"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
Even the two sales assistants were envious upon hearing Annie's offer. Chase could secure such a reward simply by accompanying her to a birthday party! It was enough to make anyone green with envy.To everyone's surprise, Chase coldly said, "Get lost."Annie froze on the spot, and the two sales assistants were equally stunned.The man beside Annie shouted in a shrill voice, "Do you even know who you're talking to? This is the third daughter of the Kayden family, a family most people in Capital City can only dream of associating with! "How dare you disrespect her? Do you even want to continue to mingle in Capital City?"The man seemed more enraged than Annie herself."How ridiculous. If you choose to debase yourself, that's your business. Don't assume everyone else is like you," Chase replied. Without waiting for a reaction, he walked past them to Wren."I'll take ten of these outfits.""What?" Wren was momentarily confused."Is there not enough stock?" Chase asked, puzzled.
When Chase returned to the gym, Fenton had already come back. Seeing Chase, Fenton hurriedly and respectfully invited him upstairs.On the second floor, Fenton's two disciples had already woken up. Although their faces were still bruised, their true energy had become much stronger, indicating significant progress.Their attitudes toward Chase had drastically changed. Now, they greeted him with utmost respect, calling him 'Master' and even serving him beverages without any embarrassment."Tell me, what was the outcome of your visit?" Chase asked, waving the two disciples away before addressing Fenton.Fenton looked ashamed, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking honestly, "Master Collins, I went to the Salvatores' residence today. I didn't even get through the door before their people stopped me outside. Eventually, they even drove me away."Seeing Chase's expression darkening, Fenton quickly added, "Although I didn’t get inside the Salvatores' main gate, I managed to get a
"Castiel can only rely on his own luck now. Ivana, we should leave," Turk, the white-robed man, sighed."I suppose there's no other choice," Ivana replied, casting one last glance in the direction Chase had flown. There was a hint of reluctance in her expression.In the end, she activated her movement technique and soared away.Turk had been paying close attention to Ivana. When he noticed the lingering look in her eyes as she gazed after Chase, his expression darkened, though his thoughts remained unreadable.Once Ivana had taken flight, Turk flicked his fingers, sending a small black sphere rolling into the cave before he turned and departed.Not long after, Chase reappeared."Interesting," he mused, watching the direction Ivana and Turk had gone. A smirk played on his lips.With his heightened spiritual awareness, his perception far surpassed others of his level. The two stage-three martial god weaklings were nothing to him.After confirming that they had truly left, he step
Four black tentacles shot out from the cave, heading straight for the four of them.The boorish man, still reeling from his earlier clash with Chase, had no time to react before the tentacles wrapped around him. He let out a series of agonized screams as he was dragged into the depths of the cave.The white-robed man and the woman in purple stood farther away and managed to dodge the attack, their figures flashing as they leaped to safety.Chase, however, remained in place, completely entangled by the tentacles.The white-robed man halted, initially showing concern for the boorish man being captured. But upon seeing Chase ensnared as well, his expression shifted to delight. He assumed the beast would eliminate this troublesome opponent for him.Yet despite the tentacles stretching taut, Chase remained utterly unmoved. It was as if he had taken root in the ground.Feeling the strength of the tentacles, he realized they were far more powerful than those that had restrained the boor
What?!Chase felt incredulous.He dodged the attack and retreated about three feet away."What is this?!" Chase asked."Did you release monsters into this cave?" the woman in purple yelled angrily with her sword raised in the air."Monsters?" Chase glanced at the cave entrance in bewilderment. He saw a long, black tentacle appear from the cave as it reached out for the woman."Look out!" The two men behind the woman shouted as they defended her at the same time.Sword stances filled the air as the man in white helped the woman stop the tentacle. The boorish man picked up his blade and leaped into the air. He slashed down the back of the tentacle.Black-colored blood splattered onto a rock. Hissing sounds were heard coming from the plants as holes appeared in them due to the corrosion. There was lethal venom in the monster's blood.Chase was shocked to see this. The wailing he heard must have come from the monster. It looked quite powerful. He felt lucky about not entering the
