The two entered the palace and saw a huge arena. Various spectators surrounded a huge battlefield in the middle where two people were fighting, seemingly to the death. “The fights can be man-to-man or man-to-beast. Some people fight to prove their ability, while others do it for money.” Philip was surprised to hear that practitioners would be short of money. “The winner can get jade and various resources, valuable things for practitioners.” Philip nodded. “You can sign up when you’re ready. You’ll definitely improve if you can persist for half a month,” Fennel said with a smile. He had done this before. Luckily, he kept winning, or he would have been dead by now. “What happens if I lose?” Philip asked thoughtfully. Fennel shook his head and said, “You can live only if your opponent doesn’t kill you. Of course, if anyone does anything behind the scenes…” Fennel was very clear about it. If Philip could not beat his opponent, his outcome would depend on his opponent.
Everyone wanted to see Philip being tormented. “It’s your call!” “Hurry up and start the fight. I don’t want to see this scrawny kid!” “How dare this newcomer fool around in this battle arena?” Many people were just here for the excitement. They were not bold enough to participate. Many people were envious of Philip’s courage. A big burly man entered the field, walking a little clumsily like a bear. “Hey kid, are you the one who wants to fight me?” His gruff voice sounded very unpleasant. “Come on, fatty.” Philip did not hold back at all. At the bell, Philip sprang into action and took down the fat man with one move. Everyone was dumbfounded at this scene. They thought Philip would definitely lose this round and even placed bets on it. Unexpectedly, Philip was so powerful and defeated his opponent with one move. Was he really an ordinary person? Everyone looked at Philip apprehensively, regarding him as a dark horse. They might suffer if they did not take
The sexy woman thought that her movements were so fast that no one could see her. However, this motionless man caught her with such precision! How did he restrain her without causing any damage? The sexy woman was surprised and tried to break free from Philip’s control. After all, Philip merely caught her in a chokehold, which did not seem too much of a threat. However, she was obviously too confident about herself. Philip grabbed her neck so tightly that she could not break free at all. The sexy woman panicked and tried to escape with a technique, but she realized that she could not mobilize her energy at all. The opponent seemed to be carrying something that prevented her from using her energy. “A-Are you a freak?” The expression on the sexy woman's face changed from arrogance to despair. She knew she could not beat her opponent. She had killed at least hundreds of people in the arena. This was her first defeat. Was she about to die for no reason? She could
Who was this person? How could he kill a powerful practitioner as if she were an ordinary person? The people who bet that Philip would lose panicked. No one thought that Philip would be so powerful. Philip glanced at the host. He knew that the host was not happy with him. The host trembled with fear at the sight of Philip’s terrifying gaze. “What should we do next?” The host looked at his partner in horror. Although he did not know this man, he felt unusual killing intent from him as if he was sure to die under his hands. Just one look was intimidating enough. The host could not imagine how strong Philip could be. “What else can we do? Hurry up and arrange the strongest opponent for him. We can’t let him walk out of the arena alive!” The two quickly reached an agreement and made a cruel decision. Philip was in the seventh zone, so the strongest opponent they could arrange was a half-step to the other shore, which was more than enough to deal with him. They refused
Denzel sent a guy in the fifth zone into the arena. This guy was watching the battle and was amazed at Philip's strength. Unexpectedly, he was scheduled to fight in the next round. He was very frightened and was just about to refuse when Denzel gave him a stern warning. In desperation, the practitioner had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the field. He just hoped that Philip would spare his life instead of killing him in one move. Philip was thoughtful at the sight of this practitioner in the fifth zone. He thought that the last opponent would be very difficult to deal with, but it turned out to be a person with such a low level. Hence, Philip had some guesses about the organizers of the arena. They did not seem to be good people, but Philip did not want to force the issue. They were clearly trying to get into his good books now, but Philip was not that easy to please. He simply felt that they wanted to recoup some losses after they realized how powerful he wa
Terence made a swiping motion across his neck, indicating his suggestion to get rid of Philip. Denzel looked at Terence unhappily. He did not expect this guy to be so stupid. “This young man has the ability and strength. We can't treat him like that. Instead, we should please him and try to recruit him.” Terence scowled darkly, not expecting to hear that. As a talent of the family, he was unhappy to see someone like Philip. Philip was clearly stronger than him. If Philip joined his family, Terence’s status would drop rapidly. The Harrod family did not value bloodline but individual strength. Core family members would naturally occupy an important position, but many powerful people could take up some important positions too. Only ten young family members would be selected from each generation, while others were made up of outsiders who could contribute to the family. There were many young members in Terence’s generation, and it was a tough competition to select ten peo
Terence felt disdainful that his uncle valued Philip so much, but he quickly contained this emotion. He knew his uncle very well. He would be beaten severely if his uncle got angry with him. Denzel was indifferent to Terence’s promise. He knew that no one could refuse the invitation of the Harrod family. Philip was soon announced as the winner, and everyone cheered. They thought the past few battles were exciting. However, some people rejoiced while others despaired. The people who bet that Philip would lose were very upset. They had thought that the outcome was certain, but they lost miserably. Many people staked everything they had and lost it. Philip shrugged and returned to Fennel’s side. Fennel said with satisfaction, “You did very well. We made a lot of money.” Fennel had placed all his bets on Philip right from the start. In his opinion, Philip would never lose. Sure enough, Philip won every round and made him a great fortune. Since the fight was over, Te
“It’s okay if you don’t know the Harrod family. I can tell you that we're one of the largest families in the reclusive practice world. Unlike other factions and families, we don’t place great importance on the bloodline. In our family, you can rise to the top as long as you're capable.” He laid out all his family's advantages methodically. In Terence's opinion, anyone would be excited to hear this, and no one would let go of this opportunity. Philip waved his hand nonchalantly. “Sorry, I’m not interested.” After saying this, he left with Fennel. He was a little tired from the fights and wanted to have a good meal. Terence was dumbfounded at Philip’s unfazed departure. He could not believe that Philip did not cherish this opportunity. “Wait! Stop!” Terence stood in Philip’s path in a panic, surprised by Philip’s outright rejection. “Are you serious? Do you understand what I’m telling you?” Terence was puzzled and angry over the rejection. He could not figure out why an
“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
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“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
