“You got that right. I was wondering why Mom passed away for no reason when she was in good health!” Nero was upset too. He never dreamed that his father’s old sweetheart would harm his mother to that extent. Philip pointed at Neon. “You were facing the same situation, but your reaction wasn't that obvious because you’re still young. You would've probably found your health failing in a few years,” Philip said calmly. Neon grimaced and wished he could kill that woman! No wonder his body was never fully developed. This was the reason! At this time, Nero looked at Philip nervously, wondering if he was affected too. Philip seemed quite good at this, so he wanted to ask Philip to examine him. “Excuse me, sir, can you examine me too?” Nero looked at Philip eagerly, hoping that Philip could solve his problem. Philip scrutinized Nero and found something, indeed. “Have you been feeling weak recently, always feel uncomfortable as if bugs are crawling all over your body? “Do
Nero rushed to Philip and begged Philip to save him. “Philip, it’d be great if you could help me!” Nero looked at Philip expectantly, ready to give Philip all his fortune. “I can give you all my money. Please save me!” Nero said humbly. Philip was not used to such humbleness. “No problem. You just need to buy a pill to save your life. Your problems are not such a big deal. Here you go.” Philip handed a pill to Nero. The pill was sold in his store, so Philip did not think highly of it. Nero was moved by Philip’s words. He took the pill from Philip and swallowed it in one gulp. He respected Philip very much. Philip smiled in satisfaction as Nero took the pill. Neon and the old man stared at Nero curiously, waiting to see what would happen. After Nero took the pill, he was shocked to find some changes happening in his body. The sensation of crawling bugs disappeared, and his limbs became very warm and comfortable. “I feel like I'm back to normal,” Nero said in surprise
Nero and Neon looked at each other, shocked to hear that their father was prepared to kill for them. At the same time, they realized something. “Dad, if she’s that powerful, can we even put up a fight?” Neon asked nervously. Their family members had been suffering for a while, so none of them were very strong. They might have to hire outside help for this. “We need to find some powerful hunters to help us. We can form a large force and go to South City to hunt her down!” Nero was very pissed with the other party for harming him for no reason. Who could bear it? The conflict was between the older generation, nothing to do with them at all. Now that things had progressed this way, he was unwilling to show mercy. “That’s right. Since this woman wants to harm us, we have no reason to hold back. We should let her family members have a taste of their own medicine!” Everyone was eager to take action and vent their frustration. “Buddy, why don’t you help us?” Neon turned his
Aslan was sitting on a stool looking at the scenery, nearly bored out of his mind. Practice was not important to him at all. With his ability, he could improve his strength even if he did not practice, so he simply slept or daydreamed his day away. Aslan smiled brightly to see Philip returning in high spirits. “Hey, Philip, why do you look so excited? Any good news for me?” Aslan greeted him affectionately. Philip nodded. “Declan, I’ll give you a different pill-making method now. I want you to stay here and guide the kids in learning this new method. Learning it as soon as possible will be very beneficial to you,” Philip said with a smile, taping Declan on the head. The next moment, Declan felt as if he had an epiphany and understood many things. “That’s great! I can finally teach Lyle again.” Declan was in a good mood and ran back to his room as if he had regained his youth. The technique Philip taught him could help rejuvenate him. The more he practiced it, the yo
It would be fine if they knew these beasts, but no one recognized them and had no idea where they came from, which was worrying. “Don't panic, everyone. We prepared these beasts as mounts for everyone. The journey will be very slow without them,” Aslan said with smug disdain. These guys were so ignorant. Although Philip had found these beasts from other places, it was embarrassing to see everyone’s reactions to the beasts. Everyone was dumbfounded to hear that the beasts were meant as mounts for them. “Are you sure they can be used as mounts? I feel like they'll eat me alive in one bite!” “Are these the legendary ancient beasts? Why have I never seen them before? I never thought that I’d see one in my lifetime!” Everyone was at a loss because they had never seen these beasts before and could not even name them. They were experienced hunters, but no one knew it. Everyone was flustered and wondered if they should get in the carriage. Neon glanced at Philip. Although h
Everyone realized that the beasts were gone after hearing the wise man’s prompt. This speed was simply daunting. The people who did not get on the carriage regretted it. They finally received a big mission but were disqualified because they did not dare to get on the carriage. It was too late for regrets. The beasts had left. It was impossible for them to reach South City quickly at their speed. These people could only lament in the direction the beasts left. Neon and the others felt the world spinning when they got on the carriage. They finally adapted to it after a while. Right then, Philip knocked on the door. “We’re here. You can come down now,” Philip said. Neon was taken aback and glanced at his brother in confusion. Both of them were still dizzy. Their practice level was quite low, so they did not feel very good at this moment. The stronger people were not so badly affected. They simply felt dizzy, and a moment later, they arrived in South City. This speed was
Neon and the others were different. They were quite weak, so it would be bad if they encountered any trouble now. “Don't worry, I can take care of myself,” Neon nodded and said excitedly to Philip. This trip was indeed exciting, especially for Neon, who had never been outside Imperial City. In the mysterious valley of South City, an old woman was vomiting blood while bedridden. Many people gathered around, worried about her health. “Mom, are you okay? Your health is getting worse by the minute. What happened today?” a man said anxiously by the bedside, shocked by his mother’s condition. His mother had always been very energetic, leading everyone in the valley to practice their secret techniques. However, her health started deteriorating this morning. First, she vomited blood, and her body twitched all over. Now, she could not even walk. “Based on what you taught us, are you suffering a backlash?” the young man asked with doubt and caution. If his mother suffered a b
The young man's name was Abell Lauder, the most outstanding young talent in this valley. As the descendant of the old woman, his talent was unparalleled. “If I’m not mistaken, they’ll be here soon.” The man sat on the stool and closed his eyes as if he had anticipated everything. Abell grimaced in surprise to hear that. “Don’t worry, Dad. So what if they're here? I won’t show them any mercy.” Abell was still kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on. He only knew that he had to defend his mother. The old woman was not happy that her secret had been exposed. She had planned to keep everything a secret. In fact, the old woman had harmed more than one person. Most people who knew her secret had been killed. She left only one man to carry on the family line for her. If the old woman could stand up and resist, she would kill her husband at once. However, her strength was slowly failing. She would probably die if she did not get treatment soon. “Find a white
“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.
