Philip waved his hand and said nonchalantly, “It’s done.” Portia had told him in the painting that she would persuade Lumi. If Lumi refused, she would suppress Lumi in her painting until Lumi agreed. By now, Philip had learned everything about the Hendrix Painting, so he trusted Portia. By catching her off guard, Lumi could hardly refuse. Nixon was dumbfounded and looked at Philip speechlessly. When he was about to speak, an ethereal voice rang from a distance, “Philip.” Everyone looked over and saw Lumi. Lumi looked at Philip coldly. “Philip, you just had a big fight with Portia, so I won’t take advantage of the situation. If you can take one blow from me, I’ll admit defeat. What do you think?” Philip was startled before he said with a smile, “That’s fine. Go ahead.” Philip seemed very relaxed. Lumi sighed. She knew from Philip's leisurely look that she had lost. If Philip did not have the confidence to defeat her, she would definitely have second thoughts. Cou
Lumi felt nervous at the sight of Philip laughing, but she said no more and simply looked at him. Philip's expression gradually changed from smiling to indifference. “Lumi, you seem to have misunderstood the meaning of submission. If you can't submit to me unconditionally, why would I need you?” Lumi tensed upon hearing this. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word. Everyone around looked at Lumi silently, but no one dared to intervene. Even Portia did not transmit her voice to Lumi anymore. She could not decide on Lumi’s behalf. Philip looked at Lumi indifferently. “You have two choices now. One, forget everything, sign a contract with me, and obey me unconditionally from now on. Two, you die. “I won’t allow a talent with great potential to go back and stand against me. Only a fool will do that.” Hearing that, Lumi said without hesitation, “I submit!” Philip's expression relaxed slightly. He glanced at her and said, “Let’s sign the contract, then.” With t
Portia immediately understood Philip's meaning. She took two steps forward, raised her head slightly to look at Philip, and said calmly, “Mayor, please take care of me from now on.” Philip smiled and formed the contract again, similar to the earlier process. Then, he turned to Verdant and the others calmly. “Okay, can we have a chat now?” Verdant was just about to speak when a figure in a golden robe ran over from a distance with a smile on his face, looking at Philip. “Hello, Philip. Let me introduce myself. I’m Renault, a revived sealed talent of the Beelzebub royal family. I was ordered to come to protect you, but judging from the current situation, you don’t seem to need me anymore. The Beelzebub royal family has underestimated you and your opponents.” Renault's tone seemed a little enthusiastic, and Philip could not help raising his eyebrows in amusement. Renault was quite the sweet-talker. He had elevated Philip’s status in just a few sentences, and at the same time
Hearing this, Renault looked at Philip and said with a smile, “Philip, the patriarch wants to speak to you.” Philip was taken aback and frowned. Reinhart was about to step into the holy tier. Although Philip was famous now, he was not at the level where he could have a private conversation with Reinhart yet. It was interesting that Reinhart made this approach. After thinking about it, Philip nodded and took the communicator. “Hello, Patriarch,” Philip said calmly. A light voice came from the other end of the communicator, “I’ll leave Renault in your good hands. In a few days, I’ll ask Regus to look for you too. I won’t stop the resources that they should be getting. At the same time, I can also provide you with some resources or even some ancient ruins, but I have two requests.” Philip could not help being surprised. Although Reinhart's tone was domineering, his proposal was beneficial to Philip. Thinking of this, Philip calmly replied, “Please go ahead, Patriarch. “F
Verdant said, “I can sign a contract with you, and I can even find my own practice resources. I just want to ask you one question. When we confront the royal families, whose side will you take?” After reaching nine stars, the desire for normal practice resources would reduce. Instead, they needed more things that could help them comprehend and control the power of the laws. Based on their personal abilities, it would not be very difficult to obtain some practice resources for their personal use. Philip smiled and said, “Isn't your main purpose to deal with the nine royal families? In that case, why do you need to ask this question?” Philip had never taken the nine royal families seriously before. In his opinion, the nine royal families might be out of reach now, but one day, Philip would leave them to bite the dust. They were nothing more than a stepping stone for him. If the White Marsh and Beelzebub royal families deliberately stood against him, Philip would definitely atta
Portia fell silent. If that was the case, they could consider giving it a go. Nixon added, “It also seems that the competition rules for the stone of path order have changed this year. If we can gain an allocation, it’ll be a great help to us! Philip, do you dare to compete with the nine royal families and the ancient Heavenly Court?” Nixon looked at Philip fixedly, his eyes impassive and emotionless. Verdant understood Nixon's intention. It was a test! Philip looked thoughtful. He had no idea what the stone of path order was. Thinking of this, Philip sent his thoughts into Verge Tower where the big roc was. “Big Roc, do you know what the stone of path order is?” Although Kane and Haley were not from small forces, those were not considered big forces either. They might not be aware of this. The big roc was dozing with its eyes closed. Hearing this, it opened its eyes and looked at Philip doubtfully. “Why are you asking this?” Philip told the big roc what happened ou
At this point, the laws of earth posed no difficulty for Philip because there was a forbidden area containing the laws of earth in Big Dipper City, which should be able to help in his comprehension. However, he could not say the same for the laws of metal. ‘If I can comprehend the laws of metal through the stone of path order, the laws of five elements should be a success,” Philip thought. After that, Philip looked at the big roc and said with a smile, “Thank you, Big Roc. I need to go now.” The big roc nodded and closed its eyes again without further comment. The conversation between Philip and the big roc only took a few seconds. After Philip returned to his senses, he smiled and said, “If you want to see if I dare to develop my forces under the noses of the nine royal families and compete with them, I think you can give it a rest.” Nixon’s heart sank, thinking that Philip was going to refuse. The people around them relaxed noticeably. In their opinion, Philip's safety wa
In the meeting hall of the white tiger royal family, Patriarch Oslo was speaking to the elders under his command in a low voice. Several people walked into the hall slowly, their eyes cold and indifferent with a trace of sarcasm. Patriarch Oslo stopped talking, frowning as he looked at those people. “What are you guys doing here? Since all of you are talents, you should stay in your rooms and focus on your practice!” The hall fell into silence at Patriarch Oslo’s words. Everyone looked at the talents in wonder. The talents raised their heads, and the leader was Jay! Jay smiled a little mockingly and said, “Are we not allowed to attend a meeting of the Oslo family?” Patriarch Oslo frowned. Strictly speaking, they did have the right to attend the family meeting. Patriarch Oslo thought about it and said indifferently, “Of course, you’re allowed to attend, but we’re just discussing some trivial matters now, so we won’t take up your time.” “You have a point, but I think yo
“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
