On top of that, the water elements were very colorful. Obviously, a powerful toxin had been injected into the water elements. โYou're too young to put on a show in front of me. But since you want to play with me, Iโll just play along.โ 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. โHuman, are you very strong? Letโs see
When the professor saw this green glow, greed welled in his heart. However, Philip overheard his mumbles. โHow dare you send these rotten fish and shrimp to deal with me?โ 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 Philipโs 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 princessโ 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. โDo you think I can't deal with you if you run there?โ 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 professorโs 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
The professor's complacent speed lost its advantage in an instant. Philip raised the Caelum Sword in his hand. The chimera sword formation appeared in this magic circle. However, as a measure of caution, Philip used the Sword of Heaven and Earth this time. Two huge swords appeared in the sky and on the ground, and the tremendous sword energy seemed to tear the light curtain of the magic circle into pieces. The infinite sword intent aroused a boundless chill in this space. Philip's energy also formed countless swords that hovered in the air above the light curtain. The professor finally realized that Philip was losing on purpose. That purpose was most probably for this scene. He wanted to kill the professor in this magic circle. โI thought I was smart enough, but I fell into your trap in the end.โ Seeing this scene, the professor naturally knew that if he did not find a way to escape, he would probably end up dying here. Philip smiled and said, โIt's not too late for
When Philip and the princess rushed back to the territory of the merfolk kingdom, they found that the sluggish merfolk had regained some clarity in their expressions. However, when some adult merfolk saw Philip, they said fiercely, โHuman, you shouldnโt have come to this underwater world.โ โThatโs right. If not for you, the professor wouldn't have left, and our liquid energy wouldn't have been completely destroyed just like that.โ The apprehension and anger among the merfolk toward Philip grew stronger and stronger. Hearing the merfolkโs comments, Philip wanted to leave, but the princess of the merfolk kingdom stepped forward at this time and said, โDo you know what youโre talking about? Are you really willing to be controlled by the professor?โ The princess of the merfolk kingdom said sternly. However, after being brainwashed by the professor, the merfolk did not hold the princess in high regard and even held some resentment against her. โPrincess, do you think that you
โPrincess, you should realize that your father is under control now. Maybe the professor is hiding in the dark and watching us right now.โ Philipโs meaning was very clear. He was asking the merfolk princess to take this opportunity to attack her father and kill him. However, looking at his familiar face, how could the princess do that? The other merfolk got ready to attack Philip. โThis human is up to no good. Letโs kill him and save the old king!โ Philip had no time to waste with the merfolk. Seeing that the princess refused to make a move, Philip roared. He unleashed all the water elements he controlled, and the green essence of life hit the old king. He discovered earlier that these creatures controlled by the professor seemed to have an aversion to the essence of life, so Philip chose to attack in this way. To Philipโs surprise, the green essence of life penetrated the old kingโs body through his mouth and nose. The old king's expression seemed to regain some clar
Philip was briefly startled before he felt a tremendous life force spreading through his body. The source of life that was in Philipโs stomach seemed to have found its home. It promptly entered the mermanโs heart. The old king said with a smile, โThe professor wanted to make use of me because of this heart. Now that Iโve given it to you, I hope you wonโt let me down. โAlso, in the ancient ruins are the things left behind by the mighty beingโฆโ As the old king spoke, his skin started turning gray. That was the harbinger of his death. Finally, he closed his eyes and floated up with the current. Seeing this scene, the princess could no longer bear it. All the other merfolk sobbed along with her. Philip sighed. It seemed that he had no other choice but to bring the merfolk kingdom back to its feet now, but the old king did not make things very clear before. What exactly existed in the ruins? Which mighty being was he referring to? Looking at the merfolk, Philip fel
โPhilip'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,โ Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. โYes, 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.โ 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. โTake this or Iโm afraid youโll collapse soon.โ He could notice Alainโs condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. โForget it. I wonโt hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldnโt be in this miserable state if the rabbit werenโt 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 guildโs requirements. โOkay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and donโt let us down,โ 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. โWow, this is amazing!โ 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
โDonโt worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.โ The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. โSir, I think Iโm getting stronger!โ 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 anyoneโs imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. โI believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.โ 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. โFather, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that itโll 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? โAre you serious? It canโt be that simple.โ Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. โIf you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I donโt mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.โ The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. โIn that case, Iโll give it a try. Let me find someone.โ Alain did not fully trust the hooded manโs 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
โI wonโt be joining your guild, but I donโt mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that youโre quite strong, so you donโt need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I donโt think youโll face a problem.โ 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.โฆ 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. โHey, youโre finally here. I thought I wouldnโt see you again.โ Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
โFather, what happened to you? Donโt scare me!โ Hogster sat by Alainโs 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. โThis is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.โ Alain almost died in anger over his sonโs remark. โHogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. Youโll make a name for yourself if you do this.โ Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, โFather, although Iโm quite strong, you canโt 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. โYouโre quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, letโs hear them.โ 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. โWhy are you here?โ 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. โOf course, Iโm here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?โ 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. โHey, 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.โ The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alainโs flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. โI thought you wouldnโt consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.โ 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. โI donโt 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. โTell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If youโre here to help me, letโs have an open discussion.โ Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. โI 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 youโll win the championship, taking one of the top spots wonโt be a problem.โ The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this manโs 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. โThereโs no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?โ Alain knew that
