Members of the Wagner family nodded vigorously, and even those who were not participating in the competition were excited. Everyone knew that they had to win, whether for the family or their personal honor. The young man taking part in the competition laughed smugly. As a grown man, how could he lose to a child? It would be too embarrassing if he lost! Defeat never crossed his mind, so he immediately sprang into action when the alarm rang. He launched a fierce attack without further ado, trying to end the fight quickly and show the child his powerful strength. However, when he charged at his opponent at full speed, the child was gone! The kid was nowhere to be found as if he had vanished into thin air. “You’re too slow.” A delicate voice sounded from behind him, and the child appeared in front of him. The guy was sent flying out of the battlefield with a kick before he realized what was going on. According to the rules, the fight would be over once one party died or was sent
“That kid is amazing. He must be the descendant of a powerful being!” “You’re right. There’s no way a normal kid can reach that level. I can’t believe that Philip is capable enough to get someone so powerful to work for him!” The deep-sea merfolk were deep in a discussion. They thought Philip was simply lucky, not powerful. “If it weren't for his good luck, he probably wouldn't even make it through the preliminary round!” Before long, the deep-sea merfolk focused on their own battle because they found Tangy retreating repeatedly. Everyone knew how strong Tangy was. As the strongest fighter among them, he could at least fight Ronan to a draw. He could easily crush the losers from other families in a matter of minutes. Despite that, Tangy was unable to handle Ronan, which was simply unbelievable. “What's going on? Is Tangy going to lose?” Nolly was flustered. If Tangy lost, their plan to deal with Philip would be ruined. They planned to get rid of Philip during the fight.
Tangy nodded. He would never show any sign of weakness. Tangy knew that Nolly wanted him to continue the battle against Philip. It was also one of his dreams, so he would never give up so easily. “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll never let Philip leave this place alive. Since we can’t defeat him openly, let’s settle it in private. I believe he’ll fall into our hands eventually,” Tangy said viciously. He thought of a plan to deal with Philip. “But you need to take care of the kid under Philip’s command. He’s so strong that I think he has awakened his latent ability. I don’t think I’m a match for him.” After careful observation, Tangy determined that the kid had awakened his latent ability. Nolly nodded in agreement. It would be embarrassing if they failed to seek revenge. More importantly, they made such a big fuss yesterday and even vowed to deal with Philip. This situation was embarrassing enough already. “Let’s do this…” They discussed privately and quickly decided o
Ferocity flashed in Cameron’s eyes. If Ronan refused, things would be difficult. Cameron would never allow such a strong enemy who had a grudge against the family to stay alive. Anyone who posed a threat to the family would arouse his killing intent. Other family members gathered around and expressed their dissatisfaction with Ronan. “Who does he think he is? Is it beneath him to have lunch with us? He really thinks he's a big shot!” “Does he think we’re unworthy to eat with him? How ridiculous!” Everyone complained and thought Ronan was an arrogant person. Ronan was not bothered about their opinions of him at all. He wished they could treat him as their enemy. “Your performance was quite good. The deep-sea merfolk are probably furious by now,” Philip said with a smile. Ronan's performance was indeed outstanding, and his extraordinary actions humiliated the other party. “They must've decided to mess with you during the finals, but I ruined their plan. I’m sure they’ll
Ronan gave Philip a thumbs-up as everyone returned to their meals. His words really carried some weight to command these people with just a casual remark. Philip was unfazed by the compliment. He was staring at a person. To be precise, he was looking at a curtain where a woman behind the curtain was staring at Philip too. She was the owner of this diner, and she was not a human but of a humanoid race. She had the upper body of a human, which was very beautiful and attractive. Anyone would be attracted by her beauty with just one glance. However, she had the lower body of a snake. The diners would turn their heads from time to time and look at the curtain as if trying to catch a glimpse of that woman. A gust of wind would ruffle the curtain from time to time, allowing everyone to see the woman’s face and marvel at her beauty from the bottom of their hearts. Philip sneered at their reaction. They were really stupid for not realizing that she was half-human with a snake’s tail.
The diners were surprised at this scene. As frequent customers, they had never seen the owner appear in person, let alone greet someone. The owner actually took the initiative to walk out today. “Sir, you don’t have to wait any longer. Please take a seat in the private room reserved for you.” The snake woman smiled brightly, obviously very interested in Philip. All the male diners were jealous and wished they had the same opportunity. However, she was here for Philip and ignored everyone else. She did not even spare anyone a glance as she walked away. Although everyone was jealous, they knew that Philip was a capable person. The woman approached Philip probably because of his extraordinary talent, so there was nothing they could do about their jealousy. They had taken part in the competition as well and knew how strong Philip's people were. Just one kid alone took the Wagner family down.Some people felt indignant and wanted to mess with Philip. At this time, a kid walked
Ronan was surprised to see Selma’s true appearance. Of course, he knew about the numerous humanoid races in this world, but he had never seen this type before. “I’ve heard of snake people who can either turn into snakes or humans. What's your situation?” Ronan was curious, but he accepted this situation very well. “That’s the reason I want to approach you.” Selma shook her head helplessly. “Our race is very unique. We don't know who our ancestors are and have never entered any territory related to humans or humanoid races. We're neither snake people nor humans but a special race of our own. Before every storm, we feel sore all over and shed a layer of skin.” Philip was curious. That description sounded very weird. Ronan was more knowledgeable about this topic, so Philip wanted to learn more about the snake people from him. “As far as I know, snake people don't have this problem. They’ll only shed their skin after reaching a certain age, unlike the situation you mentioned.”
Selma’s question reminded Philip that such myths and legends did not exist in this world, so they would not know who Quetzalcoatl was. Philip was willing to help because he thought that this woman was very likely a descendant of Quetzalcoatl. Only Quetzalcoatl looked like this in the myths. Quetzalcoatl was a deity with a human body and a snake tail similar to Selma. She was beautiful and was said to have played a key role in the world’s creation. Although Philip had no idea what ability Selma had, he could tell that she was not weak—at least much stronger than he imagined. If the dumb diners outside thought that Selma was a pushover, they could not be more mistaken. She could not only wring their necks easily but also obliterate them. “I just recalled a mysterious legend. I can’t be sure of your origins. Maybe we can find something when we enter the so-called secret realm. I’ll set off after the family competition.” Philip quickly got some information about their family an
“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.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
