At first, Harris thought that Philip would be ripped to pieces as long as Lark took action. Everyone would be in awe of the Spada Guild when they saw Philip's tragic end. Instead, Lark was defeated by Philip as soon as he made his move. Philip’s actions not only insulted Lark but also disgraced the Spada Guild. If word of this got out, everyone would think the Spada Guild was a pushover. Lark was ranked third among the internal members of the guild, and his strength could not be underestimated. It would be over once everyone found out that Lark had been defeated by an unknown person. Although Harris claimed to be the shorty’s brother, it was just in name. The shorty’s biological brother was the senior apprentice in the guild. As the second apprentice, Harris could only shamelessly claim to be his brother. The reputation as the senior apprentice was not to be trifled with. If they failed to take care of Philip, it would be the same as disgracing the senior apprentice, an
When the blood came into contact with the long whip, mysterious runes appeared on the whip. “You can brag in hell about being killed by this move of mine.” Harris laughed as he swung his whip to attack Philip. Countless shadows surrounded Philip, trying to besiege him! This move was Harris’ trump card. When Harris completed a big mission for the guild back then, an elder personally selected this technique for him! This technique was enough for him to reach the top! He could easily kill any number of people who tried to attack him. This powerful skill was called the Penumbra Technique. Combined with his whip as a magical weapon, this technique fully played an important role. Everyone panicked upon seeing Harris taking this so seriously. The members of the guild knew Harris very well. He had never been driven to this state before. Harris would only use the most powerful killing moves when competing against the members of the guild. Philip had to be very strong for Harri
“That's how it should be. This fight will only be interesting if you attack me with all you have, or it’ll be boring if I simply crush you in a one-sided match.” Everyone gasped at Philip’s arrogant tone. In fact, Philip thought Harris was a pretty good talent. He was young with good abilities. He would have a bright future if he developed properly on the right path. Thus, Philip felt exasperated at Harris' inexplicable provocation. Messing with Philip was never a good thing. The best outcome would be to destroy Harris' core so that he would never practice again. Although Philip was not a ruthless person, he was no saint either. Harris was dead for messing with him. Philip grabbed a cleaver from the side that the members left behind as a spare weapon. The cleaver was worthless, simply used as a tool for chopping firewood. In Philip’s hand, however, the cleaver came alive and hummed shrilly. Philip stroked the cleaver as if he could converse with it. “Don’t worry, you’
Philip used a small portion of his strength to gauge Harris’ level. As Philip continued to lower his level, he finally fought on par with Harris. Harris was so shocked that he regretted fighting Philip by now. He was complacent at first, thinking that Philip was not worth his time. Later, he realized that Philip was giving way to him. As time went by, however, he realized that something was wrong. Even though he tried his best, he could not penetrate Philip's defense at all, not even finding flaws in Philip’s movements. He was scared of this powerless feeling. He had never encountered such a difficult opponent before. ‘What’s going on? He looks no different from ordinary people, but why is he so powerful?’ Harris thought. Harris kept backing away, feeling too helpless to resist. If he could turn back time, he would do it even if he had to pay with everything he had. On the surface, the two seemed to be fighting on equal footing. However, Harris knew that it was a one-si
Endless energy poured into Harris. Soon, he became very powerful. The members of the Spada Guild widened their eyes in surprise. They recognized the pill Harris took. It was a level-enhancing pill, a nickname given by the guild members. Taking this pill would not increase their actual practice level but would only enhance their strength for a short time, maybe even double their current strength. It was a forbidden drug, and no one was allowed to use it. Someone would only use it as a last resort. A practitioner would suffer a serious backlash after taking the pill, maybe even death. The guild members quickly educated everyone about the side effects of the pill. The onlookers could not believe that Philip could drive Harris to this stage. They thought that Philip was just an arrogant person. However, he had the strength to go with it. At this point, they believed that it would be an honor for Philip even if Harris ended up killing him. Harris roared in anger and po
Philip used a lot of strength in this kick. Even if Harris’ energy core was not destroyed, he would be severely injured at least. It would be impossible for him to practice again. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the battlefield. Philip ignored the other party but continued with the kick. There was a cracking sound at the moment of impact, and the sound of the energy core breaking was audible. Philip saw a practitioner in black clothes in front of him. The man held the half-dead Harris in his arms as he glared at Philip solemnly. Harris fearfully used all his strength to look up at the practitioner in black before cowering in silence. His energy core was destroyed, and Harris could hardly move due to the excruciating pain in his body. “The senior apprentice is here!” Everyone exclaimed in horror as if the other party put a lot of psychological pressure on them. Harris sighed and said, “You’re finally here.” He could not muster the courage to say another word. He f
Everyone felt their anger fading and thought they had gained a huge advantage, which left them a good impression of Manta. Indeed, he was a capable person and worthy of being the senior apprentice by the way he resolved this crisis so easily. “You two troublemakers will receive your punishment when you return to the guild. As the second and third apprentices, you set up a blockade here instead of leading the other members to practice properly. This is a disgrace!” Manta reprimanded. The onlookers quickly switched sides. Before this, everyone resented the Spada Guild very much, but they had a good impression of them now. “It looks like they have an amazing person in the guild, after all. He’s very reasonable!” “I’m surprised that the senior apprentice of the Spada Guild is someone like that. He's a powerful being, indeed. This is the splendor a major guild should have!” “This is true justice and equality. All of us should learn from the senior apprentice!” The people who
Philip nodded at Aslan’s quick response. “That’s right. They set up checkpoints at the city gates just to find the two of us. Luckily enough, they found me.” As soon as Philip said that, everyone gathered around in horror. Even Lyle lost all interest in studying and gathered around to hear what happened. “What happened?” Lyle had no idea what happened to Philip and Aslan, so he was pretty confused. Philip allowed Aslan to tell them the whole story. Aslan was best at bragging and told them everything with extra juicy bits. Lyle's expression became more solemn. He clenched his fist and smashed it to the side. “The people of the Spada Guild are still so arrogant! Philip and Aslan were puzzled by Lyle’s reaction. They always felt that Lyle had a story. “Do you have a grudge against the Spada Guild?” The person who spoke was not Aslan the nosy parker but Philip. He always felt that Lyle had many secrets and hated Imperial City immensely. Lyle was willing to return to I
“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
