Rick put on an air of mystery to attract other people’s attention, and many guilds were interested in Rick. Since Rick could conceal his presence so perfectly, it proved that he was not that weak. He should be quite strong. Although not everyone was hostile to Philip, they were apprehensive of him. “This person is much stronger than you think. If you don't deal with him now, you’ll probably encounter a lot of trouble in the future. Just look at his Razer Guild. It’s a big threat to you now. If his people continue to develop, they’ll replace us sooner or later.” Rick spoke earnestly, fooling everyone with his eloquence. Philip had no idea that this was happening around him. He simply knew that his people had won first place. The reward for this competition was nothing more than Warble Mountain. Even the organizers did not expect that this guild which appeared out of nowhere would win. “That Razer Guild is a tough one. Since you guys are so strong, Warble Mountain is now your
Donald thought his plan was going very well, but Philip and the others thought he was more amusing than a jester. After the competition ended, the old man from the organizing team smiled brightly. “Dear guild leaders, maybe you haven’t heard of this important news yet. Glaze Tower is about to open, and anyone who can pass the test will gain endless rewards.” Upon hearing that, everyone was in an uproar. After a thousand years, Glaze Tower was about to open again. “That’s great. Glaze Tower will open again. I wonder if anyone can pass it this time?” “After a thousand years of preparation, I believe someone will successfully reach the top this time!” “It's hard to say. Many young talents only made it to the fifth floor the last time.” Everyone discussed Glaze Tower cautiously. Philip and the others did not know anything about Glaze Tower, so they listened to the conversations around them curiously. “With this opening of Glaze Tower, many young talents will emerge again.
The guild leaders made small talk, hoping that their guild members would perform well. Glaze Tower had always existed in legends. As it only opened every thousand years, it was one of the most valuable and powerful training grounds on this continent. Glaze Tower contained many ferocious beasts with both powerful strength and ability. Among them was a Dream Eater Beast that was best at creating illusions. This beast would be asleep most of the time during the thousand years. It was not difficult to kill this beast, but the problem lay with the illusions it created. Even though the beast was immersed in its dreams, it could trap someone in its illusion and kill them. It was rumored that only five such beasts existed on this continent. Various mighty beings joined forces and finally captured one beast after sacrificing countless people. This ferocious beast was imprisoned in Glaze Tower. Therefore, although Glaze Tower was a place full of opportunities, it was full of various da
The challenge in Glaze Tower was unlike any other secret realm. One might die if they forced their way inside and challenged their limits. However, that risk was worth taking considering the rewards they might get after successfully passing the attempt. They might suffer some injuries at the beginning of the challenge, but the higher they went, the more likely they might find restrictions on their souls. If the challengers did not withdraw from the battle in time, they might suffer unprecedented damage to their souls to the point of no recovery. By then, not even the most powerful alchemist in the whole continent could help. Making choices was the biggest test of all. Most of the participants were young and promising elite guild members, prized assets of the guilds. It would be a huge blow to the guilds if anything happened to them. For example, the Pill Guild was on the brink of collapse. Most of their members were either killed or injured, so the guild was in bad shape. C
At this time, many people were rushing to Imperial City for this so-called opportunity too. The leaders of the major guilds did not attend in person but sent their powerful members instead. “You have to seize this opportunity and challenge your limits at all costs!” “You’ll make a name for yourself if you can reach the fifth floor or above, and the guild will become very powerful too!” “You have to display all your talents and don’t let us down!” The same conversation happened in different guilds. After a thousand years had passed, the previous outstanding members had long been replaced by a new batch. This was the best time for the major guilds to show their muscles. Meanwhile, Rick took this opportunity to reap many resources from the Pill Guild. Although the guild had suffered some losses, the guild leader had many treasures on hand. Rick felt very triumphant after getting these treasures. “That guy is such a fool for believing me so easily, but in that case, I can
Seeing this, Rick had a sudden flash of inspiration. “I’m a member of the guild. Do you know the Pill Guild?” Rick began to brag about his identity. The guards were less hostile after hearing that. They frowned at Rick and said, “You have to leave anyway. Your guild should provide you with a place to live. Don’t stay here.” Rick smiled at their amicable reaction. He knew what he should do to solve this problem. “I have my reasons for staying here, and I don’t take up much space. I hope you can take it easy on me.” At this point, Rick took out a pill and an energy stone, handing them to the captain of the imperial guards. “As a token of my appreciation, these are for you.” The imperial guards smiled at Rick’s gesture. This amount of money was enough to last them for a while. “In that case, you may stay. Don’t cause any trouble or we’ll take you away.” After saying this, they smiled and left. However, Rick stopped them. “I need your help with something else!” Rick h
