The captain of the First Team soon brought Philip to the Shannon family, which was unlike most buildings on the lower floor. The style of the Shannon family's building was more primitive, mostly decorated with wood instead of useless steel accessories. Just looking at the architecture and decoration set them apart in terms of status. What Philip did not expect was for the door to close behind him as soon as he entered this quaint building. At this time, a voice rang from the side. “Philip Clarke, the Shannon family has set three challenges for you. “You can only meet me, the patriarch of the Shannon family, if you pass these three challenges.” As soon as the words ended, the whole area turned dark. Philip frowned. Since he came to the land of the other shore, Philip had learned a lot about elemental talent from Emily and Iris. This should be a scenario created by a dark elemental practitioner! Only practitioners of the dark element had this ability to make someone b
With a muffled sound, Philip’s punch landed on someone. However, this punch only created a ripple on that person. Philip was taken aback. Since he was here just to pass the challenges, he thought of holding back his attack. He never expected his attack not to hurt his opponent at all. At this time, the captain laughed and said, “Philip, are you surprised? This is the protective armor newly produced by the middle floor, which is specially used to defend against attacks by star talent practitioners!” Philip looked at everyone. Since this thing was used for defense, he could attack them without scruples. Philip promptly rushed toward these people again, but to his surprise, they suddenly dispersed at this time. Suddenly, waves of ripples spread across them, and Philip saw them disappearing from his side one after another. In the next second, they appeared behind Philip. Philip turned around and threw another punch. This time, the armor of the person who was hit burst int
Seeing Patriarch Shannon with such a serious expression, Philip narrowed his eyes. This was blatant intimidation. No matter how Philip looked at it, he was hostile! However, Philip said steadfastly, “Why are you doing this, then?” Suddenly, Patriarch Shannon's expression changed, and he said to Philip, “It’s nothing more than entrusting my daughter to you!” Hearing that, Philip's expression changed immediately. If he refused outright, Patriarch Shannon would feel insulted. However, how could Philip promise the other party and be with Arlene? This was really a dilemma! “What? Don't you want to marry my daughter?” Philip adjusted his expression and said, “Patriarch Shannon, it's not that I don't want to, but I'm not worthy of your daughter. Please withdraw your request!” “Outrageous!” Patriarch Shannon suddenly shouted, and Philip felt a strong wind sweeping over him. Patriarch Shannon’s aura raged! His clothes also fluttered without wind. Philip looked up cal
Philip said lightly, “If someone like me can’t handle it, can you?” After speaking, Philip had already arrived in front of the black iron mecha. Philip grabbed the black iron mecha with both hands!! Everyone looked at Philip. They had not seen such a sight in a long time. Although this mecha had long since become a testing tool in Cougar Squad, the weight of these mechas was no joking matter. Especially the black iron mecha. Maybe no one in the entire Cougar Squad could move it except Cougar. At this time, Philip's hands exploded with force. He wanted to test the weight of this black iron mecha. The weight of this black iron mecha was incredible, indeed! Philip was ready to change his posture and lift the black iron mecha in one fell swoop. However, when everyone saw Philip let go, they thought Philip was going to give up. Boos immediately rang out. Even the two big guys from earlier laughed and said, “As I said earlier, you’re simply out of your depths!” Howeve
It was a corridor to test the speed of reflexes, but as soon as Philip walked in, he realized that something was wrong. That was because based on the speed of an average person, the pendulums, weapons, and even the swinging speed of the guillotine and giant ax would not be so fast. After all, it was a test, not something meant to kill. Philip walked in slowly before he smiled and shook his head. To be honest, this level of testing was nothing to him at all. Since he agreed to the test, Philip would do it seriously. The man outside laughed oddly as Philip walked in, and the two burly men came over at this time. “How is it? Did you add something extra for that kid?” Hearing that, the person who had adjusted the attack interval to the minimum said with a smile, “Of course. Otherwise, how could I call myself your buddy?” “That kid is in for a good time!” However, before they could finish their words, they saw Philip standing at the door looking at them calmly without a
Hearing what Philip said, and thinking of what happened earlier, Cougar finally sighed and said, “Well, since that's the case, you don't need to continue your test. Once your team is formed, I’ll let you have a group test!” Cougar had just finished speaking when Philip thanked him, “Thank you, Commander Yorkshire!” Cougar said, “Don't take that group test too seriously. As we don't know how strong the enemy is, I don't want unnecessary casualties. If your team fails the test, I hope you can agree to my arrangement and enter another team!” Philip simply nodded. In fact, Philip already had a candidate in mind. Although Cougar decided that Philip only had one day before he had to take on the fight on Cougar Squad’s virtual battlefield, with Philip’s means, he believed that one day would be enough. After leaving Cougar Squad, Philip headed to Iris' bar. When he walked into the bar, Philip found that the bar was no longer in business. After all, Iris had developed into a star
Philip was fully aware of Iris’ character. She would always say something different and portray her individuality. However, Philip was not concerned about it. He knew that she was a woman of faith and loyalty. That was why he chose her to form a battle team with him. At this time, Philip looked at Emily who had not yet made a decision. He smiled and said, “Emily, I know you may need to take care of Grandpa, so I won't force you. Just follow your heart.” Hearing that, Emily nodded and said to Philip, “Let me talk to Grandpa first!” After that, Emily jumped out of the chair and went to the side. At this moment, Iris looked at Emily who was on the phone. She said softly, “Philip, don’t you think Emily is too young? It's still a little early for her to get in contact with such things now.” Seeing the worry in Iris' eyes, Philip said, “If her experience through all the hardships and people’s attitudes toward her on this lower floor can’t mature her, she can only stay here for
However, before Philip walked back, he saw Lorna with that big saber on her back again. When she saw Philip, she walked up quickly. With her high leather boots and North Battle District’s uniform, she gave off a feeling of valor and heroism. She blocked Philip's path and said, “I heard that you want to form your own combat team and join Cougar Squad to go to Blackwater Forest.” Philip nodded and asked, “Is there a problem?” Lorna smiled and said, “Of course, there’s no problem. I just want to warn you not to drag the Finn family down when the time comes or I’ll kill you without hesitation!” While talking, Lorna deliberately touched the big saber behind her. Philip snorted softly and said, “Don't worry. If you people from the Finn family drag your feet, I won’t be merciful either!” After that, Philip left with the food he bought. After returning to Leopard's boxing arena, Philip divided the food among the three of them. By this time, none of them had any strength left, e
“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
