Martha was an ordinary person and could never escape their clutches. Even if they did not supervise her, there was no worry about this woman running away. “Let's go in and take a look. Don't waste time on this old woman.” Some members urged. They wanted to take a break after this. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Skeeter quickly sneaked out. He looked at the stupid members and sneered inwardly. ‘Hehe, what a bunch of idiots. No one suspected that the woman was just bait. I wonder how they got this far?’ Skeeter sneered and taunted them inwardly. He marched to the entrance and saw some members drinking tea. He was dumbfounded. He thought everyone was inside looking for him, but they left a few guards outside. The members saw Skeeter and were at a loss for what to do. “How did this guy escape?” “I don’t know. We were drinking tea. I didn’t notice how he made his way out.” “What are you waiting for? Don’t let him escape!” The members quickly discussed how to
Members of the Pill Guild were infuriated by Skeeter’s smugness and wondered how he could be so annoying. “Let’s teach him a good lesson!” “How dare he show his ugly face in front of us? How shameless!” “Is he older than Martha? We actually beat up an old man today.” “What’s the big deal with an old man? He deserves it!” “We don't know who this guy is anyway. He’s just a loser our elder picked up.” Everyone chatted with no intention of stopping. Skeeter overheard the conversation and understood. These people were so brazen because they did not know how noble his status was. “You don’t know my identity?!” Skeeter roared and struggled. Everyone was puzzled and wondered. “I’m the senior member of the Smith Guild, Skeeter! You guys are bullying me with your numbers! Do you know the consequences of messing with the Smith Guild?” Skeeter shouted angrily as if to hide his pain. Everyone was surprised by this coincidence. The elder simply grabbed a random person who tur
They hurried back to make some plans to attack. They saw Skeeter standing aside smugly. This man looked very triumphant with disdain written all over his face. Skeeter scowled at the new arrivals and asked, “Who are you?” He felt as if he had full control over these guys, but another group of people turned up again. They seemed like ordinary people with no practice levels. Skeeter nudged the member next to him and pointed at Maurice. “Tell this guy who I am,” Skeeter said unhappily. Fortunately, he had recruited several followers, which saved him a lot of trouble. As the senior member of the Smith Guild, he could go anywhere he wanted, and no one dared to do anything to him—at least in the practice world. The so-called followers were amazed by Skeeter’s audacity. Besides, who was Skeeter to give them orders? The members walked up to Maurice and greeted him. They were not as brainless as Skeeter. Maurice was their guild leader. No matter how stupid they were, t
“But I can’t tell you much about it. Every guild has its secrets, you know.” Skeeter spoke pretentiously, which not only highlighted his status but also prevented Maurice from asking more questions. Maurice was very satisfied with Skeeter’s reaction. “Okay, since you know so much, it’s better for us.” He waved his hand as a signal for his people to capture Skeeter. Everyone was quick on the uptake and understood his meaning. The members swarmed over and knocked the pretentious guy down. Skeeter was not very strong to begin with, and after consuming a lot of energy in the fight earlier, he was all the more unable to resist. Skeeter was pinned pathetically to the floor. He struggled to look up and said, “What are you guys doing? Do you remember who I am? You’ll end up dead if you dare to mess with the Smith Guild!” Skeeter was very angry that these people would dare to do this after knowing his identity. “Which guild do you belong to? Don’t think I’m afraid of you j
“It’d be great if the leader of the Smith Guild had your self-awareness.” Maurice smiled smugly. “Bring that woman here!” he said. Now that the hostages were in place, it was time to put the plan into action. The people from the Pill Guild marched to the Smith Guild.… Meanwhile, no one realized that Skeeter was missing. Skeeter was not a popular person, and his presence was not conspicuous. Everyone would feel better if he stayed away from them, so no one thought of looking for him even though he had been missing for a while. Philip and the others quickly came up with some plans, totally disregarding Skeeter’s unfounded plan. His plan was just to charge forward recklessly without thinking, but the Smith Guild was not the best at fighting. While there was still time, Philip led a team to set up a small formation. Delia learned seriously, afraid that she would miss something if she got distracted. Philip set up a formation in front of everyone, and Delia quickly
Maurice and his people had arrived at the Smith Guild. At first, they thought of attacking from the air, but they could not do so when they arrived in this area. It was difficult for them to walk, not to mention flying. Maurice was unwilling to give up and forced himself to remain standing. He would never kneel here. However, this was not a matter of sheer will but his physical ability. With a thud, Maurice fell to his knees. Everyone was shocked and hurried to help him up. They scowled as they found themselves kneeling next to Maurice the next second. They realized that they could no longer control their bodies. Maurice scowled as he guessed something. “Damn it, these people actually came up with a formation!” Maurice never expected this. Maurice was aware that the Smith Guild was learned in the art of formations, but he never thought that this formation was so powerful. Anyone wanting to attack them would be trapped inside, while anyone with peace of mind co
Having realized this, Emery was quite lighthearted. Whether the plan succeeded or not, he had nothing to fear with Philip around. At this time, Maurice was worried, and his people were panicking. They entered the formation by mistake, and everyone had suffered various wounds. This formation could attack them, resulting in various injuries. Everyone had the idea of retreating. They did not expect that a small formation could be so powerful. Delia was pleasantly surprised at their misery. So what if it was an ordinary formation? They could not escape from it. Everyone was frustrated about the formation around them. Maurice was all the angrier that this protection barrier was so powerful. “Damn it, why didn’t they use such a powerful formation earlier? Maurice said solemnly, trying to think of a way out. Everyone was flustered by his words. They would be dead if Maurice could not find a way out. Skeeter and Martha looked at each other as they stood behind the c
With their energy cores destroyed, there was no way they could continue practicing. Ordinary people could not make pills. Maurice could not bear losing half his members in one go. “Damn it, you went too far!” Maurice could not bear it anymore and started attacking the formation without qualms. He believed that as long as his attacks were stronger than the formation, he could escape. Philip and the others felt that they were very pitiful too. Seeing the heavy casualties, Philip deactivated the formation without hesitation. He did not expect that the formation he found in the book would be so powerful. This result had exceeded his imagination. The remaining opponents could hardly pose a threat to the Smith Guild now. The people trapped in the formation watched helplessly as Maurice attacked the formation frantically. Everyone pinned all their hopes on Maurice. Maurice was badly attacked by the formation and kept throwing up blood. Several of his ribs were broken.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“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
