Philip was getting impatient from waiting. He thought someone would come to the rescue soon and he could have some fun, but these people were so slow that it was ridiculous. He asked someone to take Hogster out of the woodshed and glared at the trembling guy in dissatisfaction. Hogster had been beaten very badly and knew how strong Philip was. Not to mention Philip, he could not even beat a measly rabbit, so his self-confidence had fallen to rock bottom. If he could not get back at them, it would ruin his mental state for sure. For a practitioner, any impact on their mental state was a serious incident. It might render someone unable to practice again. Hogster had always been lauded as a prodigy. Ruining his mental state would be equivalent to total destruction. Without any advantages or strengths to begin with, it would be even worse from now on. Hogster trembled as he kneeled in front of Philip. He felt like crying. He wondered what was taking his father so long to resc
Philip frowned at the people who had ruined his clean yard. “That’s enough. Get out of my sight. I won’t keep you anymore. I don’t want more mouths to feed!” Philip waved his hand unhappily. Everyone was surprised that Philip would let them go. Hogster laughed in his mind. He knew that this would be the worst decision Philip made. Hogster might have had to suffer a few more beatings if Philip had kept him, but since Philip had decided to release him, Hogster would tell his father everything. Knowing his father's protective nature, he would rip Philip into pieces. Although Hogster was aware of Philip’s strength, a few of them could hardly stand up against a large force like the Hexa Guild. It would be a spectacle once the Hexa Guild took things seriously. At least, Philip would never survive the ordeal. Hogster vowed to torture the disgusting rabbit and roast it over a fire to eat. The rabbit was too much for bullying him. No one could tolerate it. So what if Philip’s pe
After all, they could not control the other party’s actions, and no one knew what would happen. The Hexa Guild had always been famous for sneak attacks and was quite good at them. “I think we shouldn’t let them go. It’s best to kill them. If their guild turns up at the door, we can just deny it!” Hearing that, Philip choked on his tea and started coughing. Women were vicious, indeed. He simply wanted to give them a hard time, but Vanna wanted to kill them outright. “Don't worry, I'm not afraid of their sneak attacks. I’m just worried that they’re too lousy and won't be able to entertain me.” Philip chuckled, not worried about their strength at all.… Meanwhile, Hogster had finally regained his freedom and ran as fast as he could. The guild members under his command ran miserably too. They never thought that they could escape alive. It was a blessing. After being locked up for so long, they forgot the purpose of their trip. Many people were disgusted at the sight of the
“Open the door for me at once. I need to wash and change!” Hearing that, the guild member opened the door and ushered Hogster in, fearing that Hogster would make things difficult for him. Hogster was a temperamental person. He would be doomed if he offended Hogster. His life in the guild would never be easy again. Hogster could not be bothered with the guild member and simply left. He had to go back to wash and tidy up his appearance. Before he returned to his room, he bumped into his father, who was passing by the door. Alain Bacon was a clean freak and would never allow such sloppiness. He almost went mad with anger when he saw a man with a foul smell appearing in the guild. “What’s up with your appearance?” Alain was not a fool and immediately recognized his son. He trembled in anger when he took a closer look at his son. Hogster started crying at the sight of Alain. In his panic, he wanted to hug Alain. Alain backed away, unwilling to have any contact with him. “H
“In that case, let’s show them the power of the Hexa Guild. I’ll send some powerful members to raze that shabby place to the ground!” With a wave of his hand, Alain summoned an elder and ordered him to take some people and deal with Philip. Hogster was very excited when he saw that elder, who was very strong. He would regain his dignity once this elder took action. “Let me go with the third elder. I want to see Philip begging for mercy at my feet. I want to show them the power of the Hexa Guild!” Hogster said aggressively as if he was sure that Philip would be dealt with. Alain did not refuse Hogster's request. Even if Hogster had not brought it up himself, Alain would have asked him to go along. Practice required a stable mind. After suffering so badly, Hogster’s mental state had definitely been greatly affected, so he had to recover from that blow. The best way to regain his confidence was to deal with the culprit or better, kill him. “Third Elder, I’ll count on you. I’m
Before Hogster could go into his room to clean up, Alain could not bear it any longer and performed a cleansing spell. Hogster was finally clean and no longer smelled. “Third Elder, wait for me. I’ve been locked up for a while and haven’t adjusted yet!” As Hogster chased after the group, the other members ran so quickly that Hogster could not keep up. Dennie ran faster, hoping to lose Hogster. He was so weak that he would not be able to help Dennis even if he caught up. Soon, Petal City became boisterous as a large group of outsiders in uniform entered the city. They looked angry as if someone offended them, so they were probably here to cause trouble. The onlookers panicked at this scene and gave way to them. No one wanted to get beaten for no reason, so they would rather avoid the outsiders. Dennis was full of disdain at their reaction. “What a bunch of cowardly commoners.” They looked like lowly civilians whose lives were worthless. Dennis always enjoyed gazes of adm
Lazlo had tried making contact with someone from a guild back then, but they ignored him and even mocked him, which was a great blow to him. Due to this, Lazlo vowed to develop his family so that he would not lose out to the guilds. No matter what he did, however, there was a big gap between a family and a guild. The guilds were too strong. The members they trained could easily crush normal people. On the other hand, a family placed more importance on wealth, so the two parties pursued different things. Even if Lazlo wanted to pursue power, he could not develop his people without a proper technique on hand, so he could only give up and focus on running his business in the end. He wanted to ride on the coattails of the guilds, but it was easier said than done. He vowed to get in touch with these people even at the risk of his life if he ever found a chance. He had no idea that he had missed the best opportunity to forge a connection with a guild. If he had treated Vanna a litt
At this time, one of Hogster’s followers stepped forward. He had been with Hogster the whole time, so he was aware of the situation. He felt very sorry for himself when he suffered a beating together with Hogster previously. “That’s right, we’re no match for him. He’s very strong. Even though Hogster is a young prodigy, he couldn’t get an upper hand at all. This man also has a powerful rabbit. You must be careful not to fall for their tricks!” The guild member kindly warned Dennis, but it sounded more like mockery to Dennis' ears. Dennis’ scowl grew bigger. He felt like these people were joking with him. “Young lad, I don’t want to make things difficult for a junior. Since you’re in the wrong, just apologize to our young heir on your knees and we’ll consider this matter over. I don't want to take action against you.” Dennis was very concerned about his reputation and did not want to tarnish it at this age. It would be a disgrace if anyone found out that he took action agains
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
