The fire element gathered on Caelum Sword, which rushed toward those people like a fire dragon. Even the ice spikes in the sky had evaporated. After all, Philip's fire element was level 5S. This was not something ordinary people could possess, but the other party still wanted to resist Philip’s attack at this time. Walls made of earth emerged from the ground, but Caelum Sword destroyed them. With devastating power, Caelum Sword engulfed those people. When Caelum Sword returned to Philip, those people who wanted to make a fortune had been turned into ashes. Others who were fighting against the warriors now had a certain understanding of Philip's strength. The evil in their nature sprouted again. If Philip was really allowed to destroy the tower and enter the real Heroes Conference, the first place would never be theirs. Almost instantly, everyone made a decision. No matter what, Philip must not walk out of the Devil's Courtyard alive. In fact, this was the true t
Sure enough, following Philip’s method, everyone quickly wiped out these warriors. With this threat, other creatures in the Devil's Courtyard dared not approach them either. Philip said softly, “Everyone, if my guess is correct, as long as we destroy the tower now, we should be considered to have completed the test.” Philip did not elaborate further, but everyone understood that after passing the Devil's Courtyard, they would be eligible to participate in the real Heroes Conference. “Do we still have to get the tokens per the instructions?” Someone started to take the tokens on the ground, and upon hearing that, everyone followed suit. Philip was no exception. However, just when he bent down to get the tokens, he felt a sense of foreboding behind him. With Caelum Sword in his hand, Philip turned sharply. Clang! With a muffled sound, Philip's Caelum Sword blocked the other party’s blade. “What are you doing?” Philip frowned and asked. However, that person narrowe
To their surprise, when the earth elemental practitioner made his move, gusts of winds blew toward Philip. A wind elemental practitioner had made a move too. Many strong contenders could be found among these people. After all, it was not so easy to survive those warriors with the strength equivalent to a seven-star powerhouse. Although it was Philip who discovered the weakness of these warriors, the short fight allowed them to recognize their gap in strength. They consumed a lot of energy too. Philip's arms suddenly grew bigger and longer, his body swelled, and the chimera's claws appeared again. However, Philip was not aiming for a precise attack this time. He swiped out with his chimera claws. He wanted to disrupt their formation. Vines promptly grew out of the ground. The vines crept over those people as soon as they appeared, obviously done by Philip too. The other party reacted quickly, leaping high with a light jump, avoiding the vines and chimera's claws. Alt
At this moment, everyone suddenly turned around and realized that Philip had laid down a larger area full of wood elements outside. He had gathered everyone together and trapped them in this area. “That guy has escaped!” Everyone wanted to turn around and attack Philip, but it was too late. The protruding spikes on the ground bulged up, and loose stones were shrouded by earth elements in the shape of cannonballs. Amid everyone’s surprised exclamations, the stones flew up. No matter how quickly a person could react, there was no chance of survival under such an indiscriminate attack. Philip moved swiftly and left no one any chance once the attack began. Philip’s attack was a devastating blow to them because no one expected Philip to still have such strength, and he was not just a dual-element practitioner. His mastery over the earth element was very good too. Besides, everyone also realized how Philip got out of the trap. The rules of space! People who did not unde
In the end, Philip used his fire element to ignite the wood. He also used the rules of space to hide far away. After all these people were dealt with, he would head to the tower. Everyone discovered the problem at this time and knew that Philip could not hold on much longer. Their first thought was to get out of this area, but to their surprise, after they destroyed the burning stakes, what awaited them was a large number of creatures from the Devil's Courtyard. Almost instantly, they were overwhelmed by the creatures of the Devil's Courtyard. Philip narrowed his eyes from a distance before heading to the tower. No one could stop or threaten him now. However, before he landed on the high tower, he heard a voice. “Philip Clarke, you may stop. You’re the only one left in the Devil’s Courtyard now.” Philip looked up and found that the creatures in the Devil's Courtyard stood unmoving as if petrified. In the sky, the kind old man was looking at Philip with a smile on
After Philip left the Devil’s Courtyard, he saw a huge grandstand in front of him. A ring stood in the middle of the stands. The old man was also in the stands. Lights flashed on the stands, and people stepped out of the lights one after another. Presumably, these should be people who had passed the test and had the right to participate in the real Heroes Conference. At this time, Philip also saw Laurie and Dion. However, they were far away, and Philip had no way to greet them. All sorts of people started appearing around Philip. “I didn't expect that we were so lucky to be assigned to the easiest place!” “Right? Our qualification to participate in the real Heroes Conference is like a stroll in the park.” Philip sat down in the stands. The people next to him sat down while talking excitedly. Hearing their conversation, Philip thought inwardly that something might be waiting for them later. It was too early for them to celebrate. More and more people sat in t
Seeing this, Philip frowned. If it was really for the sake of fairness, everyone should just be assigned to the Devil’s Courtyard. Why do this instead? There must be an ulterior motive behind this Heroes Conference. When the lightning passed, everyone realized that Philip was the only one who did not come down from the stands. This also meant that only Philip walked out of the Devil's Courtyard alive. However, this point alone made everyone look at Philip strangely. When these people who had gone through the lightning session returned to the stands, several groups of strangers walked in. These strangers had no royal crests on them and seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Someone could not help asking, “Who are they? I don’t think they went through the test.” The old man just glanced at the person who spoke without a word. In the next second, a person among the group of people he complained about walked out. This man was tall and thin with an arrogant expressio
“Take out your tokens and you’ll find the order of your fights.” At the old man’s command, everyone took out their tokens. When three tokens were combined, a number appeared. Philip did the same, and the number that appeared was one. Philip smiled wryly before he jumped lightly onto the ring. He did not expect to be the first contestant. Seeing this scene, the old man frowned slightly. The only person who walked out of the Devil's Courtyard alive was Philip. The old man was more or less aware of his strength. No matter who Philip faced, it would be unfair. The person up against Philip did not step forward. At this time, the old man said loudly, “Due to the special circumstances of contestant Philip Clarke, I’d like to ask one of the three parties to select a person to fight against him.” Everyone was aware that Philip was the only one who survived the Devil's Courtyard. Silence fell. No one expected that Philip would have to deal with these specially invited guest
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
