Boom! Suddenly, the fire attribute in Philip’s body exploded and filled the gazebo like a fiery sea! Roar! A low roar came from Philip’s back. A fire chimera appeared and roared to the sky as it constantly absorbed the energy from the fire energy stone. The Imperial Preceptor sat on one side and looked at Philip’s current state with a smile on his face and ease in his eyes. Philip’s whole body was shrouded in the strange aura of the fire energy stone in his palm, and the power of flames on his body also got stronger! Even the fire chimera behind him became more solid after continuously absorbing the energy from the stone. Roar! A low roar like it came from ancient times came from the fire chimera. At that moment, the flame on the fire chimera became redder. Even its fur became more lustrous. A flame mark also appeared between the chimera’s eyebrows. The moment this mark appeared, a change came over the fire chimera. It became real, transforming from a flaming shad
Back to Philip’s side. When he returned to Claus’ residence, Fennel and the others were already waiting anxiously. “You’re finally back.” Fennel got up and asked as the worried look on his face faded. 17 rushed over quickly, hugged Philip, and exclaimed, “Young Patriarch, you’re finally back. I missed you so much.” Philip smiled, patted 17 on the back, and said, “Don’t worry. I'm not in any danger.” 17 pouted and let go of Philip. Philip glanced at everyone in the hall. Claus was there too. “Young Patriarch Clarke, how was your discussion with that person?” Claus asked with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Philip glanced at Claus and asked, “Do you know who that person is?” Claus said, “Of course, I do.” Philip raised his eyebrows and said, “Not bad. I found out a lot of things that I didn't know before, but I’m more confused than ever now. It feels like there’s a bigger mystery and conspiracy surrounding me.” Philip was telling the truth. He was very puz
Cody stared at Philip intently before he said, “Little boy, the sword rules in your body aren’t your own, so you can’t unleash their full powers. In that case, let me give you a helping hand.” After saying that, without waiting for Philip’s reaction, Cody turned around and suddenly appeared in front of Philip. He stared into Philip’s eyes and said, “Look carefully. I’ll only do it once!” With that said, Cody wielded his sword. Greenpeak Sword shook with mighty sword energy that lingered in the world! That ancient sword energy was mysterious and unpredictable! Buzz! A huge green sword formation suddenly appeared in the sky that was enough to cover the whole manor! Ancient green swords glowed in the green sword formation, sweeping across all directions with monstrous sword intent! This big sword formation was like heaven’s punishment with terrifying energy pressure that made people tremble in fear! All the green swords carried tremendous sword energy! Rumble! In an in
“Dragon King, are you sure you want to contact the Five Elements?” The subordinate scowled and said with worry and tension, “Dragon King, we can’t pull our weight around them. Once we contact them and cause an irreversible situation, I’m afraid…” Windsor snorted coldly, looked at the subordinate, and said coldly, “Are you telling me what to do?” Thud! The subordinate knelt and said with a bow, “I wouldn’t dare, but I’m worried that doing this will cause unnecessary trouble.” Windsor sneered and said, “Trouble? Do you think there’s no trouble in Mystic City now? Once Philip brings the ancient sage's secret treasure away, that’ll be big trouble! “Immediately contact the Five Elements and tell them that I’d like to invite them to come out!” Rumble! Suddenly, on this bright and sunny day, dark clouds surged up in an instant as thunder boomed! On that day, heavy rain that had not been seen in the past six years fell! There were almost no pedestrians on the street. Ever
These five people appeared at the entrance of Windsor’s manor and walked in without a sound. Windsor had been waiting for them. At their arrival, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, “Five envoys, I really had no choice but to look for you at such short notice.” The man in the middle glanced at Windsor and said, “Is the information you sent us true?” Windsor nodded and said, “Absolutely! The ancient sage's secret treasure has been obtained by the young patriarch of the Clarke family. He’ll leave with the secret treasure in a few days. I really had no choice but to ask for your help.” Hehe. The skinny man shook his dreadlocks, took two steps forward, pointed at Windsor with his little finger, and said in a sharp voice, “Windsor Well, I’m warning you. Don't play any tricks in front of the five of us. You should know that members of the Five Elements will not interfere in the affairs of the secular world and disciples. If not for the secret treasure this time, w
In a flash, all the guards fell into a pool of blood. The woman in a blue mask said coldly, “Ignorant fools.” Then, the five walked into the manor in the rain, splashing water with every step. As they walked inside, Claus and several men were already waiting at the hall entrance. Claus stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the five people who broke in. With a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth, he said coldly, “The five of you came uninvited and killed my guards. Do you have any respect for me at all?” The five people stopped and stood in the rain with their big black umbrellas. The man in the middle with the flame pattern on his face sneered and said, “Dragon King Motley, how do you do?” When Claus saw this man, he frowned with a trace of chill and worry. He said, “So it’s you, Ignis!” Then, Claus looked at the other four and said in turn, “Terra, Aqua, Aurum, and Lignum. So, it’s the members of the Five Elements. I wonder what the five envoys are
Ignis lost his patience, and the flame pattern on his face slowly turned red. He said, “Dragon King Motley, we don't have much time. Please take out the secret treasure of the ancient sage or we’ll begin our killing spree here!” “How dare you?!” Claus snorted coldly and shouted, “If people of the Five Elements dare to cause harm to the world, we’ll not sit back and do nothing! Have you forgotten what happened back then?” Ignis shouted angrily, “Hmph, that’s all in the past! Today, the people of the Five Elements are no longer what we used to be. Claus Motley, I advise you to hand over the ancient sage's secret treasure and not cause trouble!” After saying that, the flame pattern on Ignis’ face became hotter, and his arms were slowly covered by flames! The scorching flames evaporated the rain around him. Claus frowned and he said in surprise, “Have you reached the peak of the seventh zone?” Ignis said coldly, “Just a bit more than that.” With that said, a flame figure wa
Vast sword energy shrouded the entire area! Ignis and the other four looked up at the sky! “Is this Greenpeak Sword Formation?” A hint of fear flashed in Lignum’s eyes, but he quickly said, “This isn’t Cody Crane’s Greenpeak Sword Formation. It’s less powerful compared to the real one!” However, as soon as he finished speaking, the huge green sword formation began to rotate. One after another, the green swords fell from the sky within the dark green formation, shooting at Ignis and the others with golden flames! “Retreat!” Ignis roared angrily, raised his hand, and blocked the attack with a fire phoenix barrier! This huge fire phoenix barrier spread its wings that surged with fiery waves and roared. It soared to the sky at the huge Greenpeak Sword Formation! Clang, clink! One after another, green longswords pierced through the wings and body of the fire phoenix. However, the two competing forces offset the terrifying energy. The sky was filled with disintegrating
“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
