The owner of the voice soon appeared in front of Philip. It was a group of eight that looked pretty imposing. They glared at Philip coldly as if peeved that Philip had stolen their prey. “Everything has to be done in turns. We saw this leopard first. When did it become your turn?” Philip sneered. The man standing in front of him was only a little over 1.5 meters tall. He looked very ugly with his seedy features, and his yellow teeth made Philip sick to the stomach. A sliver of grass dangled in the corner of the man’s mouth as if he was pretending to be suave. Maybe he thought he was quite dashing, but Philip felt disgusted. The others glared at Philip fiercely as if waiting for him to leave. “We finally found such a land of opportunities, but this guy wants to compete with us. What a joke!” “That’s right. It’s simply ridiculous to think that two little brats dare to compete with us for territory!” Everyone mocked Philip with disdain. In their opinion, Philip thought t
“Do you think the two of you can take us on?” The seedy short man wanted to deal with Philip. The others spread out, some dealing with Aslan while others targeted the leopard. If Philip was no match for them, he would be beaten severely and might even end up being at their disposal. “If you just want the beast, I can give it up to you.” Philip suddenly changed his tone as if he was backing off. Everyone was puzzled and wondered why Philip chose to compromise. Was he backing off because he thought they were too powerful? Although the short man could not figure out what was going on, he smiled brightly. “Hehe, why bother if you had expected this outcome? If you had been so sensible earlier, we wouldn’t have surrounded you.” He thought Philip was afraid of him, so he smiled brightly. Philip smiled and winked at Aslan. The two of them stepped aside. Aslan looked at Philip without a word. Aslan knew what Philip was thinking, so he simply watched the fun. Since Philip
Everyone turned their attention to Philip. They were so angry just now that they did not notice anything. The guy in front of them actually had a storage device, high-end stuff! “Hehe, kid, didn't anyone warn you not to flaunt your wealth? Since you chose not to hide it, don’t blame me for being merciless.” The short man wished he could strip Philip of everything. He was surprised to meet such a rich kid. “Wow, you guys are so smart to discover the key point right away,” Philip said with a smile. These people were not that stupid to realize the most important things so quickly. Philip did it on purpose. He wanted them to know he was rich so that they would take advantage of him. Philip could not maximize his interests without forcing them to reveal their trump cards. “How dare you be so arrogant?” The short man was very angry and charged at Philip. He raised his hand and slapped Philip on the face, trying to humiliate Philip most crudely. Philip smiled calmly at his
“He owns such powerful magical treasures on top of a storage device. This is wonderful!” The eight people chattered incessantly, not taking Philip seriously at all. Although Philip was powerful, he meant nothing to them. He was alone while they had eight people on their side. “Do you think the two of you can go against the eight of us?” The short man seemed confident of his victory. He looked at Philip with such longing that his eyes turned red. In his opinion, Philip was so strong because of his weapons. He would be nothing without those weapons. After all, Philip did not display a powerful practice level. Everyone thought he was just a rich kid. Maybe Philip spent a lot of money to buy treasures just to gain experience. Although Philip had destroyed their weapons, that did not mean they were out of weapons. Everyone had many spare weapons. After taking out their weapons, they rushed toward Philip excitedly. Philip found their unrelenting spirit unbelievable. “Yo
Philip was surprised to hear the short man’s background. “Oh, you’re quite influential. I couldn’t tell at all,” Aslan sneered. This guy was simply too noisy. More importantly, this guy ignored Aslan. Did he think Aslan was dispensable? However, Philip finally figured out why they dared to act so arrogantly. It turned out that they had strong backers. Despite that, Philip did not know anything about the Spada Guild. He was new to this world, after all. Looking at the other party’s reaction, however, the Spada Guild should be a pretty good establishment or he would not have revealed it so smugly. Nonetheless, it was a fool’s errand to intimidate Philip with a few words. Philip signaled Aslan. He could not be bothered to deal with these losers. Aslan nodded and sprang into action, appearing behind these losers in an instant. “How could you move so quickly?” The short man felt someone kicking him from behind before he could react. The next second, he saw his men flyi
“If you want to find out some information, I’ll tell you everything I know. “The Spada Guild is large and powerful in Imperial City. Your accent doesn’t sound local, so it’s normal if you haven’t heard of it. The Spada Guild is one of the five major guilds. Although not ranked at the top, it can rank third or fourth.” Philip was surprised that the short man knew quite a lot. “Wow, I’m surprised to hear that the Spada Guild is so powerful. I thought it was just a trashy place,” Philip said nonchalantly as if he was quite knowledgeable in this matter. Hearing that, the short man’s mood changed for the better, and he felt full of himself. It turned out that Philip treated him so badly earlier because he was simply too ignorant. He had no idea what was going on, so it was reasonable that he was unafraid of this guild. “Since you know everything, you should let me go. My brother is really…” The short man wanted to emphasize his brother's power when he was knocked unconscious wit
Philip stepped forward and reached for it doubtfully. It was quite hot to the touch. “Philip, what’s that? It’s quite scary.” Aslan looked at the scary thing in puzzlement. Philip was baffled by the shiny item on the ground too. Of course, Aslan was not referring to the item's appearance but its vibes. Philip grabbed the shiny little stone amid his confusion. Although it was hot to the touch, Philip made use of his exotic flame and managed to grab it. His exotic flame seemed to have a powerful taming effect, and Philip quickly took control of the stone. “This is weird. I feel like the stone is emitting some unfriendly vibes as if warning others to keep their distance.” Aslan glanced at Philip curiously, feeling baffled. Why would such a terrifying thing appear in this ordinary beast forest? The presence of this small stone was so strong that even Aslan was terrified. “Don’t worry. Let me take a good look at it.” Philip studied the stone but could not figure it out. He
“Could he have found the way to unlock the passage between the two continents and left by himself? What should I do now? I haven’t learned much from him.” Kemp sighed, feeling despondent. He had sent many people to search the land of evil spirits for a long time but found no trace of Dustin. He finally mustered the courage to join the search but to no avail. “Where could he have gone?” Kemp returned home empty-handed and sat down glumly. Meanwhile, Dustin had recovered from more than half of his injuries and sat waiting for Kemp’s rescue. “What’s taking him so long? He’s such a slowpoke!” Dustin scrambled up and looked around in annoyance. He did not dare to escape without his apprentice waiting to receive him. After waiting for a long time, he finally decided to sneak out. Dustin sneaked out of the room and left quietly. He thought that no one discovered his actions, but he was too naïve. Although Declan was very unhappy with his younger brother, he asked Philip to
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
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
