Philip and the others looked over and found that most people in the training camp were disciples. They had arrogance and disdain written all over their faces. Philip also felt powerful energy fluctuations and the power of rules from them. The disciples of Cochly Mountain in this training camp were not simple. The murderous and fierce aura exuded from them seemed as if they had just experienced a bloody battle. The weakest person had the strength of the fourth zone. Philip and the others followed Owen inside. Seeing Owen, the disciples bowed slightly and greeted him. Owen merely nodded with his hands behind his back. He led Philip and the others inside. As they passed through the training grounds of the training camp, Owen introduced as he walked, “These are disciples on rotational duty at the stargate. All of them are brave and good at fighting, but as you can see, they’re unwilling to concede to anyone. I hope you guys can interact with them more in the future.” Phil
Philip shook his head helplessly, glanced at Fennel, and said, “What do you think?” Fennel shrugged and said, “They’re here for you. We’ll go to our rooms first.” After saying that, Fennel turned around and went into the dormitory with 17 and the others. Seeing their blatant disregard for them, the bald man scowled and shouted coldly, “Kid, you’re very cocky, huh? I asked you a question!” Philip looked at the man, raised his hand, clenched his fist, craned his neck, and said, “If you want to fight, just go ahead. I have other things to do.” “Damn it! You’re too arrogant!” “This is Cochly Mountain. How dare a newbie like you talk to Evan like this?” “Boys, let’s go! Let’s show him who’s in charge here!” With that said, these five people attacked Philip from five different directions! The bald man threw a punch with a flaming fist. He was a disciple with the fire attribute! The others had the ice attribute, the wind attribute, and the earth attribute respectively with
With that threat, the bald man ran away. Philip’s expression darkened. He glanced at the people watching the fun in the distance and shouted coldly, “Anyone else wants to try?” Those people snorted, turned around, and went on with their own business. Philip stood for a while before turning around and entering the dormitory. Fennel and the others were already resting on the beds, while 17 was polishing her scimitar. “How was it?” Fennel asked while lying on the bed with his head pillowed in his arms. Philip sat on his bed and said, “I tested them. They’re so-so.” “Who do you think sent them?” Fennel got up and asked. Philip thought for a while and said, “We just arrived and didn’t really run into anyone. Either Commander Greene wants to test our strength, or the group of people who tried to kill us earlier want to spread the rumors on purpose.” “Are you referring to Reynold?” Fennel asked with a frown. “Bingo.” Philip nodded, got up, and said, “Do you still remember
Janike spread her arms open, and her body suddenly glowed like white jade. The bright glow poured into the black stargate, which its end could not be seen. It was as if the stargate was a monster that devoured everything, constantly consuming the mysterious power of rules from Janike. This process continued for several hours. Janike became very weak, and her lips turned pale. Marquis Fulmore waved his hand, brought Janike away from the stargate, and said to the servant behind him, “Bring the guardian maiden to rest.” Marquis Fulmore and the others looked at the stargate that was finally calm and said, “Peace has been restored at last. A few days later and I’m afraid we wouldn’t even be able to restrain the stargate if we join forces.” Another marquis nodded and said with a frown, “The lord took Juno Yarrow to seal the stargate again back then. Why does the stargate still show such abnormal fluctuations?” Marquis Fulmore shook his head and said, “I don't know either. Maybe
The Death Canyon was marked on the map as the most dangerous and heavily guarded place. Heavily armed guards were stationed at the entrance of Death Canyon. Many high-level disciples also stood guard nearby. Philip and Fennel hid in the snowy woods on one side, looking into the darkness in the distance at the patrolling guards and the huge searchlights. Basically, no living person could break in. In the dark, the guards were chatting and smoking. Not even the cry of a bird could be heard, only the whistling cold wind. Philip glanced at Fennel and asked, “Do you think you can break in?” Fennel shrugged and said, “Almost impossible.” “Look, the ones with the giant axes are the warriors guarding Death Canyon. They look quite strong, probably disciples at the peak of the sixth zone. Once we fight with them, there’s sure to be a big commotion. It’ll be difficult to get in at that time.” Philip frowned and looked at the entrance of the Death Canyon where the four fat guys w
“Do you know that your appearance in Cochly Mountain has attracted the attention of many people?” Marquis Fulmore asked. Philip frowned and said, “I know.” Marquis Fulmore sighed and said, “I know what you're thinking. Your recklessness will ruin the overall plan. Cochly Mountain is not as simple as you think. The forces here are many and complicated, and everyone serves their master loyally. If you act impulsively, you’ll most likely offend some people behind them. When the time comes, I can’t stop them if they want to do anything to you.” Philip frowned and said, “Even a powerful half-step to the other shore like you are afraid of those people in the dark?” Marquis Fulmore turned around, glanced at Philip with a hint of admiration in the corner of his eyes, and said, “To many people, a half-step to the other shore can practically rule over a country single-handedly. But in Cochly Mountain, strength doesn’t mean everything. The scheming and chess game behind this, as well as t
His father knew of the reason? Philip was solemn as a bad premonition welled in him. This sudden turn of events had caught him off guard. They actually wanted to forcefully open the stargate and select talents to enter the other shore for this so-called training. “Marquis Fulmore, have you conducted similar training before?” Philip asked. Marquis Fulmore nodded and said, “Yes, but all ended in failure. None of the trainees who entered the other shore survived. However, we still persisted in doing so every time. Only by doing so can we understand the level of civilization and strength of that world and prepare ourselves better.” Hearing this, Philip frowned and asked, “My father and the others, have they never trained on the other shore before?” Marquis Fulmore shook his head and said, “No, but according to historical records, our predecessors have returned safely from the other shore before. Those supreme powerhouses have left a strong legacy in history, but they didn’t say
So that was the case. Philip nodded silently. Marquis Fulmore returned the token to Philip and said gravely, “Although Emperor Kai’s Token isn’t as good as the Human Emperor’s Token, to a certain degree, its usage is the same. The splendor of the First Emperor still commands awe. Even someone like Emperor Kai wouldn’t dare to call himself the Human Emperor, so you can imagine what a supreme presence it is. Kid, I never expect that you’d be acknowledged by the Human Emperor as his successor. Do your best. This world will eventually be handed over to the younger generation as you.” While saying that, Marquis Fulmore patted Philip on his shoulder, putting all his hopes and ambition on him. The world belonged to the younger generation, after all. Old people like them could only do their best to clear the obstacles for these young people of the future. Philip nodded and said, “Thanks for your clarification, Marquis Fulmore.” Marquis Fulmore smiled and said, “Have a good rest. I’ll
“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
