Philip frowned upon hearing those remarks. There was a certain flow to those unfounded accusations. Thinking of this, Philip shook his head and decided to ignore those people. However, Renault was not about to let it go. Renaultโs energy surged, suppressing thousands of people below. He said coldly, โAnyone who dares to say another word will be seen as betraying the royal family!โ Everyone looked at Renault in bafflement. Someone frowned and said, โRenault, are you sure you want to help him? If you do, many people below will rebel.โ Renault glanced at him and asked Portia, โPortia, why donโt you tell us? Did Philip use any despicable means against you?โ In the sky, Portia was approaching Lumi. She paused when she heard this. A trace of reluctance crossed her eyes, but she said, โHe didn't use any despicable means. I'm really not as good as Philip, but I think I can definitely catch up to him!โ Then, Portia looked at Lumi. She blinked her eyes and said with a sigh, โLumi
Three royal family imprintsโthe chimera, flying snake, and White Marsh. Portia was most amazed when she realized that Philip could wield all three to their fullest extent. Someone once tried to receive the imprints of two royal families, but apart from their own imprint, they could not wield the power of another family at all. Lumi fell silent again. Before Lumi asked another question, Portia said, โBesides, his chimera imprint has shown signs of atavistic occurrence. It turned into a lightning chimera and allowed him to control the path order of lightning! โThe White Marsh seal can enhance his strength too. Iโve spoken to him in the secret realm. Other than the laws of space, fire, ice, wind, and lightning, he also has the rules of earth and metal. โIf he finds the chance to comprehend the laws of wood, heโs very likely to practice the laws of the five elements. If that happens, Iโm afraid very few mighty beings can beat him at that time.โ It was no secret that Philip ha
Jay did not beat about the bush but continued, โThe current patriarch is simply useless. When my father was in power back then, everything in the family was well organized, and the white tiger royal family was ranked in the top four even among the nine royal families. โBut now, the white tiger royal family is extremely weak. Although we made some progress at the technical level, itโs not significant, and the trump cards are the same ones we had back then. โIn the past few days, Iโve also interacted with the patriarch, but in my opinion, he doesnโt seem very smart at all. He went to great lengths to deal with a small potato in the late stage of nine stars and even found it necessary to call everyone together just to come up with a plan. Is it really suitable for such a person to be in charge of the family?โ Jayโs face was cold, and several people around him nodded thoughtfully. They had dealt with the patriarch in the past few days too and found him weaker than the ones in their
Philip waved his hand and said nonchalantly, โItโs done.โ Portia had told him in the painting that she would persuade Lumi. If Lumi refused, she would suppress Lumi in her painting until Lumi agreed. By now, Philip had learned everything about the Hendrix Painting, so he trusted Portia. By catching her off guard, Lumi could hardly refuse. Nixon was dumbfounded and looked at Philip speechlessly. When he was about to speak, an ethereal voice rang from a distance, โPhilip.โ Everyone looked over and saw Lumi. Lumi looked at Philip coldly. โPhilip, you just had a big fight with Portia, so I wonโt take advantage of the situation. If you can take one blow from me, Iโll admit defeat. What do you think?โ Philip was startled before he said with a smile, โThatโs fine. Go ahead.โ Philip seemed very relaxed. Lumi sighed. She knew from Philip's leisurely look that she had lost. If Philip did not have the confidence to defeat her, she would definitely have second thoughts. Cou
Lumi felt nervous at the sight of Philip laughing, but she said no more and simply looked at him. Philip's expression gradually changed from smiling to indifference. โLumi, you seem to have misunderstood the meaning of submission. If you can't submit to me unconditionally, why would I need you?โ Lumi tensed upon hearing this. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word. Everyone around looked at Lumi silently, but no one dared to intervene. Even Portia did not transmit her voice to Lumi anymore. She could not decide on Lumiโs behalf. Philip looked at Lumi indifferently. โYou have two choices now. One, forget everything, sign a contract with me, and obey me unconditionally from now on. Two, you die. โI wonโt allow a talent with great potential to go back and stand against me. Only a fool will do that.โ Hearing that, Lumi said without hesitation, โI submit!โ Philip's expression relaxed slightly. He glanced at her and said, โLetโs sign the contract, then.โ With t
Portia immediately understood Philip's meaning. She took two steps forward, raised her head slightly to look at Philip, and said calmly, โMayor, please take care of me from now on.โ Philip smiled and formed the contract again, similar to the earlier process. Then, he turned to Verdant and the others calmly. โOkay, can we have a chat now?โ Verdant was just about to speak when a figure in a golden robe ran over from a distance with a smile on his face, looking at Philip. โHello, Philip. Let me introduce myself. Iโm Renault, a revived sealed talent of the Beelzebub royal family. I was ordered to come to protect you, but judging from the current situation, you donโt seem to need me anymore. The Beelzebub royal family has underestimated you and your opponents.โ Renault's tone seemed a little enthusiastic, and Philip could not help raising his eyebrows in amusement. Renault was quite the sweet-talker. He had elevated Philipโs status in just a few sentences, and at the same time
