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. “I thought I was smart enough, but I fell into your trap in the end.” 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, “It'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, “Human, you shouldn’t have come to this underwater world.” “That’s right. If not for you, the professor wouldn't have left, and our liquid energy wouldn't have been completely destroyed just like that.” The apprehension and anger among the merfolk toward Philip grew stronger and stronger. Hearing the merfolk’s comments, Philip wanted to leave, but the princess of the merfolk kingdom stepped forward at this time and said, “Do you know what you’re talking about? Are you really willing to be controlled by the professor?” 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. “Princess, do you think that you
“Princess, you should realize that your father is under control now. Maybe the professor is hiding in the dark and watching us right now.” Philip’s 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. “This human is up to no good. Let’s kill him and save the old king!” 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 Philip’s surprise, the green essence of life penetrated the old king’s 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 Philip’s stomach seemed to have found its home. It promptly entered the merman’s heart. The old king said with a smile, “The professor wanted to make use of me because of this heart. Now that I’ve given it to you, I hope you won’t let me down. “Also, in the ancient ruins are the things left behind by the mighty being…” 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
The princess seemed to be a different person. She was firm and resolute and carried the bearing of someone superior. It was poles apart from her previous cowardice and indecisiveness. Seeing her change, Philip smiled. He knew that the princess had grown up. Suddenly, the underwater vibration increased. Something seemed to be approaching the merfolk kingdom. Philip noticed it and said, “There’s no time to lose. Anyone who wants to enter the ancient ruins can follow me.” The princess also felt the underwater vibration, and her expression changed. “That damn professor is retaliating so quickly.” Philip sneered and said, “Based on his character, he must have planned for something to attack us.” After saying this, Philip walked in the direction of the ancient ruins. None of the merfolk left, and everyone followed closely behind Philip. As for the princess, she deliberately took the last spot. Everyone knew that the last spot would be the most dangerous because if the
A beast tamer was actually a unique profession on this continent. They could control various exotic beasts and make them fight for them, and they could also use the power of the beasts. However, this skill was lost in this continent for a long time, and most of them lived in seclusion and no longer got involved in mundane affairs. Instead, they chose to live with the animals. Looking at the coffin in front of him, Philip knew that a beast tamer had died in the ancient ruins, and the merman just now must have touched the magic circle on top and got swallowed by the coffin. Philip was about to open the coffin to rescue the merman when he heard a strange noise in the coffin. It was as if something was trying to break out, and the patterns carved on the coffin seemed to come alive at this time. Philip frowned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. No one knew what the beast tamer had left in the coffin, so they could not take the risk no matter how mu
Since his energy was no longer being drained, Philip relaxed. It seemed that the flying snake had discovered something that could strengthen it, so it appeared. As those patterns disappeared, the wobbly coffin finally quieted down. Philip used his Caelum Sword to pry open the coffin lid but found nothing inside. Not to mention the merman who was swallowed just now, there was not even a sign of a skeleton. Zagu walked over. He looked at the coffin and said to Philip, “This coffin is very strange. Why don’t you let me break it apart?” Philip shook his head. “No way. Aren't you afraid of hurting your fellow merman? “Let’s chain it up and take the coffin with us.” After saying that, Philip left. Zagu fetched an iron chain and tied the coffin in exasperation. Although he was very touched when Philip said he wanted to save his fellow merman, pulling a coffin along for no apparent reason, apart from being inconvenient, would cause a great commotion. Philip wanted to keep t
As his rules of insight spread out, it was blocked when it reached the white marble floor. Instead of disappointment, Philip felt a surge of joy. Since the white marble had such an effect, it meant that the real hall was under the marble. Philip unleashed his earth element to its limit. With his actions, the real hall under the white marble revealed its true face. Finally, Philip saw the whole hall that seemed carved out of a whole block of white marble. Philip searched all over but could not find the entrance to this hall. At this moment, a voice came from behind him, “Trespassing on the ancient ruins, don't you know that this is our territory?” Philip turned around and realized that a group of people was standing behind him at some point. To be precise, they were much smaller than real humans, and the leader held a scepter in his hand. It was an old man with gray hair. Philip was startled. He never thought that such a strange human being still existed in the ancie
The diners were surprised at this scene. As frequent customers, they had never seen the owner appear in person, let alone greet someone. The owner actually took the initiative to walk out today. “Sir, you don’t have to wait any longer. Please take a seat in the private room reserved for you.” The snake woman smiled brightly, obviously very interested in Philip. All the male diners were jealous and wished they had the same opportunity. However, she was here for Philip and ignored everyone else. She did not even spare anyone a glance as she walked away. Although everyone was jealous, they knew that Philip was a capable person. The woman approached Philip probably because of his extraordinary talent, so there was nothing they could do about their jealousy. They had taken part in the competition as well and knew how strong Philip's people were. Just one kid alone took the Wagner family down.Some people felt indignant and wanted to mess with Philip. At this time, a kid walked
Ronan gave Philip a thumbs-up as everyone returned to their meals. His words really carried some weight to command these people with just a casual remark. Philip was unfazed by the compliment. He was staring at a person. To be precise, he was looking at a curtain where a woman behind the curtain was staring at Philip too. She was the owner of this diner, and she was not a human but of a humanoid race. She had the upper body of a human, which was very beautiful and attractive. Anyone would be attracted by her beauty with just one glance. However, she had the lower body of a snake. The diners would turn their heads from time to time and look at the curtain as if trying to catch a glimpse of that woman. A gust of wind would ruffle the curtain from time to time, allowing everyone to see the woman’s face and marvel at her beauty from the bottom of their hearts. Philip sneered at their reaction. They were really stupid for not realizing that she was half-human with a snake’s tail.
