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
Various professionals had been studying the enhancement pill for a long time but to no avail. In the end, this project was shelved. Unexpectedly, Noelle heard of it again from Philip. However, Noelle had surpassed the fourth zone, so this pill would not have any effect on her. Nonetheless, there were other powerful talents in the Trove Guild, but they tended to take a long time to level up. This enhancement pill would be of great help to them. With enough pills on hand, they could easily develop countless teams of experts. At this moment, Noelle regarded Philip as her idol. “Um, can I ask you an abrupt question? If I kill a member of the Venom Guild, can I get a pill too?” Noelle asked shamelessly. Although she felt a little embarrassed, Noelle had to lower her dignity to get a pill. Philip nodded. This policy applied to everyone. Anyone who carried a head with them would get a pill. Since Philip said so, Noelle took it seriously. They hurried along as their time
“As expected of the Water Dragon King, everything is related to water.” Philip glanced at Montel and Noelle. He felt the strong vibe of heritage around and knew that the opportunity they wanted was below. He wanted to give this opportunity to Montel, but he did not forget Noelle's promise to him either. The whole day had passed, and it was almost impossible to find another heritage. While Philip pondered, Montel noticed his struggle. He took the initiative and said, “Since the bottom of this pool can trap a giant python, it must be very dangerous. Why don’t you clear the way for us? Noelle and I will go in together to see who can get the heritage.” Philip looked up at Montel with relief. This was the best solution. Noelle had no objection to this proposal. She thought that Philip would give this heritage to Montel, but Montel proposed a fair competition instead. “Sure,” Noelle agreed immediately. Now that everyone had reached a consensus, Philip told Aslan and Cleme
Philip manipulated some stones to drill into the crack. The next moment, the stones disappeared, leaving the crack intact. This scene aroused Philip's interest. He sent a voice transmission to Clementine and asked her to take Aslan down to check it out. Clementine received the merfolk heritage and could move freely in the water as if it were her home. Aslan hated water by nature and grumbled unhappily as Clementine brought him down. “Philip, did you find something good?” Aslan assumed that Philip had found something good but could not take it away and needed their help. Philip was about to explain the situation when he heard a crack not far away. He looked back in shock and was dumbfounded. “Look, is the chain splitting in two?!” Philip pointed to the iron chain glowing with white light and felt a bad foreboding. Through the python’s tail, Philip sensed that its energy was increasing rapidly. Clearly, the python had lost its energy while being trapped here, which
“I'm much more flexible than you.” Philip glanced at the python's tail that was about to break out of the pool with apprehension in his eyes. He jumped into the crack and disappeared into the dark water. After Philip left, the python’s tail left the pool. After regaining its freedom, the python smashed the rocks at the bottom of the water while scenting the uninvited guests who barged into the pool. After Philip and the others entered the crack, their vision went dark. The next moment, a strong light shone into their eyes, and they appeared on the water. They opened their eyes and found that they were surrounded by people. The people standing around wore modern clothes with different uniforms that represented various factions. A few people standing on the edge groaned and clutched their heads as if in pain. Philip saw Mr. Hobart standing at the front at a glance. Mr. Hobart was looking at the water anxiously as if waiting for someone. “I can’t believe that you’re
Philip did not know what happened to Krait. He simply had a feeling that death still targeted him even though he had left the secret realm. “Something doesn’t feel right. Watch out, everyone,” Philip warned them. He was more sensitive than anyone else. “Philip, this is Noelle's mobile phone number. She said you can contact her at any time.” Montel recited a string of numbers that Noelle told him before they parted ways. Everyone glanced at Montel thoughtfully but said nothing. As soon as they arrived at the academy, Mr. Hobart took Philip away. The others wisely returned to their rooms, eager to wash up and relieve the tension of the past few days. Mr. Hobart's strength was unfathomable. Philip tried to size him up but found that his senses were blocked by a wall. “Little one, is Wynn Johnston of the Johnston family your wife?” Mr. Hobart's first sentence was not pleasantries but a question that Philip never expected. Philip's expression became serious. “Yes.”
Philip did not even inform Montel and the others. The disappearance of his wife and daughter had left Philip in a panic. Although Wynn had embarked on the path of practice, dealing with the villains of the Venom Guild was still too much for her. Besides, the Venom Guild was best at abducting and torturing women for their deranged pleasure. He was afraid that something would happen to Wynn if he went there too late. “Forrest Villa,” Philip muttered the name and quickly disappeared into the darkness. With his traversing ability, Philip quickly arrived at Forrest Villa. Philip felt a bad foreboding at the sight of the spooky villa. At this moment, a big party was being held at Forrest Villa. After Krait returned to the villa, he discovered a way to coexist with the python by chance. As long as he fed the python with a lot of fresh blood, the latter would stay in his body quietly without competing for control over the body with him. Coincidentally, the Venom Guild had a
Krait flicked his tongue out angrily. The Venom Guild members looked up in fear and were about to say something when Krait’s tongue split in two and swept over them. The next moment, they lost consciousness. Krait swallowed them and licked his tongue with satisfaction. “I’m so fortunate to come to a place filled with food. Water Dragon King, wait and see how I’ll deal with you this time!” Krait’s eyes blazed. Krait walked through the wall and came to Philip. Philip’s presence was very strong and familiar. Both Krait and the python hated this force very much. The python found this force very familiar, which also allowed it to quickly identify Philip. Philip looked at Krait with disgust. As expected of a member of a demonic guild. The fishy stench on his body was no different from the python he saw in the cave! “I didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Krait said with a smile, and his hoarse voice sounded very unpleasant. “Have we met before?” Philip frowned, al
“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
