Verdant fell silent, and his eyes flickered. Although he realized the benefits Philip could bring to them, he was reluctant to hand over the force just like this. Anyone would find it difficult to adapt from being a leader to becoming a follower. “Can I think about it?” Verdant took a deep breath. Nigella glanced at Philip and then at Verdant. After a moment of silence, Nigella said, “I think it’s better for you to give the rights to Philip.” With that said, Nigella turned around and left, feeling a little exasperated at the same time. Verdant said those things in front of her, a member of the nine royal families. Obviously, Verdant wanted to get her to join the group. After all, the White Marsh royal family was the most mysterious among the nine royal families and also the strongest. At least, that was the case in terms of talents, except that the White Marsh royal family never fought over anything. This time, however, the White Marsh royal family could not take the
Philip nodded and said, “Within three days, I’ll ask Holy Polo to join Big Dipper, and I also hope you can gather everyone within three days. I want to hold our first meeting.” “No problem.” Verdant nodded without hesitation. After a brief chat, Verdant left. Philip walked to Nigella’s room. He had to figure out what was going on with his chimera imprint. Soon, Philip arrived at Nigella’s door. He knocked lightly and asked, “Nigella, are you free now? I need to ask you something.” “Yes, come in,” Nigella said flatly. Philip entered her room without hesitation. In the room, Nigella was practicing with her eyes closed. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Philip. “What’s up?” Philip ignored Nigella's attitude and asked, “My chimera imprint has changed, but I don't know if the change is for better or worse, so I want to ask you if you know what’s going on.” After that, Philip told Nigella all about the chimera imprint in detail. In Philip's opinion, Nigella was a r
1,800 miles outside Asteroid City, a huge pit filled with magma appeared in front of everyone, and the surrounding air was full of ashes. The exotic fire had finally appeared. People rushed over from all directions, stood on the sides of the magma pit, and stared at the flame in the middle of the pit that was about to emerge from the ground. The flame looked like a specter, exuding a hallucinating vibe. People with some knowledge about it said, “Spectral Fire, ranked 14 on the exotic fire list.” “One of this exotic fire’s abilities is to confuse people’s minds. Once used, the person being attacked will definitely be affected by the exotic fire and have hallucinations.” “It’s a relatively powerful exotic fire.” Suddenly, two people went through the crowd and knocked away a person blocking their way. “Haha, this Spectral Fire is mine now. You people should get out of my sight or don’t blame me for making a move!” The person who spoke was rather burly, his eyes full of d
A chuckle came from a distance. “Truman, you think very highly of yourself. Do you think this place belongs to your family?” Everyone turned in the direction of the voice. It was a member of the Beelzebub royal family by the name of Renault, ranked 48 on the nine-star list, ten positions higher than Truman. However, no one could predict the result if they fought. Hearing Renault’s remark, Truman restrained his arrogance slightly. Truman’s attitude depended on the other party he was dealing with. If it was someone from the other royal families, Truman would most likely not bother. However, the person in charge of his family was also a member of the Beelzebub royal family, so Truman would still display his courtesy. “Renault, why are you here? Do you need the exotic fire?” Truman frowned. He was not an idiot, or he would not have chosen such a unique path. Renault was not a fire elemental practitioner, so there was no need for him to appear here. Renault shrugged and
Lumi looked at Renault and said, “We have no interest in stealing the show. We have a mission here. If you’re smart, Renault, you should leave right now or we can’t guarantee that we won't kill you in the end!” Lumi was a cold and aloof woman with a pretty face, so pretty that one might be lost in her appearance. Renault frowned. He realized that these two people should be here because of Philip. Philip’s importance increased in Renault’s mind. If Philip was a lousy person, why would the Beelzebub royal family ask him to come here? Similarly, why would the ancient dragon and the white tiger royal families ask Portia and Lumi to come here? Although they were women, they were far stronger than most men. Many people even thought they had the ability to enter the pseudo holy list! Given enough time, they were likely to reach level nine of the pseudo holy tier! Thinking of this, Renault took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He looked at the two seriously, and his arrogance ex
Verdant smiled and said, “Although you don’t have the right to speak to me, since you did, I might as well explain it to you. The pseudo holy beings are not here to compete for the exotic fire but because they heard rumors that someone is going to target the Astral Master of our Big Dipper Guild. They won't intervene in this fight. They just want to see if Lumi and Portia can survive under the Astral Master’s hands.” “Astral Master?” Lumi and Portia were startled. They had no idea who this Astral Master was. They could not help but look at each other with doubts in their eyes. Could it be their mission target? However, how did that person command such respect from Verdant? Why were those pseudo holy beings willing to stand up for him? Thinking of this, the two shook their heads. That should not be the case. If so, they would not be the ones to turn up today. After all, if that person could deploy pseudo holy beings, their families should have sent pseudo holy beings to take
Everyone’s eyes focused on Philip. When they noticed that Philip was only in the late stage of nine stars, they were shocked and frowned. Could someone in the late stage of nine stars be compared with Lumi and Portia? The two of them were the strongest here. If they attacked with all their strength, few people here could beat them. Meanwhile, some people started whispering. “Who is this guy? How can someone in the late stage of nine stars become Verdant's so-called Astral Master?” “No idea, but Verdant and the others can’t be letting him fight those people, right? He’ll die if he faces Lumi and Portia!” “I think so too. Even if it's a one-on-one fight, I don’t think he can beat any of them. I even think that the fight will be over very soon.” “He’s just a young and ignorant guy. I know him. His name is Philip Clarke. He fought Nigella a few days ago. After they used their last trump card, Nigella threw in the towel. I don't think this guy can beat Lumi and Portia.” “So
The two looked at each other. Lumi exhaled and said, “What’s the bet?” Hearing this, Philip smiled and said, “What about betting on our lives? If I can defeat you, you’ll obey me from now on. Even if I want you to leave the royal family, you can't disobey. If you can defeat me, I’ll listen to you unconditionally. As you can see, I have Verdant and the others behind me. This is not a small force. No matter which royal family we join, it’ll be a great boost to you.” Philip's smile grew brighter. With Verdant and the others as stakes, he refused to believe they would not take the bait! Sure enough, Lumi's and Portia’s expressions changed, and ripples spread in their eyes. These people would be a great help, indeed. With them around, their status in the family would rise steadily, and they would definitely get more resources. Thinking of this, Lumi could hardly contain her delight. “We accept your bet, but you need to watch out. After all, you’re too weak in our opinion!” The
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
