“That’s right. Everyone is here for the prizes, so we should unite. If we meet each other in the competition, we can hold back a little, as long as it doesn't affect the ranking,” Philip said. Everyone nodded upon hearing that. Humans were creatures of emotions, after all. No matter how grand an event was, everything was rigged behind the scenes. As long as people were present, there must be something behind the scenes, so this was nothing unusual. “In that case, we can be considered allies, but others are probably doing the same too.” Laurie said, and Philip nodded. The Heroes Conference this time had probably attracted many powerful people, and there would be many cliques among them. Whatever they could think of, the other party could definitely think of it too, so they had to take advanced precautions! “Let’s not worry about others. After all, many people have not arrived yet. We don't need to plan ahead. Let’s just take one step at a time and act accordingly,” Laurie said
This person’s face was obscured by black strips of cloth, which made him look very strange, but from his figure and general appearance, he was most likely local. “Who are you?” Philip asked coldly. The other party did not reply but drank his wine, looking at Philip with a contemptuous smile at the same time. “So it’s you. This is really not worth my time, but since I'm here, let me tell you that you’re too weak to even be called trash!” The man in black said lightly before his figure disappeared in a flash. “You want to leave? How can it be so easy? How dare you leave after putting on a show like that?” Philip snorted coldly. He did not say anything before because he wanted this guy to say his piece. Who knew that this guy would run after saying that? Philip chased after him without further ado and struck him. The latter quickly dodged but still got hit. With a bang, the latter fell from the air and disappeared, not even leaving behind a speck of dust. “This is the ou
While thinking, Philip looked for the voice in front and walked over to see if it was Dion. However, after walking for a long time, he found that the sound was still far away from him, and he seemed to be walking on the same spot. This shocked Philip. What was wrong with him? After walking for a while longer, Philip decided to stay put. There was no point in walking further, and Philip felt as if he was trapped in an illusion at this time, but he did not encounter any strange things. How did he enter the illusion in the first place? Who did this to him? Could it be that strange guy in cloth strips? Had Philip not killed him? “You guessed it right, but there’s no reward.” A familiar voice sounded. The surrounding environment became clear, and a figure appeared not far from Philip in the next second. He was none other than the guy who was drinking and taunting Philip earlier, and as expected, this guy was still alive. “You had already cast the illusion when I attacked
However, that was all, and nothing else happened. Not to mention a way out, but there was not even a ripple. “Damn it!” Philip could not help swearing at this sight. He crossed his arms and started thinking. It seemed that he could not rely on his strength now and could only wait. Meanwhile, in a mountain forest outside, Philip stood quietly in an open space. There was a handprint on the ground, which was obviously done by him. “Are you still resisting? But what else can you do to a surreal illusion like this?” The man with cloth strips looked at Philip and sneered as he held a golden token in hand. This token was obviously the one given to Philip by Sophie earlier, and the man was very interested in it. “The lad who can make that woman take the initiative to give him the token is nothing to shout about.” The man muttered as he fidgeted with the token before putting it away. He was about to leave. He had lost interest in Philip because, in his opinion, Philip was alread
“Unrepentant fool!” Laurie snorted coldly and slashed the cold light in her hand at the opponent. In an instant, the whole mountain forest was filled with killing intent. Meanwhile, in Philip's illusion, the sky suddenly changed drastically. The cold wind howled as if welcoming a brewing storm, which made Philip a little confused. “Why is the weather in this illusion so unstable? What’s happening?” Philip muttered, wondering where to find a place to shelter from the rain, but after searching for a long time, he could not find one, so he simply stopped. “It seems that the change in the weather is related to the outside world. If I’m in an illusion, where is my real body now?” Philip muttered. He felt that his consciousness should be trapped in an illusion, not his body. However, if that were true, it would be dangerous because even a passerby could kill him! Thinking of this, Philip could not calm down anymore. If he did not die in the hands of the strong but was slaughter
Philip felt as if someone touched him and immediately touched his shoulder. He felt a delicate hand as if it belonged to a woman. “Did a woman find me? What if she thinks that I’m handsome and has thoughts about me?” Philip could not help his thoughts running wild. In the next second, his body was pulled violently, and he fell to the ground in an unsteady heap. There seemed something strange under his body. It was soft and comfortable. “Isn't this going a little too fast?” Philip was a little stunned, but what he did not know was that the man was about to attack him just now, and Laurie pulled him, resulting in his unsteady balance and causing him to pin Laurie on the ground. “Philip.” Laurie looked at Philip on top of her and could not help blushing. A strange feeling came over her, but before she could think about it, there was another gust of wind. Laurie quickly pulled Philip and dodged it. The hook gouged a deep pit in the ground, still exuding a trace of heat. “
A mighty sword energy with scorching flames overturned the ground and slashed the man. The man looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his face was full of disbelief. “Impossible. How could this kid break my illusion?” The man could not help yelling, but Philip could not hear him. “Great, Philip didn’t disappoint me!” Although Laurie was a little surprised, she was even more delighted. After all, if Philip could move freely, the pressure on her would be much less. “Oh, I think I lost something. Right, it’s that token. What the hell did Sophie give me? Why do so many people want it? It was the female thief before and the man this time.” Philip muttered before his eyes lit up. Were the female thief and the man in the same gang? However, why were they after this token? Was it related to Sophie? The identities of these people… Philip pondered, and all his thoughts suddenly connected. Was it possible that these people were related to that man-made woman covered in runes?
However, Laurie's attention was attracted by the giant, and she did not notice Philip’s action at all. Philip felt helpless and had no choice but to rush up with Caelum Sword, planning to strike first. “Damn you! You forced me to use my real body. No one can stop me today!” the giant roared angrily. In the next second, he slapped Philip. In his eyes, Philip was nothing more than an ant without any threat at all. The female thief who was watching the show frowned when she saw this. Of course, she knew what this real body represented. In their organization, everyone had two bodies—one with a normal human appearance, and the other was their real body. However, the real body was unstable. It could have any appearance and anything could happen. Some people even had a limit to the number of times they could use their real body, and they could die if they exceeded that. However, they would be stronger when using their real body. Danger coexisted with benefit, which was a fair trad
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
