein Secret Realm used to be like the Esoteric Medical Sect, always situated in the Collins family's estate in Capital City. This change probably had something to do with Divine Collins." Lucas, who had been in isolation due to the Esoteric Medical Sect matters, quickly responded to Chase's question.Hearing the name Divine Collins again, Chase grew curious. "Sir, who exactly is this Divine Collins?" Although Chase had a vague idea, h
"If you don't have money, why run a restaurant on my turf? Do you have a death wish?" Sal shouted. His kick would have left the owner in pain for days.At that moment, a diner suddenly stood up and positioned himself between Sal and the owner, blocking the kick. The diner was none other than Chase."Hey, how much is the bill?" Chase asked.He arrived at Capital City a day ago but was in no rush to look for Gareth. Instead, he wanted to learn about the local customs, which led him to this small restaurant.He had not expected to encounter such a situation during a simple meal. Chase ultimately intervened with the intention of resolving the conflict peacefully.Sal was shocked that his kick had been blocked by someone who appeared out of nowhere. Not only was his kick stopped, but the numbness in his leg indicated that this person was no ordinary man.However, Sal remained defiant, thinking he had the advantage of numbers.As expected, a green-haired youth in Sal's group shouted
After a while, Chase walked into an alley.Suddenly, a group of people emerged, blocking his path ahead and behind."Kid, you've offended the Heavenly Dragon Clan. Let's see where you can run now!" It was the blond-haired youth speaking, but this time, he was following someone else.The man in front of him wore a martial artist's attire. He appeared to be in his early 40s and had pronounced temples, giving off an intimidating aura."Master Colter, that's him. Not only did he disrespect the Heavenly Dragon Clan, but he also beat us up.""You mean all of you couldn’t handle one kid?""Master Colter, this kid knows some martial arts. We got overpowered, so we asked you to come," the blond-haired youth explained.Hearing this, the man referred to as 'Master Colter' stepped forward and confronted Chase."Kid, if you know some martial arts, you should've heard of me. I'll give you a chance. Kneel before me. If you do, I might let your offense against the Heavenly Dragon Clan slide. O
"And them?" Chase pointed to the retreating figures of the blond-haired youth and his gang."If I’m not qualified to meet the leader, they certainly aren’t either. Sir, if you really want to meet our leader, why not stay at my martial arts school for a while? When the opportunity arises, I can introduce you, and you'll be able to meet the leader," Fenton said eagerly.After witnessing Chase's ability to levitate, Fenton realized he was in the presence of a true master. Seeing how approachable Chase was, Fenton thought that staying close to him and possibly receiving some guidance could significantly elevate his own status."If you haven't met the leader, what about the Eight Dragon Kings?" Chase became interested in these so-called Dragon Kings. If he could not find the leader, meeting a Dragon King might be just as effective."I haven’t met any of the Eight Dragon Kings either," Fenton replied, looking innocent.Chase was disappointed and turned to leave."But I do know some inf
The two disciples looked at the young man before them with suspicion. He was even younger than they were, and they found it hard to believe he was a master. However, out of respect for their master, they reluctantly addressed Chase as 'sir'.Chase did not mind and simply nodded slightly. However, this slight nod sparked some anger in the two disciples.How dare he act so superior?!After exchanging glances, they came up with an idea. One of them spoke up, "Since Master Fenton says you’re a true master, your skills must be extraordinary. Would you mind giving us some pointers?"Before Chase could respond, Fenton said in feigned anger, "How dare you?! A true master’s skills are beyond your comprehension. Apologize immediately!""Master, surely he wouldn’t mind sparring with us. Right, sir?" one of the disciples pressed.Chase could see through their intentions. They simply wanted to test his skills."Martial arts are meant for lethal combat, so it's better not to," he replied.Hi
After speaking, Fenton left.Chase looked over at the two unconscious people in the boxing gym and casually tossed them onto a nearby couch. He then decided to head downstairs to check out the first floor.As he slowly descended, the receptionist greeted him warmly, "Hello, Master Collins!"It was clear that Fenton had informed everyone of his presence before leaving. Chase nodded slightly and walked away.As soon as Chase walked away, a muscular man approached the receptionist. "Winifred, who's that guy? How dare he ignore you?!""He's a friend of Mr. Colter. Mr. Colter brought him back just now. It's so strange. Mr. Colter instructed us to call him 'Master Collins' and to treat him with even more respect than Mr. Colter himself," the receptionist grumbled, clearly familiar with the muscular man.Hearing this, the muscular man became disgruntled. "What’s up with that? Mr. Colter is usually such a nice guy. Do you want me to teach him a lesson? Just promise to have dinner with me
