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
The old man opened a portal and said, “Everyone who decides to participate in this last round of the Heroes Conference can enter this portal and face unprecedented opponents. “Once your final number reaches ten after eliminating the dead and injured, you’ll then compete with each other.” As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone walked into the portal. They wanted to use this short duration to figure out the situation inside the portal. However, in Philip's opinion, it was a meaningless struggle. Judging from the previous actions of the Heroes Conference, the result was the same whether they entered first or last. To Philip’s surprise, the diabolic cult and the other mysterious force moved in one go. No one was left behind, and everyone walked into the portal. This made Philip frown. With so many people entering, this final round would not be that easy to deal with. Before the people of the diabolic cult entered the portal, the leader said to Philip, “Philip C
The longer the two fought each other, the more Philip realized that the opponent’s strength seemed to increase over time. Philip even had to use 70% of his combat power before he could barely contain his opponent. At the same time, he also heard shouting around him. Obviously, other people were sharing the same experience. “Where is this place? Why are there more phantoms the more we kill?” Hearing the voices around him, Philip knew that it must be the result of the phantoms they killed. However, Philip could not see the others. This must be the use of the rules of space to separate them. During the fight just now, Philip tried to use the Caelum Sword to break the surrounding rules of space, but he realized that his mastery over the rules of space was not enough to do so. This also went to show that the person who laid down the rules of space was very clever. Even Philip could do nothing about it. The reason for this design was to increase the sense of crisis in a
However, no matter what, as long as Philip won, the Heroes Conference would guarantee Philip's safety. People started dying. They were no match for phantoms, or rather, no match for twice their strength. The old man said nothing about this because it was only the consciousness of these people that died. It could also be understood as a substitute that was conjured by the mind. “I'm not dead, I'm not dead!” The person who was just killed by his phantom looked at his body and hands in disbelief. It turned out that everything had been arranged long ago. When they entered the portal, it was just their consciousness. However, before this person could celebrate, the old man said, “You’ve been eliminated. You may leave now.” This was the Heroes Conference. Without ranking, one would not receive any rewards. However, this experience was enough for these people. As more people appeared and more sounds of exclamations rang, the illusion in the portal gradually disappeared.
“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
