With that threat, the bald man ran away. Philip’s expression darkened. He glanced at the people watching the fun in the distance and shouted coldly, “Anyone else wants to try?” Those people snorted, turned around, and went on with their own business. Philip stood for a while before turning around and entering the dormitory. Fennel and the others were already resting on the beds, while 17 was polishing her scimitar. “How was it?” Fennel asked while lying on the bed with his head pillowed in his arms. Philip sat on his bed and said, “I tested them. They’re so-so.” “Who do you think sent them?” Fennel got up and asked. Philip thought for a while and said, “We just arrived and didn’t really run into anyone. Either Commander Greene wants to test our strength, or the group of people who tried to kill us earlier want to spread the rumors on purpose.” “Are you referring to Reynold?” Fennel asked with a frown. “Bingo.” Philip nodded, got up, and said, “Do you still remember
Janike spread her arms open, and her body suddenly glowed like white jade. The bright glow poured into the black stargate, which its end could not be seen. It was as if the stargate was a monster that devoured everything, constantly consuming the mysterious power of rules from Janike. This process continued for several hours. Janike became very weak, and her lips turned pale. Marquis Fulmore waved his hand, brought Janike away from the stargate, and said to the servant behind him, “Bring the guardian maiden to rest.” Marquis Fulmore and the others looked at the stargate that was finally calm and said, “Peace has been restored at last. A few days later and I’m afraid we wouldn’t even be able to restrain the stargate if we join forces.” Another marquis nodded and said with a frown, “The lord took Juno Yarrow to seal the stargate again back then. Why does the stargate still show such abnormal fluctuations?” Marquis Fulmore shook his head and said, “I don't know either. Maybe
The Death Canyon was marked on the map as the most dangerous and heavily guarded place. Heavily armed guards were stationed at the entrance of Death Canyon. Many high-level disciples also stood guard nearby. Philip and Fennel hid in the snowy woods on one side, looking into the darkness in the distance at the patrolling guards and the huge searchlights. Basically, no living person could break in. In the dark, the guards were chatting and smoking. Not even the cry of a bird could be heard, only the whistling cold wind. Philip glanced at Fennel and asked, “Do you think you can break in?” Fennel shrugged and said, “Almost impossible.” “Look, the ones with the giant axes are the warriors guarding Death Canyon. They look quite strong, probably disciples at the peak of the sixth zone. Once we fight with them, there’s sure to be a big commotion. It’ll be difficult to get in at that time.” Philip frowned and looked at the entrance of the Death Canyon where the four fat guys w
“Do you know that your appearance in Cochly Mountain has attracted the attention of many people?” Marquis Fulmore asked. Philip frowned and said, “I know.” Marquis Fulmore sighed and said, “I know what you're thinking. Your recklessness will ruin the overall plan. Cochly Mountain is not as simple as you think. The forces here are many and complicated, and everyone serves their master loyally. If you act impulsively, you’ll most likely offend some people behind them. When the time comes, I can’t stop them if they want to do anything to you.” Philip frowned and said, “Even a powerful half-step to the other shore like you are afraid of those people in the dark?” Marquis Fulmore turned around, glanced at Philip with a hint of admiration in the corner of his eyes, and said, “To many people, a half-step to the other shore can practically rule over a country single-handedly. But in Cochly Mountain, strength doesn’t mean everything. The scheming and chess game behind this, as well as t
His father knew of the reason? Philip was solemn as a bad premonition welled in him. This sudden turn of events had caught him off guard. They actually wanted to forcefully open the stargate and select talents to enter the other shore for this so-called training. “Marquis Fulmore, have you conducted similar training before?” Philip asked. Marquis Fulmore nodded and said, “Yes, but all ended in failure. None of the trainees who entered the other shore survived. However, we still persisted in doing so every time. Only by doing so can we understand the level of civilization and strength of that world and prepare ourselves better.” Hearing this, Philip frowned and asked, “My father and the others, have they never trained on the other shore before?” Marquis Fulmore shook his head and said, “No, but according to historical records, our predecessors have returned safely from the other shore before. Those supreme powerhouses have left a strong legacy in history, but they didn’t say
So that was the case. Philip nodded silently. Marquis Fulmore returned the token to Philip and said gravely, “Although Emperor Kai’s Token isn’t as good as the Human Emperor’s Token, to a certain degree, its usage is the same. The splendor of the First Emperor still commands awe. Even someone like Emperor Kai wouldn’t dare to call himself the Human Emperor, so you can imagine what a supreme presence it is. Kid, I never expect that you’d be acknowledged by the Human Emperor as his successor. Do your best. This world will eventually be handed over to the younger generation as you.” While saying that, Marquis Fulmore patted Philip on his shoulder, putting all his hopes and ambition on him. The world belonged to the younger generation, after all. Old people like them could only do their best to clear the obstacles for these young people of the future. Philip nodded and said, “Thanks for your clarification, Marquis Fulmore.” Marquis Fulmore smiled and said, “Have a good rest. I’ll
“Kid, you’re courting death!” Brody was furious and threw a punch at Philip’s head! The surrounding onlookers snickered coldly. “Hehe, this kid is dead. How dare he mess with that bad-tempered Brody?” “I heard that he defeated Reynold. I was wondering if it was true. We can see it now.” “I call bullsh*t. Just look at his small size. I bet he can’t even beat Brody.” Boom! An explosion suddenly resounded throughout the training camp! Just when everyone thought that Brody would smash Philip’s head with a punch, Philip raised his fist lightly and threw a punch too. Brody’s fist was smashed to pieces in an instant. His skin was ripped apart, and he clutched his bloody right fist. He staggered back, glared at Philip viciously, and said, “H-How dare you fight back?” Many people were shocked at this scene. “Whoa, he has some moves. He blasted Brody’s fist with one punch.” “Interesting. This kid isn’t that weak. It looks like Reynold’s defeat wasn’t a lie, after all.”
Philip chuckled and said, “It’s okay. Of course, it’d be better if fewer people turn up to test my strength.” Haha. Owen laughed and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, you’re quite humorous. However, too many people want to test you because they see you as a thorn in their sides or maybe highly sought after.” Philip frowned in confusion and asked, “What do you mean by that?” Owen turned around to look at the defenses of Cochly Mountain displayed on the big electronic screen and said, “Here, you won’t find any absolute friends, only absolute interests. Your arrival here has ruined some people’s plans, so you’ll be seen as a thorn in their sides. Of course, many people also welcome your arrival because they have their own objectives too, and you have what they want.” Philip’s eyes were cold, and he asked suddenly, “Then which side do you belong to? Do you find me a thorn in the side or otherwise?” The atmosphere suddenly tensed. Owen’s eyes flickered as he stared at Philip. He
