Aslan felt that he had made the right choice. “I dealt with many alchemists back then, but I’ve never heard of such a powerful pill. I guess it must be your secret technique. In that case, you’re no ordinary person!” At this point, he lifted his head with pride and raised his right hand to make an oath with his soul. “I, Aslan Lavi, is a man of my word. From now on, I’ll follow Philip Clarke and become your most faithful servant.” As soon as Aslan finished speaking, Philip felt a connection between his and Aslan's souls. There was an inseparable relationship between the two, and Philip felt as if one thought of his mind could determine Aslan’s life and death. Philip only thought of recruiting Aslan as his comrade, but Aslan took the initiative to make an oath on his soul and form a master-servant agreement. Although Philip was very moved, he did not refuse. After all, they just got to know each other, so it was better to have this guarantee. “We’re finally here!” Ph
The five-hour journey was greatly reduced to half an hour with Aslan running at full speed. After arriving at the destination, Aslan turned into a human again. He leaned against the tree smugly while catching his breath. “Have we gotten rid of those ants?” He looked behind him nervously. He did his best in the past half an hour. Philip nodded. It would take a while for those stupid ants to catch up. While they fled, he threw his scent all over the place. It was enough to confuse the ants for a long time. After getting Philip’s affirmation, Aslan looked around doubtfully but did not see anyone else. “When the secret realm opened back then, many young people wanted to enter it. What happened to them?” He wondered what was going on. Philip shrugged and said, “The lake water outside the secret realm is very toxic, so no one can enter in large batches. It’ll probably take another day before they can enter.” Philip looked at Aslan, relieved that he was quite smart. As e
Philip’s scent could be concealed, but it was different for Aslan. He had been imprisoned for thousands of years, and the ants were very familiar with his scent. However, the enhanced pill could conceal his presence perfectly. As Philip headed to the Water Dragon Pond to look for Montel and Clementine, many people gathered at the lake outside the secret realm. They were the reinforcements sent by the major families. The families were waiting for the water to detoxify before they sent all their people to enter the secret realm. They were behind the academy in timing, so they had to make up for it with numbers. “Old Hobart, why don’t I see anyone from your academy coming?” Seeing only a few people around Mr. Hobart, the Millen family taunted him. He knew that those were the lecturers of the academy. They came here in a hurry just to make their presence known. They had no way to enter the secret realm. Mr. Hobart chuckled and said, “We've sent enough people inside. Besides,
Everyone knew that Philip was no ordinary character. His ability to enter the secret realm proved that he could get the heritage. Gradually, Philip’s name entered everyone’s conversation. “I didn't expect the guy from the Practitioner Academy to be so powerful to come up with such pills, but I do wonder if someone gave him the pills or he made them himself.” “Are you crazy? How could a young kid like him make such wonderful pills?” Everyone spoke incessantly, especially the Millen family, who expressed their dissatisfaction with Philip to the extreme. The Millen family was already angry with Philip for killing a member of their family, so they could hardly tolerate it when others sang his praises. Since Philip was not around, and they probably would not have anything to do with him in the future, they might as well badmouth him as much as possible. Mr. Hobart merely listened to their conversation quietly with a smile. … Philip and Aslan walked through the forest to th
Unlike humans, monster beasts could absorb energy by nature, so monster beasts were already stronger than most practitioners since birth. Aslan could no longer absorb energy on his own and was no different from an invalid. Hence, he had to first repair his energy veins before he could improve his strength and return to his original level. Aslan was fully aware of this and sighed helplessly, at a loss for what to do. “I once tried to use my energy to restore those damaged veins, but it was too difficult! My efforts bore no results at all and even consumed the little energy I had left.” Aslan was full of frustration. He never dreamed that he would experience this. After all, he was a member of the royal family, and it was embarrassing to lose the ability to practice. “Can you help me? If I can regain my peak strength, I can be of great help to you.” Aslan pinned all his hopes on Philip. For some reason, he had full confidence in Philip. He somehow felt that this young m
“Not only did that bird steal my things, but it also pooped on my head! It went too far!” Philip could totally imagine the scene. He was very interested in the treasure mentioned by Aslan and wanted to know what it was. “Since we have time, let’s go and take a look. The treasure flew out from the mountain back then, so we can head there.” Aslan turned into a huge lion and carried Philip on his back up the mountain. Aslan quickly made his way up the mountain with his huge size and agile movements. The day passed in the blink of an eye. Many people entered the secret realm one after another. The first batch of people who entered the secret realm were very lucky with no major casualties so far. However, things were different for the next batch. As soon as they entered the forest, they encountered the Marching Red Ants who were frantically searching for their enemies. The ants were good at fighting and appeared in troops, so their strength could not be underestimated. The
Philip was more perceptive than Aslan. Although the latter was very strong and belonged to the monster beast family, he was no match for Philip’s techniques. Philip’s perception was the best! Aslan looked at Philip curiously and asked, “How did you know there was a magic circle there? I came here before and didn’t notice anything.” Aslan looked at Philip with admiration. If not for Philip’s young age, he would have thought that Philip had been living here for a long time. Philip was embarrassed. He had no idea how to explain this. If he told the truth, it would seem that he was bragging. In any case, it would make no difference. Philip decided to keep quiet and retain an air of mystery. After sensing the magic circle, Philip felt a little nervous. There was more to it than met the eye, and Philip was neither good at making nor breaking magic circles. He worriedly searched through Verge Tower but found no books about magic circles, leaving him in a dilemma. If he could n
Aslan picked up some stones from the ground and threw them at the bird. However, the stones could not get close to the annoying bird at all. They shattered as soon as they reached the village. The bird flew to the village in fright. Aslan cursed indignantly as the bird vanished from his sight. He wished he could go back in time to a thousand years ago, when he would still have the chance to deal with this wretched bird. However, that was wishful thinking. He obviously could not deal with the bird and was humiliated again and again. “Philip, think of a way for us to enter this village. I want to catch that bird and make you some roasted bird meat! Your strength will be greatly enhanced after the meal. Trust me!” Aslan said viciously, hating the bird to the core. Philip chuckled at Aslan. He was definitely going to enter the village, but he had yet to figure out the way. He was baffled too. Philip tried to get closer to the village and found a strong force sucking him into
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
