Philip started with his existing technique. After one cycle, Philip changed his energy pattern. Although a nuisance, it was worth a try. Without further ado, Philip sat cross-legged on high ground and practiced. There was nothing unusual at first, but every time he changed his energy pattern, Philip would feel pain all over his body at increasing levels. The pain started from his veins, from internal to external, deep to the bone marrow, and extended to his skin. However, there was no disorder in his technique anymore, so Philip gritted his teeth and persisted. By using his mental strength, he observed the color of his energy gradually changing, and even his most powerful level 5S elements were getting stronger. Philip suffered endless mental and physical torture. Finally, after his last energy pattern was changed, the pain completely disappeared, replaced by a sense of exhilaration as if he was on cloud nine. After opening his eyes, Philip found a layer of stinky grime all o
After he realized his surroundings, Philip swam toward the exit with all his strength. The aquarium employees quickly arranged for some people to jump into the water while others waited at the exit. Today was the aquarium’s first day of opening, so it must not be ruined by the appearance of this naked man. A blond old man gritted his teeth and looked at the monitor screen where Philip nimbly dodged the employees like a fish. He slapped the table and shouted, “How the hell are you monitoring this place?” “Manager, this fish is an opening gift from the former White Marsh emperor,” the person next to him said tremblingly. The former White Marsh emperor had a good relationship with the blond old man. The two were playmates when they were children. The blond old man did not shy away from scolding. “Maybe that old geezer is messing with me!” In the center, a group of people from the White Marsh royal family surrounded an old man with gray hair and the little girl he held hands with
Feeling the power from the stone, Philip believed the old man’s words a little. Seeing that Philip was still somewhat doubtful, the old man said to the other members of the White Marsh royal family, “You may return to the Jade Marsh Palace.” The leading eight-star and nine-star powerhouses hesitated for a moment but quickly took their leave. At this time, a little girl ran over, grabbed the old man's hand, hid behind him, and stared at Philip who was not far away. “Grandpa, he’s wearing clothes now.” “My good child, I told you he’s human.” “But he has no hair, and he looks very fierce.” These two did not treat Philip as an outsider and just chatted freely. Philip watched as the old man chatted with his granddaughter. After a while, he approached them. “Please excuse us. This is my eldest son's daughter.” The old man turned to the girl behind him and said, “Gladys, say hello.” Seeing Philip approaching, the girl shrank back even more. “I won’t eat you.” Philip
“Uh, I can’t tell you that.” Seeing the old man going straight to the point, Philip replied. “You should be from the ancestral land. No one here can secretly get the mark of the White Marsh royal family.” The old man's eyes were sharp, and Philip could only answer yes. The little girl opened a little gap in her room door and peeked at the two people in the living room. The two were silent for a while before the old man said thoughtfully, “Rather than the land of the sinned blood, I still prefer to call it the ancestral land.” That was right. This old man really was the former emperor of the White Marsh royal family! An indisputable holy-tier powerhouse! Philip was very nervous. He actually met the legendary emperor of the White Marsh royal family! This was a genuine holy-tier powerhouse! He was unexpectedly peaceful and approachable. Philip learned from the old man that he had four children. The eldest was currently in charge of the White Marsh royal family. The sec
After saying that, the old man raised his hand, exposing his forearm. He could hardly control the violent trembling, even if he was a holy-tier powerhouse. “I fought him once over this matter. I wanted to teach this rascal a lesson, but I didn’t expect to be so useless now that I’m old.” Philip could tell that the other party was helpless. “The food is ready, Mr. Clarke.” The old lady cleared the table and diffused the awkward atmosphere. Gladys was the first to run over and sit down at the dining table. The food was mostly home-cooked dishes but tasted delicious. The old lady said to the old man, “If you’d told me earlier that there’d be a guest, I’d have gone shopping.” “I get it,” the old man said impatiently as he ate. “See, he’s so impatient after just a few words.” Pursing her lips, the old lady served Philip some food and said, “Have some more. If it's not enough, I'll keep cooking.” Philip nodded. Putting aside their identities and his son’s problem, Phi
As Philip pushed the door open, he froze and said firmly, “I’ll make them regret ever coming, then. Also, I’ll be keeping your protective stone.” After saying that, he entered the elevator and waved goodbye to the three of them. Philip went downstairs and found a very burly figure standing in front of the entrance. From the light shining outside, he seemed to be wearing the outfit of the White Marsh royal family. The man crossed his arms and leaned against the door. When he saw Philip coming out, he said in a steady and powerful voice, “Did my father tell you anything unnecessary?” Philip guessed that this person was Mallow's eldest son, Salvatore Wisteria, currently the person with the highest authority in the White Marsh royal family. It was not surprising that he appeared here, and without any entourage around, this should be a private visit. “Nothing much. It was just a casual chat.” With that said, Philip was about to walk past him. “That's good, but I advise you
Philip sat in a dim private room with complete facilities. If not for the auction table under the transparent glass cover in front, this place would look more like a clubhouse. “Sir, if you want to make a bid, just enter the amount through this panel. The auction will start in about half an hour. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. There’s someone outside the room if you need help. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time.” After finding a good viewing spot and sitting down, Philip flipped through the auction items on a tablet, some of which caught Philip’s interest. He pressed a button, and a sexy woman walked in from outside. She said, “How may I help you, Sir?” “Can the item I bid for be offset with the item I put up for auction in terms of star dollars?” The few items that Philip took a fancy to were very important, but he was afraid his pocket was not deep enough. “Yes, Sir.” The woman replied, but seeing that Philip did not speak again, she as
“Let me introduce to you a mermaid captured from the west coast of the continent!” After the host finished speaking, everyone stood up one after another, wanting a clearer look. They took off the cloth, and there was a mermaid curled up in a transparent glass case—quite similar in appearance to those mermaids in the movies. The mermaid was curled up into a ball, and no one could see her face clearly. A person standing on the side pressed a button. An electric current surged in the small glass case, and the mermaid inside rolled and howled in pain. The mermaid’s brown-red curly hair floated in the water. Her skin was like crystal clear white jade, her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and her scales were a mysterious blue-purple of the ocean. “Oh dear, I can't let them torture such a cute woman like this. Seeing her is like a gift from God.” “Her face is simply perfect.” “I want to keep her in my fish pond and make her my precious collection!” “Hahaha, I want t
