"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
Upon hearing Annie's request, the sales assistant's eyes lit up. Serving such a high-profile customer would undoubtedly mean a significant commission.She immediately began clearing the store.In reality, apart from the couple, Chase was the only other customer in the store. The sales assistant rushed over to Chase, "Sir, the store has been reserved. You have to leave now."Before Chase could respond, Wren interjected, "Sydney, this gentleman has already shown interest in this outfit. Can he try it on before leaving?" Wren pleaded.Sydney glanced at the outfit in Wren's hands and then at Chase.With a look of disdain, she said, "Don't bother trying it on. This outfit costs 12 grand. This poor guy can't afford it anyway. Wren, you only managed to intern here because our boss did you a favor. "Get him out of here. If Ms. Kayden gets angry, even I won't be able to protect you."Hearing Annie's name, Wren panicked but still insisted, "Sydney, he's just trying on one outfit. It'll b
Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle
"Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump
"Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was
Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect. He was particularly del
However, the Dark and Light Emeralds' quality was clearly better on the second level than on the first level.If the rumor about this place having nine levels were true, how much more powerful would the Dark and Light Emeralds on the ninth level be?As for Willow and her little gigolo, were they in a hurry to get to the next level because they knew a secret about the ninth level?Ricky's question made him think about this thoroughly.He was impressed.No wonder Ricky was a Supreme Elder. He had such acute observation."Do you mean to say that Willow is in a hurry to get to the ninth level?" he asked the question carefully."Haven't any of you explored the Dark and Light Mineral Ore?" Ricky frowned when he asked this."It's because the Dark and Light Emeralds we found here are only suitable for low-level cultivators, which is why…" Barnabas was embarrassed when he answered."All of you ignored the facts in front of you—the Dark and Light Emeralds, the teleportation doors, and t
Ricky had another thought. It seemed that Willow and the others were in a hurry to get through the teleportation doors. The locations they were sent to were different as well. There was no guarantee that they would arrive at the same place as Willow and the others. Besides that, every level seemed to become increasingly difficult.On the other hand, they had no idea how many levels there were after this. They did not know how many teleportation doors they had to go through.Ricky was hesitant as he looked at the teleportation door that was glowing mysteriously."Why aren't you going inside?" Dominic hurried his old nemesis when Ricky refused to budge."What do Willow and the others want by coming to this place?"Ricky was thoughtful and looked at Dominic to ask the question."What? How would I know? Let's just get this done with. Aren't we here to take the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus? Even if we can't get it, it's also worth it to take his skills and techniques. I'm estimating
"Kill them? No, no, no. I'd never dare do such a thing." The dark sorcerer quickly denied it. He thought that Barnabas and the others were Chase's family and friends when he saw the shocked looks on their faces.No one knew what might happen to him if they mistook him for their murderer."They aren't dead?"Ricky used his consciousness to sense the area. He used his vital energy to pick up the bones and rotting flesh from the ground for closer inspection.The remains looked like they had been there for years. There were also no signs of cultivation on them. Most of the bones and rotting flesh were from the corpses of common men.Dominic inspected them as well and came up with the same conclusion."Tsk… See how much you scared him, Ricky. You shouldn't be so sharp with your questions. Come here, my friend. Tell me where they went."Dominic said to Ricky sarcastically before putting on a friendly face to ask the dark sorcerer.The dark sorcerer looked at the big, plump man and fo
The dark sorcerer began to squirm like a long snake. He had thought the blade would be powerless against him. The dark sorcerer would counter-attack after that and summon the legendary Flame of Destruction to burn those three strange infiltrators to death.Unfortunately, things did not work out the way he planned.Greedy Wolf slashed him at the waist. The dark sorcerer was like a deflated balloon as his black robe fell to the ground. The black silk covering him fell as well, and black smoke wafted from it. His eyes were the only two bright spots left."How is this possible?"The black smoke's form was like the undead they had met before except it was not translucent and had a dark color. It was almost solid.The dark sorcerer's voice was not a sound that was heard in the air. Instead, it reverberated in the minds of Chase and the others.What kind of existence was he?Despite their astonishment, they were not too surprised. Besides the rotting zombie, the undead, the old hag, an
Willow could not let that happen. She forced herself to calm down while pushing it out of her sea of consciousness with great force. She became dizzy and felt like throwing up. It was a similar feeling to getting car sick.She bled from the nose. Her attempt at attacking the tower had caused some damage to her mind and soul."I can't do it. This tower can defend itself against consciousness trying to inspect it," Willow said breathlessly. "Give it up. I'm invincible here!" The dark shadow spoke up once more. Unlike before, his voice seemed to connect directly to everyone's minds.Chase felt a headache. This was only the second level and things had become complicated.He was suddenly impressed by the two people who got to level seven."Stop playing tricks, Dark Sorcerer, or I'll blow up your sorcerer's tower," Chase said grimly. He used the Passive Concentration Technique and the Light Deity Technique to broadcast his words.This dark sorcerer was inclined to use unorthodox te
