Others stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the screaming Leonard in confusion. In their impression, Leonard was an elegant young man who acted calmly in any situation. It was interesting to see Leonard in such a miserable state today. The members who were always bullied by Leonard smiled mockingly but quickly composed themselves. They did not dare to laugh at the young leader in front of so many people. Aslan and the others glanced at Leonard’s miserable state with interest. The women turned their heads away. Leonard’s clothes were as good as not wearing any. They were extremely unsightly. Aslan had never been a shy person. He looked at Leonard thoughtfully and mockingly. “I always thought that humans would never lose to monster beasts. This has finally unraveled my quandary. Are all humans like this?” Aslan looked at Philip and Montel curiously. Philip averted his gaze in embarrassment. Who would be willing to answer that question? Montel coughed a
Shawn vowed to kill everyone! “How dare you?!” Shawn was so angry that his whole body was shaking. A sword appeared in his hand. Waves of sword energy attacked Philip while everyone went running. This guy was getting serious. Philip stood motionless amidst the sword energy. He raised his chin slightly and sneered mockingly. Philip waved his hand. With a roar, lightning struck, neutralizing the sword energy. Thunderstorms raged throughout the Oncidium Guild, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes. Philip made a grabbing motion at the sky. The pouring rain stopped, replaced by a biting cold wind. As the cold wind blew, many members were frozen into icicles. Even the elders who did not run in time faced the same plight and looked miserable. It was not over yet! Philip moved again, and flames appeared next. Their frozen legs were burned by the mysterious flames, and the sight of burning flesh was ghastly. Shawn tried to use his energy to block the
The elders panicked and stood aside in silence. Everyone was scared out of their wits. The attacks just now did leave some traces on them, but Philip was focused on dealing with Shawn and did not target them. No one could imagine what would happen if all the attacks landed on them. Since Philip was dealing with Shawn, Montel and the others took care of the rest. The guild members had lost the ability to resist and put up no fight. The only problem was the elders. They were prideful and would not give in so easily. However, Philip had frightened them so much that they did not resist either. “Is that it?” Montel found it unbelievable. He thought the Oncidium Guild was very powerful, but this was all they had. The people from the Smith Guild were ecstatic and proud to have taken down these arrogant people. They were usually not allowed to fight, not to mention dealing with large factions like the Oncidium Guild. Thanks to Philip, they managed to clean up the trash an
It was interesting to hear everyone claim that their leader was a half-step to the other shore. Shawn panicked as his secret was exposed. Would the image he had finally established in front of these members be destroyed today? “What? The seventh zone? Really?” John, the only survivor, was puzzled. As he was too weak, Philip did not target him at all. That was why he escaped unscathed. John was extremely surprised to hear that. He had fought alongside Shawn before and knew Shawn could not be in the seventh zone. “Since we've found Preston and taught them a good lesson, let’s go.” Philip issued the command and left with his people. He was not curious to find out what happened to Shawn. He just needed to know that Shawn was a loser. Aslan promptly followed suit, unwilling to stay here a second longer. The members of the Smith Guild looked back with every step. Although rueful that they could not continue to deal with the Oncidium Guild, they were proud of today’s battl
If they lost their members, they could simply recruit more. However, once the guild's reputation was ruined, everything would be over. If the outside world found out that the Oncidium Guild was weak and useless, no one would join them anymore. Seeing the elders’ dissatisfaction, Shawn sighed and sat on the floor dejectedly. He badly wanted revenge too. If not for the fact that his strength had been restricted, he would have killed Philip already. John, who had remained silent until now, approached Shawn. “Leader, I know there's more than meets the eye. What happened to you? Why did your strength regress?” He had felt that something was wrong even before. He was even more uncertain of the leader's reaction now. If something happened to Shawn, the guild would be ruined. “It’s a long story. Let’s check on our members first. We’ll meet in the main hall in two hours.” After much deliberation, Shawn decided to tell them the truth. If the situation had been peaceful, he co
A look of embarrassment flashed across Shawn's face. He did not expect things to turn out this way. Kronos did not act like this when they approached the Oncidium Guild back then. They claimed to be a powerful force that would protect all the members who joined them, so the Oncidium Guild was tempted. After energy was revived, no one knew if anyone could remain powerful forever. In an era where opportunity and danger coexisted, they finally decided to join a force. Shawn paid a hefty price to join Kronos. In order to join Kronos and become a high-ranking core member, he had to sacrifice his practice level. Kronos required him to sacrifice one level in exchange for their protection. That was the reason Shawn dropped one zone! He did not tell anyone about this, and Kronos’ protection did not come into play. He would only end up a laughingstock if anyone found out about it. When it was time for Kronos to take action today, nothing happened. He could not even hide the
The Oncidium Guild was a well-established force with pretty strong members. Nothing would go wrong unless they encountered a really strong opponent. Kronos could not think of anyone who could pose a threat to the Oncidium Guild, so they chose to turn a blind eye. They had no idea that this move had landed Kronos in deep trouble. The Oncidium Guild was quite influential, and many people soon heard the news they spread out. As modern practitioners, everyone was proficient in using digital technology. Shawn switched on his phone with ease and entered the Kronos’ group chat. He complained about this matter and uploaded a few photos. With his photos and evidence, Kronos could not deny it even if they wanted to. Most of the practitioners in this group were old guys with nothing better to do. They looked at their phones out of boredom at their respective factions and soon figured out the ins and outs of the whole incident. They soon joined the fight to criticize Kronos. Kronos
“The latest news we received is that the Oncidium Guild has joined Kronos! I think I heard that many leaders of other factions or families have dropped one zone one after another.” Delia connected the pieces and looked at Philip in horror. Philip was very smart and quickly figured out what she meant. “Are you saying that they have to offer one zone just to join Kronos?!” Everyone was in disbelief. If that were the case, Kronos could easily groom a super expert. The gap between the first zone and a half-step to the other shore was enormous. The energy contained between the seventh zone to a half-step to the other shore could develop dozens or even a hundred practitioners in the first zone. Philip was troubled. If Kronos really used this method to develop experts in batches, they would be nearly invincible during this time. He knew it was almost impossible for him to fight Kronos now. Although Philip was an expert in the early stage of the seventh zone, fighting Konos was o
“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
