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
Noelle was surprised at Philip’s easy-going manner and decisiveness in reaching an agreement so quickly. “After this, the Millen family will definitely band together to come after us. Don’t be scared, okay?” Noelle smiled and relaxed. Since they were a team now, there was no need to hide anymore. At this moment, whirlpools appeared on the calm pond surface, which quickly merged into one huge whirlpool. Everyone stared at this scene cautiously. Philip walked to the edge and stared at the whirlpool to see what was going on. “It’s dragon weed!” Verge Tower gave Philip an indication when he got closer to the whirlpool. This herb was actually the legendary dragon weed, extremely rare and precious. “With this herb, I can heal your injuries even before we leave the secret realm!” Philip patted Aslan on the shoulder excitedly. He could heal Aslan’s injuries with other herbs, but it would take a long time. The medicinal properties of various ingredients in Verge Tower
“But…” Noelle wanted to say something when Aslan interrupted her. “Isn't it just a priceless herb? So what? A little girl like you can't imagine what Philip can do!” Aslan could clearly tell that Montel and Clementine were Philip's true teammates, while Noelle was someone who joined them halfway. Noelle was stunned at their disdain for this precious herb. However, she could not display her true thoughts. Noelle finally chose to remain silent and waited for their next action. “Philip, why don't you tie this rope to me and let me take a look in the water? I have a feeling that this thing will disappear soon.” Aslan suggested a solution. He knew it would be dangerous, so it was better for him to take the risk. Philip waved his hand with a calm smile. “It’s okay. Don’t waste your energy on such a small thing. Just wait here and protect this place. Don’t let those ignorant people cause trouble here.” Philip jumped into the pond, looking relaxed and comfortable without
However, greed was human nature. Everyone risked their lives to enter this secret realm just for the sake of opportunities and adventures. Their desperate attempt to get hold of that thing was to be expected. Philip was terrifyingly strong. He could control his body very well even in this pond. Finally, Philip reached the bottom of the pond and saw a huge whirlpool. A woman with long flowing hair was spinning in the middle of the whirlpool. She was very pretty, but her face was frighteningly pale. After Philip's careful observation, he quickly figured out that she was not a human but a terrifying spirit. After making sure that the other party was unable to launch an attack, he sent a voice transmission to Clementine. He could not help but feel that this was a heritage point. Clementine quickly received Philip's message. She took a deep breath and jumped into the water. Clementine was initially worried that she would fall into the same state as those cannon fodders, bu
Many ordinary practitioners on the shore had figured out how to enter the pond after the initial setback. They tied a thick rope to their body and dived into the water. If something went wrong, they would pull the rope to signal their teammates to help them. Sure enough, their plan went smoothly with the rope. They managed to avoid weird or chaotic situations. Without the rope as a traction, they would just sink with no way to float. Philip sensed their approach and focused on guarding Clementine without letting anyone get close. Once those people entered the pond, they would immediately sense the heritage and rush here without hesitation. Philip’s job was to get rid of them. As Philip expected, they rushed over frantically but were knocked away by his energy. “Don’t be greedy. Don’t go after something that’s not yours.” Philip’s cold voice resounded through the bottom of the pond. Many people glared at Philip, furious that he wanted to monopolize everything. “W
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
