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
Hearing that, Philip merely sneered. Although he did not know who this so-called Great Augur was, it was too naive for this person to think that he could catch him so easily. Suddenly, Philip’s aura exploded. That stranger was startled. “It seems that the Great Augur is right. He said that if I underestimated you, I would fall into your hands.” After he finished speaking, the crisscrossing water elements instantly formed a big net and shrouded Philip. Philip tried to use his sword energy to break through the net formed by the water elements, but for some unknown reason, the net was surprisingly tough. On top of that, the net was gradually getting tighter. At this time, the stranger finally said, “If you don't want to die under my hammer, you’d better behave. I still have to take your head to get the reward from the ancient Heavenly Court.” Hearing that, Philip finally realized the identity of the stranger. It seemed that the ancient Heavenly Court had not given up yet
Philip thrust the Caelum Sword into the ground and activated his earth element. His whole body practically merged with the soil on the ground. Philip did this because the opponent was using the water elements in the underwater world to assist him in combat. Thus, Philip used the earth element contained in the sand under his feet to assist him. At this moment, it was no longer a battle between Philip and the stranger but a contest between the earth element and the water element. The ripples of the water element centered on the pagoda, forming veins like spider webs one after another, continuously gathering the water elements in the underwater world. No matter how much the water element fluctuated, the sediment under the water remained motionless. The earth element was like a solid fortress under Philip's control. The earth element gathered together like a whole. Although this stranger also possessed many elemental talents like Philip, the difference between him and Phili
Just when the stranger thought that Philip was going to kill him, the red-white flames on Philip's body disappeared. Philip said softly, “Take your weapon and leave.” The stranger asked in surprise, “Aren't you going to kill me?” Seeing the expression on the stranger's face, Philip shook his head and walked to the cave. “You fought with me because you wanted to kill me, not because the weapon in your hand wanted to kill me.” A wave of admiration welled up in the stranger's heart. Although Philip did not make things very clear, the stranger knew Philip meant there was nothing wrong with him being a killing tool for others. “Aren't you afraid that I’ll go back and contact the people in our organization to go after you again?” The stranger looked at Philip's back and asked loudly. Philip just waved his hand without even saying a word. The stranger did not care if Philip could hear him or not. He shouted, “My name is Raven. From now on, killing you is my only goal in li
Seeing this scene, Philip released his rules of insight first. He wanted to see if there were any guardian beasts around him, and he watched the cave entrance warily. After all, he could not let his guard down yet. Who knew if Raven might return with a group of people to kill him? Philip adjusted his breathing rhythm and heart rate as much as possible. Combined with the power of the source of life, Philip seemed invisible in this cave. There was an explosion at the entrance of the cave. Philip watched as a figure was blasted in. The figure crashed into the energy mine, and when he saw the person clearly, Philip realized that it was Raven. Blood gushed from his mouth, and cracks appeared in the sledgehammer in his hand. Obviously, he was blasted into this cave after a tough fight. A battle god of the ancient Heavenly Court said smugly to Raven, “If you don't tell us where Philip Clarke is hiding, even if we kill you, the Great Augur won't say anything.” The battle go
Philip’s action was not obvious. The green life essence was like little snakes. They suddenly exploded after they swam above the energy mine. When the battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court looked back, they merely noticed that something was wrong with this energy mine. Raven naturally saw everything, but he did not say anything because he knew that Philip was doing this to save him. The roars of the beasts got closer and closer, almost arriving. They had been staying next to the underwater energy mine for a long time and had long regarded this place as their territory, so any commotion would definitely arouse their caution. The battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court looked solemn, but that did not mean they were afraid of these beasts. “Let me interrogate this kid first. As for the things that are coming over, I'll leave them to you.” The leading battle god of the ancient Heavenly Court said leisurely. He did not seem to take the guardian beasts of the energy min
The middle-aged man said that because Fenrir was defeated by his men back then. Fenrir's face darkened at the man’s words. After all, no one wanted to reveal their shame in front of everyone. As the saying went, one should not air one’s dirty laundry in public. However, this middle-aged man not only revealed his shortcomings but also his most humiliating moment. “The 28 zodiacs were said to be invincible back then, so I wonder why only the white tiger in the west is left now.” This was obviously Fenrir's retort against the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man did not take his words to heart at all. “I don’t need to tell you why we left, but are you here today just to provoke us?” The middle-aged man suddenly took a step forward and unleashed his aura. A strong gust of wind hit the battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court. Although he did not attack directly, it was obvious that the middle-aged man wanted to intimidate Fenrir. Philip moved quietly toward Raven. He
Philip’s movements were very nimble and subtle. Although Philip knew both parties would notice them the moment he rescued Raven, since they were fighting each other, no one could spare the time to deal with him now. That spurred Philip's confidence. After quietly moving to the entrance, Philip reappeared and pulled Raven before speeding up abruptly. As Raven was seriously injured, he could only allow Philip to take him away. However, he still said stubbornly, “Don’t think that I’ll be grateful to you and give up the idea of killing you just because you saved me once.” Philip smiled. He saved Raven simply because Raven did not reveal his whereabouts at the most critical moment. Philip flicked a smear of life essence on Raven. “I don't need you to be grateful to me. When you noticed my location, you didn’t tell the battle gods of the ancient Heavenly Court. We’re even.” Seeing that he was out of the range of the cave, Philip slowed down and moved underwater with Raven
“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
