Meanwhile, Philip had no idea someone was plotting against him. Since he dared to display his pills in front of everyone, he had nothing to fear. He simply wanted to boost Granite’s confidence. He knew that Granite and his team were willing to follow him because they believed in him. In that case, he had to let them know that their trust was correct. Philip planned to head to Cosmo City next. It was important for Alton to realize his strength too. If Alton was smart, he would not do anything in secret. If he was stupid, Philip had nothing to fear either. After all, he had many people under his command. Philip and the others packed their things, made plans for the next step, and were ready to set off early the next morning. Granite and his team did not make much use of Philip’s accommodation. They were just spending one night, and there was no need to take up so much space. The five of them squeezed on one bed comfortably. “Granite, is it really okay for us to level up so quic
Granite thought that his teammates were so innocent. “You silly goose! Do you think he won’t be tempted by the pills? Philip has no intention of giving them anything, so they can only watch helplessly! What if they use us to threaten Philip?” Granite was a very experienced hunter with a thorough understanding of human nature. He knew that nothing was scarier than human beings. Although Alton seemed like a kind father and a nice person, that did not mean he was good. Every man for himself. That proverb held true. In order to improve himself, Alton was likely to use them to threaten Philip. “We need to reach Cosmo City safely and improve our strength so that Philip can stop worrying about us!” Everyone nodded solemnly. This order was simple enough. “Don’t worry, we’ll do as we’re told and not cause trouble.” Everyone chatted until they fell asleep.… Early the next morning, Philip and Aslan embarked on their journey. The direction given to them was pretty clear. Phil
The beasts were wary of the terrifying auras. They sensed that the auras were left by humans and wondered what the humans were up to. The forest had been weird recently, and all the beasts were ready to make a move. With Philip adding fuel to the fire, most beasts had a bad impression of humans. The beasts were ready to make an uprising. “Philip, we finally arrived. Although this place looks peaceful, I feel like something is wrong.” Aslan stared at the sea in puzzlement. This place was very beautiful but unusually quiet. The sea had no waves and looked like stagnant water. “I've seen the sea before, so I can't be fooled! There should be waves. Just look at the pool of stagnant water. Not to mention waves, I don’t think we can even find any sea creatures here,” Aslan grumbled. Philip was puzzled too. Although he had never seen this particular sea before, he noticed the anomaly. Philip grabbed a seagull, tapped it on its head, and let it go. The seagull flew to the sea as if
Aslan glanced at Philip nervously, observing his reaction. He was ready to change his tone at the drop of a hat. It was just his personal opinion. Alton might not really be that type of person. He was afraid that his opinion would put thoughts into Philip’s mind. To his surprise, Philip smiled and nodded. “You’re quite smart. Your IQ seems to have increased after staying in the human world for a while.” Philip gave Aslan a rare compliment. Normally, Philip would laugh at Aslan, unlike today. Aslan acutely noticed something was amiss, so he deserved praise. “I’m glad that he wants to save his child. Maybe he’s a good father, but he’s not necessarily a good friend.” They had to be careful when making friends with such people. The mayor of Orbit City was different from Alton. Although Tory Jobb was smart in his way, his thoughts and mentality were quite mature. He never thought of using any means to gain anything from Philip. Even if he wanted pills and weapons, he made a fa
Philip finally made an important decision. “After we finish exploring this place, we have to start moving everyone to this world,” Philip told Aslan. Aslan was shocked to hear Philip’s decision. “Are you saying we don’t have to stay in that crappy place anymore?” Aslan said excitedly. He preferred this place. Although the ancestral land was nice and had various electronic facilities that caught all his attention, he preferred this life. “I was bored there because I could only stay in the villa. The moment I go out, the sparse energy would make me uncomfortable.” Aslan was quite demanding. Although the energy in this world was not as good as in the villa, it was better compared to the outside world in the ancestral land. “It’ll be amazing once we settle down and set up another energy-gathering formation.” Aslan was excited at the thought of settling down in this place. “Oh, do you want to settle down here so much? I have a feeling that a disaster will happen in the ancestr
Philip and Aslan chatted as they circled almost half of the sea area. They did not find anything strange or the entrance to the mysterious island. Philip frowned and felt something was wrong. “Why don’t we jump into the sea?” Philip decided to take a gamble. He knew it was dangerous, but who knew if the entrance was in the sea if he did not give it a try? After all, Philip found the security door in the sea during his last dangerous exploration. If the treasure in this place was also under the sea, his decision would be spot on. “Let’s take a look in the sea,” Philip suggested. It was a dangerous proposal. No one knew what lay in this dark and eerie sea. “Although the sea looks scary, I don’t think we can find anything,” Aslan said in disdain. He felt that nothing in this place could threaten him, but Philip did not share the same thought. This place seemed dangerous, so it was better to stay on guard. “You should watch out. I have a feeling there's more than meets the ey
The carnivorous fish with sharp teeth did not have time to react before they were shredded into pieces. The sea instantly turned dark with blood, adding to the terror of the sea. Seeing Philip’s decisive action, Aslan followed suit. Although the fish could not harm them, it was annoying to be chased after and bitten. Moreover, their clothes were thin and flimsy. The fish would go through the gaps and bite them. Aslan could hardly stand them! After dealing with these annoying pests, Philip dived into the depths of the seabed. They quickly reached the bottom of the sea. Along the way, they saw nothing else but those pesky carnivorous fish. “Philip, are these the only things here?” Aslan asked. Philip frowned and felt that this whole affair was very strange. Since they had reached the bottom, it was impossible not to see anything. However, reality proved him wrong. Other than increasingly obscured vision, no further changes happened. Philip became wary. He was surprised to f
Fortunately, Aslan’s crush was not around or he would have been embarrassed as hell. “You’re a macho lion. If your beauties in the harem saw this, it’d be embarrassing as hell,” Philip teased. It was a comical sight for a burly guy to end up like this. Aslan felt embarrassed too. He always cared about his image and would never allow something like this to happen to him. Aslan accepted the fact that Philip had seen him like this. It was no big deal for Philip to see him like this, as long as it was not a beautiful woman! Aslan relaxed at this thought, but Philip was puzzled. He wanted to make fun of Aslan, but he accepted it so quickly, which was inconsistent with his nature. However, Philip did not dwell on it. He started exploring the cave after Aslan stood up. There had to be treasures in this weird and mysterious cave. “Look around and be careful. I suspect we can find treasures here,” Philip reminded Aslan. He was not afraid that Aslan would get hurt but afraid that he wo
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
