When Philip and the princess rushed back to the territory of the merfolk kingdom, they found that the sluggish merfolk had regained some clarity in their expressions. However, when some adult merfolk saw Philip, they said fiercely, “Human, you shouldn’t have come to this underwater world.” “That’s right. If not for you, the professor wouldn't have left, and our liquid energy wouldn't have been completely destroyed just like that.” The apprehension and anger among the merfolk toward Philip grew stronger and stronger. Hearing the merfolk’s comments, Philip wanted to leave, but the princess of the merfolk kingdom stepped forward at this time and said, “Do you know what you’re talking about? Are you really willing to be controlled by the professor?” The princess of the merfolk kingdom said sternly. However, after being brainwashed by the professor, the merfolk did not hold the princess in high regard and even held some resentment against her. “Princess, do you think that you
“Princess, you should realize that your father is under control now. Maybe the professor is hiding in the dark and watching us right now.” Philip’s meaning was very clear. He was asking the merfolk princess to take this opportunity to attack her father and kill him. However, looking at his familiar face, how could the princess do that? The other merfolk got ready to attack Philip. “This human is up to no good. Let’s kill him and save the old king!” Philip had no time to waste with the merfolk. Seeing that the princess refused to make a move, Philip roared. He unleashed all the water elements he controlled, and the green essence of life hit the old king. He discovered earlier that these creatures controlled by the professor seemed to have an aversion to the essence of life, so Philip chose to attack in this way. To Philip’s surprise, the green essence of life penetrated the old king’s body through his mouth and nose. The old king's expression seemed to regain some clar
Philip was briefly startled before he felt a tremendous life force spreading through his body. The source of life that was in Philip’s stomach seemed to have found its home. It promptly entered the merman’s heart. The old king said with a smile, “The professor wanted to make use of me because of this heart. Now that I’ve given it to you, I hope you won’t let me down. “Also, in the ancient ruins are the things left behind by the mighty being…” As the old king spoke, his skin started turning gray. That was the harbinger of his death. Finally, he closed his eyes and floated up with the current. Seeing this scene, the princess could no longer bear it. All the other merfolk sobbed along with her. Philip sighed. It seemed that he had no other choice but to bring the merfolk kingdom back to its feet now, but the old king did not make things very clear before. What exactly existed in the ruins? Which mighty being was he referring to? Looking at the merfolk, Philip fel
The princess seemed to be a different person. She was firm and resolute and carried the bearing of someone superior. It was poles apart from her previous cowardice and indecisiveness. Seeing her change, Philip smiled. He knew that the princess had grown up. Suddenly, the underwater vibration increased. Something seemed to be approaching the merfolk kingdom. Philip noticed it and said, “There’s no time to lose. Anyone who wants to enter the ancient ruins can follow me.” The princess also felt the underwater vibration, and her expression changed. “That damn professor is retaliating so quickly.” Philip sneered and said, “Based on his character, he must have planned for something to attack us.” After saying this, Philip walked in the direction of the ancient ruins. None of the merfolk left, and everyone followed closely behind Philip. As for the princess, she deliberately took the last spot. Everyone knew that the last spot would be the most dangerous because if the
A beast tamer was actually a unique profession on this continent. They could control various exotic beasts and make them fight for them, and they could also use the power of the beasts. However, this skill was lost in this continent for a long time, and most of them lived in seclusion and no longer got involved in mundane affairs. Instead, they chose to live with the animals. Looking at the coffin in front of him, Philip knew that a beast tamer had died in the ancient ruins, and the merman just now must have touched the magic circle on top and got swallowed by the coffin. Philip was about to open the coffin to rescue the merman when he heard a strange noise in the coffin. It was as if something was trying to break out, and the patterns carved on the coffin seemed to come alive at this time. Philip frowned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. No one knew what the beast tamer had left in the coffin, so they could not take the risk no matter how mu
Since his energy was no longer being drained, Philip relaxed. It seemed that the flying snake had discovered something that could strengthen it, so it appeared. As those patterns disappeared, the wobbly coffin finally quieted down. Philip used his Caelum Sword to pry open the coffin lid but found nothing inside. Not to mention the merman who was swallowed just now, there was not even a sign of a skeleton. Zagu walked over. He looked at the coffin and said to Philip, “This coffin is very strange. Why don’t you let me break it apart?” Philip shook his head. “No way. Aren't you afraid of hurting your fellow merman? “Let’s chain it up and take the coffin with us.” After saying that, Philip left. Zagu fetched an iron chain and tied the coffin in exasperation. Although he was very touched when Philip said he wanted to save his fellow merman, pulling a coffin along for no apparent reason, apart from being inconvenient, would cause a great commotion. Philip wanted to keep t
As his rules of insight spread out, it was blocked when it reached the white marble floor. Instead of disappointment, Philip felt a surge of joy. Since the white marble had such an effect, it meant that the real hall was under the marble. Philip unleashed his earth element to its limit. With his actions, the real hall under the white marble revealed its true face. Finally, Philip saw the whole hall that seemed carved out of a whole block of white marble. Philip searched all over but could not find the entrance to this hall. At this moment, a voice came from behind him, “Trespassing on the ancient ruins, don't you know that this is our territory?” Philip turned around and realized that a group of people was standing behind him at some point. To be precise, they were much smaller than real humans, and the leader held a scepter in his hand. It was an old man with gray hair. Philip was startled. He never thought that such a strange human being still existed in the ancie
However, Philip was not about to fall for it. “Why can’t you accommodate the merfolk in the huge ancient ruins? Is there a secret here that you don’t want others to find out?” Philip asked. Hearing that, the old man looked at Philip coldly. The dwarf next to him who wanted to kick them out earlier finally made a move. Although this dwarf was petite, he was quite strong. Surprisingly, Philip could not sense his strength at all. The dwarf pointed with his finger, and a square box made of light appeared in front of Philip. Following the dwarf’s movement, the box got bigger until Philip was trapped inside. “I'll give you one last chance. If you choose to leave now, I can spare your life.” The dwarf stood on top of the box and said loudly to Philip inside. Philip could tell at a glance that the dwarf’s attack method was to break the space structure and activate a spell to trap Philip. Although this combat style was rare, it was also extremely dangerous. That was beca
“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
