Instantly! The atmosphere in the entire hall became somewhat cold and awkward. Who was this kid to talk to the people from the Nonagon like that? Did he know the kind of people he was dealing with? These were the four enforcers of the Nonagon! Moreover, that sturdy man exuding chills was the most belligerent, malicious, and vindictive among the four! Hiss! Everyone gasped, and many looked at Philip in confusion. They also looked at Sheryl who sat beside him. Was this the talent chosen by the Larson family? How arrogant. He was young and fearless. At the same time, the man in the black robe slowly removed his hood, revealing his hideous and vicious face. He had dark skin and a tattoo of a tiger on his arms and neck. This tattoo alone was enough to make the people present tremble. People from the Nonagon were not ordinary people. These people were freaks who had entered the door. The man's eyes were savage. The scar at the corner of his mouth was now raised,
Venom withdrew his attack but the belligerent killing intent in his eyes did not dissipate. With a broad sneer, he said, “Young man, I’m very interested in you. You’re the first person who can stand in front of me without fear. I really hope to see you in the Nonagon.” After that, he turned around and returned to the side of the coquettish woman. The four of them sat down. Sheryl was extremely frightened just now. She quickly got up and asked with concern, “Philip, are you alright?” Philip shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief. The tremendous pressure he felt from Venom had disappeared at this moment. He smiled and said, “I’m fine.” Immediately after, his eyes swept over the four enforcers of the Nonagon. The other two removed their hoods as well and Philip finally got a good look at their faces. One of them was a middle-aged man about 40 years old with a gray goatee. His eyes were closed throughout, making it difficult to guess his thoughts. The other was a rath
Smack! A person in the hall angrily and abruptly slapped his palm on the table. Then, with a face full of chills, he pointed at Philip and shouted sternly, “How dare you?! Who told you to interrupt? Do you know what this place is? Do you know who the person you’re talking back to is?” “Miss Larson, is this the person chosen by your Larson family? I think he’s just an ignorant young man! How dare he question the decision of the Nonagon? Is he tired of living?” The man turned his head angrily and shouted at Sheryl. The coldness in his eyes could not be hidden! He was already angry and jealous of Sheryl for becoming a special guest enforcer. Now, the person she chose actually dared to question the decision of the Nonagon on such an occasion. No, he was questioning the four enforcers in front of him! Simply audacious! Was he unaware of who these people were? In these people's eyes, ordinary people like them were mere ants that could be wiped out at will! In their eyes, pe
The murderous aura that radiated from Venom’s body filled the entire hall! Everyone could not help but tremble all over, their legs and knees going weak! Was this the strength of the people from the Nonagon? How terrifying! Without doing anything, just Venom’s intensity and words alone intimidated people! Everyone’s eyes fell on Philip at this moment. They wanted to see how this young man would solve the current dilemma. At the same time, they also looked forward to Venom making a move and outright killing this person chosen by the Larson family! That way, their families and the forces behind them would have one less competitor! Even the other three enforcers were staring at Philip with searing eyes, waiting for his reply. The smile on Connie’s face was the broadest. She was very interested in the man in front of her. The middle-aged man in his 40s opened his eyes slightly and took a look before closing his eyes again. It was as if the scene in front of him was not
After saying that, the coldness emanating from Venom’s smirk grew more intense. He moved at top speed to slash Philip’s arm with the dagger in his hand! With that slash, Philip’s arm would definitely be ruined! When Sheryl saw this scene, her expression crumbled and she hurriedly shouted, “Stop, no! You absolutely can't hurt him!” Hearing that, Venom glanced sideways at Sheryl and asked curiously, “Why not? Isn't he just an ordinary person? Doesn’t your Larson family have another candidate for the selection?” Sheryl was panicking at the moment. If Philip was harmed in any way, the Clarke family would definitely not let the Nonagon off! The Clarke family and the Nonagon had been at peace for decades. If anything happened at this juncture, it would be bad for both parties. Moreover, Philip was the heir of the Clarke family. If he was injured by someone from the Nonagon, Roger Clarke would certainly be furious! Not to mention the four enforcers but even the Five Pavilions
Hiss! Everyone gasped! This was too exaggerated! A single slap caused Venom to fly out like that?! Then, Fennel’s bland and disdainful words were heard. “So noisy! The hell with being an ant! In my eyes, you’re nothing but an ant.” Such audacity! Who could have imagined that this person from the Nonagon—one of the four enforcers of Uppercreek who acted so high and mighty before this and was a guy rumored to have a body impenetrable by knives—could be slapped away just like that? Moreover, Venom lay on the ground for half a minute before he recovered his senses! After he got up, his face was full of anger and his eyes flashed with disbelief. He sneered very cruelly and said to Fennel, “Haha, interesting! You’re not an ordinary person. You know the zones behind the door. You’ve entered the Nonagon and you’ve entered the door before!” Hiss! Instantly, the crowd tensed. What? The guy in front of them had actually entered the Nonagon! However, what was this about a
Fennel was right and Venom was fully aware of it. Just now, Fennel’s kick had injected a lot of vigor into his body. If he dared to activate his energy now and the two forces collided, his internal organs would not be able to withstand it. His organs would crumble! If that happened, he would be rendered an invalid! The Nonagon would have no use for an invalid! Venom dared not move around and could only kneel on the floor, enduring the pain in his abdomen. He could hardly believe that a guy who had entered the second or even third zone behind the door would appear here in the outside world! He and the other enforces had been given this assignment for the Nonagon’s selection this time. He really had not seen Fennel before! In that case, only two possibilities could explain the current situation. First, he was a member of the Five Pavilions and could freely enter and exit the Nonagon. Second, he was an outcast of the door, one who was wanted by the Nonagon. As for whic
Connie’s voice reminded one of a deep icy abyss, making others shiver when they heard it. Immediately after, she burst into action. Her slender hand carried the force of thunder and struck Fennel on the chest! Even an uninitiated layman could see that this palm strike contained an overwhelming power! Everyone believed that with this attack, the guy who seriously injured Venom before would definitely die! The corner of Venom’s mouth also carried a sneer. Since Connie had made a move, the outcome had been decided! She had entered the second zone and her strength was above his—a cut above! She might even enter the third zone when they returned after this! She was only 23 years old and selected by the Nonagon at the age of 19. In just four years, she had already attained such an achievement. Her future was limitless! However, to everyone’s surprise, Connie’s palm strike did not cause any damage to Fennel at all. Instead, her wrist was grabbed by the opponent. Swoosh! Fe
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
