An embarrassed look appeared on Hannah's beautiful face.Frowning, she contemplated this. She finally gave in to reality and said to Chase, "Mr. Collins, you can tell me about the situation.""There's someone I know who possesses the legendary Dragon Song Physique. I was looking for the miracle doctor to help her expel it from her. I wonder if you're able to get it done, Miss Jones?"Chase was straightforward about it when he found out Hannah was Skylar's disciple."The Dragon Song Physique? From what I understand, this physique is very rare even in the cultivating world. Why would you want to expel it, Mr. Collins?"Hannah was bewildered."Yes, I know that. This is a very rare physique in the cultivating world, but what if it was a woman who possesses it?""A woman? I see. I understand now. However, even my master hasn't met with such a situation before. I don't have full confidence in helping you with this. I'd need to see the patient first before deciding anything. "Where i
Chase appeared with Hannah at the front door of South Monarch Manor."Where is this?" Hannah asked warily."This is my home."Chase led Hannah straight inside.She was immediately met with glares from Quinn and Bianca.Chase had only been gone for a while, and he was already back with a beautiful woman.He quickly transmitted his voice to Quinn, "Quinn, this is the doctor I got to help treat Bianca's Dragon Song Physique."Chase had told her earlier about Bianca's Dragon Song Physique.Quinn looked slightly relieved when she heard Chase's explanation.Hannah frowned the moment she saw Bianca.As the only disciple of the miracle doctor, Skylar, Hannah recognized Bianca's physique with a single look. It was really the Dragon Song Physique."Is there any way of expelling it?"Chase whispered the question in Hannah's ear.Hannah remembered Chase telling her that this woman had no idea that the physique was threatening her life. So, she went along with her and whispered the ans
Chase knew nothing about this before Lucas informed him about it.All Hannah did was check Bianca's pulse and she was able to diagnose the situation. It was no wonder that she could be a disciple of the miracle doctor, Skylar."Is there anything you can do, Miss Jones?" Chase quickly asked."No, there isn't.""Is there nothing I can do but watch Bianca die?"Hannah did not reply to him but asked a question instead, "Mr. Collins, what's your relationship with Quinn and Miss Cooper?"How did she know Quinn's name? Chase was curious but did not think much of it."One is my fianceé, and the other is a very good friend."Chase did not hide anything and told her the truth."You're a lucky man, Mr. Collins, especially when both women are able to live together peacefully."Hannah started to sound sarcastic when she heard his answer.It was clear that Chase's answer had upset Hannah."Does this have anything to do with Bianca's condition?"Chase was not angered but tried asking mor
She was feeling angry about everything when she got home, just to see that others had barged into her house. This fueled her anger even more.Hannah entered her house furiously."You're back, Miss Jones."Douglas immediately leaped from his chair when he saw Hannah. He approached her and attempted to hold her hand."Please be respectful, Mr. Weber!"Hannah said coldly, evading him by moving to the side."Why are you hiding from me? You'll be my wife sooner or later, Hannah Jones." Douglas was not angered but smiled instead."What are you talking about?" Hannah asked angrily."I'm being serious. You know very well that my father had asked your master for your hand in marriage. He already agreed to it. You know about this," Douglas said casually."Hmph! I was very young back then, and my master didn't ask for my opinion about this. Now that he isn't around, it's all just empty words from you.""You should know what's good for you, Hannah Jones. You should be honored that I'm inte
Hannah took the cash and even smiled as she invited Chase to stay for a meal.Just as she expected, her invitation took effect.Douglas could no longer take it.He immediately asked, "Who are you?""Well, who are you?" Chase did not answer but returned the question with a bewildered look on his face.It was just a meal. What was this guy's problem?Chase had not even agreed to it."Douglas from the Webers!" he replied with pride.Most people would be flabbergasted to hear Douglas announce his name. Douglas expected this time to be the same.However, things did not work out as he expected.Chase did not think anything of his answer."Alright, I'll stay for the meal!""How dare you?!" Douglas shouted angrily. A few of his henchmen immediately surrounded Chase the moment Douglas spoke.That was when Chase realized that Douglas' henchmen were all marquises of martial arts. There was even one stage-two martial lord.Who exactly was Douglas? Douglas had such powerful men around
Chase watched Douglas walk away without stopping him.He had realized by now that Hannah was just making use of him. It was just that Chase had no idea what he had done for Hannah to change her attitude toward him.Even though Chase hated being made use of, he did not give Hannah too much trouble on account that she had made a visit to his house to diagnose Bianca.All he did was glance stoically at Hannah, who was watching everything unfold gleefully.He prepared to leave Herb Hall.Hannah must have felt guilty, or it could be something else. Before Chase left, she gave him a warning."Mr. Collins, I'd advise you to leave Capital City as soon as possible. The Webers are more powerful in Capital City than you think. Even if you're a powerhouse with high cultivation, it would be best to avoid them.""You don't need to trouble yourself over if I leave or stay. One last thing, I hope whatever you did just now would not happen a second time."Chase walked away without looking back.
