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
“Not bad, he's actually an eight-star practitioner. It seems that I need to take this more seriously.” The diabolic cultist stopped holding back and flashed around the arena. Every time he moved to a new position, he would leave behind a figure like a clone. At this time, Philip could not tell which figure was his true body. A burst of arrogant laughter sounded. “Kid, go to hell.” All the clones moved, and bursts of light shot out from under their cloaks with gray smoke. The intensive attacks made it impossible for Philip to hide. Sword energy lashed continuously. Although it could withstand the smoke temporarily, the sword energy would be corroded very quickly. The skill of this diabolic cultist was very weird, something Philip had never encountered before. Philip's defense seemed to be getting weaker, and the smoke almost covered Philip several times. Everyone could tell that Philip was at the end of his rope. At this moment, the diabolic cultist appeared in the c
Philip’s match was a good start for everyone. After all, he was up against one of the three invited parties, while the participants of the Heroes Conference could be considered the weaker party. Philip’s battle greatly motivated them. Philip did not remain in the stands but walked slowly to the young man who warned him earlier. “Thank you for your help just now.” Philip's voice was soft and slow. He had a smile on his face. Conlay Nox said indifferently, “You don't need to thank me. He wasn't your match in the first place. I was too hasty.” Seeing Conlay's expression, Philip knew that he was kind but aloof. Philip felt an affinity for Conlay at this moment. “If you want to thank me, please fight with all your strength when you’re up against me.” Conlay suddenly added, but his eyes were focused on the ring the whole time without looking at Philip. “Of course. If we meet each other, please don’t hold back.” Philip returned to his stand and sat down. At this time,
The old man announced, “To increase the level of difficulty for everyone, we’ll include some special props in the second round.” Several stone pillars suddenly emerged from the ground, and lightning flashed on the stone pillars. Seeing this scene, everyone was taken aback for a moment. Of course, this did not include the people from the three major forces, who seemed used to such scenes. However, members from various royal families frowned at this scene. They had experienced one round of lightning strikes earlier, so when they saw these stone pillars now, they could not help but feel a little apprehensive. “Philip Clarke!” The old man suddenly called out Philip's name. “The second round will start with you again. Do you have any objections?” Of course, Philip had no objection. Even if he did, the old man might not listen to his opinion. However, to his surprise, the old man who had always emphasized fairness said, “The heavenly general of the ancient Heavenly Court, m
“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
