“I could've stayed inside longer to have some more fun, but I had a feeling it wouldn’t do me any good. The last two levels are difficult, and I cherish my life very much.” “Yeah, I wasted so much time inside because I discovered the secret of Glaze Tower.” Everyone chatted with each other as if they were comparing answers after an exam. Hearing the exchange, the onlookers pricked up their ears curiously. They wanted to know the situation above the fifth floor. Hearing the onlookers questioning them curiously, the members were full of contempt. “Do you want to know the secret of Glaze Tower now? Hehe, you can forget about getting information for nothing.” Everyone was full of disdain. They knew these people were up to no good. Except for some newly recruited members who chose to quit on the eighth floor, other veteran members continued the challenge. At this moment, Philip was on the ninth floor. Thick smoke appeared before his eyes and quickly permeated the whole place
Philip left Glaze Tower after collecting everything he could find. The next moment, Glaze Tower dazzled brightly, and a person was teleported out. Everyone stopped talking and walked forward curiously to take a look at the teleported person, who was none other than Philip. Philip walked out leisurely while checking his loot. He had searched every nook and cranny and only chosen to leave after confirming that there were no other treasures in Glaze Tower. After he passed the challenge, however, Glaze Tower rewarded him with other things, which looked quite good. Unexpectedly, Glaze Tower also merged with Philip, becoming one with him. Philip explored Glaze Tower excitedly. It would be best if Glaze Tower really became his private property. He received a lot of information about Glaze Tower, and he could also kick everyone out of it. He could see Aslan and the others accepting the challenges and searching for treasures. If he could see these extraordinary things, Philip was su
After paying the entry fee, they found a serious problem. Glaze Tower would not let anyone in. By right, they simply had to enter Glaze Tower's entrance and the tower would bring them inside to start challenging the first level. However, they stood at the entrance for a while but Glaze Tower did not do anything. “What’s wrong with Glaze Tower? Is it not accepting people anymore?” “If that’s the case, that sounds bad. My fellow guild members are still on their way here.” “What’s going on? Can anyone rectify this problem?” Everyone was horrified by this sudden development. No one owned Glaze Tower, so it was impossible to find a solution. “I’m sure Glaze Tower decided not to let more people inside because someone has passed the challenge. This must be Philip’s fault.” Rick seized the opportunity to pin the blame, glaring at Philip viciously. Lester scowled at this unexpected outcome. Although he had been kicked out of Glaze Tower, he still had the opportunity to enter aga
Rick retreated into a corner dejectedly, trying to think of a way to trigger a conflict between Philip and everyone else. Although there was conflict, everyone hid their emotions without venting their frustrations. At this time, Otto approached Philip privately. He had a good impression of Philip and wanted to know him better. “Have you heard of a place called Deadly Arena?” Otto and Philip sat in a tavern drinking like best buddies. The other members of the two guilds were eating and drinking at other places. Everyone was exhausted after spending so much energy in Glaze Tower over a long duration. “What is it? Is it something like a battle arena?” Philip said curiously. He had never heard of it. Otto nodded. “We can take a transportation tool called a cloud vessel to the Clandestine Continent.” This continent was more than met the eye, and it was famous for the so-called Deadly Arena. Philip’s interest was piqued. After his people had their fill, they arrived at the
The young man’s face was stained with blood, but he did not seem injured. He looked cool and handsome. An older man stood across from the young man. The former clutched his stomach as if trying to stop the blood from flowing. The older man looked at the young man solemnly and said, “Thank you for not killing me. Please excuse me.” The older man left after losing the fight without displaying any anger or staying around to mess with others. The audience cheered like crazed fans and chanted the young man’s name, “Fabian! Fabian!” Everyone was excited to see this mind-blowing scene. Philip observed the young man with a saber in hand. He could tell Fabian was very strong, a force to be reckoned with. The challengers would receive certain rewards, and everyone could make some money by placing bets. Of course, the winner would get more rewards while the loser would receive some compensation. However, that was on the premise that they survived. Everything that happened in Dea
Philip noticed his people’s eager expressions and shook his head helplessly. Since they were here, there was no reason not to take part. He would have let them do it even if they had not asked. Everyone quickly signed up excitedly. Everyone received a name tag, and their names appeared on the huge stone tablet. Everyone had a zero above their names. Their stats were clearly so clean because they did not have any rankings. “Oh? So many little guys signed up! This is really interesting!” “It’s been a while since we saw any fresh faces. It’s interesting to see them sign up for this.” Everyone was interested in these rookies. In their opinion, they were nothing but cannon fodder. They were relatively young and did not seem powerful at all. “How many young talents can there be in the world? There are only a handful of them.” “Most young people can only be seen as pitiful cannon fodder.” Everyone discussed these young people excitedly but did not think highly of them. Heari
Philip certainly knew the workings behind such things, so he never bet with strangers. “Wow, that young man really went on stage. I think he looks very confident!” “Is that kid in his teens? He’s quite good to have reached that level, but his opponent may not be a good person!” Everyone thought Lyle looked pretty good and should be a good candidate for grooming. However, it would be bad if he encountered a ruthless opponent. Some people simply killed without qualms. Although such methods were appalling, it was not uncommon. Most practitioners were courteous and would act within certain limits without stepping out of the line. Lyle quickly stepped on stage. He greeted everyone excitedly and felt satisfied with this extreme challenge. At this time, Lyle’s opponent appeared on stage too. After seeing Lyle's opponent, everyone looked regretful as if they felt sorry for Lyle. They clearly knew Lyle’s opponent quite well. Philip asked the people around him to find out more
