Conlay nodded. He knew there was no time to lose. Since they had encountered the fire phoenix royal family's scout team, the main troop would not be too far away. The deaths of these men in khaki cloaks would only expose Philip and Conlay. A huge cloud of smoke billowed behind them. Conlay and Philip rushed to the desert oasis. Philip finally understood the meaning of the final sprint! If he was in peak condition, such a small distance would not be a problem for him at all. However, it was different now. He was exhausted from the continuous battles. Although he had absorbed Kirk’s energy, he had consumed all his strength during the fight against the men in khaki cloaks just now. After all, using his earth element against other earth element experts took a lot. Conlay was no better than Philip because his practice level was lower. Facing the danger just now, he had exploded with extremely strong combat power. He was almost at his limit too. The two ran to the des
Without standing on ceremony, Philip grabbed the beer in front of him and took a large mouthful. “Of course, I’m curious. “But I know that if you want to tell me certain things, you’ll naturally tell me, such as the totem on your body.” Philip suddenly pointed to Conlay's chest. There was a symbol of a fire phoenix on his chest. It proved that Conlay should be a member of the fire phoenix royal family, and his position should be quite important too. Among the many royal families, those with totems were related to the royal family by blood. Thus, the totem on Conlay represented his identity. Conlay laughed. “Okay, since that's the case, I'll tell you a little more about me.” After ordering more beer from the bartender, Conlay told Philip about his background. He was the prince of the fire phoenix royal family, but he was double-crossed by a traitor and got banished. Fortunately, a mighty being in this desert oasis took a fancy to him. He was accepted as an appren
Leopard could not be bothered about the burly man now. His hands trembled slightly. Likewise, Philip was very excited too. Although he did not know Leopard for very long, he was the first batch of people Philip met when he first arrived on the Starfall Continent. Philip wondered how Leopard arrived in the territory of the fire phoenix royal family, and it seemed that he had a deep connection with this desert oasis too. Conlay laughed at this scene. “This is such a wonderful coincidence! I didn't expect you and Leopard to be old acquaintances!” Conlay handed Leopard a mug of beer, and Leopard drank it in one gulp. He let out a long sigh of relief and told Philip what happened after Philip left. Philip’s departure made Emily and the others very sad for a long time. To find Philip’s whereabouts, Leopard came out alone to find Philip. After leaving the underground city, the ancient dragon royal family branded Leopard as a spy from other places. However, there was a re
When Leopard heard the name Blossoms Valley, his expression changed. “Boss, I know about Blossoms Valley. It’s undergoing a drastic change now.” Hearing that, Philip's eyes suddenly lit up as he said, “It seems that you know Blossoms Valley very well. Can you tell me where it is?” Leopard stood up and looked out the window at the desert oasis. “Boss, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but Blossoms Valley is in chaos now.” Philip frowned. He believed that Leopard was telling him the truth, but no matter how chaotic it was, he must rush to Blossoms Valley as soon as possible so that he could get the Multidew Herb. The opportunity to save his wife was right in front of him, so how could he let it slip away right under his nose? Although Philip did not speak, he looked at Leopard with firm determination. “Alright, let’s do this. You must be exhausted by now, so you should rest for three days. After that, I’ll take you to Blossoms Valley.” Philip nodded. He really nee
Philip woke up early the next morning. He did not stay in the room but went outside instead. In this floating city in the desert oasis, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the energy was much stronger than outside. After he woke up, Philip went out immediately. One night’s rest had restored Philip's strength and energy to a certain extent. Although he was not at his peak condition yet, he was doing much better than before. Feeling the energy around him, Philip continued to comprehend the mighty being’s heritage. He needed some time to digest certain things, so Philip was in no hurry. Besides, all his elements had reached level 6S. By this point, Philip also realized that the so-called level limit was actually relative. Once a person’s foundation was greatly improved, take for example Philip’s current level, he could easily crush a nine-star talent, but his current level was only at the peak of eight stars. That was because Philip's other elements were relatively powe
Philip could see, or rather, sense the aircraft in the sky, but that did not mean that Conlay could do the same. At this moment, the burly man barged in through the door. When he saw Conlay, he bowed and said, “Young Lord, the fire phoenix royal family seems to be up to something big. They’ve deployed many fighter aircraft in our direction!” Hearing that, Conlay glanced at Philip. If Philip had not reminded him just now, he would not have known in advance that the fire phoenix royal family had started to investigate the desert oasis. “Ferdinand, listen to my command!” Conlay’s demeanor suddenly changed. At this moment, he exuded an indescribable vibe. Hearing that, the burly man immediately knelt. Conlay continued, “Evacuate the citizens in the desert oasis and the floating city. From now on, standby for battle.” Philip finally found out that this burly man was called Ferdinand. Moreover, the air of superiority that Conlay just displayed was obviously not achieved o
Hearing the heavenly general’s words, Conlay was the first to feel upset. Of course, he knew why the heavenly general said that and what his purpose was. However, he despised such people who were good at misleading others the most. That was why he was reduced from being a prince of the fire phoenix royal family to only being in charge of this desert oasis. “No citizen of the desert oasis is a coward. If you want to harm our friend, we can only retaliate,” Conlay said loudly. He waved his hand, and the artillery and electromagnetic guns were launched at once. A huge roar sounded. Air currents surged wildly. It was Philip’s first time seeing a sky fortress launching an attack. This scene was overwhelming, and Philip was shocked. With just one round of attack, the carriage brought by the heavenly general was blown to pieces in an instant. The heavenly general did not expect Conlay to be so aggressive, attacking him at the first sign of conflict. He was a member of
After all, keeping Conlay alive right under their noses was a thorn in their sides to the fire phoenix royal family. Moreover, he controlled a territory within their territory. The fleet of the ancient Heavenly Court lined up in a row, and various artillery and electromagnetic guns attacked the desert oasis from all angles. Surprisingly, no matter how powerful their artillery was, they could not break through that thin layer of light. Philip was also puzzled and asked Conlay, “What shield is that? It’s so strong that even such a strong attack can’t break it!” Conlay was quite proud. He looked at Philip's look of surprise and said, “Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in the technological development of the desert oasis just for this day. “This shield can protect the desert oasis from all directions and also convert the energy from the attacks into protective energy.” Philip finally understood. That was why Conlay seemed so fearless! As long as the shield was activate
“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
