At this point, Buck no longer saw Philip as an ordinary person but as a god. “Are you a practitioner?” Buck asked Philip curiously. Buck always had a smile on his face, even when facing a crisis now. Philip had a good feeling about that. “Aren't you one too?” Philip smiled without much reaction. Buck had reached the peak of the seventh zone, just a step away from a half-step to the other shore. With a little effort, he should be able to reach that level before forty. Philip had assessed Buck. Although he was quite old, his ability was quite good compared to an ordinary practitioner. On the other hand, Rich was almost 30 and still acted like a playboy. With his weak abilities, he might not even reach a half-step to the other shore by the end of his life. “Your practice level is higher than mine at your young age. I feel embarrassed,” Buck said in embarrassment. He admired Philip from the bottom of his heart. Philip kept a low profile even though he was so strong. H
Reality proved Rich wrong. The other party simply relied on his strength to withstand that wave of attack. It was amazing for them to be so strong. Rich would be safe if Philip and Buck could protect him. Rich dragged his injured body and quickly found Philip. He felt that Philip and Buck were kind folks. They would protect him if he pleaded with them. “Hey, guys.” Rich forced a smile, trying to get into Philip’s good books. However, Philip ignored him. He was clearly an ignorant and arrogant loser. Taking him along would only drag Philip down. Buck glanced at Philip and immediately understood his intention. He was under Philip’s protection, so he would never offer to protect Rich without Philip’s consent. Besides, Buck did not like Rich’s arrogance either. Rich was nervous and angry when they ignored him. However, his anger disappeared at the sight of the huge octopus not far away. Nothing was more important than staying alive. As for seeking vengeance agai
As the guardian monster beast of the portal, the octopus would never allow anyone to steal the portal. Since it could not find the culprit, no one could leave today. Before the octopus could attack them again, Rich suddenly had an idea and rushed in front of the octopus. “My lord, I’m sure you can understand me!” His attitude was very sincere, and he was just as shameless as a lapdog. Everyone was dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. The octopus was astounded by this human’s stupidity. Did he think a negotiation was possible? “We have a powerful expert here. Although you’re strong, we may not necessarily lose to you!” Rich was nervous and yelled at the octopus aggressively, trying to use Philip to intimidate the octopus. Philip was amused by his actions but remained silent. He wanted to see what would happen. If this problem could be resolved effortlessly, it would be best. Sure enough, the octopus fell silent. As an intelligent monster beast, it knew what
The rays of light that entered their bodies were not poison or a curse but slivers of its own aura. The octopus could track down their locations anywhere in the world through this aura. It then disappeared into the ocean. As calmness resumed on the water's surface, Rich sat down on the ground and gasped for breath. He did not expect to encounter this scene. Fortunately, he managed to convince the octopus to leave them in peace, or the three of them would be dead by now. He looked at Philip and Buck triumphantly. “See, you still have to rely on me at the critical moment. You two didn't play any role at all. I was the one who forced the octopus back!” He glanced at Buck and Philip with disdain and provocation. Rich sneered and went to a cabin nearby to retrieve his girlfriend's backpack. Her mobile phone was inside. He took out the mobile phone and found that the signal was back to normal. Rich called for a plane to pick him up. He did not want to stay in this pla
The monster beast's aura trembled as if it had encountered a tough opponent. Seeing this scene, Philip knew that his energy could devour the aura. Before he could do that, Verge Tower sent a signal to Philip. Verge Tower seemed very interested in this thing. After thinking about it, Philip wrapped the aura in his energy and took it away. Since Verge Tower wanted this aura so much, he would oblige. Very soon, the other sliver of aura appeared in Verge Tower. The two auras quickly merged into one powerful aura. The aura circled Verge Tower as if playing with it. Philip glanced at Rich but had no intention of helping him. He did not want to help an arrogant and undeserving guy like him. Rich was not bothered. He could not even sense the monster beast's aura. Rich was very weak, unlike a practitioner at all. The monster beast's aura was very strong and could conceal its presence in his energy core very well, so it was normal that Rich could not detect it. He tho
The octopus would be fully prepared to deal with them next time. If the octopus was really the so-called guardian of the treasure, it would not be long before it went after Rich. With no one to protect him, Rich would be dead in the face of such a powerful monster beast. Rich scowled at Philip. He had said so much, but Philip acted like a mute and deaf person. He ignored Rich's sarcasm and was unwilling to reply. “Hey, I'm talking to you!” Rich was furious. He wanted to infuriate Philip so that Philip would reveal his identity, but he did not take the bait. In desperation, he had no choice but to focus on Buck. This guy seemed pretty chill, but he was human, not a saint. He could hardly hide his emotions and desires. If Rich stooped low enough, he should be able to make Buck angry. “Hey, Fatty, what are you doing here? Since you turned down my offer to join me, what gives you the right to board the same plane as me?” Rich was clearly trying to make a mountain out of
Rich told them everything he knew while Buck nodded along. He knew about it too and was here for the excitement because of this legend. However, there was no excitement, and he even suspected that it was a scam. “So? Did anyone find the treasure?” Philip joked. Of course, he knew the treasure mentioned had to be the one he found. Now that it was in his hands, no one else could ever find it. The other two shook their heads ruefully. “It’d be great if I found it. I feel like we've fallen for a scam. How could there be such an amazing treasure? And that rumor about opening another time and space? Simply ridiculous.” Rich sneered, not believing a word of it. He was skeptical at first and even more annoyed now. He vowed to catch the person who spread the rumor and teach him a good lesson so that he would not dare to say another word from now on. Philip looked at Buck. Rich was unreliable, and he wanted to hear from Buck. Buck shook his head helplessly. He found nothi
It was nothing but an abandoned security door! Philip was speechless. After going through all that trouble, the treasure he found was nothing but a piece of junk that was not worth a second look. However, he treated it as a treasure and put it in Verge Tower because he found it on West Ocean Island. Philip felt insulted by this result, but he was not an impulsive person. There had to be a reason why this ugly security door was there. Without thinking twice, Philip simply shut the door and withdrew his consciousness from Verge Tower.The door stood resolutely in a corner of Verge Tower. The monster beast's aura, which had been purified by Verge Tower, circled the door curiously. After the purification, the aura no longer contained any aggression or awareness of the monster beast. Although Philip could still feel the presence of the monster beast in this aura, it was completely separate from the octopus. In other words, Philip could use this aura to conceal his presence.
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
