The night passed quickly, and everyone gathered at the field early the next morning. Everyone looked at each other drowsily, obviously not fully awake yet. Even Class 1 was no exception. Most of them were office workers or students, and no one was used to getting up at five in the morning. As everyone kept yawning, Horton’s mind raced. They would be allocated to different classrooms today, and he wanted to take this opportunity to crush Philip. Horton approached Philip. He had a height of 1.6 meters but a courage that did not match. “You guys haven't withdrawn from school yet? But then again, you’re considered quite good in your class. As number one…” Before Horton could finish speaking, a punch hit his face. The punch was full of energy and sent Horton flying. Everyone was dumbfounded. Only Montel and Clementine smiled calmly. They knew about the plan and were not surprised at all. Instead, they felt that Philip did not hit hard enough. “That punch is too wea
Although they hated Horton, everyone knew that he was not to be trifled with. Many people also noticed the similarities between Horton and the supervisor. Maybe they were related. With that realization, fewer people were willing to get involved. Horton challenged Philip. He could not wait any longer. He wanted Philip dead at once! Of course, Philip would not refuse his request. Killing Horton was not a big deal to him. After the two applied for the death match, everyone voluntarily cleared a huge space for them. Montel and Clementine watched the excitement in the crowd and kept a lookout for Arthur Hobart. They had seen Arthur’s photo and knew what he looked like. Although he was old, they could never forget his energetic appearance. The fight between Philip and Horton was about to start. He stared at Horton amicably without any nervousness. Horton looked at Philip triumphantly with a hint of disdain. He had learned two martial arts skills from his uncle. Althou
Horton never dreamed that his legs would be frozen into icicles. “What the hell?” Horton tried to move his legs, but they were no longer under his control. The chill was spreading rapidly. His calves turned into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye. “What did you do to me?!” Horton exclaimed in horror. He never thought he would ever encounter this. According to his plan, he should be killing Philip next, but things took a shocking turn. Not only did he fail to crush Philip, but he was also frozen on the spot by the latter. “What level are you? You can’t be in the first zone! You must've concealed your strength right from the beginning!” Horton screamed in terror. He wanted to call for help, hoping that his uncle would save him. However, his uncle had not appeared yet, and the onlookers were unlikely to get involved in this matter. The two of them had applied for a death match, so they had to compete fairly and justly. No one could help. Anyone who interfered wo
Philip sneered. Sure enough, he had to cause trouble to attract attention. It would probably take him ages to find Mr. Hobart otherwise. The management quickly arrived. They were not very strong and were probably temporary placements. The academy’s security guards also hurried over, all experts in the fourth zone. Philip was surprised that the academy could recruit so many practitioners to work for them. He wondered what made the dean so amazing. Everyone arrived quickly and surrounded Philip. The most arrogant person among them was the security captain. He walked up to Philip with a disdainful smile. He was a powerful practitioner while these students were trash newbies. “Did you kill someone just now?” He was very arrogant and wanted to use Philip to spread his reputation. After all, he was very strong, but the academy merely gave him the position of security captain, which disrespected him. He could not accept being a security captain. He wanted a better po
Everyone knew that newcomers had a one-week safety period, but this incident happened on the second day of school! “That guy was so arrogant because he was a family member of the supervisor. Since he wanted to sign a death match, who am I to refuse?” Philip said uncannily. A hint of understanding flashed across everyone’s faces. They knew that the supervisor had a family member in Class 1, but no one thought he would mess around so soon. The supervisor who looked like a gnome arrived at the scene quickly. He looked at Philip in shocked disbelief. No one expected that a loser who had just started practicing could actually kill a genius. Moreover, Horton was in the second zone. How could he be killed so easily? “Damn it.” Before he could say anything, someone pulled up the surveillance records. Soon, everything came to light, and the gnome could not say another word. “After our verification, Philip is indeed innocent. I hereby declare that the death match is valid a
The management team wanted to gather everyone to make an important announcement. Resolving Philip's dispute was just something done out of convenience. After the management team left, Security Captain Johnson stood in front of Philip in a weird posture, which everyone found strange. “What’s wrong with the security captain?” “Who knows? I thought he was going to deal with Philip, but he's just standing there motionless. Is he frozen too?” “Can someone sneak an attack on Johnson? Just look at him. He's an expert in the fourth zone, while most of us are just in the first zone!” “Besides, even if we can kill someone beyond our level like Philip, it's impossible for the first zone to fight against the fourth zone!” Everyone muttered and walked past Johnson. Johnson heard everyone's discussion and wanted to call for help but could not move no matter what. For some reason, when he took action just now, he felt like he was trapped and rendered immobile. However, no one did
If they entered the secret realm, it would definitely affect their progress to find Mr. Hobart. While Philip pondered, the kind middle-aged man added, “Those who want to participate can register your name. We'll conduct another class allocation after the training. "Participants for the training will gather when the time comes. You can form teams not exceeding five in a team. When you reach the secret realm, look for Mr. Hobart. He's our dean.” Philip instantly made his decision upon hearing that. He had to register for this. Although he had no idea if that was the same Mr. Hobart he was looking for, he could not miss this opportunity. “Come on, let’s register ourselves.” Philip signaled and led the other two to the registration office. Many people had already signed up after the announcement. They knew exactly what the middle-aged man meant. Everyone was a weak and small potato now, but some people might be lucky enough to find opportunities in the secret realm. Aft
Philip quickly tossed his rampant thoughts aside. He thought about it and finally decided to follow the plan arranged for him. “No matter what Mr. Hobart is after, I think we can just follow his plan. I believe a well-respected man like him won’t do anything to us.” Montel nodded. He had heard of Mr. Hobart's name before, but he was still a kid at that time and did not pay much attention. However, everyone was full of praise for Mr. Hobart, who seemed like a very good and kind man. “We don’t have to be so nervous. I feel that Mr. Hobart is a very good person. After all, he’s the dean of the academy. Someone who can establish such an academy must be quite extraordinary!” Everyone nodded. The fairness of the academy had surpassed everyone's imagination. “Let's gather in the afternoon and discuss it, then.” After that, they hurried to the cafeteria while others went to the convenience store to buy some things in preparation for the secret realm. The cafeteria was very qu
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
The street was very crowded with not only various pet monsters for sale but also a myriad of pills and techniques, which looked impressive. Philip was happy to see this. This place was clearly better than any other place he had visited before. It was very different from the other places he knew. “This is the place I’ve always wanted to visit.” Philip could not contain his excitement and wanted to bring all his friends and family over. “After finding your crush, I’ll bring all my people over and show them this place.” Rabbit was surprised to hear Philip’s high evaluation of this place. He simply felt that something was unusual about this place, but it was nothing too special. “Don’t miss this great bargain. Our pets are the best. You look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? I can tell you some things and satisfy your curiosity. I’m sure my goods are nothing you've seen before.” Seeing that Philip and the others did not own a pet monster, the seller kept promoting his g
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
