When everyone looked back, they saw a crowd of people in black martial arts uniforms pouring in from the entrance of the venue! A big golden dragon was embroidered on their chests. The people of Dragon Gate! The leader was a middle-aged man who walked briskly. His face was stern and majestic, and he was glaring at the people of the Lopez family. Jeremy Yarner! The master of Dragon Gate! He was also an honorary expert of the National Martial Arts Association. He had been practicing martial arts for 30 years and could be considered a true expert! Dragon Gate had more than 200 apprentices and was the largest martial arts hall in Uppercreek! He was also the person in charge of this World Martial Arts Exchange. Jeremy’s reputation was relatively well-known in the country. He had represented national martial arts in the martial arts arena in the world and won many awards. Moreover, he was also one of the hopeful candidates to take over the Jensen family’s position as the
“Damian!” Instantly, a few people from Dragon Gate surrounded them angrily! “Javi Lopez, how dare you hurt him?!” The disciples of Dragon Gate exploded, glaring at Javi furiously and shouting. Javi merely glanced contemptuously at Damian who was constantly vomiting blood and said nonchalantly, “I already held back. I just made him mute. Is this the strength of Dragon Gate? If so, I’ll give up the challenge. You guys are too lousy! I didn’t expect that the so-called national martial arts that was passed down for thousands of years to be such a rubbish display of moves! In that case, you should just go home and dance!” Hiss! The onlookers gasped. Javi Lopez was truly showcasing his arrogance! Jeremy’s eyes almost bulged with rage as he asked his disciples to send Damian to the hospital. Then, with cold eyes, he stared at Javi and clenched his fists, shouting, “Fine! I, Jeremy Yarner, will personally accept the challenge from Javi Lopez!” Uproar! The crowd boiled wit
Hearing that, the onlookers shuddered! What an arrogant tone! He actually wanted Javi to go down on his knees and apologize? Did he not know that the current Lopez family was in full swing and had the utmost right to speak in the Fusha martial arts circle? Moreover, they were one of the top candidates for the next board of directors of the World Martial Arts Association! Asking the Lopez family to apologize was the same as asking the entire Fusha martial arts community to apologize. How was that possible? That was too presumptuous! Jeremy was also shocked by Philip’s tone. He could not help nodding and praised Philip in his heart. Very courageous and bold! If possible, he wanted to accept Philip as a disciple! If Philip knew his thoughts, he would probably roll his eyes. Philip did not even accept when Jacob Jensen offered him the Jensen family’s kung fu. Was Jeremy’s status in the martial arts world comparable to that of Jacob’s? Of course, these were thing
“Here they come.” Jeremy’s eyes were getting cold as he said in a deep voice. “Yeah, here they come,” Philip echoed. “Javi, don’t be rude! This is Dragon Gate, not our Lopez family!” The person who came was a middle-aged man. He was walking briskly with his eyes as sharp as a falcon’s. He was sporting a small beard. He was followed by martial arts delegates who were all members of the Fusha Martial Arts Association. Many were also members of the World Martial Arts Association. Rafael Lopez! The current patriarch of the Lopez family! Javi’s father! He was the one who single-handedly integrated the forces of Fusha’s boxing circle and firmly took the throne as the first family of boxing. This man was meticulous, ruthless, ambitious, and was rated as the most outstanding boxing master in Fusha! “Father! These wretches are humiliating the Lopez family’s boxing! They can’t even beat us, so how dare they stop us?!” Seeing his father, Javi immediately said indignantly.
With a roar, the entire small square was buzzing! All the disciples of Dragon Gate were ready to fight. However, Rafael’s expression was calm as he said, “Jeremy, we’re here tonight as representatives of Fusha boxing to participate in the martial arts exchange meeting. Is this how you show your hospitality? Since your skills are not as good as ours, you want to suppress the Lopez family while we’re here?” After Rafael said these words, the Fusha people behind him all stared at Jeremy and the others angrily. “Wretches! Your methods are despicable! Trying to suppress the Lopez family when you can’t beat us in a fair fight!” “Shameful!” “This must be reported to the World Martial Arts Association! We must expose the ugly face of national martial arts and let the world see the true face of your martial artists!” All the accusations sounded like a script that had been prepared a long time ago, meant to bring injustice to national martial arts. At the scene, there were also m
The surrounding noise gradually quietened. Everyone could see that Jeremy was under immense pressure from the World Martial Arts Association. Would he apologize? If he disobeyed orders from the World Martial Arts Association, Jeremy would be expelled. All the benefits would be gone, and he would also be punished by the martial arts circles of various countries! Everyone's eyes were fixed on Jeremy. Some were unhappy, others were reproachful, and a few were gloating. Most of the citizens of the country were full of anger! The World Martial Arts Association working with Fusha was simply intolerable! National martial arts had the richest legacy and the longest history in the world! Now, they were being made to apologize to the small Lopez family of Fusha! It was sad and deplorable! Sigh! With a sigh, Jeremy slowly began to bend his waist. “No, Master Yarner!” “Don’t do this! You’re one of the representatives of national martial arts. You can’t apologize to the Lope
When Deegan heard Philip’s words, he was very angry and shouted, “Impudence! How dare a piece of trash like you say such nonsense about the World Martial Arts Association?! Let go of me at once. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!” “Sure,” Philip replied, and the strength under his feet increased! “Argh!” Deegan let out a miserable cry, and his face was flushed red! Crack! He could clearly feel that his ribs were being crushed by this guy, bit by bit! Pain! Excruciating pain! It was so painful he could not breathe! Deegan could not withstand it anymore and shouted at Jeremy who was standing there, “Jeremy Yarner, tell your disciple to stop at once! If you continue doing this, the World Martial Arts Association will definitely retaliate!” Right from the start, Deegan believed that such an arrogant boy as Philip was Jeremy’s disciple. However... Jeremy shook his head and said with a shrug, “I’m sorry, Secretary Wake, but he’s not my disciple.” “What?” Deegan was tak
However... Under everyone’s gaze, Philip stood with his arms behind him. His eyes were like burning torches as he stared fixedly at Rafael’s punch that was incoming. This guy was so calm! Ronnie was very anxious, wishing that he could take this punch for Philip! Everyone believed that Philip would be crippled if not dead! After all, he had angered Rafael Lopez of the Lopez family from Fusha! At the critical juncture! Suddenly! A beast-like roar sounded at the entrance of the main hall, carrying an overwhelming pressure with it. It shocked everyone! “A small Lopez family actually dares to make a move against the noble Young Master Clarke?! Do you still put Jacob Jensen in your eyes?!” This roar directly shocked everyone's hearts! Rafael’s punch stopped about half an arm’s distance from Philip’s heart and could not advance another inch! It was because a white figure was already standing next to Philip, full of majestic coercion! In mid-air, a wrinkled arm full o
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
