Holy Polo's expression became extremely complicated. However, Philip's eyes lit up. He knew who Holy Polo was talking about—his mother! Philip was very happy with his mother’s achievement. Holy Polo glanced at Philip thoughtfully and said, “The god position is to take the position of god. “Jonas should have submitted to you, and you should also be aware of his abilities. 100,000 years ago, there was a holy being who specialized in predictions. He used this skill to search for the god position. “The result of the prediction showed that 100,000 years later, a god will appear, and the person who obtains this position will conquer the world and enter the upper realm. “After the prophecy ended, he vomited blood and died. The god position is the biggest secret of this world. Since he revealed this secret, the world punished him.” At this point, Philip almost understood everything. It was probably after the holy being figured out the existence of the god position that those tale
Holy Polo nodded, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. Although Philip was extremely talented, his level was quite low. In his opinion, one needed to at least be at the pseudo holy tier to compete for the position. After all, the unsealed talents were, at the very least, in the middle stage of nine stars. Combined with the means, opportunities, and resources they left behind, they were likely to reach the pseudo holy tier very soon. Just like Cora Klein, whom his grandson had mentioned to him. Holy Polo was very sure Cora had other means! Otherwise, she would not have sealed herself at that time. “I shall take my leave.” Philip bowed to Holy Polo respectfully. Holy Polo nodded and allowed Philip to leave with a look of regret on his face. “It’s a pity. Time is running out for this little guy. Alas, I can only help him as much as I can.” Thinking of this, Holy Polo turned and left the tavern, walking back to his residence. … The meeting hall of the white
The white tigers walked out one after another, while Patriarch Oslo tried his best to suppress his anger. He closed his eyes for a moment to compose himself and opened them again. “We must avenge Molly and Kurt. I want you guys to give me some suggestions.” Everyone was dumbfounded. What suggestions? Holy Polo had accepted Philip as an apprentice, so those at the pseudo holy tier could not make a move. They had some powerful sealed talents in the family, but no one knew Philip’s exact whereabouts. Things were at a stalemate right now. At this time, someone slowly walked in from the door. It was a man in a black robe. The sight of him formed a strong contrast with the many white robes in the hall. Everyone frowned when they saw the man. Patriarch Oslo raised his eyebrow and said, “Jay, what are you doing here?” Jay looked up with a hint of disdain in his eyes. “I want to see if you bunch of idiots have any brains left!” Jay's tone was not polite at all, and he scol
Jay glanced at Patriarch Oslo, and his voice was as cold as ice as he said, “Are you sure you want to attack me?” Patriarch Oslo’s breathing stuttered. His energy still surged, but his attitude of wanting to rage in anger disappeared. Seeing this scene, Jay turned and left with disdain in his eyes. In the meeting hall, no one dared to speak. … Outside Cirrus City, dozens of figures stood there, with Holy Polo and Philip among them. Holy Polo looked at Philip with a smile on his face. “What do you think special art is?” Philip was taken aback by this question. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Special art is nothing more than a technique, an improved move. A spell can trigger the support of elements, but special art can trigger laws, path orders, and even great paths.” Holy Polo was surprised by Philip’s words and nodded in approval. “Not bad. You've comprehended the essence of special art. “Special art is the power to induce the laws of the world. If I’m not
Three months flew by in the blink of an eye. During this time, apart from practicing the three special arts, Philip constantly improved his level, but it was difficult at the current stage. It took him three months before he increased his level from the middle stage of nine stars to the point where he was just about to breach the late stage of nine stars, which he required an opportunity to do so. When Philip was practicing one day, he heard a knock on the door. He opened his eyes and looked at the door. He unleashed his senses and found Jonas standing outside the door. He asked, “What’s up, Jonas?” Jonas replied, “Mayor, Regus is here, and he said an exotic fire will appear in Asteroid City soon. Since you practice the laws of fire, it's likely to be of great help to you, so he asked me to inform you.” Philip was startled before his eyes lit up. Exotic fire! He had one exotic fire with him, which was Frosty Fire. It was very powerful, but Philip did not use it often. “
“No, Teacher. I can't rely on you all the time, so I’ll handle this myself,” Philip said with a smile. Philip was a smart person. Although he did not like to put himself in danger, he knew that his potential and ability could only be unleashed to the greatest extent in those situations. If he relied on Holy Polo all the time, he would end up useless. Philip did not want this to happen, so he chose to reject Holy Polo. Holy Polo said in understanding, “Since you've made a decision, you may go, but I’ll be leaving too. If you have time in the future, you can bring Licht home to look for me. Let him go with you this time.” Philip hesitated when he heard this and said, “Teacher, the fight for this exotic fire may be extremely fierce. Licht may be in danger if he goes with me.” After all, Licht was Holy Polo’s apprentice. Philip had to take Licht into consideration. However, Holy Polo smiled and said, “It’s okay. That brat is too lazy for words. It’s good if he can experience
It must be admitted that the background of the nine royal families was extremely solid. Including the ancient Heavenly Court, the top ten positions on the two lists were all occupied by them. Even among the top 20, only four or five people were not members of the nine royal families, belonging to the ten major forces. The top 30 were in level nine of the pseudo holy tier! Philip's ranking in the nine-star level was at more than 300. If he was included in the overall list, he might even be at more than 700. Jonas and the others were even worse, ranking lower than Philip, which made Philip realize how many talents there were in this era. “This path is very difficult.” Philip exhaled slowly, and his eyes went dark as he glanced at the top 30 names on the pseudo holy list. These 30 people were level-nine pseudo holy beings. Based on the new categorization, each of these 30 people had mastered nine or more small path orders. “I'm looking forward to this now.” Philip chuckled a
The Page family was quite a big family in Asteroid City and even had a say within the upper echelons. When Philip found out about this, he looked at Jonas. Philip never realized that Jonas was a rich kid. The Page family occupied a huge land area, and the architectural style was quite classic. Two five-star guards stood at the door, which displayed the strength of the Page family. Philip could not help but look at Jonas curiously. “Jonas, you should have nothing to worry about growing up in such a family. Why did you leave in the first place?” Jonas was silent for a moment, nostalgia and helplessness in his eyes—as well as a hint of guilt. “It’s because of my practice.” Jonas sighed. “My family doesn’t allow me to practice Fortuna fortune telling. I insist on practicing it, so I had to leave the family.” Philip was startled and confused. Logically speaking, there was no reason to stop Jonas. Fortuna fortune telling was very mysterious. Why not pass on this technique? Phil
“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