Chase opened his eyes. His clothes had been wet but were now dry.He channeled his skills, and strength circulated him. He got rid of all impurities and felt invigorated.After that, he stopped using his skills and punched into the air using pure physical strength. He could vaguely hear the sound of a sonic boom.The effects of the Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill on body refinement were not bad at all. He estimated that he could achieve an upper level if he could take another three to five more pills.It seemed like a visit to the Nefarious Deity Sect was now inevitable.Chase turned to leave.Right after leaving, dark smoke began to billow from the middle-aged man's corpse, forming into a man. "Damn it. I can't believe I can only escape using Nefarious Deity Form. But I've managed to obtain your mind and soul's aura. The next time we meet, I'll make sure you'll suffer a fate worse than death. I won't let you die so easily."The man, who was in Nefarious Deity Form, began to glow green
The man was only at stage three, where each punch possessed a weight of 30,000 pounds.Besides that, as the Nefarious Deity Sect's signature fist technique, it possessed the Nefarious Deity Energy. It could invade the opponent's spirit and soul upon contact.It was also the perfect complement to the Nine Mirage Ecstasy.However, Chase seemed completely unaffected. He seemed to have managed to defend himself against that punch.The middle-aged man knew that he had lost all opportunity at survival when he failed to hurt Chase with the punch. He quickly maneuvered to defensive mode. Black smoke billowed from his body and formed into a protective armor around him."Nothing but a party trick!"Chase checked himself for any injuries caused by the man.Thirty thousand pounds worth of strength was nothing but a drizzle to him.As for the Nefarious Deity Energy and harm that came with it, Chase was now able to withstand the evil power after using the Thunderfruit Core to strengthen his
The middle-aged man was scared speechless after witnessing Chase brutally kill the muscled man. He kneeled right away to beg for his life."Please let me off! I still have Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill that's perfect for martial nirvanas to refine their physiques. It's what you need right now."Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?Chase frowned. He was aware that normal monsters and medical herbs did not have much effect on martial nirvanas who were also body refining cultivators.He knew that a Steel Dragon Tiger Pill was a unique profound-grade pill that was refined with an exclusive method that combined the Steel Technique with ingredients such as a dragon or tiger monster's inner core, dragon and tiger bones, and other rare supplements. It was refined using a special flame and required 49 days to complete. It could enhance one's physique tremendously.However, what was a Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?"What's the difference between your Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill and the Steel Dragon Tiger Pill?" C
There might only be a difference of one word between martial gods and martial nirvanas, but both were totally different concepts."Cut the crap! I'll show you the holy technique of the Nefarious Deity Sect!"The muscled man suddenly put his hands together, and a ghostly wail was heard echoing in the air. A savage spirit appeared. It was holding a rusty, iron sword in its hand. It was filled with a murderous rage as it lunged at Chase."Possession Technique?" Chase's eyes narrowed. He was not a stranger to such unorthodox techniques. He had even fought numerous people using such techniques."Die!" the man roared as he controlled the spirit. A black sword flash tore through the air as a chilling glint came slashing at Chase."That's nothing." Chase shook his head and flung out a silver needle.The silver needle shot through the air and went between the eyes of the spirit. Blood splattered instantly as the spirit's massive body evaporated. It formed into a wisp of green smoke and va
Chase had not gone far when he heard a furious roar. A dark figure lunged right at him for the kill.It was a ferocious black wolf that had fur as dark as ink and extremely sharp teeth."How dare a mere stage-four martial nirvana monster ambush me?" Chase grunted coldly and moved his arm. A bronze saber appeared in the air, and a slash was heard. Just like that, the wolf was sliced into two.The wolf was left with half a body. Its soul appeared from the other side of its body, and it vanished instantly."Huh? It still managed to escape?!" Chase frowned. The look on his face suddenly changed as he ran toward the valley.A loud explosion was suddenly heard. It was as deafening as an avalanche.He saw a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke appear in the air as stone and dust flew about. Numerous trees collapsed while bushes were flattened."Haha! I've finally caught you, you rat!" A sinister laugh was heard. A muscled man in armor walked out as he stared at Chase coldly. He had a huge bu
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
