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
“Don’t worry, I’m not a bad guy.” Philip glanced at them and found that both kids had a pretty good bone structure. They had the potential to become geniuses if they had the chance to practice. Philip decided to send these two young talents to Arthur. “Don’t worry, we’ll offer you a place to study. This is the Highford Practitioner Academy where you can learn how to become a powerful practitioner. I’ll talk to the dean to waive your fees and give you some pocket money every month. "You can also work part-time if you want. You won’t starve to death if you’re willing to work for it.” Philip placed great importance on developing the kids’ sense of independence, especially those who had to roam the streets. A sense of goodwill toward ordinary people was a big no-no in the harsh world of practitioners. “Thank you for giving us the chance to live, sir. My sister and I are very grateful to you!” The little boy bowed to Philip, and his sister quickly followed suit. A gentle smi
Philip was puzzled by their weird behavior and asked, “What’s up? Why is everyone so mysterious after going out?” Philip looked behind them and saw more than a dozen children standing outside. The children wore ragged clothes with a logo on their chests. They were obviously not from wealthy families but from the same place. “Tell him!” Montel prodded Noelle. “Why me? You go!” Noelle pointed to Aslan awkwardly. “Aslan made the suggestion, so he should do it!” Everyone looked at Aslan expectantly, waiting for him to tell Philip the truth. Aslan shrugged nonchalantly at their tentative looks. He did not think there was anything wrong with this. “You cowards! Leave it to me!” Aslan approached Philip with a fawning look on his face. “Philip, this is a long story. I feel that you have too few people under your command, and it's almost impossible to develop them into a large force. I want to help in your expansion! "It's too late too late to train anyone in their 20s or
Montel simply had to contact Arthur for everything. Arthur knew that Montel was Philip's most loyal subordinate, and his every action was Philip’s order. Montel quickly carried out Philip’s order and brought the children to the other villas. Wynn smiled brightly at the sight of so many children. “I’m sure Mila will be very happy to see so many children of her age around!” Wynn’s gentle grace quickly attracted all the children’s attention. The children enjoyed this life and had bright smiles on their innocent and simple faces. After they settled down, Philip glanced at them and found that these children were quite talented. If they were allowed to practice, their progress would not be slow. “What do you think of my suggestion?” Aslan said smugly. Aslan had read many books, mastered various military techniques, and learned all sorts of internet jargon. He was even dressed in fashionable clothes now. “Not bad. You can find more children if you have time. I’m going
“Old man, why don’t you have any children suitable for practice here?” The people from the Nyx Guild asked the old dean without caring if he understood what they meant. The old dean was a normal person who had no idea about practice. “What do you mean by that? I don't know what a person suitable for practice looks like.” The old dean looked very miserable in their hands. The members of the Nyx Guild looked at the dean in boredom and shoved him to the ground. “Has anyone taken away any children from your orphanage recently?” They rephrased the question so that the dean could understand it better. The dean nodded and said, “Some young people took away many orphans from our orphanage, but they followed the formal procedures and left us a lot of money! They aren't bad people!” The dean did not know what these people wanted and tried to defend Aslan and the others. The people of the Nyx Guild looked at each other and guessed that these people probably took away the orpha
