The professor's figure flickered suddenly, and small heads grew out of his eight tentacles one after another. The heads were of different shapes and colors, but each head carried a powerful elemental aura. “Philip Clarke, I didn't intend to use this method against you, but you forced me to!” the professor said coldly. As he was speaking, a small head on his tentacle opened its mouth, and all the water elements in the water prison started forming small ice crystals. Before Philip could move, another head sprang into action. It was a skull, and amid the white bones, the deep sockets of its eyes emitted faint blue light. It also opened its mouth, but unlike the earlier ice element, gusts of wind in the faint blue light shattered the ice crystals formed by the water element. The water prison also ceased to exist. Philip suddenly discovered that one of the heads was actually wrapped by a powerful fire element. Philip’s eyes flickered at this sight. A level 6S fire elemen
Seeing this scene, no matter how much the merfolk could not bear it or did not want Philip to lose to the professor, they were powerless to put up a fight. They were simply too weak. “Go to hell, Philip Clarke!” the professor roared. The eight heads launched their most powerful attacks one after another. Various attacks assaulted Philip. This seemingly calm underwater world trembled under the professor's attack. The attacks were so powerful that whirlpools formed one after another. Following the traction, the whole underwater world shook. The sediment at the bottom overturned, and the ancient ruins quaked. It seemed everything would be destroyed in the next second. When the attacks were three feet away from Philip, it seemed as if everything stopped without a sound. Philip still had his eyes closed at this moment. His whole body was shrouded in a layer of green light. It was the essence of the source of life. Due to this life essence, the elemental attacks los
“This is unfair. I won’t accept this! Why?” “To gain more power, I endured humiliation and suffered so much!” Hearing the professor’s words, Philip said, “If others are better than you, it can only mean that they paid a higher price.” As Philip spoke, the green threads of life essence wrapped around the professor. The professor's body was cut to pieces by the green threads of life essence. Seeing this scene, the professor had already given up. He knew that he had no chance, and his body returned to normal size. However, his face was full of indignity. “Others paid a higher price? For the merfolk, I turned myself into this monster today, but I never saw the slightest hint of ambition from them. Is that my fault too?” At the professor’s question, Philip said, “Of course, it’s your fault. The merfolk never shared your ambition from the beginning.” After saying this, Philip tied the professor with the green silk threads. In a few seconds, the professor was gone. Aft
Philip glanced at it and found this scene to be somewhat familiar. In his memory, this flower was said to grow in the netherworld. Looking at the blooming flower, all the spirits said with satisfaction, “Finally, we’ve fulfilled the wish of the mighty being and planted a red spider lily in the ancient ruins.” That mighty being’s wish? Philip's eyes lit up. “That mighty being you’re talking about…” However, before Philip could finish asking, all the spirits entered the flower and disappeared before Philip's eyes. Philip sighed. If he had asked the question when he saw the red spider lily, he would have gotten the answer by now. He was too late. For a red spider lily to bloom here, it meant that the person who left the ancient ruins behind had a close relationship with the world he came from. Philip sighed again. This result was good enough. Although he did not get the answer he wanted, since the ancient ruins were related to his original world, he could definitely
Did that female mighty being sit on this throne before? Who served her at that time? Philip was very curious about this, which was also a form of commemoration. He walked to the throne with low spirits and sat on it. At this moment, there was a rattling sound on the throne, and something like a communicator appeared on Philip's right hand. Philip was startled before he lightly touched the switch on it with his finger. A virtual screen was projected in front of Philip. The locations of various areas of the ancient ruins appeared on the screen. The functions of each area were clearly marked. In fact, this place was more like an ancient city. However, unlike the floating city, the ancient ruins were shrouded in a huge magic circle. In the outermost area, in addition to various small magic circles, there were also various thermal weapons developed through a combination of modern technology and elemental practice methods. For example, there were energy cannons, earth
The merfolk outside noticed the strange movements in the ancient ruins and immediately stood on guard. “Don’t worry, I did that.” Looking at these merpeople, Philip said with a smile. Hearing that, the merpeople were relieved. They were already at the end of their rope and could no longer bear any changes. Philip led them to the living area. Although unlike the merfolk kingdom where they could swim freely in the water, every room in the living area could improve their bodies to a certain extent. The living area did not require energy to operate. As long as those robots were working again, the living area could be used. Philip found a room, and he said to the other merpeople, “All of you can choose a room and have a rest first. There’ll be work for you later.” In fact, Philip was very tired by now. The previous battles with the professor took a lot from him. Plus the energy he used to activate the automated repair robot area, Philip was simply exhausted. Therefor
Philip took a lot of effort to calm down the princess. Upon his firm request, the princess agreed to stay next door to Philip. Philip finally found time to rest quietly. After the princess left, Philip almost passed out on the bed instantly. He did not even think of doing anything with the princess. After all, he was a married man, so he had no feelings for the princess. To be precise, he did not have romantic feelings for her. Philip fell asleep just like that. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next day. Sleep was undoubtedly the best way for human beings to recover. Philip finally felt that his energy was full again. To his surprise, the system of the ruined city issued an alarm at this time. “System warning, if the driving energy can’t be found within 24 hours, the ruined city will fall into a deep sleep again.” When Philip re-entered the hall and sat on the throne, he heard this system prompt. Philip frowned. It was not that easy for him to o
Seeing this scene, Philip narrowed his eyes and smiled. He had to admit that the things left behind by the mighty being were exquisite. Even the core of the city could be turned into a ring so easily. However, the magic circles carved on it were splendid, indeed. This was the core that could drive a city. Now that all the technology was concentrated on this small ring, how could he not be surprised? When Philip returned from the core area, he saw the princess looking at him pitifully. “I'm sorry. I was busy just now and forgot about you.” Philip said apologetically to the princess while scratching his head. However, the other party seemed unperturbed. She shook her head with a smile and handed him something while saying, “You haven't eaten, so I brought you some food.” The princess had completely lost the appearance of a mermaid and looked almost human now. Philip took the food and said to her, “I need to go out. You and the people of the merfolk kingdom can rest and re
“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
