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
Diego stared gloomily at Kemp on the opposite side and said with a sneer, “If you know what’s good for you, you should jump off the stage. Don’t waste my time or you’ll die a miserable death!” Kemp frowned and said, “Friend, watch your words or you’ll end up begging for mercy instead.” “How dare you?!” Diego said coldly. On this side, the host shouted, “Begin!” Swish! A flash from the sword! Diego seemed to be really in a hurry, wanting to break Alex Baxter’s previous record. He mobilized all his energy and power of rules to draw out the six Fusha scimitars from his waist. He charged toward Kemp! The six scimitars were infused with silver energy and the power of rules, bringing bursts of silver sword light! “Look, the Six Scimitar Technique!” “It's over. There's no suspense at all!” “Diego is using his best killing move. Kemp Grant is dead for sure!” The spectators in the stands shook their heads! However, right before everyone’s eyes, Kemp suddenly moved, and h
Philip smiled and looked at the middle-aged man who stepped out from behind Ernest. Herman Blair. A disciple at the peak of the fifth zone! It seemed that Ernest was confident to win! However, Philip was unperturbed. He said to a sexy woman in a black leather jacket and pants, “17, it’s your turn.” “Okay.” 17’s face was full of excitement as she glanced at Herman. The host roared, “The third round of the competition will not let everyone down because this is the first match with a female contestant! Herman Blair of the North will be up against Sharon Presley of the South!” In an instant, the venue exploded! A female contestant! Philip smiled. Sharon Presley was the name he had given 17 to join the competition. 17 liked it very much and said that she wanted to use it in the future because it was given by the young patriarch. Soon, 17 came on stage, and her appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the men in the audience. She had a hot figure, was a
This was an unprecedented competition result! The battle song of the South rang through the stadium again! At the northern side of the venue, all the disciples from the North gritted their teeth in anger! What was going on with the South this time? Where did they find so many strong contenders? They were extremely embarrassed to lose three matches in a row in their Northern base camp! Following the battle song of the South, all disciples from the South stood up to sing in unison, very much like the World Cup frenzy when the crowd’s favorite team scored a goal. 17 returned to Philip’s side. Philip smiled at her and said, “You did well.” 17 grinned and said, “Young Patriarch, these guys are too weak.” Philip shook his head and said, “It’s not that they’re weak but that you’ve become stronger after my father’s intensive training.” That was right. Philip had borrowed this group of Shadow Guards from his father. After the last fight with the branch Clarke family, Roger
A guard from Terrain Villa stepped forward and said with a bow, “Villa Master Turner, Young Master Singer and Young Master Berry are on their way here.” Hearing that, Ernest frowned. If they were here right now, he would not be under such pressure. Moreover, the Northern supernatural disciple community urgently needed a win to cheer them up! Otherwise, they would be made a laughing stock by Philip and Leon! It had been decades since the Northern supernatural disciple community suffered such humiliation! Three losses in a row were embarrassing enough! Ernest’s face was very unpleasant. They must take down the following seven matches! If they lost another two rounds, the outcome would be unpredictable! “No matter what, the few of you must do your best in the following matches. Don’t underestimate the opponent. You must have faith that you can defeat the opponent! The winners will receive a reward of 50 million!” Ernest suddenly said with determination! 50 million was
Very soon, the competition resumed. The host went on stage, and the crowd cheered again! “Next up will be the fourth round of the competition! Ethan Clarke of the South will be up against Kent Stow of the North!” The crowd boiled with the announcement! Especially on the northern side of the stands, everyone stood up and cheered! “It’s Kent Stow, the eldest young master of the Stow family!” “Gosh, they made a substitute!” “They only have three chances to make replacements, and Terrain Villa chose Kent Stow to substitute!” For a while, cheers for Kent Stow filled the audience. Philip frowned and asked Leon, “Why did they make a substitute all of a sudden? Isn’t the next contender Toby Hodges?” Leon quickly explained, “Young Patriarch Clarke, in each competition, each party has the right to make three substitutions. Maybe I didn’t clarify with you before the competition.” Hearing that, Philip frowned. He looked at the crowd cheering at the scene and asked, “Is Kent
