Although Bruno caught hold of Mila, she did not show any fear at all. He even saw a hint of excitement in her eyes. Was she really a little girl? A normal little girl should run away or cry in fright at the sight of a vicious person like him. Why did she look as if she saw prey? Before Bruno could react, Mila sprang into action. She slapped Bruno, but Bruno took no notice of her seemingly half-hearted attack. How powerful would a slap be? As Bruno was just about to warn Mila, he felt gusts of cold wind sweeping over him. The cold wind from hell was about to freeze him. This gust of cold wind suddenly appeared during such hot weather. Bruno felt as if he were in the terrifying pits of hell. Bruno was distracted by the strange phenomenon and did not notice the slap approaching him. By the time he reacted, the slap had hit his face. Bruno was dumbfounded by the slap. Was he just slapped in the face? When he was about to kick Mila, Bruno was frozen into an ice
Mila blinked innocently and wondered why her father was covering her eyes. “Do you have to go that far? Even if you can’t beat her, you don’t have to resort to such despicable means,” Philip said in disgust. This guy should be deemed a social outcast for this behavior. Bruno did not realize his situation. He stared at Philip blankly and warily, wondering what Philip was up to. Bruno felt that Philip had something to say. “Just speak your mind. Be a man and stop being so secretive. You must be curious about my increase in strength. Since we're no strangers to each other, I can forgive your past mistakes if you beg for my mercy and crawl between my legs,” Bruno said smugly. He knew that Philip would give in. True experts only needed one move to determine the outcome. There was no need to fight any further. Philip must have seen his move and felt that he was too difficult to deal with, so he chose to surrender. Sweat dotted Philip’s forehead. “I know even if you don’t
The move just now was just a small test of Mila's skills. Mila was a smart girl and knew exactly what to do. When facing an unknown enemy, she had to test the opponent first. She could only win the fight by knowing her enemy, which was something Philip taught her. Mila was not nervous about facing Bruno. His demonic energy was so strong that it would inevitably increase his strength, but Mila would also get stronger as she fought. Philip watched silently from the side. He knew that Mila was no match for Bruno. The great increase in Bruno’s strength was very weird. Before Mila could take the first strike, Bruno released a burst of black energy that surrounded Mila. Mila’s practice level caught his eye. She had to be very talented to have that strength at such a young age. If he could devour this little girl, his strength would definitely increase greatly. At the same time, he also felt jealous of Mila's talent. How could a mere elementary school student becom
Mila shook her head and said, “Dad, I just feel a little tired. I want to take a nap.” Philip nodded. Mila was not seriously injured and could regain most of her energy after a good sleep. Philip took out a pill and stuffed it into Mila's mouth. “Take this pill and you’ll return to normal after a good rest. Remember, don’t engage with these weird practitioners if you meet them again in the future,” Philip reminded Mila. Mila could deal with other practitioners easily, but Bruno was different. Bruno was oddly powerful, and the technique he used was quite bizarre. His objective was not to defeat his opponent but to suck his opponent’s energy. Bruno was probably not very proficient at this technique yet, which gave Philip an advantage. It would be terrifying once Bruno developed further. Bruno had reached a half-step to the other shore and was considered a very powerful existence. At this rate, he would become a threat to Philip one day. Philip took Mila back to the vi
Everyone thought that their research would never succeed, but this guild made it! No one knew whether this was good or bad, but everyone was unhappy. If that was the case, all practitioners would be in danger. They might end up as nutrients and tools for the other party to improve their strength. “They probably have to defeat their opponent to absorb their energy, so everyone has to buck up.” Philip briefly explained his discovery before he went to Mila’s room. Mila was worried that Philip would be angry with her and was sobbing quietly in Wynn’s arms. Philip entered the door and felt his heart aching when he saw Mila crying. “Hey baby, don’t cry. Why are you so upset?” Philip was nervous and puzzled. He did not do anything to her. Mila choked and replied, “I didn’t listen to you and beat up that bad man without your permission. I ended up in danger and made you worried! “I feel very guilty and sad. If you couldn’t beat that guy, we would've been dead by now!” A
Philip slammed the box shut and gently stroked Mila’s head. “Mila, I have something else to do. You and your mom should have an early night.” Philip kissed Mila on the head and left the room after saying goodbye. He was very interested in this thing and wanted to take a closer look at it. Philip went to his room, which was not far away. He walked to the desk, carefully opened the wooden box, and took out the parchment scroll. He unfolded the parchment and saw that it was a map of an island. Philip was puzzled. He searched around the box and finally found a small, inconspicuous piece of paper, which was stuck in a crack in the wood. It was almost unnoticeable. It looked very old with a line of words written on it—'West Ocean Island'. Philip stared at the words silently. He had never heard of this place before. Obviously, it referred to the island map on the parchment. Philip switched on the map application on his mobile phone and found this island. However, t
The Zucker family had always made a living by fortune telling, so their practice talent was strong, and their ability was stronger. Montel believed they should discover something. Aslan stood in front of Philip silently, waiting for his order. As a monster beast on land, he disliked islands, but he would never disobey Philip’s orders. However, Philip did not intend to take him along this time. “That island is indeed dangerous, but this place will be even more dangerous if you guys don’t stand guard here.” At this point, Philip glanced at Fennel. Fennel and Aslan were the strongest here. If Bruno turned up with his people, they would be the strongest fighting force. “I’ll leave the rest to you guys. Most of you have received a heritage and have become better at fighting, but you’ll be up against people of the demonic path next. Their strength can't be underestimated,” Philip said solemnly. He did not know when Bruno would return, but now that he had found out about t
Rather than sit and wait, it was better to flee! Martha packed her bags in the night and left the villa in a hurry. Everyone had things to worry about, so no one noticed Martha's departure. Early the next morning, Philip left without saying goodbye to anyone. Wynn lay on the bed silently, feeling helpless as Philip kissed her fleetingly before leaving. Wynn yearned for a life where she could be with Philip every day, but she knew it was not realistic. Philip had a vengeance waiting for him, and he had to face various crises now. Wynn hoped that Philip could grow stronger quickly and take care of everything. Once Philip was strong enough, the life she yearned for would not be far. “You have to come back safely.” Wynn was nervous as she looked in the direction Philip left. Philip soon arrived at the airport and purchased a luxurious travel package. He had to go through a series of checkpoints before reaching a place like that. Montel mentioned offhandedly about a
“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
