“A misunderstanding?” Without waiting for Fulton to respond, Philip snorted coldly as he stared mockingly at Rafael Lopez and the six Majors behind him. That smile of his made the several Majors tremble. What was this guy trying to do? “Mr. Clarke, if we’ve done anything wrong, I, Rafael Lopez, will apologize to you.” Rafael frowned and made the biggest concession. He did not have a choice. The eyes of this godlike figure in front were locked on them the entire time. Philip smiled and said, “Very well. Here, take the microphone. The camera is over there. Apologize to me in front of all the audience. Can you do that?” Crack! Rafael’s fists that were hidden in his sleeves were almost crushed to pieces by his force! This audacious brat was simply too much! “Mr. Clarke, there’s no need to take things so far, right? After all, we have some cooperation and cultural exchange between Fusha martial arts and national martial arts.” Rafael’s eyes flickered as his expressio
The solemn rebuke resounded throughout the audience! The entire venue fell silent at this moment! Everyone looked at the two opposing groups of people on the high platform. This scene was also broadcasted live to the world! The representatives of national martial arts were confronting the representatives from the Fusha martial arts circle! All the citizens in the venue waited with bated breath! They had tears in their eyes for some reason, especially when they saw the group of people led by Philip making such a forceful declaration against Fusha martial arts under the global spotlight. It was so emotional! They were too excited! For many years, they had weathered the hardships through the storms and devastation. Many emotions were buried in their flesh and blood, engraved in their bones! Today was a day worthy of commemoration by all the descendants of national martial arts as well as the citizens of the nation! Everyone looked forward to it! Immediately after,
As long as they took over the position as director of the board of the World Martial Arts Association, the Lopez family and even the Fusha martial arts circle would have unprecedented opportunities for development! No matter how powerful the national martial arts was, these people would not dare to openly confront the World Martial Arts Association. That would be risking a confrontation with the entire world! However, Philip smiled faintly with a shrug and said, “You can make a call and ask what your Lopez family's position in the World Martial Arts Association is now.” Hearing this, Rafael frowned and asked coldly, “What do you mean?” Rafael sensed a hint of danger. Especially when he saw the look in Philip's eyes, he could tell that the other party seemed to be very confident. Did he have a trump card? Was it possible that he could even control the World Martial Arts Association? Impossible! That was an international association, an alliance of martial arts families
This apology was heard by the entire audience and the viewers all around the world watching the live broadcasts! The Lopez family had officially bowed their heads to the national martial arts! At this moment, the entire venue was abuzz! Many people hugged each other and cried for joy! It had not been easy! The national martial arts had been in decline in recent years and was constantly criticized by many people, even humiliated by foreign martial arts circles. The inheritors of the national martial arts, as well as the disciples of national martial arts families, had long had enough! Among them, the Fusha martial arts circle had been targeting the national martial arts. In major competitions, the criticism toward and humiliation of national martial arts had never stopped! However, today, the Lopez family, the first family of Fusha boxing, apologized to the national martial arts! Everyone was excited! Many heads and disciples of national martial arts families had red
Mitch Cole continued, “Are you aware of the 12 Sacred Halls of the West, Young Master?” Philip nodded and said, “I know a little about their existence. You may continue.” “According to the comprehensive information we received, a total of four forces from different halls have snuck in during the world tournament earlier. We have arranged for monitoring and tracking of these people in batches.” While Mitch was talking, the monitoring screen simultaneously displayed the personnel distribution of the four forces of the halls. “We have identified the identities of these people. They belong to Hades, the King of the Underworld, and Poseidon, the God of the Sea. We have yet to determine the remaining two forces,” Mitch said. Philip’s eyes twitched as he looked at the monitoring screen. He fell into deep thought before asking, “Have you found out what’s their intention?” Mitch shook his head and said, “We don’t know yet. Earlier, these people just pretended to be part of the crowd
On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man’s voice said heartily, “No problem. I’ll dispatch however many people you need and make immediate arrangements for you.” Philip thought for a while and gave an estimate, “Three combatant squads.” “Sure. Will it be enough? If not, I can send more,” Tim Clarke replied. Philip smiled and said, “It’s enough. Too many will only attract attention.” The reason for this personnel transfer was just to make a trip to Country M and visit the Hall of Hades. Too many people would make it difficult to cross the border. Tim hummed before saying in a low voice, “By the way, I need to ask you. Did you detain Connor Clarke, Allen Clarke, and Levi Clarke of the branch family?” Tim had heard of this news before but never paid much attention to it. It was a fact that the branch family had crossed the line. It was time for them to face the repercussions. “Yes, I did. Why? Did the branch family go to the main family and demand for their rel
After hanging up the phone, Philip did not stay here for long but returned to the hotel with Josh and the others. The aftermath of the world tournament was handed over to the Jensen family. As for Connor Clarke and the rest, they were being watched over by Theo’s people. They were simply confined in a hotel without any other excessive treatment. Several of them were confined in the room with good food and drinks. They just could not communicate with the outside world. “It’s too hateful! How dare Philip detain us like this?!” Allen was very emotional at the moment, pacing around the room with a face full of anger! Connor took it in stride. He sat on the sofa calmly, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. He said, “Allen, don't wander around. Just sit and be at ease. I'd like to see what that little guy can do.” “Connor, why are you so calm? Philip is trying to make a move against our branch family!” Allen’s face was full of resentment. That damned little Philip! Ho