Ferocity flashed in Cameron’s eyes. If Ronan refused, things would be difficult. Cameron would never allow such a strong enemy who had a grudge against the family to stay alive. Anyone who posed a threat to the family would arouse his killing intent. Other family members gathered around and expressed their dissatisfaction with Ronan. “Who does he think he is? Is it beneath him to have lunch with us? He really thinks he's a big shot!” “Does he think we’re unworthy to eat with him? How ridiculous!” Everyone complained and thought Ronan was an arrogant person. Ronan was not bothered about their opinions of him at all. He wished they could treat him as their enemy. “Your performance was quite good. The deep-sea merfolk are probably furious by now,” Philip said with a smile. Ronan's performance was indeed outstanding, and his extraordinary actions humiliated the other party. “They must've decided to mess with you during the finals, but I ruined their plan. I’m sure they’ll
Tangy nodded. He would never show any sign of weakness. Tangy knew that Nolly wanted him to continue the battle against Philip. It was also one of his dreams, so he would never give up so easily. “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll never let Philip leave this place alive. Since we can’t defeat him openly, let’s settle it in private. I believe he’ll fall into our hands eventually,” Tangy said viciously. He thought of a plan to deal with Philip. “But you need to take care of the kid under Philip’s command. He’s so strong that I think he has awakened his latent ability. I don’t think I’m a match for him.” After careful observation, Tangy determined that the kid had awakened his latent ability. Nolly nodded in agreement. It would be embarrassing if they failed to seek revenge. More importantly, they made such a big fuss yesterday and even vowed to deal with Philip. This situation was embarrassing enough already. “Let’s do this…” They discussed privately and quickly decided o
“That kid is amazing. He must be the descendant of a powerful being!” “You’re right. There’s no way a normal kid can reach that level. I can’t believe that Philip is capable enough to get someone so powerful to work for him!” The deep-sea merfolk were deep in a discussion. They thought Philip was simply lucky, not powerful. “If it weren't for his good luck, he probably wouldn't even make it through the preliminary round!” Before long, the deep-sea merfolk focused on their own battle because they found Tangy retreating repeatedly. Everyone knew how strong Tangy was. As the strongest fighter among them, he could at least fight Ronan to a draw. He could easily crush the losers from other families in a matter of minutes. Despite that, Tangy was unable to handle Ronan, which was simply unbelievable. “What's going on? Is Tangy going to lose?” Nolly was flustered. If Tangy lost, their plan to deal with Philip would be ruined. They planned to get rid of Philip during the fight.
Members of the Wagner family nodded vigorously, and even those who were not participating in the competition were excited. Everyone knew that they had to win, whether for the family or their personal honor. The young man taking part in the competition laughed smugly. As a grown man, how could he lose to a child? It would be too embarrassing if he lost! Defeat never crossed his mind, so he immediately sprang into action when the alarm rang. He launched a fierce attack without further ado, trying to end the fight quickly and show the child his powerful strength. However, when he charged at his opponent at full speed, the child was gone! The kid was nowhere to be found as if he had vanished into thin air. “You’re too slow.” A delicate voice sounded from behind him, and the child appeared in front of him. The guy was sent flying out of the battlefield with a kick before he realized what was going on. According to the rules, the fight would be over once one party died or was sent
Ronan quickly picked his opponent. He was surprised and wondered if Lady Luck was smiling at him or if the draw was rigged, but he actually picked the deep-sea merfolk right away. Although he wanted to teach them a lesson, he had to carry on with the act too. “Haha, this took no effort at all. Our opponent is Ronan!"Although Ronan is strong, we’re fully prepared this time. No matter how powerful he is, he’ll never escape our clutches!” The deep-sea merfolk sounded very confident, smiling brazenly as if certain of their victory. They had sent their strongest fighter this time. They had planned to reserve this person to deal with Philip, but they faced Ronan instead. Their contestants were not fixed in advance. Under unforeseen circumstances, they could choose a substitute. Therefore, they decided to assign this strongest fighter to face Ronan and Philip. This person’s name was Tangy. Tangy knew that he had to face two opponents, but he was not nervous at all. He hoped that h
“That’s enough. You may leave.” Ronan turned around and returned to Philip's side, unwilling to exchange more fake pleasantries with Cameron any longer. In his opinion, such empty talk was meaningless, and he did not want to say another word to that person. Philip smiled at Ronan’s indifference. “If you want to deal with the deep-sea merfolk, you need to make sure you don’t lose. Acting must be done wholeheartedly. Don’t let anyone realize that you’re acting,” Philip said to Ronan earnestly. Rabbit nodded vigorously. No one was better than him in acting. Ronan suddenly felt a little pressure. “Oh no, the pesky flies are here again.” Ronan frowned unhappily as the patriarchs of the families approached them. “I’m sure they're here for our wine!” Ronan did not want to sell the wine to them. Not to mention how much the wine had improved his strength, Ronan was a drinker himself. He would be left with nothing if they bought all his wine. “Ronan, we’re here again!” “You s
“Ronan, I know you’re unhappy with me, but the family is depending on you!” Cameron had to bite the bullet because he could not think of anyone but Ronan who could win the first prize. “Since I promised you, I’ll take part in the competition,” Ronan said calmly. However, Cameron could not help but feel something strange in his words. Ronan had come up with a plan after a discussion with Philip last night. Ronan was not in favor of helping Cameron because their relationship was so bad that it was not necessary for them to work together anymore. However, Philip had a different opinion. He was certain that the Claude family would put all hopes on Ronan, so he wanted Ronan to set them up. Ronan was not concerned about his reputation because he was not a hypocritical and superficial person. Hence, losing the competition meant nothing to Ronan. In that case, Philip did not want to miss this opportunity. Ronan would take part in the competition as agreed and try his best but witho