The onlookers placed their bets on the brutal middle-aged man. Philip saw the other party's name at this time—Conquistador. It was an impressive name, but he wondered if this person could live up to it. The fight quickly started, and all bets were off. Lyle tested the opponent’s strength and quickly relaxed after confirming he had nothing to worry about. “Hmph, I thought you were very strong by the looks of your aggressive appearance,” Lyle sneered and taunted Conquistador. Conquistador frowned with displeasure. “Huh, you look like a newbie so I’ll tell you something. My family is related to the people behind Deadly Arena. Don’t try to push your luck if you want to stay alive,” he noticed Lyle’s oblivious appearance and reminded him. No one ever dared to kill him because of his identity and reminder. Deadly Arena was a huge force. One had to follow the rules if one wanted to make money from this place. “Oh,” Lyle responded and sighed helplessly. He wondered what Philip
Yule scowled as he tried to recall what happened in the day. “Impossible, I didn't meet any powerful people today. They were all passersby not worth mentioning.” Yule shook his head, trying to clear his mind. He felt that this matter seemed to be related to Philip and Lyle, but he could not pinpoint it. “I can feel that this person is very strong, and you just met them recently. Think carefully if you've met any strangers recently.” Yule scowled as his suspicions became stronger. “I did meet someone recently. His name is Lyle, but he’s not as strong as you described. He’s just a newcomer who made the rookie list.” Mason kept analyzing the situation with Yule, feeling anxious and in disbelief. Finally, Mason decided to approach Philip and Lyle in person. He was very curious about Philip. “I’ll give you his address and you can stake him out. If he’s really that strong, I’ll have to consider the next steps.” Yule sorted his thoughts out. If the other party was really a power
This powerful weaponsmith would forge weapons and sell them to the contenders. After all, weapons were important tools in Deadly Arena. The fighters would be at a disadvantage without weapons. Yule knew that the other party was one of the very few who could forge storage rings. Therefore, this person had to be protected at all costs. A guy in a black robe soon appeared in Yule's room, wondering why Yule summoned him at this time. “Yule, I've completed the task you assigned me. Why are you looking for me at this hour?” The other party looked at Yule in puzzlement. Yule only asked him to set fire to Philip’s house without further instructions. Seeing him, Yule helplessly pulled the other party to sit in the room. “I need to ask you something. I hope you can clarify my doubts.” Yule was very sincere and seemed genuinely curious about something. “Speak your mind. I’ll do my best to answer your question if I can.” The other party's attitude was very good, so Yule quickly rel
Lyle smiled awkwardly. If it had not been for the sudden arson and Lyle rushing out to put out the fire, he would have forgotten about it. In the dead of night, Yule arrived at the house with plans to deal with Lyle and the others. He found out that the man behind Lyle was Philip Clarke, a very powerful person and a force to be reckoned with. He was an expert who easily made the advanced list. Yule felt a little apprehensive at the thought of Philip’s strength. He managed to get to where he was today because of his foresight. He preferred to make friends rather than enemies. After all, he had enough enemies in Deadly Arena. “Forget it, let’s put it aside for now and study my treasure map. Maybe I can soar to great heights after figuring out the secret behind this treasure map.” Yule opened his storage ring to take out the treasure map, but his storage was empty. A storage ring was a valuable treasure, and he had gone through a lot of difficulty to ask his father to get one fo
Although Philip could put out the fire easily, it was no ordinary flame. “No one would be able to put out this fire if it was a normal household.” Philip could tell that the arson was done by a powerful weaponsmith. “These people have gone too far, messing with us for no reason. Since they’re so arrogant about this, let’s show them what we can do.” Aslan was furious. He was sleeping soundly when this happened. He was now wide awake and could not fall asleep again. At this time, Lyle seemed to remember something. He took out a lot of things from his pocket and handed them to Philip. “Philip, I forgot to give you these things. I took them from Yule when he was talking to me. I don’t think they’re worth much. That guy was so disgusting that it was difficult to get something from him.” Lyle had to insult Yule too. Philip was curious about the things Lyle handed him. He was very interested in one particular box. The box contained a large roll of parchment. Although Philip co
Lyle returned to Philip’s side happily and spoke to him excitedly. Philip frowned at Lyle’s quick return and scowled at the crowd. “Brat, you’ve really been slacking off nowadays. You didn't even notice that you were being followed.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Lyle was too oblivious to his surroundings. Lyle was surprised to hear that, and he was embarrassed to find someone targeting him. “No way, how is that possible? I was very careful on my way back. There’s no way anyone could've followed me.” Lyle looked around carefully. He was nervous and felt that something was wrong. At this time, Aslan said helplessly, “You're too careless. I can detect a strange scent on you. Clearly, someone sprinkled some powder on you and tracked you all the way.” Lyle scowled at this development. “This is outrageous. Who did this to me? I’ll rip them into pieces.” Lyle was very angry and wished he could give the other party a good beating. He easily guessed who was following him.
