It would be fine if Selma was so unique that Ronan could not tell her situation, but what about the woman in front of him? “You must have some unique abilities to become the host of this competition. I don't want to do anything to you. I just want to get my rabbit back. If you refuse to let go of him, don’t blame me for doing anything.” Philip beckoned Rabbit, and Rabbit appeared in Philip's hand. Ariadna grabbed Rabbit in a panic, but it was useless. She could not control Rabbit at all. “How did you do that?” Despite thinking about it, Ariadna could not imagine why Philip’s control over Rabbit was so strong. “You stole it from my hands!” Ariadna's hands were shaking. She had been absorbing Rabbit’s energy before Philip arrived. Although it was just a small portion, it was enough for Ariadna to practice for a while. She was going to absorb more, but Philip turned up at her door and took Rabbit away. She could not accept this huge blow. “Give the rabbit back to me!” By
“So, what is she?” Although she did not show obvious characteristics, Philip could tell that she was not human. “Don't ask me. I don't know. I just know how wicked she is. How could she hurt Rabbit so badly?” Ronan shook his head helplessly, feeling sorry for Rabbit. He just wanted to find love but ended up like this. “I think Ronan is right!” Rabbit nodded thoughtfully. In hindsight, Rabbit could not figure out why he was attracted to her. “She’s a spider,” Selma interrupted. Everyone was shocked. That creature was a spider! “How could she conceal herself so well? Is she the same as you?” Indeed, Philip thought she concealed herself very well. At least Philip could not recognize her identity. Hearing this, Selma shrugged helplessly. “I don’t know if there’s another example like me, but I know that she’s not easy to deal with. She freaks me out.” Rabbit felt like throwing up when he heard that the woman was a spider. “What? A spider? I actually took a bath with
Rabbit was confined by Philip while the others stayed there by choice, so he became more frustrated as time went by. “What’s wrong with staying here? I feel that I've improved a lot during this time!” the water monster said with smug excitement. “That's right. My withered wood has revived, and we nurtured a small tree too.” The two tree monsters lowered their heads shyly, feeling very happy too. Rabbit rolled his eyes at them. “The outside world is very fun with various things going on and interesting people to see. You’ll only become more ignorant by staying here. You need to explore the world from time to time. Philip has mentioned that you can go out anytime you want!” Rabbit tried to persuade them. Rabbit could not figure out why they enjoyed staying inside so much. This place was boring with nothing to do, but they could stay there for so long at ease. Their perseverance was simply amazing. “You don't understand at all. We have our loved ones here, and we can also im
“Have you ever seen a spider woman?” Ronan tried to scare the waiter. He hated such people who lost their minds because of superficial looks. There was no point for them to continue living. The waiter frowned and looked into the distance. He had contacted the owner of the tavern, but he was not here yet! “Forget it. Let’s go.” Philip wanted to find out more about the spider woman, so he urged everyone to leave. Staying would only cause unnecessary trouble. Everyone agreed and turned away from that foolish waiter. The waiter was very angry at this scene and wanted to attack Philip. Someone noticed his reaction and reminded him, “As a waiter, I’m surprised that you’re bold enough to speak so rudely to him.” “It seems that I’ve underestimated your guts.” “I think you’re lucky to stay alive. Alas, you should listen to more gossip when you have time!” Everyone sighed and agreed that the waiter was very lucky. Indeed, the waiter was not updated with recent gossip. He had
The waiter was very scared and wanted to beg for mercy. “Oh no, I offended that person this time! Please help me out. How can I ask for his forgiveness?” This world followed the laws of the jungle. He felt that he was in danger of dying. Everyone sneered and ignored him. The waiter’s mistake had nothing to do with them.… As the waiter suffered a mental breakdown, Philip returned to Selma's residence. Selma and her people had been doing business in this place for a while. Although they had not found someone to help them solve the crisis, they still made a lot of money. Philip sighed in amazement at the sight of her luxurious house. “I can’t believe your good taste. This house is luxurious at first glance. Ordinary people won't appreciate such a place.” Philip was not referring to the luxurious decoration style but the materials used. Philip sensed an energy-gathering formation too. An energy-gathering formation was a lost art whether in this world or other worlds. Alth
The others were not so quick on the uptake and were still thinking about the spider woman. “Selma, since you know that spider woman, maybe you can tell us more about her.” Philip went straight to the point. “In return, I’ll modify your energy-gathering formation.” Selma nodded at the suggestion. “No problem, I’ll tell you what I know.” Hearing that, Philip waved at the open space in front of him, uprooting the energy-gathering formation that was buried underground. Everyone was stunned by the sight, especially the butler, who almost went crazy. It never occurred to him that Philip would so easily dig out the energy-gathering formation they had worked so hard to hide. “What the hell?” He looked at Philip in horror, shocked by his action. Philip shook his head. “This so-called energy-gathering formation is so indiscreet that it even has a solid entity. Are you inviting others to steal it?” Philip calmly manipulated the energy-gathering formation, which soon vanished from th
Philip gathered some important information through the exchange and knew that the spider woman would come after him. She had absorbed a small part of Rabbit's abilities, which left some traces of Rabbit in her. If she could not fully absorb Rabbit's abilities, she could not stay alive. “She has a week to look for Rabbit. If she fails, she dies.” Philip relaxed. He was still thinking about how to find that spider. It was great to know that she would have no choice but to come to him now. Even if she turned up at the door, however, Philip would not kill her for the time being. He was quite interested in this mysterious race and wanted to find out more about it. Even if he wanted to kill her, he would do it after making things clear. “Although I don't know where you took Rabbit, I can no longer sense his presence. If you don’t bring Rabbit out, I’m afraid that woman won’t know where to find you.” Philip was exasperated to hear how useless that woman was. If he had known abou
Philip was quite interested in the token and knew that he had to get hold of one to find out more. Selma and her people were pretty good, so Philip was embarrassed to take the token away from them. Philip had no choice but to put all his hopes on Ariadna. She had to pay a price for messing with him and Rabbit. That price was to let Philip study the token. Philip and the others stayed with Selma for the time being. The Claude family was very anxious, but Philip and his team showed no signs of having anything to do with them. Ronan did not speak to them about the competition at all. The deep-sea merfolk followed Philip and arrived at Selma’s house. They were much smarter than Ariadna and left a trace on Philip instead. Philip did not remove the trace but kept it instead. He wanted them to find him. He was not afraid of trouble. He felt that the deep-sea merfolk were quite interesting, and messing with them could relieve his boredom. “Chief, we have been waiting for so l
“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
