Philip looked startled. The meaning behind Fennel’s words was obvious. This was similar to a herdsman who should just let the livestock graze. Why tell the sheep that they could still graze outside of this area and there were in fact many other places that they could graze? “In that case, what’s the world like in the one ten-thousandth?” Philip continued asking. Fennel thought about it and decided to tell Philip in the easiest way to understand. He took out a dagger from his pocket and handed it to Philip while saying, “Use the dagger and slowly approach the middle of your eyebrows with it.” Philip took the dagger, looked at it glittering in his hand, and did as he was told. In that instant, Philip suddenly felt a strange sensation in the middle of his eyebrows. It was a tingling sensation of oppression, stinging as though electricity was passing through. Fennel saw the change in Philip’s expression. He took a sip of liquor and said, “This is the human body's self-protection.
Fennel suddenly grinned and said, “Reed Williams? He’s also one of the Seven Kings of Disciples, my predecessor. If I remember correctly, he used to be the king of disciples in the sixth zone and used to be under your mother’s command.” What? At that moment, Philip was flabbergasted! Reed Williams was one of the Seven Kings of Disciples! Moreover, he was also the king of disciples of the sixth zone where his mother controlled! He used to be his mother’s follower! Philip restrained the shock in his heart and asked, “What about his combat power?” This was a question that Philip had always wondered about because back in the Dragon Warriors, he had been deeply staggered by Reed’s strength! “Combat power? I’m not sure. I’ve never fought him before. However, according to the ranking of the Seven Kings of the Disciples by the Nonagon, he’s the second most powerful among the previous batch of Seven Kings of the Disciples,” Fennel said with a strong desire for battle in his eyes
“That’s because the Aegis Alliance of Country M used the knowledge system behind the door and applied it to the real world. They researched it earlier than us and their development is more far-reaching than ours, so they’re now in the world’s dominant position. The existence of the Nonagon is to make better and faster use of the lost civilization system behind the door in our territory to achieve a situation where we can compete with the other two doors.” Philip's brain was processing through so much information that he could hardly take it. He exhaled heavily and said, “A new civilization system?” Fennel nodded and said, “That's right, a new civilization system. Or rather, a civilized system that has long existed in this world but has been sealed by a mysterious power. After all, we haven't even figured out where human beings came from, so it's not surprising that such a civilization system exists. However, if this spreads to the real world, it will inevitably cause panic. Don't f
Speaking of this, Fennel was silent for a while. He finished the wine in front of him and said after a long time, “It’s a civilization system that surpasses the other three doors. According to the various signs revealed, it’s likely to be something left behind from the third-class civilization system.” Hiss! Philip’s expression trembled! Just a tiny display from a second-class civilization was already enough to shock the world! Now, the world behind the Clarke family's door was actually a civilization system that surpassed the other three doors. This was enough to make the world go crazy! “Judging from your strength, has the Nonagon completely mastered the civilization system behind the door, including the knowledge system and resources?” Philip asked after thinking about it. Fennel shook his head and said with a self-deprecating laugh, “Those guys from the Nonagon are just a bunch of useless trash. What they have mastered is only the earliest stage of the civilization sy
“No one knows what your father has seen or experienced. All they know is after your father left, he sealed up the seventh zone. No one can set foot there without the key your father left behind. Moreover, after he left the Nonagon, he did something that shocked all the disciples,” Fennel said as he recalled the past events. “What did he do?” Philip quickly asked. “He alone broke into the other two doors belonging to Country M and Country Y. Demonstrating extraordinary combat power and understanding of the doors, he sealed their seventh zones and left a message behind,” Fennel said. Although his voice was not loud, it was like a thunderbolt in Philip’s ears, causing him to freeze on the spot! He could almost visualize the bloody battle. With the strength of one person alone, his father fought against the disciples of the other two doors and sealed off their seventh zones! How much courage and strength did it take?! His father turned out to be such an amazing man? “What mes
Inside the bar, the DJ was playing loud music. Philip found it difficult to calm his emotions. What Fennel said just now had far exceeded his comprehension abilities. He was now increasingly curious to go in and find out the world in the Nonagon as well as what was behind the door.Also, he wanted to find out what his mother had left for him back then. “Fennel, tell me how strong my father is in the Nonagon or among the disciples,” Philip said, looking at Fennel with searing eyes. Fennel took a sip of wine and said with a wistful expression, “No one knows how strong your father is because no one can last more than three moves against him. This is public data and the fact is also recognized among the disciples. Your father’s strength not only lies in all aspects of his physical attributes but also in his mind and thoughts. Let's put it this way, I might not even be able to endure one move from your father.” Hiss! Hearing this, Philip’s pupils shuddered. His father was act
