The two energy replenishment pills were quickly sold at very high prices. Philip looked at the list and saw that one of the buyers was the Pill Guild. The Pill Guild was indeed very wealthy to spend so many emerald stones to buy an ordinary pill. Other pills with different effects were also auctioned off one after another, seemingly very popular with the crowd. Philip only accepted emerald stones for this auction, and some hoarders clearly gained the upper hand. Those who did not prepare enough emerald stones were very regretful. Surprisingly, the Pill Guild managed to get five pills, accounting for half of the total. They were very wealthy, indeed. Other guilds had to think twice about spending so much money, but not the Pill Guild. They bought one of each type and left the remaining for the others to fight over. After the auction, Philip got his wish and received a lot of money. The auction ended, but no one left. They wanted to get to know Philip. Everyone kn
Philip made it very clear, and everyone frowned. If the Pill Guild had not interrupted, the others would have forgotten their extreme move of buying five pills. “Hehe, the Pill Guild is quite over the top!” “They kept saying that we should oppose this, but they bought five pills under our noses!” Everyone’s taunts sounded very harsh in the ears of an elder of the Pill Guild. He threw up blood and fell to the ground. Philip went too far. The members of the Pill Guild turned their heads away at the harsh criticisms. Although it was not to the extent that they would throw up blood in anger, they were members of the Pill Guild, after all. They would be uneasy if the Pill Guild came under scrutiny. However, that was indeed the case. They had taken half of the pills, leaving no options for the other families. Nonetheless, the families did not dare to criticize the Pill Guild either. They knew that such pills were far and few between. They still had to rely on the Pill
Maurice’s anger was quickly replaced by a bright smile. He knew that Philip could not escape his clutches. Philip noticed his rapid change of expression and felt exasperated. This guy had to be out of his mind. Philip knew exactly what Maurice was thinking. Since he had the guts for it, Philip had nothing to fear either. “I know you’re making preparations to enter the secular world. In that case, let us meet there.” Philip waved to everyone and turned around to leave. Then, he noticed a woman staring at him. This woman's eyes were full of anger as if she wanted to rip him into pieces. Philip frowned in confusion. He did not recognize this woman with average looks. As Philip turned to leave, everyone pondered over his words. They were practitioners of high status. They left the Harrod family's compound in a flash without any hesitation. Now that Philip had promised to start selling his pills, they had to raise money quickly. Everyone wanted to buy his pills.
Lilian’s eyes were full of killing intent. She hated Philip to the core. As the abandoned daughter of the family, Lilian could only depend on Terence to make ends meet. Now that Terence was dead and Denzel was of no help, Lilian had no idea who she should rely on. Philip finally realized that this woman was Terence's mother. “That loser’s death is nothing worth mentioning,” Fennel said in disdain. Fennel had never had a good impression of Terence. Philip could tell that Lilian was not really seeking revenge for her son but more so expressing her helpless anger. Philip noticed something was wrong with Terence when he killed him. His bloodline was impure. He was not a pure human. If Philip was not mistaken, Terence was the offspring of a monster beast and a human. Philip did not know which monster beast the other half of the bloodline was, but he knew that the outcome was not optimum. If Terence could have perfectly blended the best qualities of both human and monst
Elmer glanced at Lilian in horror and saw the broken dagger next to her. He had an impression of this dagger. It was Lilian’s favorite toy. Honing her speed to perfection was an alternate method of practice. Unexpectedly, her dagger was now broken and Lilian was dying. Without any delay, Elmer walked up to Philip and apologized in fear, “I'm very sorry for not taking her in hand.” Since Elmer received the pills from Philip, he understood the benefits of riding on his coattails. Although the Harrod family was not that clean, no family or guild could claim that they were innocent. “Both he and she must die.” Philip pointed at Lilian and Denzel with disdain. He had not forgotten what Denzel did. At this time, Lilian woke up in disbelief. She never thought that Philip would actually ask the head of the family to kill her. Of course, Denzel was most surprised. Denzel was shocked to hear Philip make that request. He could understand why Philip wanted to kill Lilia
Paco watched in silence and lamented Elmer’s ruthlessness. If Elmer had accepted Paco back then, Terence would not have ended up that way. Although Terence’s bloodline was not good, he would have gotten better after Paco’s careful grooming. However, Elmer forced them to separate and even went as far as to massacre the eagle monster beast clan. Paco was not very strong back then and could watch as his people suffered. Now that he was fully grown, he kept the grudge in his heart. In his opinion, it was better not to mess with humans unless absolutely necessary. Now that energy had been revived, humans had become more powerful. One wrong step and humans would retaliate. Paco had always been a cautious guy. Denzel questioned Philip unhappily as if he was seeking justice. “I’m not killing you because of your bad performance or because you offended me but because you killed everyone in that diner,” Philip said calmly, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. He had t
Practitioners could not figure out the purpose of the existence of mortal beings. To them, there was no difference between mortals and monster beasts. Perhaps mortals were even less than monster beasts. Paco changed his mind after hearing Philip’s words. He thought Philip was a cunning guy at first but later found out that Philip was quite a capable cunning guy. Now, it seemed that it was a misunderstanding. Philip was an ambitious and conscientious practitioner, totally different from these people. “Whether they're normal humans or monster beasts, you have no right to attack them when they did nothing to you!” Philip said angrily. Energy gathered in his right hand, and he grabbed Denzel’s head. Denzel’s consciousness and energy core were shattered into pieces in an instant. Denzel was turned into an ordinary person. “Since you look down on mortals so much, I’ll turn you into one and let you experience the despair of being tortured.” Philip wanted to kill him, but o
Elmer remained indifferent. Denzel was still hopeful. “I hereby announce that Denzel Harrod has been exiled and is no longer a member of the Harrod family!” His voice contained a lot of energy and people within a hundred miles heard this statement. Members of the Harrod family looked up in shock. Although they were not there, they could imagine the severity of this matter. Even though Lilian gave birth to a son with a monster beast, Elmer did not drive her away. What exactly did Denzel do for Elmer to make that decision? Although everyone was puzzled, no one asked. They knew that joining the fun would only land them in trouble. Hence, they decided to stay silent and wait until the incident was over to find out what happened. After issuing the statement to drive Denzel away, Elmer relaxed. The problem that had troubled the family for so long had been resolved, and he thanked Philip from the bottom of his heart. If Philip had not proposed to kill them, Elmer would
“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
