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
Terence nodded and said, “I told him my identity, but he was very arrogant. He said he had never heard of us and even insulted us! The stoic guy next to him was no different. They think they’re very awesome just because they won a few fights!” Denzel was shocked that someone would say such a thing. “Damn it, he’s gone too far. Get someone to capture him. I want to see what gives him the right to say such things!” Terence smiled triumphantly at his uncle’s reaction. He knew that his plan was successful. No matter how angry Terence was, he could not do anything to Philip, especially with Philip's ability to fight beyond his level. However, it was different for Denzel, who was a pseudo other shore. Dealing with Philip would be easy for him. Even if Philip could fight beyond his level, he could not possibly fight at that level. Otherwise, other practitioners would have no chance to survive. Moreover, Denzel valued the family’s reputation highly. If he was informed that Philip
The villagers always displayed a humble attitude toward practitioners. If they could catch a practitioner’s eye, maybe they would be given an opportunity. When Philip and Fennel entered the diner, the waiter quickly greeted them and served them courteously. “Your order is served!” The waiter served their food and backed away. He knew that practitioners did not like being disturbed by ordinary people. However, Philip stopped him when he was about to leave. “Buddy, can you tell us more about the current affairs of the practice world?” Philip handed a fine piece of jade to the waiter. He was very soft-spoken, obviously not a local. The waiter was surprised and flattered by Philip’s attitude. “You don’t have to do this, sir. I can tell you whatever you want to know!” Even if practitioners ate without paying, no one would dare to say a word. However, this practitioner wanted to give him something for asking a few questions! It was a miracle! A lowly villager like
“The trail ends here. Go and find other information. If he dares to appear in the arena again, find someone to kill him,” Denzel instructed, ready to kill Philip. The guards of the Harrod family nodded and went looking for Philip’s whereabouts. After exploring the cave, Philip decided to follow Fennel to the arena again. He wanted some powerful opponents this time. The opponents who could be defeated easily made no difference to Philip at all. He could only benefit from the fight against powerful people. A pseudo other shore! Philip wanted to face someone of the pseudo other shore level. Fighting a half-step to the other shore was no problem for Philip now. Going one level up was the key to improving himself. Philip and Fennel returned the same way and happened to pass by the diner where they visited earlier. It did not look any different from before, but Philip smelled a hint of blood. He opened the diner door and saw a litter of corpses. The waiter and the cooks
Everyone was dumbfounded and at a loss of how to react. Fennel looked at Philip with pride in his eyes. He knew that this good buddy of his had always been an extraordinary person. Whether it was the present or the future, Philip was a man who could stand at the top of the world and look down on everything. Even Philip had to admit that this world had changed. A guy who was a half-step to the other shore actually used a magic weapon to disguise himself as a pseudo other shore. Most importantly, he was so weak! Were all the people in the reclusive practice world so weak? Terence and Denzel stood up from their chairs in disbelief. They exchanged a glance as if they had seen something terrifying. Denzel's unwavering desire to kill Philip changed in an instant. Before this, he thought that Philip was too arrogant and that Philip's death meant nothing. However, he now thought that Philip had the capability to be so arrogant. If Denzel could fight beyond his level,
If Philip was unwilling to obey Denzel, he would be killed! So what if Philip was strong enough to fight beyond his level? He definitely could not withstand being attacked by a group of powerful people! Denzel could deploy many powerful people to deal with Philip easily. Terence was relieved to hear that. He had been afraid that his uncle would force him to do something he did not want. With that solution in hand, Terence could simply tell Denzel that Philip was unwilling to comply. However, Terence still had to do what he had to do. He dejectedly arranged a few more fights for Philip just to see how strong he could be. Terence would approach Philip if he survived the next few rounds! Sure enough, Philip defeated his opponents one after another and soon reached the final round. However, Terence could tell that Philip was having a hard time. He beheaded his opponent with one swing of his sword in the first round, but it took him a while to defeat his opponent now.
“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
