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
Wyatt inwardly praised himself for coming up with this idea. Philip was not annoyed by the other party's arrogant attitude. “Talking is such a waste of time. Why don’t we have a bet?” Philip said nonchalantly. Initially, Wyatt wanted to mess with Philip to show him the harsh reality of this society. Unexpectedly, the other party fell headlong into his trap. Wyatt felt sorry for Philip’s enthusiasm if he did not go through with it. Mr. Hobart stared at Philip calmly, feeling that the latter seemed familiar. Even though he did not know this young man, he felt his strong sense of confidence and was affected by it. Other people in the academy looked at Philip anxiously, worried about his impulsiveness. Why was he messing with other forces? Many people waited to watch the excitement. The world of practitioners was harsh and cruel. It would be best if they had fewer opponents to deal with. Philip stood silently, waiting for Wyatt’s reply. He really hoped that Wyatt would ta
As everyone waited for Philip to make a fool of himself, Philip squatted down and scooped a handful of water. Everyone was stunned by this scene. They saw how the student’s hand rotted earlier, but Philip still dared to touch the water. Montel and Clementine were taken aback by Philip’s action too. Although they were confident in Philip, this scene was startling. Everyone looked at this scene in horror, amazed by this guy’s daring audacity. Even Mr. Hobart was shocked. The water in this lake was highly toxic and corrosive. Even a person with a high practice level would be affected instantly at a touch of the water. The jeers from the people around grew louder. They could already imagine the upcoming gory scene. This guy dared to touch the water even though he knew it was highly toxic. He was simply courting death. Sure enough, Philip's right hand began to rot after it came into contact with the lake water, which looked horrifying. Everyone looked at him with mocking s
Wyatt’s face was as dark as could be, with a hint of embarrassment. Wyatt did not expect Philip to solve this problem so easily. He was even more embarrassed about the bet between the two of them. He put the dignity of the Millen family on the line, and he lost. He would be finished if others found out about it. He was quite respected in the family, but it did not mean that he could take the dignity of the family lightly. Many people witnessed the bet between him and Philip. It would bring shame to the family if he failed to keep his promise. No matter what, he could not get out of this. Montel stepped forward with disdain. “Hey, loser, didn’t you make a bet with him? Now that he has detoxified the water, are you going to keep your promise?” Montel could not wait to watch the excitement, and this good-for-nothing guy was extremely arrogant earlier. Montel would not feel guilty even if he pulled something on Wyatt. Wyatt scowled. He kept his mouth shut earlier becaus
For Wyatt to admit that the Millen family was a loser in public would be no different than killing him. Even if he was lucky enough to leave this place alive today, he would be ripped into pieces by the Millen family when he returned. The people around him kept urging him, while the Millen family was silent, but their actions expressed their thoughts. They were going to ostracize Wyatt! “T-That’s impossible!” Wyatt glared at Philip angrily. Even if everyone ridiculed him today, he would never admit that the Millen family was a loser. He was clear about the consequences between temporary humiliation and losing his life. Everyone looked at him mockingly, not expecting Wyatt to be so shameless. “I thought you were a genius, but you’re just a down-and-out idiot,” Philip sneered and walked up to Wyatt. “Are you sure you won't fulfill your promise?” Philip asked. Wyatt jerked his chin up, unwilling to compromise. In his opinion, Philip was just a loser with good luck. He
Other major factions and families stared at this scene in stunned silence. Many people gulped and thought that the young man in front of them was very scary. Mr. Hobart looked at Philip in delight, surprised at his strength. The movement of the stone was quite difficult to figure out, and Philip was a rare talent for pulling that off. The Millen family was full of resentment toward Philip. Although they hated Wyatt’s arrogance too, he was a member of the Millen family, after all. It was unacceptable for someone to mess with the Millen family. Killing a member of the Millen family in public was really not a smart move. After dealing with Wyatt, Philip did not leave the lake. Instead, he scooped a handful of water and drank it. Everyone was shocked by his actions. Although Philip detoxed earlier, touching the water with his hands and drinking it were two different things. Philip cheered inwardly when he found no discomfort after drinking the water. One pill could remove
Philip pretended to be worried and nervously took out ten pills. “I was thinking of keeping some in case of an emergency, but since you made this request, I’ll sell ten pills to everyone. I’ll give the pills to Mr. Hobart now. Please approach him if you want to buy some.” Philip handed all the pills he had prepared to Mr. Hobart. Philip whispered in Mr. Hobart’s ear, and his expression brightened. However, Mr. Hobart resumed his stoic look in the blink of an eye. “Since my student is kind enough to put forward ten pills, I have nothing to add. You can buy them from me, and the highest bidder will get the pills.” Mr. Hobart wished he could hug Philip and kiss him. This young man not only solved the biggest problem but also brought them something to be proud of. All major factions rushed forward to fight for these ten pills with hopes of getting all of them. Although no one knew what they would find in the secret realm, it was a chance not to be missed. The pills were q
They were extremely lucky to enter the secret realm one day in advance. Those who did not get the pill could only wait helplessly by the lake until the toxicity reduced after one day before they could start to explore. Under Philip’s lead, everyone rushed to the bottom of the lake. After diving for a full hour, they finally saw the destination. Philip explored the surroundings with his powerful senses and found a cave entrance in a rocky mountain on the upper left. He pointed forward as a signal to everyone. They had been swimming for an hour, and most practitioners could hardly hang on. If they failed to find the entrance to the secret realm, they might have to go up for some air. If that happened, however, it meant that their earlier effort would be in vain. Just before they reached the entrance, Philip saw a huge mouth biting in his direction. He quickly dodged and waved everyone away. Some people were swallowed before they could react while others were injured and
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“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