Hearing this, Renault looked at Philip and said with a smile, โPhilip, the patriarch wants to speak to you.โ Philip was taken aback and frowned. Reinhart was about to step into the holy tier. Although Philip was famous now, he was not at the level where he could have a private conversation with Reinhart yet. It was interesting that Reinhart made this approach. After thinking about it, Philip nodded and took the communicator. โHello, Patriarch,โ Philip said calmly. A light voice came from the other end of the communicator, โIโll leave Renault in your good hands. In a few days, Iโll ask Regus to look for you too. I wonโt stop the resources that they should be getting. At the same time, I can also provide you with some resources or even some ancient ruins, but I have two requests.โ Philip could not help being surprised. Although Reinhart's tone was domineering, his proposal was beneficial to Philip. Thinking of this, Philip calmly replied, โPlease go ahead, Patriarch. โF
Verdant said, โI can sign a contract with you, and I can even find my own practice resources. I just want to ask you one question. When we confront the royal families, whose side will you take?โ After reaching nine stars, the desire for normal practice resources would reduce. Instead, they needed more things that could help them comprehend and control the power of the laws. Based on their personal abilities, it would not be very difficult to obtain some practice resources for their personal use. Philip smiled and said, โIsn't your main purpose to deal with the nine royal families? In that case, why do you need to ask this question?โ Philip had never taken the nine royal families seriously before. In his opinion, the nine royal families might be out of reach now, but one day, Philip would leave them to bite the dust. They were nothing more than a stepping stone for him. If the White Marsh and Beelzebub royal families deliberately stood against him, Philip would definitely atta
โPhilip'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,โ Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. โYes, 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.โ 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. โTake this or Iโm afraid youโll collapse soon.โ He could notice Alainโs condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. โForget it. I wonโt hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldnโt be in this miserable state if the rabbit werenโt 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 guildโs requirements. โOkay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and donโt let us down,โ 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. โWow, this is amazing!โ 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
โDonโt worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.โ The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. โSir, I think Iโm getting stronger!โ 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 anyoneโs imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. โI believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.โ 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. โFather, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that itโll 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? โAre you serious? It canโt be that simple.โ Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. โIf you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I donโt mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.โ The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. โIn that case, Iโll give it a try. Let me find someone.โ Alain did not fully trust the hooded manโs 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
โI wonโt be joining your guild, but I donโt mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that youโre quite strong, so you donโt need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I donโt think youโll face a problem.โ 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.โฆ 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. โHey, youโre finally here. I thought I wouldnโt see you again.โ Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
โFather, what happened to you? Donโt scare me!โ Hogster sat by Alainโs 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. โThis is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.โ Alain almost died in anger over his sonโs remark. โHogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. Youโll make a name for yourself if you do this.โ Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, โFather, although Iโm quite strong, you canโt 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. โYouโre quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, letโs hear them.โ 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. โWhy are you here?โ 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. โOf course, Iโm here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?โ 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. โHey, 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.โ The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alainโs flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. โI thought you wouldnโt consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.โ 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. โI donโt 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. โTell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If youโre here to help me, letโs have an open discussion.โ Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. โI 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 youโll win the championship, taking one of the top spots wonโt be a problem.โ The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this manโs 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. โThereโs no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?โ Alain knew that
