The five-hour journey was greatly reduced to half an hour with Aslan running at full speed. After arriving at the destination, Aslan turned into a human again. He leaned against the tree smugly while catching his breath. “Have we gotten rid of those ants?” He looked behind him nervously. He did his best in the past half an hour. Philip nodded. It would take a while for those stupid ants to catch up. While they fled, he threw his scent all over the place. It was enough to confuse the ants for a long time. After getting Philip’s affirmation, Aslan looked around doubtfully but did not see anyone else. “When the secret realm opened back then, many young people wanted to enter it. What happened to them?” He wondered what was going on. Philip shrugged and said, “The lake water outside the secret realm is very toxic, so no one can enter in large batches. It’ll probably take another day before they can enter.” Philip looked at Aslan, relieved that he was quite smart. As e
Philip’s scent could be concealed, but it was different for Aslan. He had been imprisoned for thousands of years, and the ants were very familiar with his scent. However, the enhanced pill could conceal his presence perfectly. As Philip headed to the Water Dragon Pond to look for Montel and Clementine, many people gathered at the lake outside the secret realm. They were the reinforcements sent by the major families. The families were waiting for the water to detoxify before they sent all their people to enter the secret realm. They were behind the academy in timing, so they had to make up for it with numbers. “Old Hobart, why don’t I see anyone from your academy coming?” Seeing only a few people around Mr. Hobart, the Millen family taunted him. He knew that those were the lecturers of the academy. They came here in a hurry just to make their presence known. They had no way to enter the secret realm. Mr. Hobart chuckled and said, “We've sent enough people inside. Besides,
Everyone knew that Philip was no ordinary character. His ability to enter the secret realm proved that he could get the heritage. Gradually, Philip’s name entered everyone’s conversation. “I didn't expect the guy from the Practitioner Academy to be so powerful to come up with such pills, but I do wonder if someone gave him the pills or he made them himself.” “Are you crazy? How could a young kid like him make such wonderful pills?” Everyone spoke incessantly, especially the Millen family, who expressed their dissatisfaction with Philip to the extreme. The Millen family was already angry with Philip for killing a member of their family, so they could hardly tolerate it when others sang his praises. Since Philip was not around, and they probably would not have anything to do with him in the future, they might as well badmouth him as much as possible. Mr. Hobart merely listened to their conversation quietly with a smile. … Philip and Aslan walked through the forest to th
Unlike humans, monster beasts could absorb energy by nature, so monster beasts were already stronger than most practitioners since birth. Aslan could no longer absorb energy on his own and was no different from an invalid. Hence, he had to first repair his energy veins before he could improve his strength and return to his original level. Aslan was fully aware of this and sighed helplessly, at a loss for what to do. “I once tried to use my energy to restore those damaged veins, but it was too difficult! My efforts bore no results at all and even consumed the little energy I had left.” Aslan was full of frustration. He never dreamed that he would experience this. After all, he was a member of the royal family, and it was embarrassing to lose the ability to practice. “Can you help me? If I can regain my peak strength, I can be of great help to you.” Aslan pinned all his hopes on Philip. For some reason, he had full confidence in Philip. He somehow felt that this young m
“Not only did that bird steal my things, but it also pooped on my head! It went too far!” Philip could totally imagine the scene. He was very interested in the treasure mentioned by Aslan and wanted to know what it was. “Since we have time, let’s go and take a look. The treasure flew out from the mountain back then, so we can head there.” Aslan turned into a huge lion and carried Philip on his back up the mountain. Aslan quickly made his way up the mountain with his huge size and agile movements. The day passed in the blink of an eye. Many people entered the secret realm one after another. The first batch of people who entered the secret realm were very lucky with no major casualties so far. However, things were different for the next batch. As soon as they entered the forest, they encountered the Marching Red Ants who were frantically searching for their enemies. The ants were good at fighting and appeared in troops, so their strength could not be underestimated. The
Philip was more perceptive than Aslan. Although the latter was very strong and belonged to the monster beast family, he was no match for Philip’s techniques. Philip’s perception was the best! Aslan looked at Philip curiously and asked, “How did you know there was a magic circle there? I came here before and didn’t notice anything.” Aslan looked at Philip with admiration. If not for Philip’s young age, he would have thought that Philip had been living here for a long time. Philip was embarrassed. He had no idea how to explain this. If he told the truth, it would seem that he was bragging. In any case, it would make no difference. Philip decided to keep quiet and retain an air of mystery. After sensing the magic circle, Philip felt a little nervous. There was more to it than met the eye, and Philip was neither good at making nor breaking magic circles. He worriedly searched through Verge Tower but found no books about magic circles, leaving him in a dilemma. If he could n
Aslan picked up some stones from the ground and threw them at the bird. However, the stones could not get close to the annoying bird at all. They shattered as soon as they reached the village. The bird flew to the village in fright. Aslan cursed indignantly as the bird vanished from his sight. He wished he could go back in time to a thousand years ago, when he would still have the chance to deal with this wretched bird. However, that was wishful thinking. He obviously could not deal with the bird and was humiliated again and again. “Philip, think of a way for us to enter this village. I want to catch that bird and make you some roasted bird meat! Your strength will be greatly enhanced after the meal. Trust me!” Aslan said viciously, hating the bird to the core. Philip chuckled at Aslan. He was definitely going to enter the village, but he had yet to figure out the way. He was baffled too. Philip tried to get closer to the village and found a strong force sucking him into
Aslan grimaced at Philip’s suggestion of tossing him over. “Forget it, I think you should toss me over instead.” In hindsight, how was Aslan going to bring him over? In that case, the first option would not solve the problem. To be on the safe side, Philip decided to go alone. Aslan was more exasperated at the thought of Philip acting alone. His life was bound to Philip’s. if something happened to Philip, he would not be spared either. Nonetheless, Aslan wanted to trust Philip. “Okay, since you have the galls for it, I’ll join you!” Aslan patted his chest as if to assure Philip. Philip nodded. After all, Aslan was an elite monster beast, and Philip trusted him. At Philip’s command, Aslan made a lifting motion. Philip stepped on his hand and jumped forward. Aslan used all his strength to throw Philip up. Philip underestimated Aslan’s strength and was sent flying. He quickly exceeded the range of the magic circle and entered the village. Philip was extremely
“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.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“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
