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
The children overheard the conversation and looked at Aslan mockingly, thinking that he was not right in the head. Although they were children, they knew how valuable a practitioner was. A practitioner to deliver goods? Simply ridiculous. “Maybe your dream will come true when we have so many practitioners that they end up worthless one day.” Clementine also thought that this idea was ridiculous. They returned to the villa where the first batch of children had already settled down. The villa next door was converted into a dormitory. The children slept in bunk beds, and certain rooms were converted into classrooms for them. “Let’s find a time to bring your mom and dad over. We’ll settle here for the time being,” Philip said to Wynn. Wynn had reached the late stage of the fifth zone and was fully capable of taking care of herself. Charles and Martha were still ordinary people, so it was not safe for them to stay so far away. Wynn nodded. She just had the idea that morn
In short, as long as children were born every day, the Nyx Guild would never go out of business. “Boys, the kind-hearted people who gathered these children for us will make us a lot of money!” The sinister man was Cain, a powerful senior member of the Nyx Guild. He brought along seven members to complete the mission this time, and everyone had a target of five children. They had to capture 40 children to please their superiors. Cain was an elite at completing missions, always performing every task well and quickly. Hence, he was quite confident about this mission too. “According to our findings, that guy brought back at least a hundred children. That’s enough to cover our targets for two months!” “Spot on. We can even take a few children for ourselves and watch as our strength increases!” Everyone smiled brightly. They could already imagine the day they advanced. Cain smiled smugly. He shared the same thought. Based on his calculations, other than completing the t
“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
