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
However, Aslan was not interested in this secret treasure at all. “I don’t care about the treasure. I just want to get my hands on that damned bird!” Aslan said viciously, wishing he could tear the bird into pieces. Philip laughed at their deep enmity. “Wow, you actually hate that bird so much. But this place definitely contains valuable treasures or there wouldn't be a divine beast standing guard here,” Philip said calmly as if he had uncovered everything. “A guardian divine beast?” Aslan exclaimed in surprise. “Yeah, let’s not deal with it for now. You have to wait until I get the thing before you can touch that bird,” Philip said. He was afraid that Aslan could not hold back his anger and seek revenge. Aslan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Philip would stop him from dealing with that legendary divine beast. He really hated that damned bird very much. Philip wanted to tease Aslan but lost the mood after looking at the cave filled with bones.
Aslan quickly approached Philip to find out how to use the pills. After all, monster beasts like them had very few pills, so he was very interested in them. As soon as he heard that Philip was actually giving him a treasure like the replenishment pills, he instantly became Philip’s fanboy. “Why don’t you give me the whole bottle so that I can slowly consume them?” Aslan was expectant, hoping to get more. Whether he would take the pills or not, they could play a big role in the preservation of his life. They could be used as a powerful counter-attack at critical moments. They were more valuable than anything else. Philip rolled his eyes. This guy thought too highly of himself. “Shut it. Do you think the pills are produced in bulk?” Although Philip had a lot of them, it did not mean he would generously share them. Even if Aslan was now one of his own, his ignorance gave Philip a headache. Philip resolved to spend some time teaching him some things after this. When Aslan
Aslan tentatively sought Philip's consent. “How could it point the treasure to us? If you ask me, it probably wants to lure us into the trap it set,” Philip said calmly like a wise man who had seen through everything. Aslan was skeptical. He did not think this was a trap. “But it flew out from inside!” Aslan frowned, thinking that the bird had many secrets. Philip shook his head and said, “Since it’s a guardian divine beast, it wouldn’t stray too far away from the thing it’s guarding. Since it’s flying in one direction so anxiously, this proves that it wants to trick us,” Philip explained, and Aslan looked thoughtful. Maybe it was all the bird’s conspiracy as Philip mentioned. “Let’s find out if my guess is right.” Philip smiled as he walked to a cave. There were several spooky caves around, and Aslan had no idea why Philip picked that one. When he thought Philip would enter the cave, Philip simply walked back and forth at the entrance with no intention of going in.
Without further ado, Philip walked to the cave. The bird tried every means to protect the cave, which proved that the treasure had to be inside. Philip felt a little nervous. With a snap of his fingers, he ignited some flames to illuminate the path around him. Aslan smacked his thigh in realization upon hearing Philip’s explanation. “Hehe, that bird is too dumb to go up against you. You really do know how to deal with it!” After saying this, Aslan followed happily, fearing that Philip would leave him behind. The two entered the cave and instantly felt a gust of cold wind blowing on their faces. It was very strange, indeed. Philip tried to sense the surroundings, but the cave was full of bones with nothing else to be seen. He felt this place was just a dead cave without any life. After walking inside for several minutes and turning a corner, it was pitch-black all around. Even the flames could hardly illuminate the path ahead. “I seem to recall a legendary race called
“Don’t worry, he seems to be in a deep coma. Although breathing, he's not conscious. If I’m not mistaken, he must be a native of the secret realm. We’re so lucky to meet one today!” Philip smiled, feeling that this trip was worthwhile. Aslan said in disbelief, “How can he be a native? If so, I should've seen the natives during the hunt thousands of years ago, but I have no impression of them at all!” Seeing Aslan’s doubts, Philip patted his head. “Didn't you say that they prefer peace to fighting? The others were more than enough to hunt you down. The Cave Dwellers didn't have to show up.” After saying this, Philip walked to the back of the 'statue'. He sensed that the treasure was deeper inside the cave. As they walked farther, Philip felt stronger energy fluctuations from the treasure. They were moving forward cautiously when a bird’s screech made Aslan jump in fright. Aslan wished he could tear the bird into pieces. He was already cautious enough, but this mean b
“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
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
