Seeing this, Philip frowned. If it was really for the sake of fairness, everyone should just be assigned to the Devil’s Courtyard. Why do this instead? There must be an ulterior motive behind this Heroes Conference. When the lightning passed, everyone realized that Philip was the only one who did not come down from the stands. This also meant that only Philip walked out of the Devil's Courtyard alive. However, this point alone made everyone look at Philip strangely. When these people who had gone through the lightning session returned to the stands, several groups of strangers walked in. These strangers had no royal crests on them and seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Someone could not help asking, “Who are they? I don’t think they went through the test.” The old man just glanced at the person who spoke without a word. In the next second, a person among the group of people he complained about walked out. This man was tall and thin with an arrogant expressio
“Take out your tokens and you’ll find the order of your fights.” At the old man’s command, everyone took out their tokens. When three tokens were combined, a number appeared. Philip did the same, and the number that appeared was one. Philip smiled wryly before he jumped lightly onto the ring. He did not expect to be the first contestant. Seeing this scene, the old man frowned slightly. The only person who walked out of the Devil's Courtyard alive was Philip. The old man was more or less aware of his strength. No matter who Philip faced, it would be unfair. The person up against Philip did not step forward. At this time, the old man said loudly, “Due to the special circumstances of contestant Philip Clarke, I’d like to ask one of the three parties to select a person to fight against him.” Everyone was aware that Philip was the only one who survived the Devil's Courtyard. Silence fell. No one expected that Philip would have to deal with these specially invited guest
“Not bad, he's actually an eight-star practitioner. It seems that I need to take this more seriously.” The diabolic cultist stopped holding back and flashed around the arena. Every time he moved to a new position, he would leave behind a figure like a clone. At this time, Philip could not tell which figure was his true body. A burst of arrogant laughter sounded. “Kid, go to hell.” All the clones moved, and bursts of light shot out from under their cloaks with gray smoke. The intensive attacks made it impossible for Philip to hide. Sword energy lashed continuously. Although it could withstand the smoke temporarily, the sword energy would be corroded very quickly. The skill of this diabolic cultist was very weird, something Philip had never encountered before. Philip's defense seemed to be getting weaker, and the smoke almost covered Philip several times. Everyone could tell that Philip was at the end of his rope. At this moment, the diabolic cultist appeared in the c
Philip’s match was a good start for everyone. After all, he was up against one of the three invited parties, while the participants of the Heroes Conference could be considered the weaker party. Philip’s battle greatly motivated them. Philip did not remain in the stands but walked slowly to the young man who warned him earlier. “Thank you for your help just now.” Philip's voice was soft and slow. He had a smile on his face. Conlay Nox said indifferently, “You don't need to thank me. He wasn't your match in the first place. I was too hasty.” Seeing Conlay's expression, Philip knew that he was kind but aloof. Philip felt an affinity for Conlay at this moment. “If you want to thank me, please fight with all your strength when you’re up against me.” Conlay suddenly added, but his eyes were focused on the ring the whole time without looking at Philip. “Of course. If we meet each other, please don’t hold back.” Philip returned to his stand and sat down. At this time,
The old man announced, “To increase the level of difficulty for everyone, we’ll include some special props in the second round.” Several stone pillars suddenly emerged from the ground, and lightning flashed on the stone pillars. Seeing this scene, everyone was taken aback for a moment. Of course, this did not include the people from the three major forces, who seemed used to such scenes. However, members from various royal families frowned at this scene. They had experienced one round of lightning strikes earlier, so when they saw these stone pillars now, they could not help but feel a little apprehensive. “Philip Clarke!” The old man suddenly called out Philip's name. “The second round will start with you again. Do you have any objections?” Of course, Philip had no objection. Even if he did, the old man might not listen to his opinion. However, to his surprise, the old man who had always emphasized fairness said, “The heavenly general of the ancient Heavenly Court, m
It was not over yet. Felix underwent another transformation, and his head was replaced by an ox's head. At this time, he turned into a monster with a human body and an ox head. Felix’s every attack could set off waves, and the wind could practically set off a storm. The power of his strength was pretty obvious. Seeing this, Philip put away his Caelum Sword. His fighting intent was sparked by Felix, and he turned into a chimera giant. Felix was not the only one who could do this. Philip wanted to see who was stronger between the two, Philip or Felix. In everyone’s surprised gazes, Philip began to grow bigger. Seeing this, Felix's eyes flashed with a strong fighting spirit. “Very good, I didn’t expect you to be able to do this too.” Felix applauded. He never thought that Philip would have the same moves as him. With a loud bang, the four arms of the two giants clashed. Philip’s chimera claws felt like they were scratching unbreakable iron on Felix’s body. Felix
“You don’t have the right to choose!” After the heavenly general finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and the spear returned to his hand again. In a flash, he appeared before Philip. The spear in his hand suddenly turned into thousands of spears and attacked Philip. Philip held the Caelum Sword in his hand again, but unlike last time, the sword turned into several giant dragons under Philip’s manipulation. Immediately after, the chimera sword formation was activated. Philip dared not let his guard down in the slightest as his opponent was a nine-star heavenly general. With a long spear in his hand, the heavenly general suddenly jumped high into the sky and crashed down right at Philip like a meteor. Philip stood there fearlessly as his body began to change. The Caelum Sword operated within the chimera sword formation without Philip's control. At this time, Philip had transformed into a human-shaped chimera, and flames soared into the sky. Everyone was stunn
Although the heavenly general of the ancient Heavenly Court left with his people, Philip knew that based on the current attitude of the ancient Heavenly Court toward him, it would not be so easy for him to escape. Besides, who was that person they were talking about? Philip pondered as he regained his strength. At this time, all the participants of the Heroes Conference looked at Philip a little differently. Not to mention that Philip's eight-star strength had surpassed most people, just fighting someone stronger than him was enough to surprise everyone. The heavenly general of the ancient Heavenly Court was a nine-star powerhouse. Although the fight was interrupted with Fantasia’s help, everyone could see that Philip’s combat power had rendered the heavenly general at a disadvantage. From this point alone, no one would dare to fight Philip even when the third round started. However, at this moment, the party that had remained silent until now finally made a move. They
“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
