The messenger who came with him stepped forward and smiled flatteringly, wanting to take the special medicine from Philip as he spoke. “Take me to Elder Whitmore.” Philip simply turned around and left. The people of Montana Alliance looked at each other. Was this person not here to help them grab the special medicine? Why did he take it with him? The man took Philip back to Montana Alliance. In the meeting room, Elder Whitmore could not hide his smile when he heard that Philip had defeated those people of Starfire Alliance one after another. However, when he heard that Commander Graham had given Philip the special medicine, his smile froze again. Elder Whitmore stood up, took Philip's hand, and said with a smile, “Philip, if you’re interested in this herb, you can take it. If you want to know more about it, the door of Montana Alliance’s medical hall will always be open for you.” While he spoke, Elder Whitmore kept rubbing the back of Philip's hand. Philip felt all cree
“I learned through some channels that a special medicine here can bring people back to life. Your grandfather has been ill for many years, so I had to come here, even if I had to leave my young son. “Also, I have many things I need to do here—for the country, for the human race, and you, my child.” At this point, there was guilt in the image of Philip's mother. “Phil, I’m sorry.” “Mom.” Since Philip could remember, this was the first time his mother apologized to him. “I found the special medicine. It’s in a box under the table. No one can open it except you. I planned to return to Earth after getting everything, but…” His mother wore a difficult expression before she continued, “Phil, before you reach the pseudo realm of the other shore, don’t come into contact with any members of the royal family. I have to go now.” With that said, the image scattered into fluorescent light. Philip was silent for a long while. He calmed his emotions and found the box with the herbs hi
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Philip was shocked. “How scandalous. He abandoned his wife and kid at such a young age.” “I can’t believe that a nice-looking young man like him could behave this way.” “He’s nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Amid everyone’s pointing fingers and accusations, Philip's face darkened. He turned around, picked up the girl, and disappeared between the buildings in a flash. Philip stopped in an alley. He looked at the snickering girl and wondered if all the girls in this world were so wicked. “Tell me what you want,” Philip said in exasperation. “Elder Whitmore was afraid you’d get lost, so he asked me to be your tour guide,” the girl said with a smile. ‘Rather than a tour guide, a watchdog seems more like it,’ Philip thought inwardly. Philip sighed and said, “It just happens that I want to see Elder Whitmore. Lead the way.” “Elder Whitmore has gone to attend the Alliance Meeting and won’t be back until tomorrow. I'd better show you ar
Soon, an old man dressed in linen walked out. Except for the communicator on his wrist, he looked like an ancient elder. He slowly walked up to Philip and said smilingly, “It’s been a while since the medical hall received any guests.” With that said, the old man raised his head and opened his eyes under his bushy white eyebrows. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Philip carefully, muttering under his breath, “Oh, very similar, indeed.” Claire imitated the old man and looked at Philip's face but did not notice anything. She asked the old man blankly, “Similar to what?” It was uncomfortable being scrutinized by two people like this. Philip said helplessly, “That will do.” “Ahem, my name is Timo Keppel. You can also call me Old Man Keppel.” The old man returned to his senses and introduced himself to Philip. “My name is—” “His name is Philip Clarke!” Philip was interrupted again by Claire. Seeing that she had not learned her lesson yet, he slapped her on the back of
Claire's eyes lit up, and she turned her focus on this dish. She said, “I’ll have that.” “Pebble grass with mixed vegetables can help in physical growth and development, but…” Before Timo could finish speaking, Claire had already put a spoonful into her mouth and promptly screamed. Timo continued with a smile, “But pebble grass is hotter than chili peppers.” Following that, more than a dozen dishes were introduced, each with its own special effect. Even Philip, whose realm had been stuck in the early stage of a half-step to the other shore, felt as if there was a slight advancement. In the next two days, Philip read all the books in the medical hall and asked Mr. Keppel about some herbal knowledge. The herb he got from Commander Graham the other day was a grade-seven herb to prolong life. This herb mostly grew in obscure places, and herbs were also divided into grades, from grade one through 11. The higher the grade, the rarer it was! Grade ten was also called the holy
After receiving the message, Philip said goodbye to Claire and Timo and quickly left for the meeting room. In Montana Alliance’s meeting room, Elder Whitmore stood at the head of the table, talking to everyone about the battle plan formulated by the ancient dragon royal family. As this meeting was held urgently, Elder Whitmore could only find time to send Philip a message. The territory of the alliance was not big, and Philip and Claire only took five minutes to go from the medical hall to this meeting room. To Philip’s surprise, Claire was able to keep up with 50% of his speed. Although she seemed to be struggling, it was incredible enough. At the entrance of the meeting room, Claire pushed the door open before Philip could. Everyone in the meeting room turned to the two. Everyone’s reaction was different, but Philip was caught off-guard by the greetings calling the Alliance Master. Although some people said it reluctantly, everyone still said it. Claire ignored Philip w
For a god-tier sword practitioner to die of serious injuries, it went to show how ridiculously powerful his enemy must be! That opponent must surely be a god-tier too! “Many forces have been keeping an eye on the sword tomb ever since its inception, and now the sword coercion surrounding it is slowly fading. We must quickly take the lead before it completely dissipates.” “The briefing is over. Let's start the combat assignment.” Elder Whitmore turned off the projection behind him, took a sip of water, and continued, “I, the alliance master, Philip, and Mr. Carter Marsden sent by the royal family will form the first team. We’ll be located in the center of the main troops to conduct the battlefield command. “The second team…” Philip did not pay attention to the details but narrowed his eyes at the man sitting opposite him. He was wearing a tight-fitting silver combat uniform with a metallic luster, looking extraordinary at first glance. His face was quite handsome too. When
The newcomer’s face was stoic, and his height was close to two meters tall. He wore a khaki combat uniform with a crest of the ancient dragon royal family as a symbol of his status. His eyes had nearly no whites as his gaze swept over the audience. Even Elder Whitmore seemed quite surprised by his arrival. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “My lord, why are you here?” “Why? Am I not welcome?” When this person spoke, everyone felt as if they were trapped in an ice cellar. “We welcome you, of course.” Elder Whitmore broke out in a cold sweat and said, “What orders do you have, my lord?” Except for a few steady people in the crowd, most of the people started whispering among themselves. “Hasn't the royal family already sent us someone?” “This person looks like a member of the Shell family, a true member of the ancient dragon royal family.” “Really? Do they value us so much?” The gloomy man coughed and said aloud, “I’m Hardy Shell, here today to go with all of y
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“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
