The price of the Formation-Breaking Flags soared to an astonishing level and was ultimately purchased by a mysterious figure with a concealed aura for 3,000 spiritual stones.Lennox promptly began introducing the next auction item.As the auction continued, many valuable items were presented. There were defensive artifacts capable of withstanding attacks from martial lords and lethal poisons that could kill martial lords.Eventually, the auction finally reached its climax. Lennox raised his hands to signal the crowd to quiet down before he slowly announced, "Next, we have the final item of this auction. You all must have heard about it by now. I won’t waste words—it's the Breakthrough Pill. The bidding starts at 2,000 spiritual stones. Bid as you please."When Lennox was done speaking, the hall fell into silence, with only murmurs breaking the quiet.After a moment, someone finally spoke up, "Mr. Cooper, you should provide an introduction, or we might mistake it for the Breakthrou
With the five influential families competing, ordinary people did not dare participate. Even several clandestine sects found themselves financially inferior to the influential families of Capital City.It became clear that whoever secured the Breakthrough Pill would essentially take control of the new secret realm. Consequently, the five major families were unwilling to give up, raising their bids aggressively."Twenty thousand spiritual stones!""Twenty-one thousand spiritual stones!""Twenty-two thousand spiritual stones!"In no time, the auction price soared to an astonishing 25,000 thousand spiritual stones.This final bid came from Carson, the patriarch of the Hawkins family, who gritted his teeth as he called it out. Even for the elite families of Capital City, this price marked an extreme limit.Everyone knew that an ordinary spiritual stone mine yielded around 10,000 spiritual stones. Hence, 25,000 stones equated to the output of two and a half mines, making even the w
Chase was about to leave Cooper with Scott when he noticed a somewhat familiar figure around the corner.Was it her?As Chase was about to confirm, the figure disappeared into Cooper Manor with the crowd."Scott, you head back first. I have something to take care of!" Chase explained to Scott and then followed that figure.If he was not mistaken, that was Bianca!Why would she be here? Chase was filled with curiosity, so he continued to follow.…Inside the inner hall of Cooper Manor, someone had led Bianca to this place.At this moment, two people were already waiting in the hall."Mr. Everett, she’s here."Seated in the hall were none other than Everett Cooper, the eldest son of the Cooper family, and his younger brother, Emmett Cooper.Everett waved his hand, signaling the maid to leave. He then turned to Bianca."Bianca, have you thought it over?""Everett, since I came to Capital City, you've always treated me well. But marrying you is out of my consideration. We're c
Everett revealed his true nature. He looked at Bianca with a mocking expression, and Emmett continued speaking in a cold tone."Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you have the legendary human furnace physique and happen to carry the Coopers' bloodline, my brother wouldn't have gone so easy on you. You still don't know, do you? "Once my brother takes your virginity, it will increase his chances of breaking through by 20%.""Is this true?" Bianca stared at Everett in disbelief. She had even taken him as her brother recently, not realizing his true intentions."What else could it be? Do you really believe you're so stunning that I'd fall in love with you at first sight? In Capital City, I can have any beauty I want. How laughable!" Everett sneered, leaving his seat and walking toward Bianca.Bianca instinctively stepped back. "What... are you going to do?""You already know what I intend to do. Don't worry, I'll be very gentle," Everett replied with a smile as he slowly approach
If Chase had not protected Bianca, she would have perished instantly from the impact caused by two marquises of martial arts. The commotion was so intense that Bianca had already opened her eyes. Seeing Chase, she could hardly believe it and murmured, "Mr. Collins, is that you?"Seeing Bianca in such a dazed state, Chase replied, "If it’s not me, then who else would it be?""It really is you, Mr. Collins. I’ve missed you so much!"Bianca was overjoyed. She turned and threw herself into Chase’s arms.While Bianca felt immense relief, Everett's and Emmett's expressions darkened. Everett kept his gaze fixed on Chase."Who are you? Do you know where you are? You barged into the Coopers' territory. Are you looking to die?"Everett was confident that he knew all the skilled youths in Capital City. He did not recognize Chase’s face and assumed he was from a clandestine sect.Chase had no intention of introducing himself. He simply smirked and said, "I’m her boyfriend."Upon hearing
"Dad, Bianca was taken," Everett told the truth about what had just happened.Lennox's expression darkened as he began to scold him, "I told you to act sooner, but you insisted on waiting to get her consent. Now, look what happened! She has escaped!""Dad, I was trying to maximize the human furnace's power to increase my chances of breaking through. Who could've expected such a turn of events?""Enough. Leave this to me and prepare for tomorrow," Lennox interrupted Everett, leaving him with no room for further explanation before heading off in the direction Chase had gone.Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night....As Chase was flying through the air, he quickly determined the direction and headed straight for Scott's base. With an ordinary person like Bianca with him, it was not suitable to engage in combat, especially since Lucas had warned him of a martial lord approaching.Chase did not even have to guess to know that it was Lennox."Mr. Collins, why are you here?" B
"Kid, do you really think having the protection of a clandestine sect means I won't dare to strike you? How dare you appear so brazenly at Cooper Manor? This time, I want to see who can save you!" Alf said coldly.Another martial lord!Chase knew that he had no chance against someone of this level. He quickly said, "The Hawkinses just won the Breakthrough Pill at the auction and are now being targeted by other families. Aren't you afraid that while you're here, someone will steal the pill you've worked so hard to obtain?""Hmph. Precisely because the Breakthrough Pill has attracted the attention of cultivators I have this chance to kill you without anyone noticing. Besides, since the Hawkinses have bought it, we naturally have the power to guard it. You don't need to worry about that. Just accept your death." After Alf finished speaking, he left only an afterimage as he rushed toward Chase.Seeing this, Chase turned and fled."Where do you think you're going?"Alf's figure appe
This scene left Chase utterly shocked.Alf was a stage-two martial lord. Yet, he could not withstand even one move from Quinn? Even Lucas, who was in the secret realm, was astonished. He exclaimed, "What kind of poisonous being is this?"Watching the Golden Voodoo Silkworm slowly merge into Quinn's body, Chase asked curiously, "Quinn, what happened? How did you become so powerful so quickly?""Let's discuss it later. Now is not the time," Quinn replied, her eyes scanning the distance. She grabbed Chase and prepared to flee."Wait," Chase said hastily.Quinn looked back with confusion."Bianca is still down there," Chase pointed below.Quinn then noticed a faint silhouette on the mountaintop below. It was Bianca.She had been so focused on Chase's safety that she had not noticed her best friend's presence. Although curious about how Bianca ended up there, Quinn sensed they were still being watched and quickly took both Chase and Bianca away."Where are we going?" After a while,
