Hardy spat derisively but still attacked the last standing mecha. After realizing that sword intent was effective, almost all of Hardy's attacks could deal considerable damage to the mecha. In just a few moves, the last mecha turned into scrap metal and scattered on the ground. At this time, there were three balls of strong and pure sword intent on the field. Hardy tried to take them away but was scratched upon approach. The others also tried, but no one could absorb any of it. On this side, Philip had wrapped Caelum Sword in a piece of cloth. Next to him, Carter’s condition seemed much more stable after his timely treatment, while Claire had fallen asleep like a baby. Hardy walked over slowly, seemingly very interested in Philip's ability to kill the mechas. He asked, “How did you do it?” Philip pretended to be weak, pointed to the sleeping Claire, and said, “Like her, my ability suddenly exploded.” “What’s up with the sword behind you?” Seeing that Philip was carryi
After some people collected their emotions, they took care of the bodies of the people they knew. At this time, the people who entered the third portal looked numb. Although they got some pills, those pills that were about to lose their efficacy were not worth such a treacherous journey. Looking at the dark passage ahead, they reluctantly dragged their feet inside. After walking for a long time and just when they were about to collapse, a stone door that could only accommodate two people standing side-by-side appeared at the end of the tunnel. A few lines of words were scrawled on the door. Just as everyone was at a loss for what to do with the incomprehensible words, an unknown old man with gray hair pushed aside the crowd and walked up to the door. “Sword practitioners have to fight continuously right from the start of practice. They’ll fight with people, with heaven and earth, and with themselves. Only the party that survives the fights can be called powerful. Select two s
A dragon’s roar resounded throughout the bamboo forest. Before Hardy got over his surprise, Philip had completed his sword attack. Caelum Sword transformed into countless swords before merging as one again. It was more than several times stronger than before, and the image of an ancient giant sword could be seen right behind it. “All Swords As One!” Philip raised his sword and met the Wind Slash technique head-on. The mysterious man drinking tea applauded. The two swords collided, and the impact shook the forest with leaves flying all over the place. The two retreated to the edge of the bamboo forest at the same time. Philip’s hand felt slightly numb, while a chink appeared on Hardy’s sword. “Good, very good. You didn’t disappoint me,” Hardy said to Philip fanatically. “I’m afraid things won’t go as you wish this time.”After Philip said that, his hands burst into flames, and two fiery snakes wrapped around Caelum Sword. The burning Caelum Sword roasted the surrounding
Hardy raised his hands to block the fearsome sword attack. Although he caught the sword, his palm was cut more than three inches deep with blood gushing out. “Come here!” Hardy gripped the blade tightly with one hand while grabbing Philip’s neck with the other. Philip would not allow anyone to grasp his vitals so easily. An earth pillar rose to block Hardy's sharp claws while Philip used his sword to chop four fingers off of Hardy’s left hand. However, maybe due to the ancient dragon bloodline, Hardy did not seem to be in pain. He merely laughed and said, “Let’s see how many times you can escape!” The healing ability of the ancient dragon bloodline was very strong. Hardy took his severed fingers and pressed them on his wounds. In just a few seconds, the severed sections stopped bleeding. A dragon’s roar was heard from Hardy’s mouth, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, signaling the storm to come. Philip did not expect that Hardy’s impure ancient dragon bloo
“I see that you have a certain level of achievement in sword practice. I have a sword technique, and I wonder if you’d be interested in learning it,” the old man asked with a smile. “Please give me your guidance, sir!” Philip bowed and said. “Let’s go to another place,” the old man closed his eyes and said. The scenery around the two of them changed like a revolving light and finally stopped beside a small stone gazebo with a few sturdy bamboos growing on the sides. The old man took Philip into the gazebo and said, “I see that your swordplay is quite open and unrestrained, but there’s a trace of imperceptible finesse in it. Although unrestrained, all your moves are true to your heart.” “My swordplay is called ‘Forthright Swordplay’, created when I traveled the world during my younger days and experienced all walks of life. This sword technique can only be mastered by a broad-minded person. A narrow-minded person who learns this technique will definitely go mad.” After that,
Everyone crowded around and discussed loudly. Several people cut their fingers eagerly. The light glowed and transformed—‘Level 6’. The moment the light appeared, a sword stuck on the edge of the stone moved a little, and the man stepped forward and took it out effortlessly. Everyone became excited and scrambled to test their sword talents. Even Lazaro, the sword practitioner with an upright appearance but who fled right before the battle, pushed everyone aside with the intention to do the test. Suddenly, a wall made of earth rose and separated the crowd from the stone tablet. The strong fluctuations of the earth element made it impossible for the crowd to break through. “Stop pushing and take turns. There are many swords here. I’m sure those with talents will definitely get one.” A short figure emerged from the crowd and shouted. Although no one was willing to line up at the back of the line, they still did while fighting with each other to get a better spot. Phili
The words on the stone tablet kept changing before finally staying on level ten. The sword at the top of the stone flew out and landed right in Philip’s hands. Although the commotion was small, some attentive people still noticed. Someone exclaimed when they saw this, and for a while, everyone who had been paying attention to the injured looked at this young but powerful and handsome man. The women winked at Philip, while the men wished they were Philip. As for Philip, he held the sword and wondered if the stone tablet could not assess level 11. If others knew what he was thinking, they would probably praise his conceit. Philip said to everyone, “Thank you for your concern. I shall humbly accept this reward.” Seeing Philip being so courteous, everyone congratulated Philip for getting the sword. When Philip returned to the Montana Alliance team, he received another wave of blessings and congratulations. Even a few who were cursing him just now congratulated Philip with f
The swords scattered all over the ground were taken away by those who did not get one before. Although those with some talents felt upset upon seeing this, no one said anything. This staircase did not seem to have walls or railings on both sides. A few brave people stepped forward to explore a little and only found a bare staircase. What should they do? They could not see the bottom of the staircase. If they accidentally fell, they might end up as a pile of mincemeat. Philip took out the fluorescent stick they received earlier and tossed it down. After more than ten seconds, they heard it landing. This meant it was roughly more than 150 meters to the bottom. Everyone looked at each other, at a loss of whether to go down or not. Several people who were afraid of heights claimed that they would not go down no matter what. Several wind elemental practitioners wrapped their bodies in the gust of wind and slowly floated down the stairs. Seeing this, everyone did what they could.
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
