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
However, the Pill Guild knew that the pills would fetch a better price in an auction. Philip would never sell it to them at a fixed price—unless Philip did not care about the price. Otherwise, the pill would only be sold for more, not less. No one would not appreciate such a perfect pill. Several other elders had mixed expressions too. Most of them did not attend the auction and were not aware of many things. They only knew that the guild leader bought some amazing pills from a man named Philip Clarke. They spent a fortune to buy these pills. The guild leader even had to bow down to the other party! They felt that the other party was not selling pills but belittling their dignity as the Pill Guild. Some members of the Pill Guild were unhappy about this while others thought they should look forward. The obstinate people felt that Philip could never seize their monopoly regardless. After all, it was one person against so many of them. No matter how good he was, it
“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
