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
Horton never dreamed that his legs would be frozen into icicles. “What the hell?” Horton tried to move his legs, but they were no longer under his control. The chill was spreading rapidly. His calves turned into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye. “What did you do to me?!” Horton exclaimed in horror. He never thought he would ever encounter this. According to his plan, he should be killing Philip next, but things took a shocking turn. Not only did he fail to crush Philip, but he was also frozen on the spot by the latter. “What level are you? You can’t be in the first zone! You must've concealed your strength right from the beginning!” Horton screamed in terror. He wanted to call for help, hoping that his uncle would save him. However, his uncle had not appeared yet, and the onlookers were unlikely to get involved in this matter. The two of them had applied for a death match, so they had to compete fairly and justly. No one could help. Anyone who interfered wo
Philip sneered. Sure enough, he had to cause trouble to attract attention. It would probably take him ages to find Mr. Hobart otherwise. The management quickly arrived. They were not very strong and were probably temporary placements. The academy’s security guards also hurried over, all experts in the fourth zone. Philip was surprised that the academy could recruit so many practitioners to work for them. He wondered what made the dean so amazing. Everyone arrived quickly and surrounded Philip. The most arrogant person among them was the security captain. He walked up to Philip with a disdainful smile. He was a powerful practitioner while these students were trash newbies. “Did you kill someone just now?” He was very arrogant and wanted to use Philip to spread his reputation. After all, he was very strong, but the academy merely gave him the position of security captain, which disrespected him. He could not accept being a security captain. He wanted a better po
Everyone knew that newcomers had a one-week safety period, but this incident happened on the second day of school! “That guy was so arrogant because he was a family member of the supervisor. Since he wanted to sign a death match, who am I to refuse?” Philip said uncannily. A hint of understanding flashed across everyone’s faces. They knew that the supervisor had a family member in Class 1, but no one thought he would mess around so soon. The supervisor who looked like a gnome arrived at the scene quickly. He looked at Philip in shocked disbelief. No one expected that a loser who had just started practicing could actually kill a genius. Moreover, Horton was in the second zone. How could he be killed so easily? “Damn it.” Before he could say anything, someone pulled up the surveillance records. Soon, everything came to light, and the gnome could not say another word. “After our verification, Philip is indeed innocent. I hereby declare that the death match is valid a
The management team wanted to gather everyone to make an important announcement. Resolving Philip's dispute was just something done out of convenience. After the management team left, Security Captain Johnson stood in front of Philip in a weird posture, which everyone found strange. “What’s wrong with the security captain?” “Who knows? I thought he was going to deal with Philip, but he's just standing there motionless. Is he frozen too?” “Can someone sneak an attack on Johnson? Just look at him. He's an expert in the fourth zone, while most of us are just in the first zone!” “Besides, even if we can kill someone beyond our level like Philip, it's impossible for the first zone to fight against the fourth zone!” Everyone muttered and walked past Johnson. Johnson heard everyone's discussion and wanted to call for help but could not move no matter what. For some reason, when he took action just now, he felt like he was trapped and rendered immobile. However, no one did
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
