Philip took the token from the butler and stroked it carefully. He could feel the energy radiating from the token. The word ‘Hobart’ on the token felt very oppressive. “Thank you very much.” Philip thanked the butler, put the token in his bag, and left. Philip planned to visit Arthur and reach an agreement with him. Since he asked Philip to look for him in Highford, Philip could hardly refuse. Clementine and Montel followed Philip excitedly. Since they learned the news, they had been longing to go to Highford. They were very curious about this Practitioner Academy, not that they wanted to attend it. For a powerful force to dare to establish a Practitioner Academy, were they using so many techniques and resources to groom talents for other forces? No one could figure out the purpose behind this academy. Some people even suspected that the academy was used to create practitioners in batches as horrible experimental subjects. After all, there was a lot of commotion abo
Obviously, Mr. Hobart was not there to study. Maybe he was going to be a teacher or a consultant. With Mr. Hobart's ability, it was ridiculous for him to be a student. “Let's sign up and sneak in.” Philip gave them some camouflage pills. They had to maintain their current disguise until they found Mr. Hobart. Since Kronos was searching for them everywhere, they could enjoy a moment of peace if they entered the Practitioner Academy. Philip also kept in touch with Wynn to make sure they were okay. As long as Kronos did not lay a finger on his family, they could resolve this slowly. If they dared to attack Wynn and the others, they would be dead! After Philip ended the call with Wynn, he led Clementine and Montel to the registration office. They changed their appearance to look like young teenagers. Most of the registrants were young people, and some even wanted to register their young toddlers. The three of them mingled in the crowd without a hitch. Very soon, the
The guide was puzzled at the relaxed state of Philip and the others. “Everyone in our class is out of breath. Why are you three so relaxed?” He could not figure out the deal with these three. They did not feel tired after hurrying for half an hour. Even an assistant like him felt a little out of breath! Clementine and Montel smiled. Compared to the speed imposed by Philip, this was nothing. When they went through the mountains, the speed was much faster, covering thousands of kilometers in a few hours. This proved the physical strength and energy level in their bodies. At first, Clementine found it difficult to keep up, but she gradually practiced with Philip. Under normal circumstances, she could easily outlast these little losers. Montel was smart enough to notice the other party’s suspicion and sighed. “Buddy, you have no idea how difficult it was for me to keep up just now. I just want to perform my best on my first day in the academy. I used every ounce of my ene
Everyone in Class 4 was in misery. Facing the insults from the others, they did not even have the strength to stand up, let alone fight back! Philip and the others slumped on the ground and ignored those clowns. They did not forget their purpose, and causing trouble was not on the agenda. Horton, the trouble-making leader of Class 1, felt upset at their indifference. Class 1 was not so aggressive at first. Everyone simply wanted to attend school in peace. Under Horton's instigation, they became very arrogant and agreed to work with Horton to find fault with Class 4. Horton led them to Philip. For some reason, he hated the looks of this guy. The guy in front of him was young and handsome, also a practitioner in the first zone, which made him very jealous. Horton was already in his 30s and had just entered the late stage of the second zone. In the past, he thought he was amazing. He entered the Practitioner Academy to lord over everyone. After he entered Class 1, howe
Philip shrugged at Horton’s meaningless rage. He did not care about the bald guy’s age. As Horton was about to teach Philip a lesson, all the teaching assistants returned to their positions. They asked everyone to return to their seats. No one dared to mess around and quickly did so. Philip and the others stood aside, unfazed. An old man appeared on the field, and he looked exactly like a short gnome. Many people wanted to laugh, but they knew that only a big shot would appear here, so it was better to respect him. “Dear students, I’m your supervisor. To help everyone get used to this academy as soon as possible, we have decided to adopt some common university standards, including the division of classes and the titles of teachers and officers, all of which you should be familiar with.” The gnome kept talking, and many people soon became sleepy. They were not interested in the common standards of other universities, but since the Practitioner Academy adopted that meth
The academy was still in the starting stage, so certain things were not in order. Philip was not concerned about the academy’s future development. He just wanted to find Mr. Hobart as soon as possible. “Young Patriarch, why don't we ask the supervisor later? Although he’s not very strong, his position still means something. We should get some clues by asking him.” Montel wanted to ask the supervisor, but Clementine stopped him. “Are you stupid? That gnome is obviously up to no good. Messing with him is asking for trouble.” Clementine disliked the gnome very much. He kept looking at the women while he was talking, and his gaze made them uncomfortable. “Can't you see that he looks a lot like Horton? They must be family. People like them can probably make your life worse than death,” Philip said with a smile. Everyone smiled thoughtfully. No wonder the gnome looked familiar. They realized it with Philip’s reminder. After the assembly, everyone returned to their assigned
The night passed quickly, and everyone gathered at the field early the next morning. Everyone looked at each other drowsily, obviously not fully awake yet. Even Class 1 was no exception. Most of them were office workers or students, and no one was used to getting up at five in the morning. As everyone kept yawning, Horton’s mind raced. They would be allocated to different classrooms today, and he wanted to take this opportunity to crush Philip. Horton approached Philip. He had a height of 1.6 meters but a courage that did not match. “You guys haven't withdrawn from school yet? But then again, you’re considered quite good in your class. As number one…” Before Horton could finish speaking, a punch hit his face. The punch was full of energy and sent Horton flying. Everyone was dumbfounded. Only Montel and Clementine smiled calmly. They knew about the plan and were not surprised at all. Instead, they felt that Philip did not hit hard enough. “That punch is too wea
Although they hated Horton, everyone knew that he was not to be trifled with. Many people also noticed the similarities between Horton and the supervisor. Maybe they were related. With that realization, fewer people were willing to get involved. Horton challenged Philip. He could not wait any longer. He wanted Philip dead at once! Of course, Philip would not refuse his request. Killing Horton was not a big deal to him. After the two applied for the death match, everyone voluntarily cleared a huge space for them. Montel and Clementine watched the excitement in the crowd and kept a lookout for Arthur Hobart. They had seen Arthur’s photo and knew what he looked like. Although he was old, they could never forget his energetic appearance. The fight between Philip and Horton was about to start. He stared at Horton amicably without any nervousness. Horton looked at Philip triumphantly with a hint of disdain. He had learned two martial arts skills from his uncle. Althou
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