“Hey buddy, I’m sorry to bother you.” Yule's attitude was quite nice. He approached Lyle and looked at him anxiously. Lyle was at a loss to see the guy at his feet. He had no idea why he encountered this mess when he was only here for a meal. “What’s up? I remember you, but the deal between us is over. Don’t try to rip me off,” Lyle exclaimed in mock horror. Yule quickly explained, “I’d like you to explain the whole situation to me again. I can consider giving you another sum of money if you can match the testimony with my man.” Hearing that, Lyle shook his head. He had no time to waste on them. “Forget it, your rough actions have ruined my appetite. I don't want your money. Please don't follow me anymore. It’s annoying.” After saying this, Lyle walked away. Lyle seemed very unhappy as if he was done talking to them. Yule scowled at his disrespect. “Don't you think you've gone too far?” Yule frowned and said unhappily as Lyle tried to leave. Lyle did not look back. He d
The other party quickly told them about the situation, and everyone was fascinated. Suddenly, a roar came from the side. “Arden!” Everyone jerked awake from their enthrallment. They were familiar with this voice and found it odd to hear it. “Did you hear a voice just now?” “I think so. Is it our boss’ voice?” “How is it possible? Are you drunk? Why would he appear in this place?” They knew that their boss was a gentleman and would never step into this place. At this time, the man named Arden was pulled out by his hair. “Ouch!” he screamed in pain, unable to react. More terrifyingly, the person doing it was his boss. He turned and glanced at Yule anxiously.“What’s up with the information you gave me? Why is it different from what I've been hearing? Everyone said there’s no beautiful woman in the forest, only a powerful but ugly woman!” Yule roared as he wrecked the place. Seeing this, the others ran for their lives. Arden was knocked to the ground and had no idea
“Hey buddy, you seem very troubled. Do you know something? Why don’t you tell me about it?” Yule asked curiously. “There’s no point in doing this. You can't find this woman even if you know anything about her.” Philip rolled his eyes. He had matched his testimony with Aslan before this, so he knew exactly what to say. Yule was very excited. He looked at Philip curiously, waiting to hear what he had to say. “This woman has been living in a remote place for a long time, and she’s very powerful. You’re no match for her. I saw her in the beast forest before and know she’s a force to be reckoned with because she almost killed me. Besides, this portrait is too bland. In reality, she has five eyes and looks very scary. “Forget it, I won’t say anymore. It freaks me out just talking about her.” Philip took the money and left, unwilling to stay a second longer. Seeing Philip’s hasty retreat, Yule felt that something was not normal. If this woman was so mysterious, why would so many
Foxy was having tea with Philip, smiling brightly as she did. “So, this is tea made by humans. It smells pretty good. I wonder what it tastes like.” Foxy swallowed the tea in one gulp. Since tea leaves were quite precious, Foxy knew that she was in for a treat. After drinking the tea, Foxy was shocked to find some changes in her body and felt that she had become stronger. At this time, Aslan rushed over anxiously, staring at Philip in disbelief. “Philip, guess what I just heard?” Aslan was very worried about this development. Philip was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with Aslan to say this to him. “Well, since you didn’t guess it right, let me tell you. Someone is making inquiries about Foxy outside.” Philip and Foxy frowned, not expecting this turn of events. “What? What's going on? Tell me in detail. If someone is asking about Foxy, has she been exposed? How is that possible? We've been very cautious about it. How did this happen?” Philip was confused. They covered