When did this kid arrive? Had Philip heard their conversation just now? Connor’s face darkened as a cold glint appeared in his eyes. Allen and Levi also panicked. After all, what they had just discussed was too confidential. They wanted to step over the line and attempt to seize the main Clarke family’s power! Anyone who heard it would be surprised! Furthermore, standing at the door was the heir of the Clarke family, Philip Clarke! This was bad! Levi glanced at Connor and whispered, “Grandpa, what should we do? Do you think he heard everything?” Levi was still a little flustered. After all, if the main family heard those treacherous words just now, he could really be expelled from the Clarke family! Even the branch family would be in trouble! This kind of thing had to be done in secret. If it was let out in the open, it would be challenging the prestige of the main family! However, Connor looked at Philip who was walking in with a calm expression and asked gravely
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
“What the hell did you do? Give Philip back. Stop messing around!” Aslan threatened the stone man. Aslan knew that the stone man must have taken Philip to a dangerous place. Philip must have been taken into a barrier or an unknown and terrifying place. Anyway, the stone man must be up to no good! The stone man calmly ignored them. “I’m your only opponent. I don't know how many stone people there are in the outside world, but as far as I know, I’m the only stone man in this world. “Since Philip is that powerful, I’ll give him six hours. If he can leave my secret realm, I’ll let you go. If not, be prepared to die.” After saying that, the stone man laughed wickedly and vanished from the spot, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. No one knew where he had gone, and no one knew what was going on. The people of the major races summoned their people in a panic. No matter what, they had to find the way out. “Hurry up and find an exit. We can't put all our hope
“Let’s walk ahead. I believe this is an illusion created by the stone man to confuse us. As long as we stay calm, he can’t do anything to us,” Philip said calmly as if he knew what was going on. He and Rabbit walked forward and soon saw a huge oasis in front of them. Rabbit was delighted to see the oasis because that meant there was still hope for them. Although the desert environment was harsh, they should be able to bump into some indigenous people and figure out what was going on. “Philip, are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see an oasis ahead of us. This is great. In that case, we can find a way out!” Rabbit knew that Philip had been looking for a way out but to no avail. Something had to be preventing him from doing it. They might have to pass a test before they could leave. In that case, they had to figure out the secret. Philip glanced at the oasis in front of him and relaxed a little. At least, he could tell that it was not a mirage. They excitedly ran to the oasi
The black shadow was not bothered about revealing its identity because it liked being a stone man. “The stone people have strong minds and a firm resolve. They're never as disgusting and selfish as humans. It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to develop. I found a fragmented scroll that recorded some techniques for development. Among them is a technique most suitable for the stone people to become stronger through a sacrificial ritual.” The stone man seemed very earnest as he explained the details, but he was, in fact, using this time to solidify his body until he was finally complete. “Haha, everything is over once I get rid of you!” the stone man laughed. His figure shook, and clouds of black energy formed again. However, the black energy was only aimed at Philip. In his opinion, the others would die once he got rid of Philip. Philip was surrounded by black energy before he could react. In a split second, he could not see anything around him. Seeing this, Rabbit rushe
Before this, these people kept insulting Philip and wished they could tear him into pieces. They even thought it was unlucky to see him here. Surprisingly, events took a sudden turn, and Philip became their savior instead. “Enough with the crap.” Philip did not want to respond to their gratitude. He just wished they could get the fight over and done with so that they could leave. “By the way, I'm curious about something.” As the fight reached the boiling point, Philip turned to the black shadow curiously. The black shadow was taken aback by Philip’s sudden remark. “What are you curious about?” The black shadow wanted to buy some time. It was just a step away from forming a solid entity, which could improve its strength significantly. Philip would have to think twice about dealing with it by then. Thus, the black shadow was excited that Philip wanted to chat with it. “How did you make that mysterious old man convey the news?” According to most people, they found out about
The black shadow gained strength by devouring other people’s flesh and blood. Philip knew that he might be no match for the black shadow once it devoured everyone present. After going through all the trouble, it would not let all its efforts go to waste. Philip's appearance had ruined its plan. It would probably go crazy if it could not devour these people. “No one can stop me today. So what if you’re strong? I don't believe you can save everyone!” After saying this, the black energy rushed to the merfolk. The merfolk ran to Philip in a panic, hoping that Philip could protect them. “Lyle,” Philip said. Philip was exasperated by these stupid merfolk. Lyle rushed forward and attacked the black energy. Back then, Philip had given them sachets to ward off evil energy. Lyle had a sudden idea and hurled a sachet at the black shadow. It was just an experiment, but it worked. After sensing the powder in Philip's sachet, the black energy shrank back and stopped moving as if it h
