The three smiling people in the middle slowly raised their heads. The person in the lead was Nixon! “We want to recruit you guys, of course,” Nixon said with a chuckle. Nixon clapped his hands, and many people suddenly appeared above the valleys on both sides. Everyone held weapons in their hands, but they seemed very calm. Corby was the one who gave Nixon the inspiration to use a fake treasure to lure these people into the valley while the combat division waited outside. The main purpose was to coerce or persuade them to join the combat division. The targets of Big Dipper Palace were very clear too. All of them were revived sealed talents! In the meantime, they also found some mighty beings of the older generation to join them, such as David’s teacher and Holy Polo! In just one month, they had recruited about a hundred revived talents! They also got hold of people of the older generation, all of them famous people. When the people surrounding the three saw this scene
Everyone calmed down, but their struggle was still apparent in their eyes. After a while, a man said, “In that case, I choose to join Big Dipper Palace.” With someone taking the lead, the rest followed suit. Nixon and the others killed a few who resisted. … “Philip, are you sure you want to do this?” In an aircraft, Licht looked at Philip next to him with a face full of reluctance and helplessness. Philip raised his eyebrows and said tauntingly, “What? Are you scared? You weren't like this when we were in the ancient ruin of the Beelzebub royal family. Didn’t you enjoy robbing others back then?” The corners of Licht’s mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, “That was then, not now. Besides, the people in the Beelzebub royal family's ancient ruin were either dead or killed. I knew that before I entered or I wouldn’t have dared to do it.” Philip rolled his eyes at Licht. He was just a coward. Philip was in the territory of the white tiger royal family now, and his purpose
The Starfall Continent was divided into nine territories excluding the underground level and sea area. The white tiger royal family territory was located in the east of the Starfall Continent, and it was divided into 18 states with numerous countries and forces in each state. At this time, Philip and Licht were in the state of Guan, the smallest state among the 18 states of the white tiger royal family territory. Even so, it was very prosperous with highly-advanced technology everywhere. Philip and Licht were in Trifecta City in the northern part of central Guan. The Starfall Continent was extremely vast, and the huge population base produced countless strong talents, but they chose to go to bigger cities. Thus, the strongest people in Trifecta City were only level one of the pseudo holy tier. This was the information Verdant provided to Philip. After Philip and Licht arrived in Trifecta City, they headed to the place mentioned by Verdant, which was the intel exchange point
The woman said respectfully, “I’m Lilac, the chief of Trifecta City's intel division. May I know your names?” The corners of Philip's mouth twitched as he glanced at Lilac. Not to mention the others, even Philip was shocked to find that the chief of intel was actually the receptionist! Licht was dumbfounded as he looked at Lilac in front of him. Seeing the expressions of the two, Lilac pursed her lips and said, “This is Chief Verdant’s order. He said all the managers of the intel division should either hide behind the scenes or appear on the frontline. I prefer the crowd, so I chose to stay on the frontline.” Philip sighed and said, “Verdant is a genius.” Philip had struck the jackpot by recruiting Verdant! Lilac said, “Chief Verdant has told me the purpose of your visit. Please come with me.” Philip nodded, and they walked into a small room on the side. Lilac tapped one of the bricks, and the wall in front of them rose soundlessly. A huge room with rows of shelves st
This newly emerged force caught Arlo's attention. The white tiger royal family territory was quite stable now, and it was not easy for any force to enter this place. Small forces were not that much of a problem, but anything that could be presented to Arlo must not be that simple. After all, Arlo's identity was not just the patriarch of the Hood family! “I think I need to discuss this with the higher authorities,” Arlo muttered under his breath. Meanwhile, two leisurely figures appeared outside the gates of the Hood family's residence. The Hood family's guards immediately stood at attention and asked, “Who’s there?” As soon as they said that, two powerful surges of energy blasted at them. Among the two guards, the stronger one was merely six stars, while Philip and Licht were both nine stars, so they killed the guards easily. “Is it really okay for us to act so arrogantly?” Licht rubbed his nose and glanced at Philip. Philip shrugged and said, “Why not? We’ve done
After seeing the scene, those people realized that someone was messing with the Hood family. They looked at Philip and Licht while smiling in disdain. “Two people at nine stars dare to mess with the Hood family. Do they really think the Hood family is a pushover?” “I think so too. Although the Hood family is declining with only one pseudo holy tier left, he’s not someone even a freak at the peak of nine stars dares to mess with.” “You got that right. The pseudo holy tier is completely different from ordinary nine-star practitioners. One has mastered the path order, while the other the laws. A path order can crush the laws at any time.” “Ignorance is bliss.” Various comments could be heard, but no one was optimistic about Philip and Licht. They were full of mockery instead. Philip shrugged at those comments and turned to Licht. Licht said calmly, “Philip, I can’t handle the pseudo holy tier, so I'll leave him to you. Let me take care of the rest!” With that said, Licht
Arlo fell from the sky and attacked Philip fiercely. A golden light fell like a shooting star with Arlo. The sharp vibe of metal split the sky. Cracks appeared in the surroundings and sent energy surging. Even Licht was affected as he attacked other members of the Hood family. Philip raised his eyebrows at this sight. It was his first time fighting a pseudo holy being. As the onlookers mentioned, the pseudo holy tier was completely different from nine stars. Anyone who comprehended a path order could be called a pseudo holy being. The laws could never be a match against a pseudo holy being. Some wise people among the pseudo holy tier could transform the path order into an energy field, which they would wield absolute control over. Everyone who entered their energy field would be weakened, which was one of the reasons why a nine-star practitioner found it difficult to fight against the pseudo holy tier. Philip closed his eyes and carefully sensed the power of the pat
The smiles on everyone’s faces grew bigger. Even Arlo seemed upset. He probably thought that a loser like Philip was not worthy for him to use a special art. Although it was just a small special art, Arlo still felt indignant about it. Meanwhile, Philip sighed and looked at Arlo. “I already told you that you only have one chance to attack me. Why didn't you cherish it?” Philip's eyes were full of regret. The stronger the special art, the stronger the elements and power contained in it. Although Philip could comprehend something from a small special art, it was not much. However, Philip was a man of his word. Since the other party had made his move, Philip would not give him another chance. The next moment, a purple imprint slowly appeared on Philip's forehead. It was a roaring chimera. After the imprint appeared, the lightning elements in the sky quickly gathered and formed a huge energy field around Philip. Lightning flashed in the energy field, but wisps of mist
“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