Fennel looked at Philip very seriously and said, “You have to do it no matter what. You don’t have much time. The Nonagon’s talent selection process will be completed in the next half a month. If you want to pass their selection and enter the Nonagon, you must be stronger than the average person. Moreover, you need to have the ability to protect yourself. Once you enter the door, I can't take care of you anymore. At that time, you’ll face the dangers alone. The problems and predicaments you’ll encounter are beyond what you can imagine now.” Fennel did not tell Philip that he had his own way to allow Philip to quickly stimulate his potential. Philip frowned and looked indifferent. He asked, “Is it very dangerous there?” Fennel patted Philip on the shoulder and said, “Don't worry. I’ll tell you the characteristics of each zone and the danger areas to look out for before you go in. As long as you don't touch those places, there shouldn't be any major problems.” “How long did it ta
Fennel nodded and said, “Yes. This is only part of the training behind the door. After you enter, you’ll come across a wide variety of talents. Some of them can control flames, some can control water, some can float in the air, some can control lightning, and some can teleport. These are all based on the potential that you stimulate, which is the energy and aura developed in your body. You’ll carry out different targeted training sessions.” Hiss! Philip was stunned. Control fire and water? Was this not exactly the same as those guys in the Avengers? The energy to control matter? At the look on Philip’s face, Fennel smiled and said, “Don’t be too surprised. This world is far more complex than you can imagine. Some people were struck by lightning and survived the catastrophe. After the incident, the Nonagon detected that such people have a natural affinity to lightning. Some people are more imaginative than others, and such people are naturally superior in mental fortitude. Som
“It’s your honor that our family has taken a fancy to you. Stop resisting. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You must be trying to gain more benefits. As long as you agree to this marriage, I promise that you’ll lead a good life, much better than what you have now!” Lazlo looked at Celeste condescendingly, seeing her as a gold digger. “You’re sick.” Celeste was dumbfounded. Celeste pulled Philip and wanted to leave, but Lazlo had no intention of letting them go. He had finally found a beautiful woman to solve the problem for him. How could he let her go? He had looked around earlier but had not seen anyone as beautiful as Celeste. It would be a privilege to bring a beautiful woman like Celeste out. If Celeste was willing to cooperate, he could hold his head high in front of many people. Thinking of this, he summoned the family's guards. “Hurry up and capture them. Even if you refuse, you have to do it!” Lazlo laughed at this point. “Young lady, you'd better li
Philip winked at Ronan, signaling him to wait while he went in with Celeste to see what was going on. “In that case, my brother and I will see what’s going on,” Celeste said with a sigh. She just wanted to watch the fun. Why was she involved all of a sudden? Philip and Celeste walked in, and Lazlo was surprised to see someone else. However, a look of realization crossed his face after his servant introduced Philip’s identity. “Yes, I was too hasty about this. We should discuss this matter with the family.” He quickly invited everyone inside. After taking a closer look at Celeste's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, this woman was very beautiful and perfect from every angle. She was the best choice for his son. To be frank, even Lazlo was attracted to her. “My son is getting married today, but his bride is very ugly, so I want to use you in place of the bride. After this, you can become my son's concubine,” Lazlo said condescendingly as if Celeste should
At this moment, Celeste looked no different from normal people, and her face was more stunning, capturing everyone’s attention with one glance. Lazlo was excited to see her and knew that she was the woman he had been looking for. Indeed, the bride was very ugly and had a strange appearance. He would never have agreed to the marriage if the woman had not saved his son's life. His son had been seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, almost on the verge of dying. To save his son, he promised that anyone who could save his son could make a request. This woman saved his son and requested to marry into the Cohen family. Although reluctant, big families attached great importance to promises. If they went against their conscience and broke the promise, it would greatly impact their subsequent practice. Hence, Lazlo had no choice but to agree to their marriage. However, to prevent people from talking behind their backs, he appointed some dedicated maids to take care of the ugly
