“That’s enough. He’s our invited guest after all, so don’t worry about such red tapes.” The captain of the Draco Corps attracted Philip's attention. He was around after all, so he would never allow someone to bully his team members in front of him. He simply chose a more tactful way to resolve it. Philip knew that this was their territory, so he could not carry things too far, only to remind them. The intimidation just now was enough. Panther was shocked. He had heard some things about the Draco Corps. They were the core guards in charge of the whole middle floor, maintaining safety here. Although a little lacking compared to some big families or big forces on the middle floor, their strength should not be underestimated. Especially their head captain, he could be considered invincible among the six-star powerhouses of the same level. Coupled with his strong attributes, Panther heard that he had even defeated a seven-star powerhouse before. “Head captain, let's ge
“Wait a minute!” the head captain exclaimed. “For a lower floor person like you to come to the middle floor, anyone here has the right to kill you on the spot.” Philip stood still and turned his head back abruptly. Sure enough, the head captain already knew about it, but after careful thought, since they were able to catch these people, and Mr. Cusack knew Philip's identity at that time, it was easy to find out about it during interrogation. “Then let’s stop wasting time and just tell me what you want,” Philip said lightly. Philip was ready to fight. The captain of the Draco Corps signaled with his eyes and his team members got ready to fight too. “Okay, since you’re so forthright, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. As long as you hand over the item belonging to Mr. Cusack, not only will I let you go, but I can also take you for the combat evaluation.” Philip frowned upon hearing that. He had no idea what Mr. Cusack had. After killing him, Philip passed out. Under
Philip was not to be outdone. Red flame elements erupted from his body, and the temperature was scorching hot. Even Panther dodged unconsciously beside Philip. Panther had heard of Philip’s domineering strength, including the fact that he killed Mr. Cusack, but he never witnessed it. Seeing this today made him flustered. Everyone in the Draco Corps surrounded Philip at this time. Although they were nowhere as strong as the head captain, they could still pose some obstacles to Philip. The head captain glowed with six rays of light, and combined with the pale golden light, he seemed like a god. “I'll give you another chance. Hand over the key and I'll spare your life!” However, Philip simply threw a punch without another glance at him. “Cut the crap and fight if you want.” Things had gone south by now, so fighting was inevitable. In that case, he should take the first strike. After all, time waited for no one. Besides, Philip was much stronger than the head captai
Philip stood there in good shape. Except for some ripped clothes on his arm, he was not injured at all. At this time, the head captain saw the golden mark of White Marsh on Philip's arm. He immediately turned pale with shock. Philip was unconcerned as he glanced at the head captain and said coldly, “I've already told you that I didn't see that thing you mentioned. If you insist on bothering me, I won’t show any mercy.” After saying this, Philip was about to leave, and Panther came out of hiding too. However, seeing Philip now, he looked a little timid. He dared not even speak loudly to Philip. Seeing the two of them leaving, the members of the Draco Corps crowded around the captain. “Head Captain, are you alright?” The head captain shook his head and stood up, his expression a little weird. He kept muttering to himself, “It can’t be. The members of the nine royal families should be on the upper floor. Besides, their territories have been clearly defined by the top.
Philip did not care about his fight with the head captain at all. After all, this was the middle floor, and he had not seen the real strength and powerhouses of this world yet. Philip and Panther quickly returned to their rest cabin. Philip believed that after a fight with the captain of the Draco Corps, no one would dare to mess with him again. Panther hesitated to speak. Philip ignored him. Panther had been this way ever since they returned. Panther always had this lukewarm attitude since Philip first met him, but at that time, Panther was under the impression that Cougar had sent Philip to the middle floor to learn from him. However, looking at it now, that was not the case at all because Philip was even stronger than Cougar. Thus the change in his attitude. Philip suddenly asked, “Do you know anything about the key in Mr. Cusack’s hand?” Philip wanted to take this opportunity to find out from Panther if Cougar had taken the key. However, Panther shook his head r
Thus, Philip made his request to Panther. Panther did not even have time to put on his armor and left it in the rest cabin instead. “I'm a little hungry now. Can you let me eat first?” Panther complained on the way. He could not compare with Philip. Philip did not really need food to replenish his energy. After all, the elements absorbed during practice were sometimes far stronger than solid food. Of course, some special treasures were another matter, but Panther could not do that. Philip said lightly, “When my combat evaluation is over, we’ll eat our fill!” Philip did not want to rely on anyone else anymore. After all, not everyone was sincere about helping him. It was just like Cougar back then. Although Philip should not have doubted him, what the head captain of the Draco Corps said still rang in his ears. Who got hold of Mr. Cusack’s key? If not for this incident, Cougar would still be a good person in Philip’s mind. However, Philip had passed out at that time,
This kick did not land on Philip's body, and Philip would never allow that to happen either. With a frown, Philip looked back at the other party before ignoring him. If he chose to deal with such people, he would be too busy to deal with other things. Nonetheless, Philip still got out of the way to avoid any trouble. Seeing this scene, the man immediately snorted coldly at Philip and said, “Ignorant mongrel, hurry up and get out of the way. If you delay our young master's combat evaluation, you’ll pay for it.” Ignoring his yelling, Philip walked to the front as everyone had moved out of the way. The people of the middle floor would give way to this so-called young master but not Philip. Seeing his action, everyone was taken aback. They did not expect Philip to be so bold. This was clearly playing with fire. The young master immediately ordered the people around him, “Pull him back. A lowly citizen like him isn’t worthy of standing in my way.” His tone was pretty hosti
After the test was over, they would be matched to a battle zone of corresponding strength to carry out the combat level evaluation. This young master was clear about the rules here but not Philip. He wandered around like a headless chicken but still found a place that looked like the test tower in the end. Philip knew that this basic test had to be carried out first no matter where. Hence, he headed here directly. Before him, many people were going through the test. At a glance, he noticed the contrast between the middle floor and the lower floor. The population on the lower floor was the densest, but there were few strong people with elemental talents. However, the middle floor was different. Most of the young people had the strength of about four stars, while a few outstanding ones could even reach five stars. That was the biggest difference. On the lower floor, people with five stars could already form a stronghold. Nonetheless, few people had elemental talent.
“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