“Let’s stay here for the time being. I believe we can pass the challenge with our abilities, but there are risks involved, after all. I just want everyone to try their best.” These members were Philip’s precious students, so he was unwilling to see anything happen to them. Everyone nodded at Philip’s remarks. There should be no problem with their strength. “Don't worry, Philip. We’ll definitely do our best. This challenge is not difficult for us. We can get it done as long as we put some effort into it.” “That’s right, we can also see how strong the others are. Are they really as weak as we think?” Everyone spoke cheerfully, clearly looking down on the guild members of this continent. They were more or less in awe of these unfamiliar people when they first arrived, but after witnessing their so-called powerful strength, they quickly changed their minds. At this time, someone knocked on Philip's inn door. Philip asked someone to open the door, curious to see what was going
“There’s no way you can continue staying here if you refuse to pay up. Not only can we not guarantee your safety, but we’ll also take you away for questioning according to the rules. We know time is of the essence for practitioners like you.” The threat in the other party’s words was clear. This incident would not be over until Philip gave them something. At this time, Lyle came to Philip's side and whispered in his ear, “Philip, this sneaky guy is clearly out for money. We can’t give in to him.” Aslan was annoyed. He hated such bullies the most. He would have kicked the imperial guards out if Philip had not stopped him. “Since there are so many of you, just pay a fee per head. I believe it shouldn't be a problem for you. After all, your guild looks quite large.” The captain signaled a number with his hand, clearly asking Philip to hand over the money quickly. Philip nodded and smiled brightly. “Of course, that's no problem. Aslan, it's your turn to take the stage. You sh
Rabbit hopped around the grandmaster and felt that the latter was not lying. Rabbit had weathered many storms with Philip. He knew that according to human legends, the elves should be noble creatures. They were always arrogant and avoided contact with other creatures. “Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look inside. Who knows if any surprises are waiting for us?” Rabbit comforted Philip, and Black Rabbit was startled by his words. “You seem disappointed by this discovery. It doesn’t make sense to me. Are you really not aware of this situation?” Amid Black Rabbit's confusion, everyone entered the territory to watch the fun. Since the guard was enjoying his wonderful life, he did not pay attention to the invaders. He was supposed to be on duty with another guard today, but he swapped the other guard out because he wanted to be on a date with this female elf. The two were having a great romantic time in the room. Philip and his people entered the territory of the elves w
Later, the humans attacked the stone monsters, leaving the stone woman the only remaining survivor. Then, the elves found her. In the end, she was enslaved and became the gatekeeper of the elves. “Don’t blame me for your bad luck if you refuse to believe me. The humans are not to be trifled with. I’m sure you guys are no match for them,” the stone woman said vehemently. She came here with good intentions to report her findings. She wanted to claim the credit, but the other party disregarded her. The stone woman fought Philip earlier and knew exactly how strong he was. Although she was weaker than the elves, she knew that Philip could crush them easily and they would not be able to do anything about it. The elf warrior who received the message did not report the incident but returned to his station happily. He had been flirting with his female companion before they were interrupted. He had finally found a suitable female elf after so many years of being single, so he had no
Black Rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile and nodded excitedly at Philip. “Don’t worry. I’ll lie to anyone but you. I’ve decided to see you as my master and follow you from now on.” Rabbit was disgusted by Black Rabbit’s flattering look. “We’ll arrive soon. Although that woman is a bit scary, she’s nothing compared to you.” Meanwhile, the stone woman arrived at the elves’ location. Since the forest belonged to them, and coupled with the natural characteristics of a stone, she was very fast and arrived at the elves' territory before Philip and the others. The stone woman knelt at the door and stared ahead in a panic. “Are the elves around? Please come out. I need to speak to you,” the stone woman shouted at the door anxiously. An elf walked out unhappily with a weapon in hand. “Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to die?” The elves were very arrogant and would never allow such an ugly thing to make a fuss at their door. It was not only impolite but also affect