The unconscious Quinn could not swallow these spiritual pills. Despite her mouth being filled with pills, she swallowed none of them.When Chase noticed this, he immediately utilized the 13 Needles of Hell's Gate. He placed each needle into the correct acupoints, which triggered a reaction from Quinn. With a moan, she finally swallowed the healing pills.The pills melted inside her, and the medication began to take effect as it slowly healed Quinn's internal wounds.Chase could finally relax when he saw this.Things became easier to deal with now that Quinn had taken the pills.Chase was able to calm down enough to ask Bianca what happened."What exactly happened here?""After you left, an old man suddenly appeared in the manor. He seemed to have gone crazy and kept muttering about wanting to get you for revenge. Quinn got into a fight with him when she heard he was looking for you. "Even though she managed to beat him off, she passed out after the old man left."Bianca descr
It took a lot of convincing before Quinn finally believed that Chase and Bianca would not hurt her and they were the closest people to her. It hurt her head every time she tried to remember something.Chase could not bear to see Quinn suffer the pain. He let Quinn stay in the area he had just cleaned up.He had tried to sense Quinn's body and found that her natal voodoo bug, which was the mutated Golden Voodoo Silkworm, had vanished.Quinn's memory loss must have something to do with her natal voodoo bug.Chase had no knowledge of voodoo craft, and he tried asking Lucas about it. However, Lucas had no understanding of it either.He had no choice but to let this be for now."What's wrong with Quinn, Mr. Collins?" Quinn was Bianca's best friend, and they had gotten even closer recently. She was worried about Quinn."She… lost her memory."Chase did not hide this from Bianca."What?! Lost her memory? What are we going to do? She would recover after a while, right? I've heard befo
By the time Chase noticed, a swarm of venomous creatures had gathered around him.Among them were common species like black mambas, golden-ringed snakes, green pit vipers, seven-step vipers, crimson scorpions, and long-tailed centipedes, but mixed in were also rare and deadly breeds such as Nether Vipers and Thousand Calamities Azure Snake.What was going on? Wait… Nether Vipers?!A familiar voice suddenly echoed above him. "Go to hell!"Chase looked up and saw a figure hovering in the air.Sure enough—it was the man with small eyes. He was still alive!Chase glanced at the corpse he had just slain moments ago. What lay there was not a real body but a pile of beast bones, blood, and shredded fur—a decoy.How careless of him. The warriors of the Nefarious Deity Sect were as troublesome as ever.He let out a quiet sigh.The man with small eyes, on the other hand, was seething with hatred.Back at the Nefarious Deity Sect, the three brothers had initially dismissed the Nefarious
The fierce storm-like assault proved effective.The man with small eyes managed to land a few cuts on Chase's skin, leaving faint traces of blood. Delighted, he sneered, "You brat, you've been poisoned! Just accept your fate and die!"Chase let out a low snort.He had allowed the venomous green dagger to graze him intentionally. The blade barely cut through his skin, and after a slight wisp of black smoke, the wounds healed instantly.Earlier, Chase had estimated that the man with small eyes was, at most, a stage-six martial god. Unlike the boorish man from before, his strength seemed to lie in his speed and use of poison.However, after undergoing multiple rounds of body refinement, Chase's physique had become virtually immune to ordinary toxins. This venom was just too weak!Chase shook his head in disappointment.The smirk on the man with small eyes faded as he watched the wounds he inflicted disappear in an instant.That dagger—the Heaven's Poison Dagger—was forged from t
Zacharias sighed as he spoke, his tone laced with regret.Chase furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did they spare the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?""Orin, the Abyssal Ape, Lysand, the Black Monk, and Elijah, the Skinscraper, were all martial cultivators. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid's flesh has immense benefits for body refinement, even for those at the peak of the martial god realm."So, they carved out a small lake here, set up a restrictive formation, and kept it captive. Every 50 years, they would return to harvest its flesh. That's the only reason I've been able to survive."Chase narrowed his eyes. "How long until their next harvest?"Zacharias calculated for a moment before replying, "It should be happening any day now."Chase glanced at the massive squid still writhing in the lake, seemingly not fully dead. He formed a new plan in his mind. The Nefarious Deity Sect practiced body refinement too. Perhaps this thing could serve as some bait?He pondered for a moment before asking, "
A stage-eight martial nirvana beast, clearly one with a physique-focused specialization, yet possessing an innate talent for mind and soul attacks?Chase was momentarily surprised.Then, a smug voice echoed within his sea of consciousness."What a powerful body! This is a heaven-sent opportunity! Finally, I don't have to be trapped in that slimy squid anymore! These past few centuries have been absolutely disgusting!"Hearing this, Chase immediately understood.This was not an innate mind and soul attack from the Nine-Sea Giant Squid; this was the remnant soul of a long-lost great cultivator attempting to seize his body."Who are you?" he asked."Kid, you should be honored! I've chosen you, so just enjoy the ride!"Before Chase could get more answers, the entity launched a full-scale mind and soul assault.A black shadow rampaged through his sea of consciousness, colliding violently and emitting waves of soundless sonic attacks, sending waves of dizziness through Chase's mind.
"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
