The black snake had the strength equivalent to nine stars but could not display it. Regardless whether it was man or beast, they could not display their strength once the energy of the world was isolated no matter how strong they were. Philip had known this long ago, so he came up with this method. Coincidentally, the black snake chose to form a water element barrier right from the start, which was tantamount to shooting himself in the foot. “I give up. What do you want to know? Ask away.” Finally, the black snake surrendered. He could no longer withstand the attacks of these water dragons. Philip smiled and dispersed the water prison. The black snake was covered in injuries. He slumped on the ground, half-dead and powerless. Philip squatted down, patted his head, and said, “This is how you should behave. “Does the professor often feed you with merfolk from the merfolk kingdom?” Lying on the floor, the black snake narrowed his eyes as the energy of the world gathe
Philip was sent flying. Seeing this scene, the black snake was also a little surprised, but more than anything, he was feeling smug. “I thought this human practitioner is very strong, but he’s just good at playing tricks.” The black snake gave chase along the cave. However, when he came out of the cave, he found no sign of Philip at all. Philip had rushed back to the merfolk kingdom as fast as possible! He secretly mobilized his energy and made himself throw up blood. He also used his energy to rip his clothes apart. The protective armor on his body was also shattered. However, this was because Philip deliberately used that armor to resist the black snake's attack. At this point, Philip’s physical defense was already higher than this armor, so it did not matter whether he wore this armor or not. This also happened to become one of his acting props. After rushing back to the merfolk kingdom, Philip discovered that the professor was not in the laboratory. As for
“Although you returned alive, you’re seriously injured. Your strength will recover if you drink this bottle of energy.” Hearing the professor’s words, the merfolk princess who was looking at Philip from the sidelines showed a look of reluctance. “Professor, I think he should drink it later.” Seeing the princess going up to him, the professor raised one of his tentacles and slammed it fiercely on the princess’ face. He glared at the princess and said, “Who are you to tell me what to do? Have you forgotten your position, you slave?” While he was talking, his eight tentacles coiled around the princess’ arms. “If you don't want to die, shut up.” After doing all this, the professor said to Philip, “I didn’t notice that you humans are quite charming, but what's the use?” He fiddled with the bottle of liquid energy in his hand before he bent down. “But in order to make my body more perfect, I'd better wait before turning you into the target of my experiment.” At this momen
After that, the princess told Philip exactly what happened to them. Back then, the professor was seriously injured. The people of the merfolk kingdom took pity on him and kindly took him in. After that, the professor had always shown a positive attitude. According to him, he once sneaked into the human world and had a certain understanding of the human world and knew of their sinister intentions. After that, he started to continuously develop technology for the merfolk kingdom. After he arrived, the merfolk kingdom was quite powerful for a while. However, good times did not last long. After the professor found out that he had a high status in the merfolk kingdom, he began to carry out various experiments to strengthen his body. He also provoked the surrounding underwater beasts in order to extract their genes to strengthen himself. In an accident, he discovered the secret of the merfolks’ hearts and turned his attention to the merfolk of the merfolk kingdom. Since the
On top of that, the water elements were very colorful. Obviously, a powerful toxin had been injected into the water elements. “You're too young to put on a show in front of me. But since you want to play with me, I’ll just play along.” After the professor said this, one of his tentacles stretched out, and a floodgate opened. A strong water current hit the water prison where Philip and the princess were. A gigantic figure came out from behind the gate. A hole appeared in the water elemental wall infused with powerful toxins, allowing the behemoth to walk in. Philip discovered that it was a modified shark. The modified shark had taken on a human form. Looking at the strong muscles on his body and the light shining in his eyes, Philip guessed that his level was at least eight stars. He quickly shielded the princess behind him. The gills of the humanoid shark kept flapping, and his crimson eyes had lost all appearance of sanity. “Human, are you very strong? Let’s see
When the professor saw this green glow, greed welled in his heart. However, Philip overheard his mumbles. “How dare you send these rotten fish and shrimp to deal with me?” Philip's voice spread through the waves. Red-white flames suddenly burst from Philip's body. The water prison seemed to be filled with flames. The underwater world seemed to be ignited. Even so, the underwater creatures controlled by the professor rushed toward Philip fearlessly. However, they could only fight by instinct, so they mostly used water elemental attacks and physical attacks. Despite that, the scorching temperature had already affected their judgment. Their water elemental attacks evaporated before reaching Philip. The professor was taken aback by this. He realized that the underwater creatures he controlled had started to become sluggish, especially the huge crab with a shell that shone with a metallic luster. Its shell had now turned red. It was clearly cooked by Philip’s flami
Philip stomped on the floor. The merfolk princess wrapped in green was already sent flying. That was because if she was too close to Philip, she would have been roasted by Philip's scorching flame. After ensuring the princess’ safety, Philip used the earth element to make a huge ball of earth around him. However, as they were underwater, the earth elements were the sediment at the bottom of the water, which turned their surroundings turbid. In the meantime, Philip fell to the sand. Under the cover of the sand, he moved under the shark man. With a sudden flash of red and white, the Caelum Sword emerged from the ground. Philip followed closely with the sword in hand, his whole body flashing crimson white. The shark man also reacted at this moment. He grabbed out with his arms, and a huge water elemental spear stabbed Philip with a huge underwater current. Philip was like a crimson white meteor. The extremely sharp Caelum Sword combined with the level 7S fire element mad
The professor moved rapidly, and the eight tentacles started to rotate like propellers. The powerful tentacles were constantly destroyed by the water dragons made by Philip but quickly regenerated again. Philip was waiting for a chance to kill the professor with one blow. After all, the princess told him that the professor had many merfolk hearts. If Philip could not control him and kill him, there would be endless trouble. Thinking of this, Philip pretended to be overwhelmed and kept retreating until he had entered the ancient ruins. The professor sneered at this sight. “Do you think I can't deal with you if you run there?” the professor said loudly. However, Philip had a plan. There were many magic circles in the ancient ruins that could be used. Philip wanted to use these magic circles to restrain the professor. The professor’s huge body clung to the buildings in the ancient ruin, and the mucus from his body sprayed on the buildings. Very soon, the buildings star
“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