“I know how you managed to survive, but I’m not interested in it. Don’t worry, we’re not one of those people. I won’t do anything to you.” When the stone woman collected the stones, Philip realized that the stones were connected to the woman's body. The stones felt different from ordinary stones because they had been carefully nurtured by the woman, which was quite amazing. “Leave now. Stay no longer. I’m afraid to see humans now.” The stone woman trembled and took several steps back. She entered a cave and refused to show herself again. The stone woman had done no actual harm to them, and she was truly afraid of them. Philip waved his hand and led everyone away without further ado. He was not interested in that ugly woman. Black Rabbit hugged Philip's thigh in fear along the way, feeling extremely nervous. He had thought that Philip and his people were warriors of a certain race, but they turned out to be humans. After joining the humans, he had no way of backing out. He hat
Trapping her opponent with stones was the stone woman’s strongest killing move. Once this method failed, it proved that the opponent was strong—at least not someone she could deal with. At this point, she had no choice but to surrender. However, she had said so many harsh words earlier that she felt too embarrassed to back down now. “Why are you so strong?” Philip and the others did not hide their identities or disguise their appearances with fake ears and tails. The stone woman looked at them in puzzlement. “You don’t have any clear racial distinction, and I don’t sense any racial power in you. Are you humans?” the woman yelled in horror, shocked to see humans roaming freely in the world of the gods. Philip was puzzled, wondering how she came to that conclusion. He thought they looked pretty good. She could hardly determine that they were humans simply because they had no ears or tails. Seeing Philip's confusion, the stone woman knew her guess was right. These people in fr
“Are you looking for the elves? If so, you came to the wrong place. You might've had the chance to see the elves if you had taken a detour at the front, but now that you’re in my territory, you have no chance of getting out alive no matter how strong you are.” Philip nodded at her explanation. “In other words, you’re nothing but a watchdog raised by the elves,” Philip said with a smile. The woman was furious by that remark. “Damn it, go to hell!” The woman waved her hand at the stones on the side, and the stones moved. Everyone watched her actions curiously. “Did you think I managed to live to this day by relying solely on my domain? Hehe, you’re greatly mistaken. I have exactly what it takes to deal with you!” The stones attacked Philip. They were not ordinary stones but humanoid creatures made of stones! They were very tall and seemed determined to crush Philip with sheer size. His exotic fire did not affect them. They were not ordinary stones, and stone was not afraid
The woman was clearly startled by Philip’s remarks. “That’s none of your business!” Before she could say anything else, there was a loud crack, and the domain that the woman was so proud of suddenly shattered. Everyone’s vision was restored to normal, and they saw an ugly woman in front of them. The woman stood in front of them, spitting blood as she glared at Philip with anger and disbelief. “How did you break my domain? That’s impossible! Someone of your level is no match for me!” Philip sneered at the woman’s confidence, “If you had other underhanded tricks, maybe I’d be no match for you, but your level is nothing worth mentioning." Although her domain was powerful for normal people, it was nothing to him. Philip had awakened his own domain ages ago, so he had done some research on this topic. In reality, he did not destroy the other party's domain with his strength but simply shrouded his people in his domain, which he had full control over. After everyone entered h
“No way! Then who held my hand just now? I felt a woman holding my hand. It couldn't be Katie, so who else could it be but you?” Everyone complained, and Philip felt something was wrong. “I didn’t!” Katie quickly clarified. Hearing everyone bickering over it, Philip said, “To be honest, I felt someone holding my hand too. If it’s not one of us, there must be other people in the dark. We need to watch out and don’t let them get their way!” Everyone scowled, surprised by Philip’s remark. At this time, Black Rabbit tentatively grabbed Philip’s pants. “I told you to hurry, but you guys refused to listen. There’s a strange woman who has been living here for a long time! She’s a force to be reckoned with. If possible, we should grope through the dark and leave this place quickly. Don't stay here any longer. It’ll be bad if we lose our lives here!” Black Rabbit said nervously. He had never been here but he had heard the legend of this woman. It was rumored that the woman would c
Black Rabbit had led Rabbit’s brother to join the wraiths. Although he regretted it, he felt proud to have groomed such a loyal subordinate. “Everyone, you need to give it your all. We have no time to lose.” Seeing the sky getting darker, Black Rabbit seemed worried. Everyone felt annoyed by Black Rabbit’s order. “You dare to order us around when your strength has been taken away?” Aslan complained about the arrogant guy. Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously without a word. He knew that Philip was the final decision-maker. The others were Philip's subordinates. Philip did not notice anything strange. Black Rabbit was up to something. Philip did not think he would give them a warning for no reason. While everyone traveled as fast as they could, the whole forest went dark. Everyone frowned at this sudden change. They were traveling under the scorching sun one second ago, but their vision went dark the next second. Something was clearly wrong. “Philip, I can’t see y
