“Do you think it's cruel to trade with merfolk’s hearts?” the princess asked. Philip just nodded without speaking. The princess suddenly ripped apart the covering on her chest. A shocking wound was displayed on her chest. “In fact, merpeople have two hearts.” Seeing the princess’s actions, Philip felt a little embarrassed because she was a mermaid, after all. Showing her wound openly in front of him just like that made Philip a little embarrassed. However, she seemed unconcerned. Seeing Philip's expression, she simply said, “We merfolk don’t have as much etiquette as humans, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed. “Showing you my wound is to tell you that most merpeople have lost a heart just to protect our last piece of homeland.” Protect their last piece of homeland? Did that mean that all the merpeople used to have two hearts, but they had to give up one of them for some special reason? “Why did all of you lose a heart?” The princess replied, “The humans discove
There was shock, surprise, anticipation, and hope. Various emotions added to the princess’ expression. “You can actually read the contents of the stone book without using the power of the blood. “According to the historical records of the merfolk kingdom, only the descendant of the mighty being who left behind this stone book and the royal bloodline of the merfolk kingdom can read the content.” Hearing that, Philip immediately frowned. Was that mighty being his mother? Had she ever set foot in this merfolk kingdom? He really had no way or no idea at all how to help the merfolk kingdom make a comeback! Seeing Philip's attitude, the princess immediately prostrated on the floor. “I’m begging you. After so many years of being invaded by other sea creatures, we’ve lost all means to fight. If not for the professor’s ingenuity and wisdom to pull us through the difficult times, we might have lost even the last ray of hope.” Philip wanted to refuse, but at this moment, all the
Philip followed the professor to his laboratory and finally found a moment of peace. The professor deliberately drained all the water in the laboratory so that Philip could feel more comfortable too. Philip smiled and silently accepted the professor’s kindness. He started to study the picture on the iron plate left by the professor. The content of the picture was very clear. Philip could tell at a glance where the underground ruins were, the extension of the ruins, and the mileposts. It was also clearly written on the iron plate the creatures guarding each milepost. This showed that the merfolk kingdom had once tried to invade this place but the result was not ideal. No matter what, Philip wanted to take a look for himself. When Philip was about to go out, he found the princess outside the laboratory door. “I was afraid you were busy, so I didn't want to disturb you. Here are some things from our merfolk kingdom for you to have a taste.” The princess respectfully ha
Philip had just reached the entrance of the cave when the water vibration caught their attention. “How many times have we told you that we don't need the hearts of merpeople now?” Hearing this voice, a trace of doubt flashed across Philip's face. According to the princess, the merpeople’s hearts were taken away by humans. However, it seemed that these water snakes had gotten the hearts of merpeople before. Philip did not leave but stood at the mouth of the cave. A huge dark green snake came out of the cave. “A human? You shouldn’t be here.” Although the dark green snake did not take on a human form, it could speak. “Are you saying that humans have been here before?” Philip asked the big dark green snake. Philip’s whole body was shrouded in energy, so his voice could be accurately transmitted. Sound was produced through vibration, but the medium of sound transmission was now water. The big dark green snake stared at Philip with big scarlet eyes and said, “So what?
Philip did not even wait for the flames to melt the ice. He shook his body and the ice simply shattered in an instant. The splintering ice cubes hit the reefs around, instantly crushing them to bits. At this time, several dark green snakes suddenly felt a burst of warmth. Before they even had time to react, Philip's transformed chimera claws grabbed all of their tails. Like swinging a lasso, he spun them around in the water. Following Philip's movements, whirlpools started to form in the water. However, it was done just with Philip’s brute force. He was in no hurry to get rid of the snakes. From their words, Philip knew that both the professor and the princess seemed to be keeping some secrets from him. He wanted to find out these secrets from these dark green big snakes. As they shrank into small black snakes coiled around Philip's arms, Philip smiled at them and said, “So? Will you behave now?” One of the little snakes raised its head and said to Philip, “We’re th
Philip immediately stood on guard. He did not want things to blow up in his face unexpectedly. To Philip’s surprise, although there was a lot of movement, nothing unusual happened. However, after the noises stopped and Philip relaxed, a hand suddenly grabbed his leg. An icy chill promptly spread all over Philip’s leg. In a split second, Philip’s leg was all covered in ice. The little black snakes that were coiled quietly around his hand raised their heads and bit Philip. If Philip’s skin had not been toughened up through the practice before, he might have fallen under these little black snakes. When he realized that these little black snakes were about to attack him, Philip exerted force in his hand and smashed the little snakes to the ground without hesitation. A burst of blazing white flames flashed over their bodies. Before the little black snakes could turn into those giant dark green snakes again, they were reduced to ashes mixed with the muddy water on the groun
Just when the man in black and the few snakes that had turned into children were stunned, sharp spikes made from earth protruded from the ground, which spread through the entire cave. Seeing this scene, the man in a black robe was shocked. The whole cave seemed to be under Philip's control at this moment. Rumbles sounded in the cave. The black-robed man turned pale with shock. At this moment, Philip suddenly appeared behind him. “Do you still want them to eat me now?” Philip had used the rules of space. Although he was not proficient in using the rules of space, he had no problem dealing with these big snakes. The blade of the Caelum Sword cut a boy in half, and blood spilled all over the floor. The little dark green snakes that had transformed into children were quite strong, but they had little combat experience. Thus, they were no match for Philip at all. Besides, they had always faced other underwater creatures, and this was the first time they encountered a h
Philip chuckled as he prodded the hilt of the Caelum Sword against the water elemental barrier. The menacing dragon head unleashed water elements too. The man in black's expression changed upon seeing this, but he could not get away in time even if he wanted to. At this time, the water elemental barrier became a battlefield between the black-robed man and Philip and also a battle of water elements. Philip and the man in black fought with water elements. Once the water element was controlled by Philip, the man in black would also be trapped in the water element barrier, which would then turn into a water prison for him, trapping him. “You actually have such a powerful water element that exceeds level 5S.” The man in black was originally a water snake, so he was extremely sensitive to the water element. His water element was a level 5S. Now that he was in an actual fight with Philip, he realized that Philip's water element had reached level 6S. “Of course, if I didn’t
“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
