The eagle-eyed man frowned and asked a girl next to him who was looking down at the insects, “Is there something wrong with my eyes? I keep feeling that someone is up there, but I can’t detect them with my senses.” The girl looked around and said doubtfully, “There’s no one.” “Maybe my eyesight is going bad.” The man lowered his head and blinked vigorously. The two wore the crest of the ancient dragon royal family. Philip left this place. According to the promotional video of the Heroes Conference he saw earlier, it should start in about six months, but the audition should start three months before that. This time, Philip drove continuously for five days and four nights. There was no worry about running out of energy. Even if he drove at full speed, the high-grade energy stone he installed earlier still had half its energy left. Philip landed slowly. After passing through several checkpoints in the green ox royal family, Philip handed over his temporary pass and stepped i
After the man finished speaking, he found a thick branch and took an afternoon nap. The pork was roasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the special gamey aroma emitted by wild boar was completely trapped in the meat. The meat had equal parts of fat and lean meat, so Philip did not feel queasy even after he finished the whole leg. About half an hour later, the man jumped down from the tree. He took out a formidable-looking scimitar about half the size of an adult from his space ring and started practicing in the open field. Although no energy was produced, the surrounding leaves rustled, stirred up by the simple movements. His technique was open and forthright. The blade was sharp, and the scimitar wielder was even sharper. Philip looked at the technique and thought it focused on the basics. The man stopped slowly and Philip applauded. When Philip was about to ask his origins, a cry in the distance attracted the man. Judging from the sound, it should be
Looking at the changes that came over the rhino, Philip asked the man next to him, “Did you see that man just now?” The man nodded and said, “He’s probably from the Spirit Beast Guild.” “The Spirit Beast Guild?” Before Philip could ask further, the man rushed forward with his scimitar again, but the scimitar intent was not so calm now. It was violent like an erupting volcano. The rhino’s transformation was basically over. The horn on its head had grown by more than half, and the blue porcelain-like patterns on its body looked like bursting blood vessels. The man’s scimitar struck this creature that had turned into a demonic beast, and the spraying blood corroded everything around like strong acid. The rhino was bulky in size, but its attack was very strong. Getting hit by that sharp horn would mean the end of the fight. The man kept jumping and dodging the rhino’s attack. He saw the right opportunity and cut off the rhino’s horn with one blow. The next slash cut open th
During these few days of interaction, although Gordon did not reveal his level, Philip guessed that he was at least at the early stage of eight stars, and the level of his scimitar intent was very solid. He was also the first person Philip had come across to participate in the Heroes Conference, which should be very interesting. Philip tried to bring the energy practice module of the Three Phase God-Demon Technique to the second level, but every time he tried to advance, he felt that something was missing, so he was at a loss for a while. Around noon on the fifth day of living here, the sound of a group of people approaching the wooden house caught Philip's attention. It should be some people traveling. Philip was not bothered and got up to prepare lunch. The leader stopped after seeing the wooden house. There were nine people, a mix of men and women. They did not have any transportation, and they were not very old, so Philip guessed that they were participants in the Heroe
Philip picked up the stone fruit and ate it after wiping it. The nine people just now did not produce much fluctuation. Except for the courteous leader who was at the early stage of seven stars, the rest were mid to late stages of six stars. One girl was even at the late stage of five stars with a great fluctuation of the earth element. Taking the stone fruit should be helpful to her. Philip stayed here for another 30 days, during which he explored every nook and cranny within a hundred miles. Philip also tested every special herb in the vicinity, but his level was as solid as a rock. During this time, Gordon also sparred with Philip a few times. They used the scimitar intent and sword intent respectively, but Philip was still slightly better. Although Gordon might have a trump card, Philip was not without one either. There was no point in staying here any longer. Gordon could improve his scimitar intent through killing here, but not Philip. Recently, however, more people
In the past month, Philip had modified his space ring. He added soil, running water, oxygen, plants, and some living creatures to it. After several adjustments, he was finally done. Philip also built a hut for the sword spirit of Caelum Sword. Although she protested every day, wanting to live in a big house instead, she was obviously very pleased. In other aspects, Philip got to know various special herbs and spirit beasts. After trying for many days, he finally reached the second level of the Three Phase God-Demon Technique's energy practice, and his overall elemental energy became more solid. Ever since he came to the territory of the fire phoenix royal family, Philip had not entered the city, which he finally visited today. When the routine inspection team on the edge of the city heard that Philip was here to attend the Heroes Conference, they were very enthusiastic and quickly issued a temporary pass for him. The biggest feature of this city was the numerous roads between
The man saw Philip as well and approached him while waving his hand. It was none other than the leader of the team that was looking for the stone fruit in the forest. Although Philip looked very different now, the man still recognized his aura at a glance. “Sir, we meet again.” The man was very friendly. “Hehe, has that team member of yours successfully advanced?” Philip said while walking. “Thanks to you, she reached six stars smoothly after taking the stone fruit,” the man said with a laugh. Philip wanted to find a barbershop to trim the messy hair on his face. The man seemed very free and started to hang out with Philip. Seeing that Philip was a little impatient, the man suddenly said, “Sir, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Carl Redd from Tranquil Valley of the green ox royal family.” “Oh, I see. I’m Gordon Tine.” Philip said lightly. Seeing that this person had no intention of leaving, he turned and asked, “Is there anything else?” Carl scratched his head in em
“Please excuse my ignorance. This way, please!” With that said, the manager bowed and led Philip inside. However, his face was full of wicked smiles as if he had seen a big prey. “I have ten million star dollars here. Let’s see how we can play today. If things don’t go well, I’m afraid I’ll lose everything to you.” Philip waved the communicator in his hand and said self-deprecatingly. “We wouldn’t dare.” The manager said so but secretly called someone specially hired by their casino. Philip came to a spinning wheel full of holes, and a pipe was located on the top of the wheel. “How does this work?” Philip asked. The manager pressed a button, and the wheel spun faster and faster. A small ball was fired through the pipe onto the wheel. After spinning around with a loud tinkling sound, the ball finally fell into hole number 36. Philip explored the inside of the machine with his senses, but there was a large magic circle here that prevented people’s detection. Despite
“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