When the muscular man, Egon, made his challenge, the bystanders immediately started talking."Egon is at it again. Everyone knows he's the record holder for weightlifting at our gym.""Yeah, I even heard he was specially invited to join the weightlifting team.""This skinny guy definitely won't accept the challenge."Listening to the chatter, Egon wore a proud expression.He was certain the young man in front of him would not dare accept the bet, leaving him with no choice but to pay up.Weightlifting? Chase smiled, looking at Egon as if he were a fool."Kid, do you have the guts to compete with me? If you’re a man, say something. If not, I won’t ask for much, just a thousand dollars," Egon taunted."I’ll compete with you, but let’s change the bet. If you win, I’ll give you a thousand dollars. If you lose, I don’t want your money. You just need to apologize to me in public," Chase replied calmly while smiling.Not only was Egon taken aback by Chase's agreement, but the bystand
Someone even slapped themselves to make sure they were not dreaming.Egon could not believe his eyes either and kept slapping his own face. The pain clearly reminded him that this was no dream.As Chase set the barbell down and walked over, Egon started to back away."You need to apologize now," Chase said calmly."I... I'm sorry. I misunderstood you," Egon stammered. He knew that if he did not apologize, someone with Chase’s strength could seriously injure or kill him with a single punch.He realized how foolish it had been to think he could teach this man a lesson.Seeing that Egon had apologized, Chase did not press the issue further. After all, this was Fenton's gym.He turned and left the gym, leaving the crowd with his back.Walking down the street, Chase noticed people glancing at him. It was already autumn, and he was still in shorts and a T-shirt. It was not just the clothes on his body as even all the clothes he had stored in his Dragon Emerald were summer attire.He
There was a muffled sound, and the leaf turned into dust. The man's palm was unscathed. All he had was some dust on his sleeve."You…" Chase's eyes widened with great fear. He was aware that all that man had to do was blow some air and Chase would be dead for sure."This can't continue. There'll be hope as long as I'm still alive. I have to leave this godforsaken place right now!" Chase made a quick decision. He stood up right away and made a mad dash for the coastline."Die, you lowly ant!"A roar echoed in the air, and Chase's movement slowed. He felt a chill.A massive power came crashing down like the skyline was collapsing. It suppressed everything in all corners and was suffocating.Chase's knees gave out, his bones cracking. He fell kneeling to the ground. His shoulders were trembling, and he was in great pain."I need to run as far as I can!" Chase was filled with great fear. He gave everything he could to channel true energy and ran crazily to the front."Hmph! Trying
The martial artists who survived in the land where light and dark convened were naturally tainted by evil energy. Their physique would gradually transform, slowly making them a better fit in the nether realm.While within the nether realm, martial artists would experience various hallucinations.They would hear spirits crying and wolves howling. Resentment was everywhere, and evil spirits would constantly appear. That place was covered in dark fog, and spirits roamed. Every corner of it was dangerous and had high death rates. Ordinary people would never dare step into this place.Chase had lived on Earth for 20 years. He trained in martial arts and medical skills from a young age and had seen a lot of this world.However, even he felt a chill down his spine after he was one reading the record on the nether realm."No wonder I keep having the feeling of a mysterious movement at the northeast corner of the martial realm. Could the dark energy from the nether realm have seeped throug
"Unfortunately, we chose to stay behind back then. There's no other way. If we aren't able to stop the balance from being destroyed, the martial realm will meet with catastrophe."All three elders looked at each other and sighed.That was when a skinny middle-aged man suddenly pushed the door open and entered. He gave them a fist and palm salute. "Masters, I have something urgent to report."An emerald slip appeared in the man's hand."Oh? Is there news of the influential families of the martial realm?""I can't believe there's news so soon."All three elders were surprised.It had only been 15 minutes since it happened, and there was already news. That was not easy to obtain.All three elders were top powerhouses with strong capabilities. However, they were hopeful that the news was true and reliable. They took the emerald slip and used the divine sense technique to check the news in it."What?!" "The martial realm's Secret Sect has been destroyed?!"All three of them rais
"I understand it now. This is a spiritual stone tablet with a record of a mysterious Soul Refining Technique!"Chase looked delighted.The Soul Refining Technique was used to refine a person's soul and purify the Origin of the Soul."That's really powerful!"Chase opened his eyes and took a sharp breath. "The things left behind by powerhouses of the nether realm are really incredible. Such treasure is highly valuable. Even a small piece of this would be enough for powerhouses to fight over it!"A notion crossed his mind, and a massive soul energy surged. The spiritual tablet was instantly crushed by the soul energy.The spiritual tablet was crushed to dust and recondensed into an emerald slip that floated in the air. It gradually flew toward Chase."Huh? That isn't right."There was a cold look in Chase's eyes. He discovered a thread of a soul energy's fragment inside the emerald slip.A contorted savage phantom shadow shot out of the emerald slip. It came clawing at Chase wit
