“Coming.” It was Janike’s voice. Soon, the door opened, and a cute little face full of smiles appeared in front of Philip. “Hey, Philip, you’re here. Come in quickly.” Janike was very happy upon seeing Philip. She grabbed his arm and pulled him into the room. Philip walked in and glanced around. The room was about 100 square meters, and it was the largest room he had seen so far. It was decorated according to the tastes of a little girl, full of pink furnishings. Blackie was also there, standing haughtily on a shelf. It stared at Philip with narrowed eyes. Then, it jumped down and circled Philip while sniffing him. After that, Blackie sat down, grumbled to Janike, and made some gestures. Janike blinked her twinkling big eyes. Philip frowned upon seeing this and asked, “Is it saying something bad about me?” Janike said, “Philip, Blackie said that it senses a familiar smell on you. It tried to kill us before.” Hearing that, Philip’s face darkened. Someone who tried
Looking at the delicate little box in his hand, Philip was silent for a moment before he opened the box. There was a stone key with a special engraving inside. Under the key, there was a note. Philip opened the note and was shocked when he saw the content! It was left by his mother! [Phil, when you receive this stone key, it means that you’ve entered Cochly Mountain and approached the stargate. The journey through the stargate is extraordinary. The stone key is the key to opening the passage. You have to keep it safe and wait until the brink of crisis before using it. Phil, if you cross the stargate and enter the other shore one day, remember my words. Be careful with everything. My good boy, I’ll always be proud of you.] The content was very brief, but Philip’s hands trembled, and his eyes were blurry upon reading it. It was something his mother left behind. The stone key was actually the key to the passage in the Larson family’s secret vault. In other words, this was
Philip came back to his senses and stared at his chest in disbelief. This ancient sage's secret treasure had never acknowledged him. Although he could bring it around freely, it was also because he had Emperor Kai’s Token with him. Now, under Blackie’s intimidation, this little thing had finally acknowledged Philip as its master. Then, Blackie bared its fangs and circled Philip. It sat on the floor and jerked its head up at Philip as if showing off. Philip smiled and said, “Thank you, little one.” With that said, Philip turned around and left. After Philip left the Death Canyon, he finally looked back. That altar gave Philip a very uneasy feeling. After returning to the dormitory of the training camp, Fennel and the others also returned with no serious problems. The doctors of Cochly Mountain and those special drugs healed them very quickly. “You’re back. I heard that you went near the stargate. What did you see?” Fennel asked. Philip told Fennel what he saw. Fennel
Philip was too familiar with this silhouette which had appeared in his dreams countless times. It was Wynn Johnston, his wife! Philip walked over quickly and shouted, “Wynnie, is that you?” The graceful woman turned around with a gentle smile on her lips. She looked at Philip in front of her with tears in her eyes and said, “Philip, it’s been a long time.” The moment Philip saw Wynn, he hugged her tightly and said, “Wynnie, promise me, don't leave me again!” Wynn nodded in Philip’s arms and replied, “Okay, I promise.” At this moment, everything else in this world was not as important as Wynn in Philip’s arms. He had looked forward to finding Wynn countless times, and his wish came true at last. “Wynnie, what's going on here? Don't you have amnesia? Why are you here?” Philip had endless questions and asked anxiously at this moment. Wynn touched Philip’s cheeks and said tearfully, “I’m sorry, Philip. I’m sorry.” After she said this, an uncanny voice rang on the side
Shane smiled and said, “It’s very simple. I want you to open the stargate for us.” Hearing this, Philip immediately refused. “You must be dreaming. I can't open the stargate at all. It’s guarded by several half-steps to the other shore. Besides, I don’t know how to open the stargate either.” Shane laughed and said, “Oh, Philip, I really don't know what to say about you. You’re the key to opening the stargate. Otherwise, why do you think the Lovelace family would go through such pains to lead you to Cochly Mountain and bring you here to see me?” He was the key to opening the stargate? Philip frowned. Seeing that, Shane sneered and said, “It seems that they’ve kept a lot of things from you. Well then, let me tell you the secret about the stargate today. “The stargate is a gateway from this world to the other shore. You can see it as a sealed door left behind by some supreme powerhouses back then in order to block the two worlds. The stargate has prevented the invasion from th
Shane’s every word exploded in Philip’s mind and made him grim. This was absolutely impossible! “That’s bullsh*t! You’re just trying to confuse me and make me angry!” Philip said solemnly, and the red flames on his body were about to explode! Shane snorted and said, “Philip, why should I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask your father. Ask him what the origin of your Clarke family is and where your Clarke family’s door came from! “Once the news spread to the outside world, I believe it’ll cause a commotion. “The richest Clarke family actually came from the other shore. How will others view the Clarke family? And how will you face the world?” Philip fell silent. He clenched his fists, punched Shane, and said, “Shut up!” Boom! This punch did not hit Shane because Wynn stepped forward and stood in front of Shane. Philip had to retract his punch. He looked at Wynn in confusion and asked, “Why?” Wynn looked at Philip with tears in her eyes and said, “Philip,
However, the two held back with their attacks. Otherwise, this cave would have collapsed! “Since you refuse to work with me, I won’t force you, but you must complete the task of opening the stargate for the Lovelace family. Otherwise, Wynn will stay in the Lovelace family for the rest of her life!” Shane said coldly. This was a warning! Philip scowled and said, “If the Lovelace family dares to do this, I’ll obliterate you!” “Hehe.” Shane sneered and said, “You don't have the strength and qualifications yet. With your current strength, it’s a fool's errand to want to obliterate the Lovelace family.” Philip’s expression darkened as he said, “The day will come.” Shane scowled as a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he finally held back and said, “The chance has been given to you. You should make the right choice.” Philip said coldly, “The stargate will be opened in a month, and enough talents will be selected to enter the other shore for training. Hasn’t your L
Soon, Philip found Marquis Fulmore. “What did you say? You want to enter the stargate?” Marquis Fulmore’s face was solemn, and he looked at Philip in confusion. Philip said earnestly, “Yes, I want to enter the stargate to take a look.” After a moment of silence, Marquis Fulmore said, “Okay, I’ll show you.” After saying that, Marquis Fulmore took Philip and Fennel through the Death Canyon and arrived at the vast land where the broken walls and ruins came into view. The altar stood right in the middle. Marquis Fulmore led Philip and Fennel to the altar and used special means to open the altar, which was a deep and dark abyss. As they stood above the altar and stared at the abyss under the altar, they could feel the terrifying vibes that wafted over them. It was a bottomless pit that leaked heart-pounding pressure. Marquis Fulmore jumped down, and Philip and Fennel followed suit. After almost half a minute, they finally landed on the ground. Philip looked around the
“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
