The registration was over, so the other party could not be here to form a team with Philip. “Philip Clarke, hello,” he greeted Philip solemnly instead of eating. Philip nodded and responded politely, “How may I help you?” Philip was curious, but he was not worried that this man would do anything to him. The aloof man was surprised at Philip’s indifference, but he cut to the chase and said solemnly, “I know the supervisor is going to deal with you, so you'd better be careful. I think quite highly of you.” A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he handed a charm to Philip. “This thing will be useful to you. I believe it can save your life at a critical moment at the very least.” Then, he left with his food. Philip clutched the charm and looked at the person as he left, surprised that the other party would actually give him such a thing! All practitioners knew the importance of treasures such as charms and pills, which could save lives at critical moments. Those
Everyone was still wondering what happened when Philip vanished from the spot. The gnome also wondered what happened. He was just about to take care of Philip when all the food scraps landed on his head. He knew where the scraps came from. He saw a container designed to hold kitchen waste when he passed the door earlier. Philip could not produce so much kitchen waste by himself. He must have done this! He felt angry and surprised by Philip’s means. In such a short time, he managed to go to the door and toss the scraps all over his head. This proved that Philip was definitely not an ordinary practitioner, at least not in the early stage of the first zone like he appeared to be. The gnome scowled at this thought. Since Philip was so powerful, it would be more difficult to deal with him. However, Philip would join the training, so he believed that he could find an opportunity to deal with Philip in the secret realm. He just wanted to use Philip to establish his authori
“Aren’t you going to pack your things?” The class rep was curious when he saw Montel and Clementine standing motionless. Clementine waved her hand and said, “Bringing more things to increase the load can prove my strength better.” She looked delicate, but her words were staggering. The class rep did not respond. He was sure they would realize their mistake later. They would only feel the unwanted burden when they were exhausted from traveling. At that time, they could only throw away the things they went to great lengths to buy. Wasting was not a good thing, at least that was what he thought. Philip looked at the things Clementine prepared and thought that everything was quite complete. In fact, he had bought a lot of daily necessities that were stored in Verge Tower for the Larson family’s usage. Thus, the things he asked them to buy were actually just for cover. He could not make it public for the time being, so he said nothing. Verge Tower should be kept a secr
Everyone sat on the ground panting, trying to recover their energy. Although they had been running for such a long time, everyone felt that their energy had increased. They realized that when a person’s endurance reached the limit, they could surpass the limit. Soon, everyone happily reaped the reward, their fatigue forgotten. Philip did not hide his relationship with Montel and Clementine. The three stood together and shared some food. As a snack lover, Clementine bought a lot of delicious food. Clementine even brought her camera, planning to return to her job of recording some good shots in the secret realm. Clementine brought enough spare batteries and could not wait to record everything. Those who had been instructed to pay attention to Montel and Clementine took this opportunity to approach Clementine with a flattering look. “Young lady, which class are you in?” They looked at Clementine in fascination. This young woman was beautiful and energetic, not a simple cha
Montel furtively took out his tablet to make a prediction and found that it was exactly as Philip said. “I found a powerful energy fluctuation at the bottom of the lake,” Montel analyzed solemnly, quite curious about this matter. Philip already found the entrance to the secret realm. His senses were much stronger than those of ordinary practitioners. As soon as he arrived, he discovered something was wrong with the lake. In a place with such beautiful mountains and clear waters, the lake should be green and clear. However, this lake was dark and spooky, quite scary. While they were waiting, someone also noticed something wrong with the water. A guy approached the lake and curiously scooped some water in his hands. Seeing this scene, Philip knew it was bad. He was quite sure no one should touch this water. Sure enough, as soon as he came into contact with the lake water, his right hand began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. Others panicked and ran away w
“That's right. We have to enter the secret realm through this lake. If the water is so corrosive, we’ll die for sure.” Everyone was worried for their own safety at the sight of the student’s plight. The bones on his right hand were all exposed, looking extremely terrifying. Everyone thought he had lost his hand for sure. Mr. Hobart frowned as he tried to think of a solution. At this time, a group of people came from a distance. They looked at the people of the academy with arrogance and burst into laughter when they saw the student with the corroded hand, their ridicule apparent. “I thought the people from the Highford academy were very powerful, but you’re nothing but a bunch of losers. You must choose to join a big faction if you want to practice. Ignorant kids like you must learn to repent your mistakes.” That guy was the senior student of the Tenor Guild, tasked to lead the new students to the secret realm for training this time. This secret realm was very strange, on
Seeing that the academy was helpless too, the people of Tenor Guild found a place to sit without another word. Other forces would arrive soon. Someone would eventually find a way to enter the secret realm. Sure enough, other groups started arriving one after another. They wore different uniforms with their faction logos embroidered on their chests. The Pill Guild, the Millen family, the Jayson family, and all other major forces gathered. A few hours passed, and all the forces arrived at the scene. They stood in different places and stared at the lake cautiously without acting recklessly. Mr. Hobart stood in front of everyone and stared solemnly at the large factions. The academy could be considered a relatively large force, but it was newly established. It was incomparable to the large families and factions in terms of a sense of belonging or overall capabilities. He did not expect that so many people would explore the secret realm this time. The Millen family noticed
Philip patted Montel's shoulder. “Don’t underestimate my camouflage pill. It can disguise both our appearance and practice levels.” Philip was very confident that the pill recipe from the book could tide them over. With Philip's assurance, Montel and Clementine were relieved. They were worried that their level was too high to enter the secret realm. With the camouflage pill in hand now, they could go wherever they wanted. Everyone laughed at Philip’s unwarranted confidence as he approached the lake. “Wow, that guy is pretty bold.” “Sure enough, this unreliable academy is full of idiots. Even though the lake is highly toxic, they still dare to approach it!” “Only the academy would recruit such idiots. Other families and factions are very strict about recruitment, and they’d never set their sights on these people!” Everyone chattered without paying any heed to the feelings of Philip and Mr. Hobart. They pointed and mocked them. Montel and Clementine glared at them ang