Hearing Ernest’s haughty remarks, Philip looked grave. A mage at the peak of the fifth zone with one foot in the sixth zone. It was a little tricky, indeed. However, Philip chuckled and said, “Villa Master Turner, don’t count your chickens yet. We won’t know the outcome until the match begins.” Hearing that, Ernest snorted and said, “Hehe, you’re very bold, indeed. You’re calm and composed. In that case, let’s look forward to it!” On the competition stage, Kent and Ethan stood facing each other. Ethan was dressed in a white casual outfit while Kent was in a blue suit and wore black-rimmed glasses. He was tall and handsome with a smile on his lips. After the host announced the official start of the match, a weird silence fell over the venue. Neither of them took the lead but stood silently as if observing their opponent. About five minutes later, Kent broke the silence. He pushed the frame of his glasses and said with a smile, “Ethan Clarke, I hope you remember my name
Although the other races were at odds with Philip, they had a common enemy, so there was no need to trigger a conflict. Although the merfolk were uncertain about Philip’s reaction, they joined the battle too. Although Philip did not indicate that he would help them, Philip was fighting. As long as they won, they would survive. “Keep it up. Don’t let Philip down. Let’s do our best and show Philip what we can do!” the merfolk roared. They knew that it was not easy to show their strength. They had suffered greatly in the previous battle. They were lucky enough to be alive right now. Philip knew that they were injured, but he had no intention of helping them. Although not all the merfolk were bad, their leader was a different story. If that high and mighty chief was willing to approach him and show his servitude, Philip might consider giving him a chance. However, he was still putting on airs, which was simply a joke. As Philip fought, he saw the merfolk fighting too. Although th
The merfolk begging Philip for help did not think Philip had done anything wrong in the previous incident. They knew what happened to their holy maiden was related to Tom. Philip was not at fault at all. Many of them also had some opinions about the merfolk chief, but they had to keep their mouths shut if they wanted to survive.They were really scared this time. The merfolk begged Philip on their knees. Although undignified, it was the only way to survive. Other races stared at the merfolk in surprise, wondering what was going on. Many people knew that the merfolk had suffered a great blow, but they never thought they would become so cowardly. What happened to the merfolk was not a secret. Everyone knew about their holy maiden. However, most of them did not know the details. They thought the merfolk simply encountered some difficulties. Coupled with the appearance of the demons, everyone gradually forgot about it. Seeing the merfolk again, their curiosity was piqued. “W
Aslan and the others scowled at the empty space. There was no exit in this direction. Everyone was worried. There was nowhere to run even if they wanted to. “Philip, we have been surrounded. We can only go through the black energy if we want to leave!” Aslan said anxiously. He did not have to touch it to know how toxic the black energy was. “Don’t touch that thing!” Black Rabbit jumped out in a panic. “I saw some stubborn people going through the black energy and dying of poison!” Philip sighed. They could not afford any more deaths. The statue was clearly triggered by the dead people’s blood. At this rate, they would be in big trouble. Everyone was in the same boat. They could not afford any careless mistakes. “Forget it. We can’t handle them. Do we have any pills that can withstand that black energy or any armor to protect ourselves?” Aslan suggested. Philip waved his hand. “It’s too late.” The black energy was slowly forming a human shape. Everyone followed Phi
Someone was brave enough to touch the black energy. At one touch, he realized the error of his ways because he was devoured by it. He turned into a puff of blood mist with no chance of recovery at all. Some people took out some pills and stuffed them into their mouths, but they lost consciousness before the pills took effect. They turned into puffs of blood mist and vanished into the air, but Philip noticed something. He looked in the direction where the blood mist disappeared. The blood mist was following an invisible route to a black statue. Philip would not have believed that there was a huge and terrifying statue in this place if he had not followed the blood mist. He watched as the wisps of blood merged into the statue, turning it red. The statue looked terrifying. Only the statue’s eyeballs remained black while the rest was an eerie blood red. “We can’t have more people dying.” Philip scowled and told everyone what he had seen. At this rate, he was worried about what
