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
Montel knew that Clementine did not know much about practitioners. She was probably a small-time casual practitioner. “However, not everyone will receive the heritage. Usually, only one person can truly accept the heritage. If one didn’t get the heritage but could still leave in one piece, they’d definitely make huge progress. Achieving a half-step to the other shore isn’t an impossible feat!” Montel spoke incessantly, while the others were excited, especially the students of the academy. They joined the academy to gain protection and improve their strength. If Montel was right in saying that successfully passing through the secret realm would lead to unlimited potential, they had to give it a try. Philip’s interest was piqued, and he said, “I wonder what the heritage of this secret realm is.” Although he had various treasures, he would not refuse more. It would be best if he could get this heritage too. “Let me make a prediction.” Montel grinned and took out his tablet
The Pill Guild was very lucky. Both their members were safe and sound, but that was not the case for the Millen family. A member of the Millen family was taken away, while the other one had his arm bitten off, looking extremely miserable. This person wanted to ask other families and factions for help, but everyone was too concerned about their own safety to take care of a loser. “If anyone is willing to take the Millen family along, we’ll be eternally grateful!” The Millen family member noticed everyone’s indifference and said, “I’ll definitely report this incident to the Millen family and seek hefty compensation for your help!” He looked at everyone anxiously. His bleeding had stopped, but his movements were severely impeded. He would definitely die in this perilous secret realm without anyone to protect him, not to mention getting anything for the Millen family. The two Pill Guild members exchanged a nervous glance. In fact, everyone wanted to work with the Millen famil
“We’ll go with your decision and do whatever you say,” Clementine said with a smile. They just had to be prepared to fight. As for where and when, that was up to Philip to decide. As they made the decision, someone approached them. Philip and the others looked at the woman warily. Philip felt that this woman was definitely stronger than the third zone. Obviously, she had suppressed her level as he did. “What’s up?” Clementine frowned and stood in front of Philip, angry at the sight of this beautiful woman. A beautiful woman like Clementine by Philip’s side was more than enough. Another one would only add to her worries. Hence, Clementine was hostile to this unfamiliar woman. It was best to keep her away from Philip. The unfamiliar woman smiled gently at Clementine’s aggression. “Don't get me wrong, I mean no harm. I want to work with you.” Montel and Philip looked at each other, curious about this request. Normally, these families or factions would think of recr
“I’m afraid you won't dare to work with me once you know my identity,” Philip said with a chuckle. He really wanted to get connected with the Trove Guild. Philip thought the woman would give up upon hearing his remarks, but she became more excited instead. “My name is Noelle, an external agent of the Trove Guild. I’m responsible for all external affairs, so I have the right to decide whether to work with you or not. "I'm not curious about your identity. If you’re very mysterious, I don’t mind hearing about it, but I just want your protection in the secret realm for now.” Noelle’s intention was very straightforward, and it sounded like a pretty good deal. Montel furtively poked Philip, thinking that they should agree. Clementine frowned unhappily. Although Clementine wanted Philip to refuse the other party’s request, she was just a subordinate and could not make decisions for Philip. Philip pondered briefly and agreed to Noelle's request. “I agree. I have no demands fo
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
