“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
The big roc smiled and said, “It’s not a thing but a formula.” “A formula? Of what?” Philip was taken aback and asked. The big roc laughed and said, “It’s to purify the bloodline, or rather, the method of purifying the bloodline. But you probably can’t practice it yet. This thing has been sealed by someone, which can't be undone unless you use the power of a holy tier.” Philip was stunned. According to the big roc, this formula was probably sealed by someone of the holy tier, or the requirements for opening it would not be so harsh. However, Philip was still a little curious and asked, “Big Roc, I’m of a human bloodline. Can my bloodline continue to improve? I thought humans have no bloodline.” In fact, Philip knew what his bloodline was, the Divine Wilderness Physique! He asked this question to find out some secrets from the big roc. The big roc shook its head and said gravely, “You’re wrong about that. The human race has a bloodline, and it’s far stronger than that of t
