It was nothing but an abandoned security door! Philip was speechless. After going through all that trouble, the treasure he found was nothing but a piece of junk that was not worth a second look. However, he treated it as a treasure and put it in Verge Tower because he found it on West Ocean Island. Philip felt insulted by this result, but he was not an impulsive person. There had to be a reason why this ugly security door was there. Without thinking twice, Philip simply shut the door and withdrew his consciousness from Verge Tower.The door stood resolutely in a corner of Verge Tower. The monster beast's aura, which had been purified by Verge Tower, circled the door curiously. After the purification, the aura no longer contained any aggression or awareness of the monster beast. Although Philip could still feel the presence of the monster beast in this aura, it was completely separate from the octopus. In other words, Philip could use this aura to conceal his presence.
After many years, Buck still failed to find a suitable comrade. It was a great coincidence to bump into Philip this time, so Buck decided that he had to follow Philip no matter what. Rich overheard the conversation just as he was about to leave, and he grinned brightly. What an effortless task. He was just planning to find out more about Philip’s background when Philip volunteered the information outright. “Highford Practitioner Academy, huh? Haha, I thought you belonged to some large force, but it’s just an ordinary place.” Rich looked down on Philip. Rich was from a family of practitioners with years of influence, so he took no notice of an uprising academy. Many families and guilds looked down upon such establishments too. Only an idiot would teach others how to practice by contributing their skills and techniques. Rich returned home with plans to deal with Philip. He had to discuss this with his parents. Buck found a motel and planned to visit Philip in a few days
Suddenly, Philip felt someone breaking into the formation. Philip waved to Fennel and led them to the entrance. To his surprise, the person barging through the formation was someone unexpected. It was none other than Delia. Philip was curious to find out why the young leader of Smith Guild was here. He looked at Aslan, who used his token to deactivate the formation. Delia, who was trapped in the formation, felt her vision brighten. Aslan appeared in front of her. Delia became more cautious instead of relaxing. “A-Are you real or fake?” Delia asked solemnly. She was trapped in an illusory formation, and the fantasies tricked her into going around in circles. Fortunately, the formation was not offensive but simply pranked the victim. Delia felt helpless by Aslan's sudden appearance. “What are you talking about? I'm just standing here. How can I be fake?” Aslan rolled his eyes and pointed to the door. “Follow me or you’ll still be trapped in the formation,” Aslan
Besides, Philip was always busy and had no time to entertain visitors. He would always help his friends when they encountered problems regardless of whether they often contacted him or not. Delia blushed at Philip’s candidness. “Please excuse me.” Delia cleared her throat and finally told them everything. Everyone scowled upon hearing her story. It seemed that the reclusive factions had integrated with the secular world. They took the initiative to go after the larger guilds that played a certain role in this world, such as the Smith Guild, and proposed to take over the guilds. Of course, no respectable guild would ever agree to that, but once they refused, they were doomed. The reclusive factions were very powerful. Conquering the secular world by force posed no problems to them. “The Pill Guild of the reclusive world has not only taken over the Pill Guild of the secular world, but they also want to attack us,” Delia said resentfully. These people simply relied o
Although she did not know if his words were true, Delia was unwilling to say no to that face. “If that’s the case, what should we do? My father has been put under soft house arrest. If we refuse to give in, I’m sure they’ll do something!” Delia said nervously. If she did not save her father, he might end up dead from torture! Although the Pill Guild seemed decent on the surface, their methods were despicable and disgusting in reality. “What should we do now?” Fennel asked Philip. He was not interested in this matter at all. The outcome of the Smith Guild had nothing to do with him. However, the Pill Guild had a grudge against Philip. Now that they were here, they would come after Philip next. If they really managed to take over so many guilds, they would definitely become a huge threat in the future. Philip had a good impression of Delia and did not intend to sit idly by. “You guys stay here and deal with anything that crops up. Fennel and I will go over.” The mem
As royalty among the lions, it would feel better to ride Aslan, the lion king. Philip felt very smug about it, while Wynn glanced at him helplessly. Sure enough, men were always boys. These men were very childish when they got together. Under Delia’s lead, they set off for the Smith Guild with great expectations. Aslan was not aware of the conflict between the reclusive guilds and was curious about it. “This Pill Guild is weird. As a guild that specializes in alchemy, what gives them the right to act so arrogantly?” Aslan always felt that these guilds were devils without conscience and looked down on them. “As far as I know, the Pill Guild is full of people without conscience. They make some useless pills, charge sky-high prices for them, and always act arrogantly. “It’s a pity that even though everyone is unhappy with them, they have no choice but to buy pills from the Pill Guild because they've monopolized the whole market!” Aslan was a steadfast person. When he was
The people of the Pill Guild were extremely arrogant. The Smith Guild would never give in to them. “After all this time, you still refuse to surrender? This is outrageous!” a man in green said loftily. He looked around to see if he could find some timid people, but they were very strong-minded and refused to pay him any attention. “Wow, you guys are pretty prideful, huh? Let’s see exactly how good you are!” He grabbed someone and stomped on the other party. During the past few days after he entered the secular world, he came into contact with various modern gadgets which he thought were amazing. Personally, he preferred the modern lifestyle. He was an external senior member of the Pill Guild. He used to be an internal member, but he was ousted to become an external member due to misconduct. However, that did not affect his strength. He had had enough of eating the humble pie in the Pill Guild, so he wanted to make a comeback. This was a good opportunity for him to r
“Stop it!” Delia rushed forward angrily, wishing she could rip that arrogant guy apart. The man in green kept humiliating her people and did as he pleased just because he was stronger than them. As the young leader of the Smith Guild, Delia could not allow this to continue. After waiting for so long, the man in green did not expect to see Delia. They had been looking for Delia everywhere, but Emery Camas refused to reveal her whereabouts. Unexpectedly, she appeared without any effort on their part. This woman was really stupid for showing up even though everyone was trying their best to protect her. Philip and the others watched solemnly. They knew that Delia would not be in any danger, but she would be humiliated by them. At this time, Aslan had resumed his lion form. Philip rode on Aslan’s back and marched to the Smith Guild. The commotion was quite big, and the people who were trying to pry information from Emery also noticed something strange outside. They
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
The street was very crowded with not only various pet monsters for sale but also a myriad of pills and techniques, which looked impressive. Philip was happy to see this. This place was clearly better than any other place he had visited before. It was very different from the other places he knew. “This is the place I’ve always wanted to visit.” Philip could not contain his excitement and wanted to bring all his friends and family over. “After finding your crush, I’ll bring all my people over and show them this place.” Rabbit was surprised to hear Philip’s high evaluation of this place. He simply felt that something was unusual about this place, but it was nothing too special. “Don’t miss this great bargain. Our pets are the best. You look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? I can tell you some things and satisfy your curiosity. I’m sure my goods are nothing you've seen before.” Seeing that Philip and the others did not own a pet monster, the seller kept promoting his g
“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.
