Neal’s words were quite arrogant. However, no one present could say anything, while those stronger than Neal could not be bothered with him. Everyone could see his practice level—the peak of eight stars! It was a level that most ordinary people might not reach by the age of 40. Although everyone here could be considered a talent, even talents were divided into different levels! After Neal killed the man, the surroundings fell silent, and Neal walked to the testing stone with satisfaction. Seeing this, a nine-star expert said, “Just hit the testing stone with your strongest attack and you can see your true strength.” Hearing this, Neal raised his eyebrow. The next moment, a long sword appeared in his hand. The sword hilt was white, and the whole sword was covered in cloud patterns. Obviously, this sword was close to being a holy weapon! Boom! Neal poured his energy into the sword and slashed the testing stone in front of him. An ordinary stone would definitely crac
“There’s more to this test than meets the eye.” Philip's eyes twinkled. He suddenly felt that the ancient Heavenly Court's plan might not be what he imagined. Otherwise, they would not use this testing stone to test these talents who were about to enter the ancient ruin! Meanwhile, in a small yard of Cirrus City’s mayor's residence, two amiable old men sat here. One old man seemed to notice the movement in the square, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. “The first rare talent has appeared. Have you collected his aura?” “I have, but do we really want to do this?” The other old man frowned with a hint of worry in his eyes. “This action may invoke many people’s resentment.” “Sully, we’re doing this to find the strongest talent. Why would others resent this?” The first old man chuckled. Sully fell silent upon hearing that, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish. … In the square, the test continued without stopping, but Regus was the only rare talent who appe
These two people were quite famous, and this was the respect given by the crowd to powerful people. This was still a world where strength was revered. Only the strong would be acknowledged by others! Soon, the two arrived in front of the testing stone. The man in the golden robe who had not spoken before smiled and said, “The two of you are talents who have made quite a name for yourselves recently. In that case, I’ll personally conduct the test for you and announce your results.” Hearing this, the two said, “Thank you, Celestial General.” Both of them knew the identity of the man in the golden robe, the celestial general of the ancient Heavenly Court, Cabot. His level had reached the peak of nine stars. He had once challenged a holy-tier being of the ancient Heavenly Court. However, the difference in strength was too large, and he was crushed by the opponent's finger, but he was highly praised by the holy-tier being later. He even said that if Cabot entered the holy tier,
Cesar had reached that level at the age of 35. If opportunity knocked on his door, reaching the holy tier would not be a problem at all! Next to him, Jonas looked at Cesar and said with a smile, “Cesar, you're stressing me out.” Cesar laughed and said, “Jonas, stop kidding me. You’ve been hiding your age all this while. I’m afraid it won’t be a secret for long. Hurry up with the test.” Everyone was taken aback by that remark. Hiding his age? Was Jonas not 50 years old as rumored? Even Cabot was startled and turned to look at Jonas. Jonas smiled but did not explain. He strolled leisurely to the testing stone, and energy covered his whole body as he walked. The next moment, he casually attacked the testing stone. The testing stone instantly turned bright red, and a more intense golden light appeared among the red. Two large digits emerged. “47!” Cabot looked at Jonas intently and exhaled slowly. “Jonas, you’re too good at hiding.” Jonas did not explain but simply
Time passed slowly. When the day's tests were over, there were a total of six talents! This was just within the territory of the Beelzebub royal family. The test was not over yet. Once everything was done, who knew how many talents would appear? Philip’s bad foreboding became stronger. He could not help but feel that the ancient Heavenly Court was up to no good, but he had no idea what it was. “Whatever, let’s just go with the flow. Tomorrow is the second day and also the last. Maybe more talents will appear tomorrow.” Philip frowned. “With so many talents around, I can’t possibly subdue everyone. They have their pride, after all. This is tricky.” Philip shook his head. He stopped dwelling over it and wandered around the city instead. Cirrus City looked quite different at night. At first, most of the practitioners went to the entertainment establishments for fun, but this had decreased now. Some smart people built a small village outside the city and ran some businesses
Although this village looked small, there were at least a hundred stalls, so at least tens of millions of star dollars would be traded here. Moreover, the opening duration of the ancient ruin would definitely not be short. At that time, many people would linger in the outside world, and they would definitely rent these booths. Taking that into consideration, this village could earn hundreds of millions of star dollars! The person who built this village was really a business genius. Moreover, this person was also capable of getting all those people to set up stalls in this village. Philip had to admit he could not achieve that. After thinking about it for a while, Philip put it behind him. It was someone else's business and had nothing to do with him. After that, Philip walked into one of the shops, and the shop owner said enthusiastically, “Welcome, young master. How may I help you? We run a clean business here, and every item is absolutely authentic!” Philip chuckled a
Hearing the big roc’s remark, Philip agreed without hesitation. However, this could not be done out in the open, so Philip walked out. After making Verge Tower slightly larger so that the big roc’s consciousness could be attached to his arm, he walked into that shop again. The boss looked up at Philip before lowering his eyes again. “Young Master, you came back after going out. Did something catch your interest? If so, please go ahead. The price is negotiable.” Philip smiled and said, “I thought I saw something familiar just now, and I remembered it after I went out, so I’m back again. “If I find it, I hope you can give me a better price.” Hearing that, the boss’ eyes lit up instantly. All businessmen were shrewd. This remark was not groundless. The boss even started smiling. He had made up his mind. No matter what Philip selected later, he would raise the price sky-high. He would definitely not suffer a loss. Philip knew that the other party might do things diffe
