“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
Aslan and the others were adults, so it was not appropriate for them to take a bath in public. “Philip, didn’t you say that we only need to do it once a month? It hasn't been a month since the last time!" Aslan grimaced as if he was very afraid of this terrifying potion. Philip smiled at their horror and said, “What do you know? Your strength will improve after every bath. The more you do it, the less pain you’ll feel. Once your strength and physique have been upgraded to the highest level, it’ll be no different from taking a normal bath!” Philip explained in detail, but everyone heard the underlying meaning. “I see. No wonder Mila doesn't feel any pain when taking a bath. That’s because her strength and physique have reached the highest level. What a freak!” Aslan grimaced. He thought that he was strong enough, but he was just a loser in comparison. “Don't be discouraged. Mila just reached the finish line one step ahead of you. As long as you continue taking the potion b
“What do you mean by this?” Cain was a little angry when he saw no reaction from anyone. He felt disrespected and decided to teach them a good lesson. Cain made a hand gesture. The sky turned dark, and the wind blew violently. The surrounding buildings swayed under the biting wind, looking like they would collapse at any time. “Listen up. If you don’t hand them over, I’ll kill all of you!” Black shadows of children appeared in front of everyone. They were the innocent children who had been sacrificed. These children were full of resentment. They were enough to wipe out Philip and the others. “Such strong resentment!” Philip frowned, shocked that the other party practiced such an evil technique. “The Nyx Guild is an evil cult. In comparison, even the Venom Guild has to give way to them!” Delia explained to Philip. They could hardly stand under this intense resentment. The shadows of children lunged at them with ear-piercing screams. Philip took out his sword an
The members of the Nyx Guild were angry when they realized they had met a tough opponent this time. “Damn it, these people are not our comrades from another evil cult at all. That guy’s technique can oppress us!” Cain roared angrily. He knew he would only end up dead if he wasted any more time here. He had to escape! Before Philip’s second move landed, he grabbed the person next to him and shoved him toward Philip. Philip slashed out and rendered that person into a pile of ashes. “Stop him!” Cain used his people to stop Philip’s attack. He took out a charm from his pocket and activated it with his blood. The next second, he disappeared in front of everyone. Before the members of the Nyx Guild realized what was going on, Philip had defeated them. Philip was not surprised to see Cain leaving in a panic. Killing them was too easy for him. His goal was not to kill these minions. Instead, he wanted to attract all the people from this guild and catch them in one fel
The best way to avoid future retaliation was to get rid of everyone. Philip's thinking was always so simple and crude. In his opinion, it was not too difficult to deal with them, but he had to watch out for their underhanded tricks. “I feel so happy here that I don’t want to return to my guild anymore,” Delia grumbled with anticipation. Philip smiled helplessly. Delia had to return to her guild. She was the young leader of the Smith Guild. How could Philip keep this talented girl here for no reason? With the protection of Philip and the others, the children did not pay any attention to what just happened. They soaked in the potion baths and gradually relaxed. To Philip's surprise, the twin siblings were the strongest among them. They did not feel much pain, and their potion turned clear the fastest. Philip was very surprised by their talents and decided to groom them properly. Simply based on their good personalities alone, Philip would never treat them badly. … Mea
Shawn noticed everyone’s dissatisfaction and finally decided to use the most extreme method to solve this problem. “Don't worry, everyone. I’ll contact someone from the reclusive faction to avenge us. Leave this to me. I’ll handle it perfectly,” Shawn said smugly, confident that he could take care of Philip. “Since you have a way to resolve it, we’ll leave it to you. I hope you can restore the guild's reputation as soon as possible and stop those arrogant guys from getting their way,” Joseph said loftily, very unhappy with Shawn. He would take this opportunity to sow discord between other elders and the leader. After dealing with Shawn, his status would rise quickly. Taking the position of guild leader would not be a problem. Shawn nodded. He knew exactly what Joseph was thinking. “Don’t worry, Great Elder Joseph, I won't let you down,” Shawn said through gritted teeth. He turned around and returned to his room without wasting any more time with these people. He had to
“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
