Tango said, “Young Patriarch, in terms of strength, I can't beat that one yet. In this world, few people have reached the half-step to the other shore, and powerhouses in the realm of the other shore are even rarer. In each era, only three or four would appear due to the limitations of this world, so many people won’t be able to experience the beauty of the other shore in this lifetime. “The strength of Patriarch Turner is one entire realm higher than mine.” Hearing Tango’s remarks, Philip’s eyes suddenly dimmed. Even Tango was not a match for Patriarch Turner, so this trip to the North was bound to fail. However, Tango suddenly said, “However, I have a way to keep him from making a move, so you can take care of the rest on your own.” Hearing this, everyone’s eyes suddenly lit up. They asked, “What way?” Tango shook his head and said, “I can’t tell you. You’ll find out when you reach that level.” After saying that, Tango turned around and left. Philip and the others loo
Hearing Simon’s remark, Jon turned to look at him and asked, “Administrator Fuller, what did you say?” Simon smiled and said, “Administrator Forrest, you’re too old-fashioned and follow the rules too strictly. We can turn a blind eye to this, you know? You can regard Young Master Berry’s kindness as a gift from a junior, which won’t be considered as breaking a rule. Moreover, this black dragon jade pendant is the only one in the world. You always talk about how you’re missing a treasure from the first emperor. This is Young Master Berry’s kindness to you, so just accept it.” Hearing Simon’s words, Stanley also laughed and said, “Administrator Forrest, Administrator Fuller is right. It’s just my little gift to you. It’s not considered a breach of the rules.” Jon was in a dilemma. He clenched his fist slightly, and his eyes fell on the black dragon jade pendant on the golden silk. Administrator Fuller was right. This matter was only known between them. It should be fine for him t
Seeing Jon’s hesitation, Simon said, “Administrator Forrest, I say we should just resolve this matter quickly. It’s just the deaths of some irrelevant people, so it’s no big deal. After all, the most important thing is to maintain the stability of the Northern and Southern supernatural disciple world. Moreover, Terrain Villa is no small potato either. There’s no need to find trouble for the Supernatural Bureau, so I think it's enough to find a few scapegoats for this.” Simon stated his opinion. Hearing this, Jon was still a little hesitant and agitated. He looked at Simon and said, “Administrator Fuller, isn’t this a cover-up?” “What cover-up?” Simon said, “Administrator Forrest, you’re overthinking it. They’re just some secular people. Do you want to incur Patriarch Turner’s wrath? All of us should know that today’s warning came from a figure who’s a half-step to the other shore.” Hearing this, Jon shuddered. After thinking for a long time, he said, “In that case, I’ll lis
In the outer and inner circles of the venue, fully armed guards were patrolling. Battle tanks and armored vehicles also form solid protection in the surrounding. Hundreds of fully armed guards at the scene were equipped with special weapons distributed by the Supernatural Bureau to perform patrol duty. After all, the spectators today were all supernatural disciples, and there were many kingship holders! Once the situation got out of control and triggered a war between the disciples of the North and South, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, the security around the venue was at the highest level. Even the satellite system constantly monitored the energy fluctuations in this area. If an accident occurred, it would be dealt with as soon as possible. Soon, the venue was packed. Heavily armed guards patrolled each section, each wearing special protective clothing enough to resist a blow from the disciples of the fourth zone! Moreover, the guns in their han
The audience was instantly ignited! Everyone shouted and cheered. After the crowd finished cheering, the host yelled, “Everyone’s very enthusiastic, so let's begin. First of all, this disciple competition will adopt a new rule to match the opponents randomly on the spot. Isn’t it exciting?” “What? Match the opponents randomly? Wow!” “This is so exciting! If the strongest is matched with the weakest, then…” For a moment, there was a heated discussion. The host pointed to the huge electronic screen behind him and shouted, “Now, let's take a look at the list of final participants for the disciple competition this year! Let the random matching begin!” In an instant, both sides of the large electronic screen that represented the participant lists of the North and South rolled and flashed rapidly. Everyone's breathing became tense! The host shouted, “Three, two, one, stop!” The screen froze, and the final list for the competition was released! All eyes were fixed on the
The host shouted on stage, “The first round of competition between the North and South supernatural disciples will officially begin right now! “Ned Tomlinson of the North will be up against Alex Baxter of the South!” “Hahaha!” After hearing the host's announcement, Ernest laughed with a flushed face, “Young Patriarch Clarke, the show is about to begin. I’ll be taking the first win.” The patriarchs and core disciples of other disciple families in the North and South also looked over at this moment. Ernest Turner, the master of Terrain Villa, was really confident! The disciple families of the South held a breath of anger at this moment. That was because Ned Tomlinson was the young master of the Tomlinson family in the North with the peak strength of the fourth zone! With such a tricky opponent in the first round, this was really not easy to deal with! As for Alex Baxter of the South, since when did this person appear among the disciple families? Everyone was puzzled.
The crowd fell silent. All cheers quieted down. In the stands, Ernest stood up in agitation and stared at the stage in disbelief. “I-Impossible!” On one side, Philip took out a folding fan from nowhere, flipped it open, and said, “Gee, the Northern disciples are really weak.” The folding fan in his hand was written with the words, ‘Power is a lonely feeling.’ Behind Philip, Fennel and the others as well as Leon and the other contestants smiled faintly. Leon could not believe it either. Before this, Philip had proposed to change the list. He selected a group of people from somewhere and sent them to Beechwood City in secret. At that time, Philip had simply said, “We’ll witness the result on the competition stage. Keep everything secret.” Now, it seemed that the group of people selected by Philip was very strong! Ernest was furious. He turned his head, stared at Philip angrily, and roared. “You cheated! This isn’t the strength a Southern disciple should have!” Howev
The victory that should belong to the North was gone just like that! At this moment, the host also scratched his head in disbelief and confirmed that the contestant had fallen to the outfield before he announced, “The winner of the first round goes to Alex Baxter of the South!” In an instant, the competition venue was drowned out by cheers again! The pent-up emotions of the Southern disciples were released at this moment! On the other hand, the Northern disciples were full of doom and gloom. This was humiliating! For many years, they were used to hearing the Northern battle song being played in the first match, but that practice was broken now. They found it hard to accept for a while. Alex returned to the stands and the others asked happily, “27, how do you feel?” Alex smiled and said, “No feeling. He’s too weak.” Hearing this, Ernest’s face turned purple with anger! Philip smiled lightly and said, “Villa Master Turner, Ned Tomlinson seems to be badly injured. My
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
