The two entered the palace and saw a huge arena. Various spectators surrounded a huge battlefield in the middle where two people were fighting, seemingly to the death. “The fights can be man-to-man or man-to-beast. Some people fight to prove their ability, while others do it for money.” Philip was surprised to hear that practitioners would be short of money. “The winner can get jade and various resources, valuable things for practitioners.” Philip nodded. “You can sign up when you’re ready. You’ll definitely improve if you can persist for half a month,” Fennel said with a smile. He had done this before. Luckily, he kept winning, or he would have been dead by now. “What happens if I lose?” Philip asked thoughtfully. Fennel shook his head and said, “You can live only if your opponent doesn’t kill you. Of course, if anyone does anything behind the scenes…” Fennel was very clear about it. If Philip could not beat his opponent, his outcome would depend on his opponent.
Everyone wanted to see Philip being tormented. “It’s your call!” “Hurry up and start the fight. I don’t want to see this scrawny kid!” “How dare this newcomer fool around in this battle arena?” Many people were just here for the excitement. They were not bold enough to participate. Many people were envious of Philip’s courage. A big burly man entered the field, walking a little clumsily like a bear. “Hey kid, are you the one who wants to fight me?” His gruff voice sounded very unpleasant. “Come on, fatty.” Philip did not hold back at all. At the bell, Philip sprang into action and took down the fat man with one move. Everyone was dumbfounded at this scene. They thought Philip would definitely lose this round and even placed bets on it. Unexpectedly, Philip was so powerful and defeated his opponent with one move. Was he really an ordinary person? Everyone looked at Philip apprehensively, regarding him as a dark horse. They might suffer if they did not take
The sexy woman thought that her movements were so fast that no one could see her. However, this motionless man caught her with such precision! How did he restrain her without causing any damage? The sexy woman was surprised and tried to break free from Philip’s control. After all, Philip merely caught her in a chokehold, which did not seem too much of a threat. However, she was obviously too confident about herself. Philip grabbed her neck so tightly that she could not break free at all. The sexy woman panicked and tried to escape with a technique, but she realized that she could not mobilize her energy at all. The opponent seemed to be carrying something that prevented her from using her energy. “A-Are you a freak?” The expression on the sexy woman's face changed from arrogance to despair. She knew she could not beat her opponent. She had killed at least hundreds of people in the arena. This was her first defeat. Was she about to die for no reason? She could
Who was this person? How could he kill a powerful practitioner as if she were an ordinary person? The people who bet that Philip would lose panicked. No one thought that Philip would be so powerful. Philip glanced at the host. He knew that the host was not happy with him. The host trembled with fear at the sight of Philip’s terrifying gaze. “What should we do next?” The host looked at his partner in horror. Although he did not know this man, he felt unusual killing intent from him as if he was sure to die under his hands. Just one look was intimidating enough. The host could not imagine how strong Philip could be. “What else can we do? Hurry up and arrange the strongest opponent for him. We can’t let him walk out of the arena alive!” The two quickly reached an agreement and made a cruel decision. Philip was in the seventh zone, so the strongest opponent they could arrange was a half-step to the other shore, which was more than enough to deal with him. They refused
Denzel sent a guy in the fifth zone into the arena. This guy was watching the battle and was amazed at Philip's strength. Unexpectedly, he was scheduled to fight in the next round. He was very frightened and was just about to refuse when Denzel gave him a stern warning. In desperation, the practitioner had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the field. He just hoped that Philip would spare his life instead of killing him in one move. Philip was thoughtful at the sight of this practitioner in the fifth zone. He thought that the last opponent would be very difficult to deal with, but it turned out to be a person with such a low level. Hence, Philip had some guesses about the organizers of the arena. They did not seem to be good people, but Philip did not want to force the issue. They were clearly trying to get into his good books now, but Philip was not that easy to please. He simply felt that they wanted to recoup some losses after they realized how powerful he wa
Terence made a swiping motion across his neck, indicating his suggestion to get rid of Philip. Denzel looked at Terence unhappily. He did not expect this guy to be so stupid. “This young man has the ability and strength. We can't treat him like that. Instead, we should please him and try to recruit him.” Terence scowled darkly, not expecting to hear that. As a talent of the family, he was unhappy to see someone like Philip. Philip was clearly stronger than him. If Philip joined his family, Terence’s status would drop rapidly. The Harrod family did not value bloodline but individual strength. Core family members would naturally occupy an important position, but many powerful people could take up some important positions too. Only ten young family members would be selected from each generation, while others were made up of outsiders who could contribute to the family. There were many young members in Terence’s generation, and it was a tough competition to select ten peo
Terence felt disdainful that his uncle valued Philip so much, but he quickly contained this emotion. He knew his uncle very well. He would be beaten severely if his uncle got angry with him. Denzel was indifferent to Terence’s promise. He knew that no one could refuse the invitation of the Harrod family. Philip was soon announced as the winner, and everyone cheered. They thought the past few battles were exciting. However, some people rejoiced while others despaired. The people who bet that Philip would lose were very upset. They had thought that the outcome was certain, but they lost miserably. Many people staked everything they had and lost it. Philip shrugged and returned to Fennel’s side. Fennel said with satisfaction, “You did very well. We made a lot of money.” Fennel had placed all his bets on Philip right from the start. In his opinion, Philip would never lose. Sure enough, Philip won every round and made him a great fortune. Since the fight was over, Te
“It’s okay if you don’t know the Harrod family. I can tell you that we're one of the largest families in the reclusive practice world. Unlike other factions and families, we don’t place great importance on the bloodline. In our family, you can rise to the top as long as you're capable.” He laid out all his family's advantages methodically. In Terence's opinion, anyone would be excited to hear this, and no one would let go of this opportunity. Philip waved his hand nonchalantly. “Sorry, I’m not interested.” After saying this, he left with Fennel. He was a little tired from the fights and wanted to have a good meal. Terence was dumbfounded at Philip’s unfazed departure. He could not believe that Philip did not cherish this opportunity. “Wait! Stop!” Terence stood in Philip’s path in a panic, surprised by Philip’s outright rejection. “Are you serious? Do you understand what I’m telling you?” Terence was puzzled and angry over the rejection. He could not figure out why an