“I know that you’re Philip Clarke. I've heard many things about you. I want to discuss a deal with you.” The young man smiled calmly as if he understood Philip very well. “I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wayne White. I think we should be around the same age, so you can call me whatever you want.” Philip nodded at his sincere introduction. He would not refuse a deal. He was a good judge of character. The young man looked pretty friendly, so Philip decided to have a good chat with him. They went to a deserted corner and started chatting. Philip remained excited throughout the whole process. It was surprising to gain so much from the conversation. “I’m aware of the demon invasion and the Spade family, but it’s not easy for someone like you to expose everything.” Philip was surprised that Wayne knew about it. After all, few people knew that Philip was related to the case. Wayne not only guessed his involvement but also approached him, which proved that he was a talent of
“I was teleported to a secret space, and someone who looked exactly like me appeared! No matter what I did, that thing could deal with me. To think that it could copy my abilities was simply over the top!” The major families let their guards down and gathered to discuss it, expressing their fear. Philip stood observing this mysterious place without paying attention to them. “Philip, we’re out. That encounter was so weird. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, that thing would've gotten its way!” Aslan approached Philip nervously, surprised by this development. He was not afraid when he saw a guy who looked exactly like him, but he started panicking when the other party used the same moves as him. “That thing was a force to be reckoned with,” Aslan exclaimed nervously, but no one knew if he was praising himself or the other party. Two hours passed by in a flash. As more and more people appeared, some people were happy while others were sad. Many small families were not confi
No one expected to encounter attacks from their own kind, so they could not tell if it was an illusion or reality. Their counter-attacks seemed powerless against those enemies too. The opponents’ attacks caused huge damage to them so resistance was futile. “Captain, we can’t hold on any longer. What’s going on?” “How can we escape from this damn place? We’ll die if we don’t leave now!” “Think of a way to leave this place at once!” Everyone roared in the face of this difficulty. Compared to humans, however, they were quite lucky. After entering this area, the humans found themselves surrounded by their own projections. Everyone was on guard against this bizarre phenomenon. Before they figured out what happened, their projections attacked them. The opponent's attack was steady, accurate, and ruthless, hitting their vital points. One careless move and one would simply die on the spot. Some people could not react in time and turned into a puff of dust. The quicker ones simp
Everyone looked at each other awkwardly. The cynocephaly saw this scene and came up with an idea to wreak havoc! “Find Philip!” the leader of the cynocephali ordered, and his people quickly sprang into action. The cynocephali were quick on their feet, and combined with their strong sense of smell, it was easy for them to find Philip's trace. Philip and the others did not deliberately hide their whereabouts. They looked around calmly. They knew that an unspeakable conspiracy was waiting for them, so they were just waiting for it. The cynocephaly quickly surrounded Philip and his team, and they spread the news to other races. The other races were very anxious and not in the mood to bother about this, but they kept an eye on the situation for fear that Philip would do something weird. Philip was unfazed. Although they were surrounded, Philip was not nervous at all and even looked forward to it. “Philip, I just confirmed that there’s no sign of the rabbit family’s true god he
The cynocephali laughed and entered the bronze door. They had achieved their goal, so there was no point in staying. It would be better to enter the bronze door and find their true god. The cynocephali never thought that their words could create such a commotion. All the major races and humans were annoyed with Philip now, and they would not allow anyone to affect their interests. Philip had no idea that he had become the target of public outrage. He and his team were still rushing forward. It was foggy along the way, and no one could see what was ahead. Philip frowned as he looked around but saw no traces of the true gods. “This thing about the true gods, is it true? We’ve been here for so long, but there’s nothing!” Aslan expressed his doubt. This place was not as simple as they imagined. Although Philip did not speak, his gaze reflected his thoughts. If they were not powerful practitioners, they would not be able to see anything in this fog. “Maybe only the families
