Although they did not take part in attacking the Venom Guild, they had stood by looking for opportunities, trying to join the battle. Thus, their sense of participation was very strong! Everyone thought they were heroes who took part in the battle! In their opinion, cheering on the sidelines was considered taking part. Delia was soon surrounded by the crowd and seemed helpless about it. These people were so annoying to interrupt her interaction with her idol. However, they did take part in her rescue, so Delia could only treat them kindly without losing her temper. Aslan ignorantly approached Philip and said in confusion, “Philip, I think that woman likes you. Why don’t you tell her your name? Isn’t it good to have a romantic relationship?” Aslan could not figure out why Philip treated her so coldly. Philip shook his head helplessly. As expected of a monster beast, Aslan was so simple-minded. “Do monster beasts practice monogamy or something similar?” Philip asked curio
Noelle was not surprised for Philip to do that, but it was strange for everyone else to do that. Noelle pondered briefly and approached Montel. Montel seemed to be the most easy-going person. Maybe he would tell her if she asked him. With a smile plastered on her face, Noelle approached Montel curiously and asked in a low voice, “Hey, can you tell me what pills you’re taking?” Montel stared at Noelle cautiously as if deciding whether he should tell her. Noelle quickly realized that Montel was afraid she would reveal their secrets. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone what you told me. I swear on my soul!” Montel relaxed at her vow. Practitioners placed great importance on promises. Once they took an oath on their souls, it could never be violated. They were on the same side anyway, so Montel told her about the effects of the pills they were taking. “These are called energy replenishment pills, and they were given by Philip. Taking these when your energy is exhausted ca
Noelle felt a little embarrassed as Montel left. Without further ado, she swallowed the replenishment pill in one gulp, and her expression immediately brightened. She never dreamed that such an amazing pill existed in this world. As soon as she swallowed the pill, she felt her energy recovering rapidly. A few minutes later, her energy level had returned to full value. Noelle could even feel that the pill had not been completely absorbed yet. “Amazing!” Forgetting her identity, Noelle jumped up and stared at Philip with joy. Noelle knew that Philip made this pill. He was simply amazing! If Noelle could successfully recruit Philip to Trove Guild, the guild would definitely reach greater heights. By then, even Kronos could not do anything to the Trove Guild! Thinking of this, Noelle's mood became very good. Before she could say anything to Philip, Philip waved to everyone, signaling them to go down the mountain. Everyone was quite united and raised no objections. They
Philip smacked Montel on his head to bring him back to normal. “Spit it out. Stop winking at me.” Montel smiled awkwardly and said, "That woman is the daughter of the leader of the Smith Guild, an identity not to be trifled with. Moreover, the Smith Guild joined forces with the Formation Guild many years ago, so her knowledge in smithing and formation can be imagined,” Montel praised this woman to the skies. Philip was not very interested in this information, but he did not expect this woman to have that identity. “So, we saved a big shot just now?” Philip smiled helplessly. So what if she was the daughter of the leader of the Smith Guild? In his opinion, she was less than Wynn’s pinky! Montel sighed and reminded Philip, “If we can build a good relationship with them, we can practically get hold of any weapons we want in the future.” With such a good opportunity in front of them, they would be fools not to grab it! At this moment, Philip found two books on smithing and
Having a superb weapon was the dream of all practitioners and men of passion. “That’s great, Philip. Since you’re a smithing master, I want a weapon…” Philip smacked Montel on the head. “No rush. Wait until we get out of the secret realm.” Along the way, he collected a lot of metals and equipment for forging weapons. He could try to forge some weapons after leaving the secret realm. Philip was eager to become omnipotent too. After the Stein family received the prescription from Philip, they improved by leaps and bounds. The family that had already occupied a powerful position in traditional medicine suddenly soared to the top and became even more eye-catching. Although Philip did not know about the grudges between the Stein family and the Pill Guild, he knew they must be connected. He also knew that the Pill Guild was no match for the Stein family. He was absolutely confident that any family or faction under his command would be developed into the most powerful existe
The Venom Guild knew that Delia was a good source of energy, but they were more aware of how important a good weaponsmith was. If they could capture Delia in the secret realm this time, it would be a major haul. Besides, the members of the Venom Guild found out that Delia traveled alone without joining other forces, which made them even more excited. Who would refuse a piece of this pie? However, she was quite powerful, and the formation she randomly arranged really made them suffer. Nonetheless, she carried limited resources with her, so they just had to wait it out. They could not enter, while the other party could not exit either. They just had to wait at the entrance. When the time limit of the formation expired, they could capture Delia again. Wave after wave of heroes tried to save the damsel in distress, but the Venom Guild sent them to meet their maker. On top of that, they drained all of the victims’ energy and converted it into their own. Delia happened to w
Delia grumbled as she walked, constantly thinking about Philip’s face. Ever since she took one look at Philip, Delia could not put him out of her mind. His face was deeply etched in her eyes and heart. Unfortunately, the other party had disappeared, and she did not even know his name. ‘I wonder when I can see you again!’ Delia thought as she walked to the foot of the mountain. The news that the members of the Venom Guild were instantly killed quickly spread throughout the secret realm, and everyone wondered who could kill them so easily. After all, the members of the Venom Guild were at a higher level than them. Unless everyone attacked in a group, there was no way to defeat the Venom Guild. This bad apple in the world of practitioners had caused dissatisfaction among many people, and everyone was angry with the Venom Guild. Nearly all the practitioners had been robbed by the Venom Guild. The guild members were best at stealing things from others, bullying everyone, and d
Everyone laughed. They did not expect the Venom Guild to dare to mess with them. Many people witnessed the incident of Philip killing the Venom Guild members earlier, so Philip believed that someone would divulge his whereabouts to get rewards from the Venom Guild. His group was too conspicuous—all handsome guys and beautiful ladies. It was normal to attract attention. They chatted as they moved along and soon arrived at Plumeria Dragon Cave. “Philip, the Venom Guild is trying to get back at you. Why don't you think about how to fight back?” Aslan was a little anxious at Philip’s indifference. He was a combative person. He wanted Philip to pick a fight with the Venom Guild so that he could join in the fun too. Philip thought about it seriously. “I think you have a point. If I don't do something, they’ll think I’m a coward,” Philip said with a smile. In fact, he did not care about their opinion. He was more concerned that this matter could spread so widely. In just a
“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
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