The boss froze upon hearing Regus’ remark. Although he did not know what bloodline Regus had, he had heard of his doings today. The boss immediately abandoned Philip and greeted Regus enthusiastically. “Master Regus, I don't know what you’re talking about, but all the items in my shop are here. Why don’t you have a look?” Seeing this scene, Philip looked at the boss in exasperation. He was waiting for the boss to name the item and raise the price. That way, he could take the treasure away, but this guy went to Regus instead! Philip had no choice but to say, “Boss, do you want to specify an item?” “No need. You can just pick one at random. I don't have time to talk to you right now,” the boss said impatiently. In his opinion, Regus was the big customer here. A talent like this must have a lot of money on him! Even if he did a small transaction, it would not be a loss, and he might even make a fortune! After all, Regus mentioned that it was something that made his blood
“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
Rabbit was sunbathing in the yard and had no idea what was going on. He had a feeling that someone was setting him up, but he was powerless to resist. “Rabbit.” Philip calmly summoned Rabbit with no indication of his thoughts. Rabbit approached hesitantly and stared at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “Since you know that the Hexa Guild has declared war on us, we can't just sit and wait for things to happen. We have to show them how powerful we are.” Rabbit quickly understood Philip’s meaning. He wanted Rabbit to fight. Rabbit sighed and agreed. After everything Philip had done for him, it was time for Rabbit to take the stage. Philip wanted Rabbit to deal with the other party and do it in a humiliating way to show them that they were beneath a rabbit. “Okay, I know what I should do. Just sit and watch.” Everyone in Petal City knew that Rabbit was Philip's pet, so his actions represented everything. All the guilds kept an eye on the situation as Rabbit w
Philip shrugged at Jamie’s words. “It's just a small matter. Whether you accept the challenge or not, it's not a big deal.” Every guild had to safeguard their dignity. They had to accept the challenge or they would be seen as cowards. Philip smiled. No matter what they decided, he had a bold idea. Jamie nodded thoughtfully at Philip’s words. After some deliberation, he said goodbye to Philip. He knew what he should do. Not long after Jamie left, the news that the Celestial Palace accepted the challenge spread. They adopted a tough stance, criticizing the actions of the Hexa Guild. All the major guilds knew what was going on, but they were surprised that the Celestial Palace was brave enough to make everything public, which was no different from exposing the other party’s crimes. The Hexa Guild finally revealed their true colors. The members were ashamed of being part of the Hexa Guild. The members of the Hexa Guild knew about Lincoln's stance and were worried, wondering
Alain would be doomed if Lincoln ignored him. “No way!” Alain panicked, horrified at this development. The whole guild might be at stake if Lincoln was unwilling to help him. “I've decided not to get involved in this case anymore. Deal with the mess you created yourself. Don’t expect my help.” Lincoln was very decisive about ignoring Alain. Hearing that, everyone was in despair. “Grandmaster, don’t do this to me!” Alain knew that he was doomed. He wanted to persuade Lincoln to help him, but it seemed hopeless. Lincoln waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to lay his eyes on Alain again. In his opinion, the biggest mistake was choosing such a person as the guild leader. It did not make sense for a guild to turn out this way. If Dennis had been in charge, everything would have been different. Left in the room, Hogster and Alain looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They had thought that Lincoln would solve the problem for them, so they just did whatever th
Alain rushed over to Lincoln to boast about his plan. He knew that Lincoln would be proud of him after hearing it. However, Alain got a slap on his face before he could even speak. He stared at Lincoln blankly, wondering what just happened. “Why did you hit me?” Alain felt embarrassed and sorry for himself. After all, Hogster and many other guild members were around. At his age, it was unacceptable to be slapped in public for no reason. The onlookers backed away in fear, avoiding eye contact with Lincoln. The murderous gaze in Lincoln’s eyes was terrifying. “Why did I hit you? Don't you know why?” Lincoln trembled in anger at Alain’s reaction. This guy had no idea what he did wrong. “I saw Philip just now.” Lincoln stared at Alain, trying to read his thoughts. However, Alain was startled and confused. “In that case, you should've seen how scared he was. That’s what he gets for offending our guild!” Alain was excited and smug at the thought of Philip being scared out of hi
Although everyone was confused, they knew that despite his arrogance, Rabbit would not accuse someone for no reason. “I went out for a walk just now, and everyone is talking about the Hexa Guild declaring war on the Celestial Palace and Philip!” Hearing that, Lincoln nearly passed out. Since everyone was talking about it, it had to be true. He never dreamed that something like this would happen right after he left. “Old man, you need to tell us what’s going on. How dare you pretend to be a nice person in front of my boss? You must be tired of living!” Rabbit was very angry at this hypocrite and wanted to yell at him. Lincoln grimaced and shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. “I'm really sorry. Let me get to the bottom of this. If everything is true, I owe you and the Celestial Palace an explanation!” After learning about the whole incident, Lincoln knew that the Hexa Guild was at fault for everything. He felt embarrassed by this. “Sure, I’ll wait for your
