Hearing Philip’s words, the man immediately snorted coldly before he pointed at Philip and said, “You should be the one Young Master Curry said who stole the limelight from him!” After a pause, the man walked up to Philip. His men followed. Emily knew that the other party was hostile and immediately pulled Philip back. However, Philip just smiled faintly, signaling Emily not to be afraid. The man said to Philip, “We’ll give you a chance now. If you’re willing to break one hand, Young Master Curry can spare your life, or else…” Philip said, “Or else what?” The man suddenly turned to the mechas at the door of Iris’s bar with Iris standing in front of those mechas. “Show your strength to Miss Iris and this ignorant brat!” As soon as he finished speaking, one guy jumped up from behind him and landed next to the mecha behind Iris. Boom! With one explosion, the mecha was smashed to bits by the man. Seeing this, Iris was about to shoot the man, but Philip walked up to Ir
“Are you even aware of your current situation now? How dare you ask us for star dollars?” “I’ll kill you!” Several people shouted and rushed toward Philip. They did not care if they looked like they were bullying or what others would say! This was the rule of this underground city. Everyone knew the law of the jungle. No one would complain about fairness or justice. Everything was determined by the might of one’s fist. At this moment, the so-called six King Kongs suddenly burst into rays of light—four-star talent practitioners. Philip merely glanced at them with narrowed eyes. At this time, Philip's hand suddenly burst into light too! Fire element! The color of the flame was like brilliant fireworks. However, in the eyes of these six King Kongs, they did not think it looked beautiful. They merely felt a chill spreading up from the soles of their feet. This guy was actually a fire elemental practitioner. “You’re an elemental practitioner?” the leader yelled.
Maybe Iris was so excited to learn that she had awakened her elemental talent! Iris could hardly contain her emotions but Philip was dumbfounded. He did not expect that Iris would do such a thing in her excitement and Philip immediately felt embarrassed. However, Iris said, “Don’t overthink it. I’m just so happy!” As she spoke, Iris also kissed Emily on the cheek. Philip drank his beer in one gulp, and said without looking back, “I’m going out for a walk!” Seeing that, Iris and Emily looked at each other with a smile. Philip had garnered a certain reputation on the lower floor of the underground city now. Especially after Philip defeated the six King Kongs of the Curry family and after the incident involving Arlene Shannon and Young Master Finn, Philip’s fame spread far and wide on the lower floor. However, this was only the lower floor of the underground city after all. To find better medicine and better training resources, Philip must go to the upper floors. The
One of the men from the Finn family snorted coldly and said, “Someone like you isn’t worthy yet. Get away from me!” That guy was full of arrogance and disdain. When Penn’s people heard this, they hurriedly laughed and left. Philip just looked at those from the Finn family. He knew that this matter could not be settled amicably today, and he got ready to fight. At this moment, a voice suddenly rang. “Oh, Philip Clarke, just look at how many enemies you have!” It was another group of people and the leader was none other than Young Master Curry. “I heard from my guys that you wanted me to come in person, so here I am. Let’s see how capable you are!” Philip narrowed his eyes, looked at the people around him, and said, “Very good. Since all the troublemakers have assembled, I’ll take care of you in one fell swoop!” With that said, Philip burst into flames. However, out of Philip’s expectation, a dozen or so mechas landed on the ground at this time. “Philip Clarke, huh?
However, the water wall could not stop the flaming chimera. In just a few seconds, the water wall shattered and vanished into nothingness. These few seconds bought the Finn family a chance to escape. However, as the water vapor filled the air and obstructed the other party’s vision, Philip used this opportunity to attack them one by one. Screams were heard in the mist from time to time. At this time, the large number of people became a disadvantage. They were afraid of hurting one of their own, so they dared not shoot indiscriminately. Philip did not have that concern. He could just do as he pleased. Anyway, those in the mist were all his enemies. At this moment, a strong wind suddenly cleared away the water vapor. After everything returned to clarity, it turned out it was the doing of someone brought by Young Master Curry. He was a talented practitioner of the wind element. Seeing this, everyone was startled and could not react for a while. Philip sneered. In the
Seeing the old man, Philip merely glanced at him without loosening his hold. The old man said, “Philip, I know you’re angry, but do you know what the price will be if you mess with these few big families from the lower floor of the underground city?” Philip did not speak, but he knew very well that if he really made an enemy of these families, all the forces on the lower floor would undergo a reshuffle. With turmoil on the lower floor, countless innocent people like Emily would die tragically. In the end, Philip let them go. Philip said to them, “Listen well. If you mess with me again, I won't be merciful anymore. Remember, this warning extends to everyone!” After speaking, Philip loosened his hold. Young Master Curry coughed violently. No one expected this to happen. Philip listened to the old man completely because of the middle-aged man behind him. In the previous communicator message, Philip noticed that the message about Blackwater Forest had a pattern of a dark
At this moment, Philip reached out and grabbed the man's hand. “If you dare touch me, I won’t mind turning you into a dead hyena!” Philip said coldly as he grabbed Hyena’s wrist. Although he knew that this was a special welcome ceremony in certain places, he did not like it. Especially since Philip did not want to join Cougar Squad at all. However, the people who were here to watch the fun applauded and cheered on Philip’s words. “Hyena, it seems that the newcomer doesn’t take you seriously at all. You need to teach him a lesson!” Hyena smiled and said, “My thoughts exactly!” While speaking, he reached out to lift Philip high in the air, but to his surprise, Philip’s feet seemed rooted to the floor. However, Hyena was all the more provoked by this. Hyena roared, and six rays of light burst from his body! A six-star talent practitioner? Philip frowned. He was not surprised by the strength of this man but by the middle-aged man instead. How strong could he be if all
Without exception, no one was Philip's opponent, and no one could even survive one round under Philip's hands. “That’s enough. Stop messing around. Mr. Clarke is just teasing you. Can't you see that?” When Philip heard this voice, he also saw the middle-aged man who gave him the dark golden card. The middle-aged man smiled at Philip and said, “Mr. Philip, please excuse them. They’re just a bunch of rowdy people.” Philip flipped out of the ring and signaled to the middle-aged man that he was not offended. This middle-aged man was quite diplomatic. Not only did his remarks remove Philip’s unease, but he also elevated Philip’s status and allowed his subordinates to preserve their dignity. “Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the leader of Cougar Squad, Cougar Yorkshire. I’m a seven-star talent practitioner of the wood element.” Philip looked at the other party’s hand and shook it, but he merely said, “Philip Clarke.” Cougar smiled at Philip and said, “This isn’t the place to
“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
