Philip continued to monitor the children’s practice progress. They were stronger after the potion's effects, almost on par with the practitioners in this school. It would not be long before they could stand on their own feet, which was indeed worthy of admiration. They were very grateful to Philip, who gave them a second life. If not for Philip's help, they would still be in the orphanage without enough food or clothing. How could they have ever dreamed of becoming a practitioner that everyone yearned to be? Therefore, everyone regarded Philip with the utmost respect and saw this serious man as their father. As Philip taught them how to practice, a little boy approached him timidly, but his eyes were full of longing. Philip stroked his head curiously, wondering what he wanted to say. “Harry, do you want to tell me something?” Philip said. He was always very gentle to these kids. Harry clenched his fists and mustered his courage. He asked softly, “Can I call you Dad?”
Philip had many things to do every day with many people around him. An insignificant guy was not worthy of his attention at all. Aslan kept reminding Philip, who gradually showed a look of astonishment. He finally remembered that guy, It was the smug person who wanted to take over their villa back then. Philip did not expect that this guy would be involved in this matter. “So, everything is related to him. Capture him and interrogate him thoroughly,” Philip ordered Aslan to catch him. On second thought, he decided to let Fennel go with Aslan. Greg was a bit weird, and they might be in trouble if they were not careful. Aslan was always carefree and straightforward. Although meticulous in his brusqueness, Philip felt more at ease with Fennel around. Aslan and Fennel quickly headed to Greg's dorm. Greg was quite talented among the students, so he was assigned an individual room. He was in his room examining some weird gadgets. He recently found an ancient book by c
The untied student trembled in fear. “Greg, please let me go. I have a family to support. They’ll have a hard time without me! If you’re willing to spare me, I’ll forget everything that happened. Please!” the student stammered, already feeling numb from fear. Greg sneered and said, “You think too much.” Greg would never spare this guy. He stabbed the student in the heart and gouged his heart out with his hand. Blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was terrifying. The student screamed in terror and pain, trembling until he finally lost consciousness. Greg took the heart and added many spells to it. After he was done, he stuffed the heart back into the student’s body. With the help of the spells, the wound gradually healed back to normal. The other screaming students fell silent. They were afraid of death, but the scene before them piqued their interest. They wanted to know what would happen next. It was very bizarre to see Greg healing the student’s wounds
Unfortunately, out of the two people Philip sent, one was an ancient monster beast that had lived for centuries while the other one was Fennel, who struggled to make a living in the reclusive practice world. Neither of them knew much about modern life and had no idea how to deal with these things. “Damn it, this guy ran pretty fast. We couldn't catch him!” Aslan cursed. He did not have a good impression of Greg at all. Fennel remained silent, standing aside with a cold face. He was not concerned about this. Since Greg was not here, he had to be somewhere else. There had to be a chance to catch him eventually. Greg scowled at the image on the screen. “Who are they? Why did they turn up for no reason?” He did not recognize them at all. He could remember every single person who had appeared in front of him before, including janitors. Nevertheless, that was indeed the case. When Greg messed with them back then, Aslan was not there, while Fennel showed up even later. It
Greg struggled to escape from Aslan’s grasp but to no avail. “Who are you?” Greg was finally scared. He thought that these two were just ordinary people, but this guy was so powerful and could restrain him tightly. Greg was proficient in the art of puppetry, so he was capable of controlling puppets and such. However, he was really not good at fighting other practitioners. Fennel stood aside without speaking. Since Aslan could handle this by himself, he was happy to let him. Greg kept struggling, but Aslan still carried him to the villa in the end. Greg’s expression darkened at the sight of this familiar villa. Most terrifyingly, several villas in the surroundings had been taken over by Philip, making it a small villa community. Greg was very jealous of Philip’s vast resources, but on second thought, he knew he was no match for a powerful subordinate like Aslan. Rather than putting up a fight, he should pretend to submit and lie in wait next to Philip to see if he coul
Hearing Philip's remarks, Greg's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale. He did not expect Philip to know his secret. “W-What are you talking about? Puppetry? What’s that?” Greg stammered. He would never admit it. The art of puppetry was his life-saving trump card. He would never reveal it except as a last resort. “Philip, although I’m usually a bit arrogant and domineering, I’m not a bad person. All my fellow students can give you very good feedback about me.” He trembled in fear at the sight of Aslan’s ferocious look. Greg regretted his actions for abandoning his puppets. If he still had control over many puppets, he could have gotten them to surround the villa! If Philip and the others arrived later, he could make new puppets to help him kill or do whatever he wanted. He felt very rueful, and Philip looked at his silent remorse in exasperation. “Aslan, follow his scent to track them down.” Philip did not want to waste time. He just wanted to find the evid
Aslan easily carried Greg into the formation and crushed the eye of the formation with one stomp of his foot. The formation that could isolate everything and consume people's energy vanished into thin air. Since the formation was not completely under Greg’s control, he did not notice even when someone crushed the eye and destroyed the formation. To put it simply, Greg and the formation were just using each other. If this went on long-term, he would be devoured by the formation and become its nourishment. As soon as they entered the bomb shelter, the strong stench of blood overwhelmed them, making everyone frown. They walked closer and found piles of corpses. Philip recognized some of them as very outgoing fellow students. He grimaced at this scene. They died for no reason and suffered pain and various torture before they died. It would be unfair to them if Greg died easily. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Even though he was a monster beast, Aslan could n
“Fennel,” Philip said softly. A vine slithered over from a corner and bound Greg tightly to a wall. Aslan stepped forward with a smile. Sharp nails appeared on his fingers, and he scratched Greg’s neck forcefully. However, it was just for display. In reality, his movements were very gentle. His action merely caused some superficial wounds on Greg. Philip waved his hand and sprinkled some powder over the wounds. “Greg, your wounds will never heal. Enjoy the feeling as your blood drains from your body one drop at a time,” Philip said emotionlessly. Greg was in despair. He never dreamed that Philip would be so cruel. Greg wailed in pain, hoping that Philip would let him go, but it was to no avail. Philip and the others rescued the remaining people and took them back to the campus quickly. The survivors felt very fortunate to be alive and wished they could become Philip's loyal followers after witnessing his heroic actions. “Thank you so much. We wouldn’t be alive i
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“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