Ronan grabbed the others in fright so that they could stay together. Ronan was a strong guy, after all. With his protection, the others would not be separated by the crowd. Philip looked at this scene and asked the onlookers curiously, “What’s going on? What’s the occasion? Is it a celebration?” Philip had a smile on his face. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting as if someone was having a celebration. “Don’t you know? It’s the wedding day of the young heir of the Cohen family. I heard that they’ll be serving free spiritual beast meat during the feast. Whether it’s true or not, we want to join the fun. It’s great if the news is true.” “Young man, you must be a visitor from out of town. You’re in luck!” Everyone smiled and walked along excitedly, hoping to spread happiness. Since it was a happy occasion, Philip took the others to join in the fun. As expected, it was very crowded, and everyone sat happily while waiting for the feast to begin. They looked at a lux
Arachne glared at the address Philip left behind. “Since he wants to meet the person behind the scenes, let him! That person is our king!” They worshipped their so-called savior very much. Sadie left without a word. She knew her limits. She would only die if she continued to fight Philip. Since she was no match for Philip, she had to find a way to become stronger. Philip would be doomed once she was strong enough. She was angry when she thought about being humiliated by Philip today. Philip did not care about them at all. He just wanted to see the person behind the scenes. Someone who could create that amazing gene seal had to be an extraordinary person. He would have to tread carefully.… Meanwhile, Raja was in trouble. Raja had left very hastily as his territory was under attack. The other party probably wanted to take his territory for themselves. The other party was a large and powerful race with vicious means. They somehow received news about his departure, so the
Although their strength had improved significantly, their opponent was Ronan, a talented expert. He was not someone they could mess with. These people were easily crushed. Before they could call for help, they were sent crashing into the walls and unable to move. Ronan was surprised at his strength. Philip had given him a lot of wine recently, which had greatly improved his strength. Combined with his innate talents, Ronan was almost invincible by now. Philip looked at him with satisfaction, pleased with his achievements. “Not bad. You did very well, but some of your moves are still quite sloppy. I'll give you a set of techniques later. Once you master it, you can crush these people easily with your bare hands,” Philip commented like a judge. Arachne and the others were knocked to the ground, horrified at Ronan’s strength. Sadie was very indignant about her defeat. They had resorted to some evil methods to improve their strength. How did they end up so miserably? “It lo
“Are you one of my kind?” The man was very excited to see one of his kind. Judging from the situation, the other party probably saved him. “Yes. I predicted that you’d appear at this place, so I asked someone to rescue you. You’re quite unlucky,” Celeste said awkwardly, feeling sorry for his bad luck. It was tragic to think that such a noble and mysterious race ended up as a slave. “They don't know my identity. They just think I look good. Thanks to them, I’ve done quite well with this face.” He laughed at himself at this point. Ronan felt sorry for the man at the sight of his pitiful state. He had been in the same plight back then—without any status and rejected wherever he went. He understood this misery better than anyone else. After getting to know each other, Philip took them away through the side door. The gentle and refined man was Darius. Philip gave him some pills to heal him so that he would not look so haggard. When they walked out, they bumped into Arachne
“We accept the deal. I declare that the man is yours!” The man was a slave who belonged to the organizers, so these auctioneers could easily decide his fate. At this time, a young man stepped forward and said something to the host, interrupting the auction briefly. “Excuse me, but this man has been taken.” They took the man away quickly before anyone could react. The crowd was confused, wondering what was going on. “What’s the meaning of this? The auction isn’t over yet! Did someone offer something that can decide the outcome?” “I don't believe anyone can come up with such a good thing. Besides, although the man looks pretty good, this is over the top!” Everyone thought it was too much for someone to spend so much money on an ordinary man. Ronan watched in silence. He knew that the bottle of wine was nothing to Philip, but to outsiders, Philip was simply spending a fortune to get a slave. He sighed inwardly. It seemed that a handsome face was very important. The org
“What a bunch of perverts,” Philip cursed unhappily at the sight of their gleaming eyes. He had to get this guy at all costs. The bidding started, and everyone sent the price soaring. At this time, Philip decided not to compete with money. There was no point in bidding with money. He decided to offer something for the other party's ownership. He contacted the organizer of the auction and gave him a bottle of wine. “I have some wine that can improve your strength after taking it. I can let you have a taste for free so that you can verify my claims.” Philip then handed over the wine in his hand. The auctioneers looked at Philip doubtfully, surprised by Philip’s sudden gesture. “I know that the neighboring city is selling some wine that can improve one’s strength, but it’s very hard to get!” As auctioneers, they were very well-informed. Moreover, the Wagner family had spread the news a long time ago. Their intention was to promote their wine, but they had to include Philip t
