The smiles on everyone’s faces grew bigger. Even Arlo seemed upset. He probably thought that a loser like Philip was not worthy for him to use a special art. Although it was just a small special art, Arlo still felt indignant about it. Meanwhile, Philip sighed and looked at Arlo. “I already told you that you only have one chance to attack me. Why didn't you cherish it?” Philip's eyes were full of regret. The stronger the special art, the stronger the elements and power contained in it. Although Philip could comprehend something from a small special art, it was not much. However, Philip was a man of his word. Since the other party had made his move, Philip would not give him another chance. The next moment, a purple imprint slowly appeared on Philip's forehead. It was a roaring chimera. After the imprint appeared, the lightning elements in the sky quickly gathered and formed a huge energy field around Philip. Lightning flashed in the energy field, but wisps of mist
The wall formed by Arlo's laws was violently blasted away by Philip, and the power of laws came to a halt. Philip punched Arlo and sent him flying away. He fell to the ground in the distance. He spat another mouthful of blood, and his aura immediately weakened. He felt extremely tired, but he still looked at Philip angrily. Everyone was dumbfounded at the scene and thought it was simply surreal. A young man who they thought would be killed easily destroyed Arlo's defense and even attacked him twice, leaving Arlo powerless to fight back! “A-are my eyes playing tricks on me?” someone gulped and muttered. “Even an average practitioner at level three of the pseudo holy tier can hardly deal with this!” “Is this his trump card?” “I think the Hood family will be wiped out today.” Arlo ignored those comments and stared at Philip in front of him. He coughed and spat another mouthful of blood again. Meanwhile, no one paid attention to Licht’s side, but there was a strong ener
“You don’t need to know how I found out. If you have a trump card, you can use it now. If you don’t, I’ll send you on your way.” Before Arlo could speak, a weather-beaten voice rang out from a distance. It was a voice that told many stories. “Little one, have mercy.” Philip looked in the direction of the voice, his gaze sharp and his brows slightly furrowed. He saw a dark alley. A tapping sound and light footsteps came from that direction. Everyone followed suit and saw an old man with a cane slowly walking out of the alley. The old man had a white beard, white hair, and age spots all over his face. He was very thin, looking as if a gust of wind could blow him away. After the old man walked out of the alley, he looked up at Philip in the sky and smiled kindly. “Little one, I wonder if you can spare Arlo’s life on my account?” Philip smiled and said, “Sir, may I know why you want to speak up for Arlo? Strictly speaking, he’s my enemy. It doesn’t seem right to let the t
This statement was like a bombshell that exploded in everyone’s ears. Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at Philip. Philip wanted Barry and the Hood family to submit to him? Was this a joke? They held Philip’s strength in high regard now, but they felt something must be wrong with Philip’s IQ or he would never say such a thing. After that, everyone looked at Philip expectantly, but Philip was unmoved and looked at Barry quietly. Barry's expression was calm as if he did not hear Philip’s earlier remark. For a moment, the scene fell into pin-drop silence. Barry looked at Philip quietly, a smile still on his face. Philip returned his smile. After a while, Barry broke the silence first. “Young man, are you sure you're not joking?” “No, I want your entire Hood family, including you, to submit to me, and hand over all your resources and assets to me.” Philip was still smiling. “If you can do that, I’ll let Arlo go. If not, we don’t have to discuss it any further.”
Seeing this, Barry sighed and said, “Young people can't be underestimated. If Arlo had half your perseverance and backbone, things wouldn’t have turned out this way now. What a pity.” Philip said, “I just resisted some pressure. If you add another level, maybe I can't handle it anymore. Why don't you give it a try?” Barry smiled peacefully. “I’m tempted to, but I’m sorry to say that I'm not at level eight of the pseudo holy tier as you expected.” With that said, Barry’s energy suddenly exploded, and a more powerful pressure appeared. Philip's legs could not take it anymore, and he bent down. The pressure of a practitioner at level nine of the pseudo holy tier had almost reached the holy tier! The family of a holy being had a solid foundation, after all! Philip's eyes were about to burst, and all his energy surged. He propped his body up forcefully and looked at Barry with a grimace. He said, “This pressure isn’t enough to make me collapse yet.” Everyone’s pupils const
No one expected that Barry would agree to Philip's request, and judging from his reaction, it was obvious that he would join in too. What was Barry thinking? Everyone was puzzled. Philip was no different, but he had a guess. However, he said nothing and followed Barry into the alley. The alley was damp and dark with moss growing on both sides. A small old bungalow stood at the end of the alley. The two soon reached the house. Barry opened the door and walked in while Philip followed suit. The furnishing in the room was very simple, with only one dark tea table with a patina at the four corners. The chairs were very clean, and there was a teapot on the table with a few teacups. Barry walked to the chair and sat down. He smiled at Philip and said, “Have a seat.” Philip nodded and sat down. Barry picked up the teapot and placed a teacup in front of Philip. After pouring him some tea, Barry said, “I know you have many questions now. Just ask away and I’ll tell you everyth
Heroes emerged in troubled times. When the Starfall Continent was in chaos, Philip could take advantage of the situation and develop rapidly. Moreover, most of the countries and families under the royal families’ territories had plans to rebel. After all, the nine royal families and the ancient Heavenly Court had been in power for too long, depriving these forces of countless resources. Given the chance, they would definitely lend a hand in this turmoil! “Your plan is very likely to lead to a major reshuffle on the Starfall Continent. The families below will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and this may even affect your mother’s arrangements. Have you considered that?” Hearing this, Philip looked up at Barry and said calmly, “If I don't do this, I may be hunted down and killed by countless people sent by the white tiger royal family with no way to save myself. Besides, I’m not a cub that needs its mother’s protection. She has her arrangements, while I have my ideas. “If I ke
Philip’s eyes lit up instantly. Tribute. To put it simply, tribute referred to resources given as offerings to the state capitals by various forces and families of the 18 states, but Philip was surprised to hear that the tribute schedules of various states in the white tiger royal family territory were different. Philip expressed his wonder, “Why is the tribute time different for each state? Isn’t it better to collect everything at the same time?” Barry smiled and said, “I'm not too sure about this. I heard it’s because of the founder of the white tiger royal family. But since the current system is like this, we don’t have to worry about it. “Since you want to stir up turmoil in the white tiger royal family, I’ll lend you a hand.” Philip nodded seriously. If the Hood family helped him, it would be interesting. As far as Philip knew, the Hood family was not only a subordinate to the white tiger royal family but also had connections to the hidden forces of the white tiger r
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
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