"My gosh! How is this happening?!" The skeletal old man panicked. His soul energy sensed that heaven and earth's vitality seemed to be attracted by something when it was around Chase, and it flowed directly into Chase.Meanwhile, the brilliant glow of the sun appeared in the air behind Chase. It burned brightly and blinded those who saw it.A massive Divine Red Phoenix appeared and opened up its wings as it flew in the air. It was ferocious and had an air of danger about it."The Divine Red Phoenix?!"The sight of it put fear in the skeletal old man as his eyes widened. "Who exactly are you?!"Chase ignored him. He had formed into a golden-red phoenix and was emanating a terrifying aura in the air."Burning Sky Technique!"The temperature in the cave suddenly hiked up several hundred degrees due to the burning golden sun. Even the cave walls and ground were melted into lava that started to flow like a river.The skeletal old man screamed in pain as his body turned red instantly
Chase moved extremely fast. He appeared in front of the skeletal old man, who was about ten yards away, in an instant.They were fighting in close combat. Their hands and legs hit and kicked each other as protective energy flew about.Several muffled explosions were heard. It was difficult to determine the victor in this fight."You're at the end of your tethers, little bastard! You're about to die! I'm going to refine you and feed your soul to the Phantom Coffin. You'll be vanquished completely and turned into a part of my body."The skeletal old man held back his head and laughed wildly. His wounds were healing at an incredible speed.Chase's performance in this fight had angered him. He no longer cared about hiding his identity."You want to refine me? You're nothing but a ghost. Are you dreaming?" Chase sneered and suddenly lunged forward."Die!" Chase was quick as lightning as he instantly got close to the skeletal old man. He pressed his palm down on the old man's shoulder
A strange air of authority could be felt coming from him."How did this happen?"The skeletal old man's eyes widened, and his heart beat violently. He was trembling.Chase looked just like a demon king.He took a step forward. The earth and sky tremored as cracks appeared on the ground.Chase's physique suddenly expanded exponentially. His skin was bright red, and his bones seemed to be clanging. A strong dark blood energy flooded out from him.Chase waved his arms about crazily. Explosions went off in the air. Every punch he swung was followed by the terrifying sound of an explosion.The surface of the graveyard collapsed from Chase's savage strength.Chase crushed half the skeletal old man's face with one punch, and the old man's body flew off several yards away.Meanwhile, Chase was suffering from backlash because the true energy reserves within his body had erupted. Bloody arrows began shooting out of him."Only a little of my true energy is left!" Chase said sadly.Even
"You're pretty formidable for a young man. You were actually able to stop the spiritual resentments from going any further. You're a Collins, indeed!"The skeletal old man chuckled. "But that doesn't mean anything. You still won't be able to escape death today!"He crashed the Phantom Coffin viciously toward Chase.Chase grunted coldly and took a step forward. He evaded the Phantom Coffin.He leaped and flew into the air. Chase moved in the formation of an eight trigram and kept shimmering because of his high speed.Chase punched the Phantom Coffin continuously, and it flew off to crash heavily by the feet of the skeletal old man. He jumped at it and evaded the crash in a fluster."My coffin!"He was almost crying.The Phantom Coffin was his most valuable possession. It was built using more than a dozen rare and precious medicinal herbs. He had put a lot of effort into it, but Chase was treating it like a punching bag, denting it all over with his attacks."You're dead!" The s
"Swallow it!"Chase growled. His Sea of True Energy core began to surge and boil. It overwhelmed him like huge waves from the sea, and wisps of silver-white mist steamed from him. The mist gathered to his palm and wrapped the spiritual resentment within it.The silver spiritual spring was the liquid form of the Sky Spirit Energy's essence. It could purify the physique and enhance one's potential. It could strengthen the energy and blood within the body and increase one's cultivation talent."Swallow it!"The silver mist was like a huge vortex which slowly consumed the spiritual resentment.The minuscule purple crystal sword shuddered and tore itself away from Chase's control as it shot into the air above."How is that possible?" Chase's eyes widened. He was stunned.He could sense that the spiritual resentment he had worked hard for days to train had escaped his grip because of the Phantom Sword. It was even rushing toward the outer realm.Chase quickly used his mystical techni
