“What secrets are you hiding?!” She sized Philip up, feeling more and more interested in this little guy. After the nourishment from the powerful energy, Philip's physical body became stronger and glowed with a golden light. The woman went crazy over his perfect body. “You’re too strong to be real! I need you to do something for me now.” Her voice became sharp as she composed herself. Philip felt that something was wrong and immediately became wary as he stared at the statue solemnly. The bird flew to Philip, trying to perch on his shoulder. “I need to use your body to reconstruct my body. Don't worry, I’ll leave you when I find a body as powerful as yours!” The voice was extremely ferocious, as if the owner was planning to take Philip's body by force. Philip's spiritual consciousness was much stronger than ordinary people. Now that he had reached the middle stage of the sixth zone, it was even stronger. Philip subconsciously knocked away the shred of energy that t
Philip finally understood the whole story. The bird tried to guide Philip to the other caves earlier to save their lives, not because it wanted to protect some treasure. However, Philip did get something out of it, which was this golden feather that played an important role for him. He could enhance his spiritual consciousness by wearing the feather. Whether he was practicing, making pills, or doing other things, it would be a boost to him. “This golden feather belongs to me now.” Philip picked up the feather, and the bird made no objections. It was her reward for Philip, after all. After everything was done, Philip walked to the cave entrance. Aslan was hitting and banging his head against the barrier desperately. He was all bruised and battered, but he still refused to give up. He even turned into a lion as he clawed the door vigorously. Philip was moved by this scene. He stepped forward and gently knocked on the barrier. Turning around, he motioned the bird to ge
Aslan was horrified by Philip’s encounter. That bird was simply a thug who tried to take Philip’s body by force. “I knew the bird was up to no good. Damn it, I’m going to rip the bird into pieces!” Since he had obtained the treasure, Philip ignored the bird and took Aslan down the mountain, where they saw many young men nearby. Some were alone, while others moved in groups. However, all of them looked as if they had just survived a disaster. “This damned place is so spooky. If I had known, I wouldn’t have signed up for it.” “What’s up with those ants? That big one seems to be a half-step to the other shore. How terrifying!” “That’s nothing. I was swamped by a troop of ants as soon as I arrived, and even my clothes were torn. Those creatures are simply merciless and unreasonable!” Many people ranted about the Marching Red Ants. They were happy about surviving the disaster. Philip and Aslan walked past them quietly without any intention of striking up a conversation. Th
The others looked at Philip nervously. They knew that this woman was practically the leader of this team. Messing with her was no different from courting death. Aslan glared at her angrily. Since this woman wanted to cause trouble, he would oblige. With Philip's consent, Aslan roared at this ignorant woman. The lion's roar was not a technique that ordinary people could master, which proved how terrifying the lion's roar was. Everyone was dumbfounded by this roar. Their shabby clothes became even more ragged, and they looked very miserable. The mouthy woman was stunned. Her hair was a mess, and she looked like a disgusting clown. More importantly, her whole body was full of terrifying wounds that looked like marks left by a knife. The mouthy woman was terrified by the wounds on her body. She hid behind a man in horror and looked at Aslan furiously. “There’s definitely something wrong with this man. How could he use such a disgusting technique?” The woman took out a h
Philip patted Aslan’s shoulder. “Don’t be hasty. We have ample time to deal with her later. Our priority now is to look for my teammates.” Philip could not be bothered about a shrew like that, so he was not angry about her harsh words at all. “You can deal with that woman if we bump into her again.” Philip knew that the woman and her group must have many valuables on them. He would never allow these people with hostile intentions toward him to leave this place safely. The more people were left alive, the better it was for Philip. They could help collect treasures for Philip. Finding an opportunity to catch them in one fell swoop was much faster than finding the treasures himself. Aslan gulped nervously when he realized Philip’s intentions. He felt that Philip was terrifying. Aslan was glad he chose to follow Philip instead of becoming his enemy. A few hours later, they finally arrived at the location marked on the map, which was very close to Water Dragon Pond. As
After thinking about it, Philip picked up a fallen leaf and tossed it into the pond. The leaf fell on the water's surface and immediately sank to the bottom as if it was dragged by something. All movements ceased after a few seconds. “I felt something dragging me down just now, and I couldn't float no matter what. It’s different from normal swimming!” Aslan nervously explained to Philip. It was not his fault. The suction was simply too strong. Philip shook his head. He did not think so. “I don’t think something was pulling you. This is different from normal water. It has no buoyancy at all. Anything that approaches the pond will sink.” Everyone was used to normal water. Even if they fell into the pond, they could easily float if they knew how to swim. However, the water in this pond was different. Anyone who fell inside would sink very quickly as if being sucked by something. It felt as if something was pulling them, but that was not the case. Aslan was startled. He k
Aslan saw the bright smiles of these three people and heard their greeting, so he knew they were on the same side. “So, you guys are the teammates Philip has been talking about. It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Aslan greeted them politely. Montel and the others looked at Aslan curiously while Philip facepalmed, not expecting that Aslan was quite good at human socializing. However, it was just a brief exchange of pleasantries with no significant impact. The troublemakers were furious because no one was paying them any attention. “Damn it, how dare you start chatting without paying any attention to us?” “What do you take the Millen family for?” Philip frowned at the angry shouts. It was the Millen family again. This group of people was so persistent and seemed determined to cause trouble for him. “So, it’s the Millen family causing trouble so boldly again,” Philip sneered disdainfully. He had long wanted to deal with the Millen family, and they had given him another oppo
After everything was done, Philip and Aslan turned around to see three people staring at Aslan with admiration. “Hey, what was that move you just used? Can you teach me?” Montel's eyes were shining. He wished to learn this trick immediately. Clementine also looked at Aslan eagerly without caring about her image. Although Clementine was not interested in this crude attack method, she was good at modifying things. Maybe she could turn this technique into something she could use. Noelle looked at Aslan nervously. As the successor of the Trove Guild, she was extremely smart and noticed Aslan’s oddity at a glance. She could even tell that Aslan was not a human. “Philip, the Millen family are quite powerful. You’ll be in trouble if they get back at you in the real world.” Noelle kindly reminded Philip that these people were not to be trifled with. Messing with them would only result in death. The Millen family were very vengeful and would always chase after their enemies to
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“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
