Philip had heard of the insects, but this was his first time seeing one. Their huge wings were completely out of proportion to their petite bodies. Black Tiger City was really a hodgepodge where everything could be found. Such things could never be seen in the ancient dragon territory, especially so many monster races and insects. Philip was also shocked to see slave trading happening on the streets. Anyone with money had the final say in Black Tiger City. “My lord, buy me. I can serve you well.” At this time, Philip passed by a cat woman with a human body and face but with a tail and cat ears. “My lord, I’ll make sure you live in paradise every day.” This came from a fox woman. All of them were peerless beauties, but with two beautiful women beside him, no one had the chance to make a move. Kane and Haley pursed their lips and looked at the slaves with disdain, giving off the feeling of jealousy. Philip was numb to such things. This was a world where the fist ruled,
When the time was up, an auction platform rose in the center of the auction stage. A figure in red appeared. It was a middle-aged man. The simple clothes on him could hardly conceal his murderous aura. “I’m the mayor of Black Tiger City, Derek Stine. I’m sure everyone knows the rules of Black Tiger City, so I won't waste everyone's time.” His tone was very domineering. He was an expert at the peak of nine stars. If Philip fought against him, he would lose within ten moves. That shocking murderous aura was horrifying. Then, a young woman in a dress appeared and said, “I'm Linda, the auctioneer for this event. Without further ado, let’s start the auction for the first item.” A white jade key appeared in her hand, and she said softly, “One key to the ancient ruin of White Imperial City, starting at one million star dollars.” The auction item was displayed on the wall from a 360-degree angle, and the special energy contained in it could be seen in high-definition images. Ph
Philip did not make a single bid in the second round of the auction, which surprised many people. The auctioneer for the second round was a man, and the items auctioned were not very rare, but one of them aroused Philip's interest. It was an energy crystal containing the laws of flame. This thing was actually sold at a sky-high price of 50 million star dollars. Thinking of this, Philip was tempted. He had quite a few bones that contained the power of laws, which were all piled up in Verge Tower. Even if they were not as valuable as energy stones, they were not bad either. Philip said, “Haley, auction off some bones.” Haley nodded. When she appeared again, she said, “This auction house is too much. They actually charge a 15% handling fee.” Philip said with a smile, “It’s too bad they’re powerful enough to do so. Except for the ones for your own use, you may get rid of the rest.” Haley nodded. In fact, she had already selected some and sold the rest. In the past, Philip h
“Greetings, everyone, my name is Molly.” As soon as the woman said that, the auction house immediately burst into warm applause and cheers. “Miss Molly, you look more beautiful day by day.” “Wow, her level has reached the peak of nine stars too.” “Miss Molly, I’ve prepared potpourri for you.” For a moment, voices filled the hall, and many distinguished guests were her suitors. Philip was taken aback by this scene. He did not expect Molly to be so popular in Black Tiger City. “Hmph.” Next to him, Kane snorted coldly. In fact, all the women in the hall did not look very happy. Philip asked, “Who is that?” Kane said, “Molly Oslo. It’s rumored that she was adopted by the holy-tier powerhouse of the white tiger royal family when she was a child. She’s in her 30s now.” Hearing this, Philip understood. No wonder she had so many suitors. It seemed that there was more than met the eye. “Thank you for your support. We have ten items in the third round of auction today.
Roy recognized Philip's voice and said coldly, “35 million. Philip Clarke, how dare you pretend to be a member of the chimera royal family and appear in Black Tiger City?” After Roy said that, the auction house was in an uproar, and countless people exclaimed. “Who is this person who dares to pretend to be a member of the chimera royal family?” “Hey, Black Tiger City is really full of surprises. We can watch a good show now.” “I heard that Roy Shell is the mayor of Dragonvale City in the ancient dragon territory. He’s really a big shot.” Amid the exclamations, Philip sneered and said, “36 million. You couldn’t do anything to me in the ancient dragon territory, yet you dare to chase after me to the white tiger territory.” Philip’s words caused another wave of exclamations. They were surprised to hear that Philip was able to escape from the ancient dragon territory and Roy's hands. “40 million! That’s because I didn't make a move. As long as you dare to leave Black Tiger Ci
At this time, the big roc said, “Kiddo, this Coburg Seal is a good item. Get it if you can.” Philip asked, “What’s so special about it?” “I don't know, but it feels like a good thing to me. I kind of have an impression of it, but I can’t remember now.” Philip was exasperated. Even if he wanted to make a bid, he did not have so many energy stones now. The price of this thing was already 200 million energy stones now. What of it? At this moment, Haley said, “I just found out something about it. The Coburg Seal likely contains the secret to entering the holy tier.” Hearing this, Philip finally understood why these people were going crazy over it. Regardless of whether this information was true or not, it was enough for people to go mad over it. It was the secret to entering the holy tier. All the princes of the major royal families were eyeing it now. No one knew how many holy-tier powerhouses existed in the whole Starfall Continent, but each of the nine royal families h
Philip had heard of the coliseum. Private fights were not permitted in Black Tiger City, but if there was a conflict, the parties could go to the coliseum to resolve it. Not only could conflicts be resolved there but also matters of life and death. Moreover, there were all sorts of betting handicaps too. It was the most popular venue in Black Tiger City where various beasts, foreign races, and slaves gathered there. “Oh, I want to check out that place too,” Philip said. The young master smiled, and Philip added, “But what can you bring to the betting table?” The young master sneered and said, “What do you want?” Hearing that, Philip knew that this was a rich kid and said, “The Five Element Formation.” “Okay, I’ll make arrangements. I’ll see you at the coliseum in two hours. If you lose, tell me what Miss Molly said to you,” the young master said before he walked away. Of course, Philip would not believe this nonsense. There must be other reasons for this. However, it
How many creatures did Pendragon kill to exude such maleficent energy? As soon as Pendragon appeared on the stage, cheers filled the coliseum. “Kill him, kill him.” Pendragon roared and his energy surged. He turned into a ferocious dragon and pounced on Philip with a roar as energy fluctuations appeared around him. The coliseum shook under Pendragon's feet. Philip snorted coldly and energy surged in his hands. With every punch, the space began to fluctuate. Philip's fist shadow was covered with a layer of white flames. Boom! After the two attacks collided, there was a violent fluctuation, and an energy storm ravaged the coliseum. When Philip made contact, he felt a strange force that sent him flying. Pendragon attacked Philip relentlessly, and his huge body caused the space to vibrate. Philip stood up, and bursts of Frosty Flame appeared in his hand. The flames turned into a ball of energy and smashed toward Pendragon. The surrounding temperature plummeted the m
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
Philip nodded. That was his intention too. It would be best if Carlos did all the work for him. After getting Philip's consent, Carlos rushed out excitedly. He took the booklet to Jamie. Esther and Jamie were discussing the plan of operation. “You have to catch hold of Philip. I finally got you here. Don't let us down. It’s best if you can trick Philip into joining our guild!” Jamie persuaded Esther, hoping she could trick Philip into joining the guild. Esther sighed helplessly. She knew what she should do, but Philip was clearly not buying it. She was not as pretty as Celeste, and she had this curse on her, so she could not hold her head high at all. At this time, Carlos rushed over in a panic. “Why are you in such a hurry? You’re already a father, but you’re still so impulsive—just like a child who never grows up!” Jamie sighed helplessly at Carlos’ behavior. Carlos was like a brother who grew up with him, and the two of them had always had a good relationship. Carlos w
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
