Bang, clang! Dozens of ice spears were being cut down. They turned into ice cubes, then fell into the sea! Philip staggered back dozens of meters before he blocked the attack. A biting chill flashed in the corners of his eyes! Seeing this, Chip smiled and said, “As expected of the young patriarch of the Clarke family. Such strength and skills are amazing, indeed! However, that isn’t enough for me!” Chip was right. After the spar, Philip truly realized how big the gap between the realms was! A disciple of the seventh zone could render a king of the sixth zone helpless! Was this an insurmountable chasm? Philip looked grave and inwardly wondered why Uncle Tango had not taken any action. Seeing Philip’s appearance, Chip said with a smile, “Are you waiting for the person behind you to make a move? I’m sorry to inform you that he has been stopped by two seniors of mine. At this moment, I don’t think he has the time to bother about you. Hence, you have no other way out now.”
In an instant, raging waves of energy pressure and the power of rules surged in the sea! Three figures were locked in a dreadful battle! If they were not on the high seas, the nearby towns would have been destroyed long ago! However, even if Philip and Fennel joined forces, they could not gain an advantage over Chip! Chip was too strong! This was the strength of a mid-level half-step kingship of the seventh zone! He could easily suppress two kings of the sixth zone! As Chip had used the power of rules of heaven and earth, his comprehension of the rules was much deeper compared to Philip and Fennel. Moreover, the shadow of the octopus behind him had an illusion of being a solid form. This was an image formed by the influence of the rules of heaven and earth. However, Chip was also shocked. He was a mid-level disciple of the seventh zone and a half-step to kingship. His strength had long surpassed the secular world. He could deal with ordinary kings by just lifting
Boom! A shocking explosion! Several tentacles slammed down from the air while others stirred up huge waves from the bottom of the sea that rushed at Philip and Fennel! There was no chance for them to escape! Philip’s face trembled. He raised his right hand, and a dazzling fireball erupted from his palm! Enhanced with the wind attribute, this fireball quickly enlarged, forming a huge fireball. It shrouded Philip and Fennel inside! It was a fireball shield! The eight huge tentacles smacked on the fireball and stirred countless flames! Sizzle! The seawater evaporated instantly, and the tentacles seemed to be roasted with a crackling sound! The fireball shield shattered, and Philip and Fennel were sent flying hundreds of meters away by the enormous energy pressure! The eight huge tentacles quickly wiggled apart and submerged into the sea, sending waves of white smoke billowing! Roar! The octopus shadow behind Chip growled. It seemed that the attack just now had
With two loud bangs from this terrifying energy light cannon, two figures flew upside down, covered in bruises! Philip and Fennel fell into the seawater with two loud splashes. The fire chimera and the red dragon had been reduced to smithereens by the energy light cannon! Chip stood upright on the sea surface, lowered his eyebrows, and looked at the rolling waves. He bellowed! In an instant, the sea became extremely calm! His gloomy eyes reflected a dazzling blue light as he levitated above the sea surface, looking for Philip and Fennel who had fallen into the sea! Philip and Fennel had fallen into the sea with injuries all over their bodies. Through the blue water, they saw the hovering figure above! They were waiting for an opportunity! Splash! The sound of the two figures breaking through the water! They soared into the sky and flanked an attack! Chip seemed to be expecting it. With a wave of his hand, the giant octopus swung its tentacles angrily and slammed t
The figure raised his hand, and a golden magic circle covered with obscure symbols appeared in front of his palm, absorbing Chip’s blow. This person who suddenly appeared was dressed in a black suit and had a stern face with a hint of anger. He lightly retracted his hands and stood with his hands behind his back, glaring at Chip on the opposite side. Chip saw the man's appearance clearly at this moment. He was shocked and said, “H-How could it be you?” Philip also saw this figure that suddenly appeared in front of him and frowned. The master of Gentleman Court, Benny Larson! Benny frowned, glanced sideways at Philip, and said, “Leave with your people. I’ll take care of this.” Philip thought for a while and asked, “Why help me?” Benny said, “You can't die yet. You’re a piece in the chess game and a key component. Besides, you also have the blood of a Larson flowing in your body.” After saying that, Benny raised his hand and made a grabbing motion at the sea, hauling Fe
Philip scowled. He did not expect the foundation of the Larson family to be so solid. “Uncle Tango, apart from these three elders, what else does the Larson family have?” Philip asked. Tango frowned, crossed his arms, and thought about it carefully. He said, “Young Patriarch, the Larson family could be considered a behemoth back then too, a family on par with the Clarke family. As for their foundation, not many people know about it. If you want to find out, maybe you can ask the lord.” Philip frowned and turned to look at Hogan, who shook his head and said, “Silva never let me get in touch with such matters.” At this time, someone walked in from outside, and an elderly voice rang out. “The Larson family's foundation is not something you can challenge now.” “The Larson family has existed in this world for a long time. Even if they’re cowering in Fernvale now, their foundation is still here. “Otherwise, the Larson family would’ve been wiped out by its enemies in secret over t
Hearing this, Philip frowned and asked Benny, “What secret does the Larson family have?” Benny scowled, and an indescribable look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He said, “Let the Larson family’s secret fade with time. Just remember that you’re not a match for the Larson family now. As for your father, he has no time to take care of you for the time being. The Clarke family will also not help you to take action against the Larson family easily. “This is a chess game, and every chess piece has a reason to exist. As a piece in this chess game, you shouldn’t fight for no reason but follow the arrangements of this world and walk your own path.” After Benny finished speaking, everyone frowned as if they could not understand his words. However, Philip vaguely understood Benny’s meaning. He was a pawn in this game of world chess. However, did he have to live by obeying the wishes of others? Was he willing to be this chess piece? Of course not! “Court Master Larson, you
Seeing Benny’s departing back, Philip’s expression was very solemn. Benny’s final remarks echoed in his ears. What did Benny mean? What destined person could help him with life-or-death situations? Was his trip to Mystic City in the northwest going to be that difficult? Since he could not figure it out, Philip stopped thinking about it. He turned to Hogan and the others to ask, “Do we really have to send Grandpa back?” Hogan nodded and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I know you’re worried about the grandmaster, but he’s the symbol of the Larson family, after all. Besides, Fifth Uncle has mentioned that he’ll go to the Larson family in person. I think the grandmaster should be very safe.” Philip frowned, thought for a while, and said, “I’ll bring Grandpa back tomorrow.” … The next day, Philip’s injuries were almost healed. As Fennel had contacted someone to send the essence of life over, Philip recovered quickly. Early in the morning, Philip pushed his grandfather's w
“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
