There was a huge venue similar to Square Cage that caught Philip's attention—a robot battle. A huge screen introduced the contestants in a loop. This was the first time Philip saw this kind of venue. It piqued his interest, so he bought a ticket and went in. As soon as he entered, he saw a row of damaged robots. According to the venue’s introduction, as long as a robot was good enough, it could even be used as a mass-produced robot on the battlefield. It seemed that this sort of venue was available in every city. Following a robot’s direction, Philip came to the auditorium. The next two robots due for the next match were being tested. The seats weren’t filled yet, so this should not be an important match. After waiting for about half an hour, the match started per schedule, and the two robots went into the square cage. This battle was very simple with no gorgeous moves. The robots were designed to use all their strength to blast the opponent into pieces. However, judg
This also led to a great increase in the labor force in society. People did not have to work but simply left it to the robots at home. Philip lamented that the gap between the rich and the poor was not so big here, and traces of happiness could be found on the faces of people on the street. However, if that was the case, such a good thing should be promoted across all continents, so why was it not? After finding a tour guide robot, Philip expressed his doubts. The robot replied, “The green ox royal family actively reformed because this place was in an infinite crisis. Other royal families including the upper echelons rejected this reform because it would destroy their collective interests, so they joined forces and collectively boycotted the robots produced by the green ox royal family on the grounds that they were trying to use robots to rule over the continents.” “What crisis?” Philip asked. To Philip’s surprise, the robot warned Philip, “Insufficient authority, consultat
Seeing that Philip was an imposing young man, this person said quite politely, “We’ve already issued a war notice. Why are you here with your hover car?” Philip did not receive any notice, so he took out his temporary pass and replied, “I just arrived here yesterday. I’m not a local.” Seeing this, the officer asked his subordinates to take Philip to make a statement before letting him go. A brown-haired female officer who was five feet nine and wearing a dark gray combat uniform brought Philip to make a statement. This person had exotic features. “You can leave after making a statement. Do you need someone to lead you out of this area?” the female officer said. Feeling the pressure around, Philip shook his head and said, “That's not necessary. I can still protect myself.” The following routine questions included his name, where he came from, what his occupation was, and what he was doing on the fifth continent. Before Philip finished answering patiently, the battleship sh
“You should reconsider. You have great potential,” the woman tried to persuade Philip. Philip thought to himself, ‘Are the people of this battle group selected this way?’ After shooting down a few enemy planes, the first wave of offensive launched by the two parties ended, and the opponent’s remaining aircraft retreated. As survivors, Philip's aircraft also flew back. However, the situation was not optimistic. One battleship of the green ox royal family made an emergency landing while another one out of three had a hull billowing with thick smoke. There were few surviving aircraft here, and it was likely that everyone would be wiped out in the next wave of attack. In the command room, a middle-aged man with gray sideburns said, “In the next wave, we’ll send all the flying robots through the forest and catch them by surprise.” “But we don’t have enough manpower for the maintenance,” a young man next to him said. The middle-aged man pondered before asking, “When will reinfo
Philip hurriedly used the rules of space to block the electromagnetic cannonball, but it was too late. The space barrier only blocked the front part, but other parts of the aircraft were burned by the ultra-high temperature. The woman wondered how she survived this attack when Philip opened the hatch. The aircraft was falling rapidly on the nearby mountain. The woman came back to her senses and was about to put on the evacuation equipment when Philip pulled her and jumped off the aircraft. “What are you doing? We’ll die!” In the air, the woman closed her eyes and screamed. Philip ignored her but controlled the wind and slowly landed in an open area. The woman came back to her senses when her toes touched the ground. She looked at Philip in shock. To fly like this, other than using some secret methods, one must at least be a six-star wind elemental practitioner. “You!” The woman was so startled that she could not speak for a while. After finally calming down, she bowed a
The voice of the man in black resounded throughout the valley along with the wind as he tossed the severed head in his hand at the other party. The black turtle royal family’s fleet quickly left the battlefield after receiving the order, and the men in black were not bothered about the defeated green ox royal family fleet behind. The brown-haired female officer stared at the sky and muttered, “We may have a full-scale war now.” “Why exactly are you fighting?” Philip wondered. The woman said, “It's no big secret anymore. The exploration team of the green ox royal family discovered an ancient relic next to a huge gold mine. Based on the traces, historians think that this relic was left by the ancients when they first arrived at the Starfall Continent. After the black turtle royal family got the news, the two parties started fighting over the ownership of the territory there.” Since this could invoke a war between two continents, it must be more valuable than the previous Peerle
The eagle-eyed man frowned and asked a girl next to him who was looking down at the insects, “Is there something wrong with my eyes? I keep feeling that someone is up there, but I can’t detect them with my senses.” The girl looked around and said doubtfully, “There’s no one.” “Maybe my eyesight is going bad.” The man lowered his head and blinked vigorously. The two wore the crest of the ancient dragon royal family. Philip left this place. According to the promotional video of the Heroes Conference he saw earlier, it should start in about six months, but the audition should start three months before that. This time, Philip drove continuously for five days and four nights. There was no worry about running out of energy. Even if he drove at full speed, the high-grade energy stone he installed earlier still had half its energy left. Philip landed slowly. After passing through several checkpoints in the green ox royal family, Philip handed over his temporary pass and stepped i
After the man finished speaking, he found a thick branch and took an afternoon nap. The pork was roasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the special gamey aroma emitted by wild boar was completely trapped in the meat. The meat had equal parts of fat and lean meat, so Philip did not feel queasy even after he finished the whole leg. About half an hour later, the man jumped down from the tree. He took out a formidable-looking scimitar about half the size of an adult from his space ring and started practicing in the open field. Although no energy was produced, the surrounding leaves rustled, stirred up by the simple movements. His technique was open and forthright. The blade was sharp, and the scimitar wielder was even sharper. Philip looked at the technique and thought it focused on the basics. The man stopped slowly and Philip applauded. When Philip was about to ask his origins, a cry in the distance attracted the man. Judging from the sound, it should be
“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
