When everyone thought that Philip was about to fall, a sudden change occurred. The dark sky was split open by a halberd, and a man with a stern face descended from the sky. “Die, old man!” Everyone trembled at the sound of this cold voice. They recognized this helper, and they knew that they were saved! “Fennel!” Philip was shocked. He did not expect that his good buddy, Fennel Leigh, would appear at this time! Cadmus felt the other party’s pressure and became wary. Although the other party's talent and ability to fight beyond his level were not as good as Philip’s, he had reached a half-step to the other shore. Coupled with his talents, dealing with Cadmus was a piece of cake. Cadmus was solemn. If he did not kill Philip today, Philip would definitely seek revenge in the future. His guild might also be implicated. If Philip was allowed to develop, he would be a possible threat to his guild! “All of you will die!” He swung the sledgehammer and attacked the two
Now, it seemed that Philip would only put them in danger! “I think Wynnie should remarry one of those nice and simple practitioners! We can have power and money, as well as an honest practitioner for a son-in-law. Isn’t it safer than letting her be with Philip?” Martha hid behind her husband and whispered in fear. Charles never dreamed that Martha would say something like that after the crisis was over. If Philip and the others had not tried their best to save them, that old practitioner would have killed them already! Charles was very upset with Martha’s ungrateful attitude. “Say no more. Philip saved us just now!” Charles was increasingly disgusted with his wife's behavior and left in a huff. Martha scowled at Charles’ rage. “I was stating a fact! Wynn can only live an uncertain and dangerous life with Philip!” Martha anxiously chased after Charles, trying to persuade him. As long as Charles supported her idea, Martha had her ways to break Philip and Wynn up.
Fennel was calm, but his words made Philip very happy. “I want to know what’s going on.” Philip knew that Cadmus was probably sent by Shawn to deal with him. He was mainly curious about Cadmus' identity. “That old man was Cadmus, a member of a reclusive faction. We have reclusive practitioners and secular practitioners in this world. People from the reclusive practice world won't appear for no reason, while secular practitioners are not qualified to enter the reclusive world! “Now that energy has been revived, however, everyone has a fighting chance. The energy reserves in the mountains are no longer enough for the people of the reclusive practice world, so they want to reach out to the outside world.” Philip scowled darkly. He knew how strong the people in the reclusive practice world were. Any random person could create chaos and disrupt the secular order of this world. Practitioners in the secular world might have a fighting chance, but ordinary people could only wat
“People of the reclusive practice world will soon enter the secular world. They've sent people to explore this world. Once they understand the situation here, they'll take action.” Everyone listened seriously. They could not wait to start practicing to improve themselves immediately. However, they knew that they could not achieve any results without Philip’s pills and abundant energy. Philip quickly placed a large energy-gathering formation in the living room. Their villa was surrounded by several villas and was in the most central location. Placing the formation here could gather energy within the range of the formation for everyone to enjoy. Everyone looked at Philip’s actions in confusion. Although they were curious to find out what Philip was doing, they knew it was something serious. Philip had just finished when everyone exclaimed in horror. “What the hell is going on? The energy around me has suddenly increased!” Montel stood up in disbelief and sniffed the ene
Arthur nodded seriously. Just the miracle pill given by Philip was enough to cause a commotion. “When do you think the people from the reclusive factions will enter the secular world?” Philip stopped dwelling on this topic and asked Fennel instead. Fennel pondered and said, “Probably a month. They need some time to explore this world too. They've never left the reclusive world and will take some time to get used to things.” Philip nodded. “I need to quickly improve my strength within a month.” Everyone became wary. They knew that everyone would be in danger once the reclusive factions entered the secular world. “In that case, I can take you to a place for training. It’s very dangerous, but you can gain a lot if you can return alive,” Fennel suggested. Although that place was extremely dangerous, there was no gain without risk. Everyone was worried and reluctant to let Philip take the risk, but Philip had no choice. “We’ll set off tomorrow.” While everyone chatted, t
“I’ll try my best to complete my trip within two weeks and deal with the Oncidium Guild after my return. Then, we can wait for the arrival of the reclusive factions with peace of mind. "I’ve placed an energy-gathering formation in this villa so that the speed of your practice can be increased several times. Don’t let me down,” Philip said with a smile, already putting everything in place. At this time, Mila returned home and pouted when she saw everyone eating. “Dad, you didn’t wait for me to come back before eating!” Philip’s heart melted at the sight of this cute little girl. His family was the reason he worked so hard. Fennel smiled stiffly at the sight of Mila. He reached out to stroke Mila on the head but froze at the thought of his stern face. He was afraid of scaring her. However, Mila hugged Fennel very sensibly, surprising him. Mila thought Fennel looked familiar but did not have a deep impression of him. Philip and Fennel had not seen each other for many
“Phil, I think you should leave us more of that potion. It’d be great if we could withstand a practitioner’s attack using our physical bodies with no problems!” Wynn enthusiastically suggested while they were in bed. Everyone was envious of Aslan's physical fitness. Philip nodded. He had the same idea. “I’ll prepare some potions targeted for different people and label them with everyone’s names. They'll produce miraculous effects for those with different physical constitutions if you follow my instructions properly,” Philip said gently. He would do it even if Wynn had not brought it up. Philip was very happy to see that everyone around him had a great desire to improve themselves. This was what a family working together should look like! Meanwhile, some people went against Philip’s wishes. Martha was wide awake in bed, pondering how to break Philip and Wynn up. Her opinion about Philip had changed for the better, but everything changed again after this incident. Alt
After Philip left, Martha could do whatever she wanted. Introducing a few practitioners to Wynn would be a piece of cake. However, Wynn was very stubborn and insisted on being with Philip. Even when she had to wait for Philip for three years and was humiliated by endless rumors, Wynn never regretted it. “I have to get this done!” Martha vowed before falling asleep. … The next day, Philip and Fennel left the villa before anyone woke up. He was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave when everyone was around. Fennel looked very dashing in white clothes. He put everything in his storage bag and left empty-handed with Philip. Before he left, Philip gave everyone a valuable storage ring. Fennel watched in surprise as Philip gave them away. “Are all these storage rings?” He could not believe that Philip owned so many storage rings. Philip placed the rings by everyone’s bedside. He had told Wynn to teach them how to use them. Fennel was confused by his actions.
“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
