Aslan could not stand this annoying woman any longer. He stepped forward and slapped Martha in the face. Martha immediately calmed down, but her battered face became worse. Philip nodded with satisfaction and agreed with Aslan's approach. Although he wanted to do it, he knew he could not. He was happy that someone did it on his behalf. “Am I safe now?” Martha exclaimed, pleasantly surprised that she was back to safety. Skeeter panicked at Martha’s rescue. “What about me? Save me!” Skeeter had no idea what he should do. It did not look like Emery was going to save him. Skeeter tried to speak to Emery, “Guild Leader!” His voice trembled with anxiety, fearing that Emery would ignore him. If Emery wanted to save him, he would have done so already. However, he took no action and even seemed like he was watching the fun. Skeeter was very worried about his attitude. In fact, Maurice was more worried than Skeeter. He did not expect that Philip would choose to
Skeeter was horrified that Emery would give up on him. As the guild’s senior member, he knew exactly how important his position was. The guild leader had never spoken harshly to him no matter what he did. That gave him all the confidence he needed. However, Emery disappointed him today. Emery was about to give up on an elite weaponsmith such as him. “Guild Leader, I recently found a new method of weaponsmithing. I’m sure that it can replace some traditional methods.” Skeeter was very worried to see Emery ignoring him. He started talking nonsense to display his value. Once he caught Emery’s attention, Emery would save him. The most important thing now was to survive. Even if Emery found out that he was lying, nothing would happen. After all, Emery was very lenient on him. “Cut the crap. An annoying person like you deserves this!” Delia said disdainfully. She had always found Skeeter to be a nasty person. Everyone felt very happy about Skeeter’s comeuppance.
Maurice held back on this attack. Anyone could have stopped the wind blade easily, but no one made a move. Maurice was very puzzled by this bizarre outcome. “What’s going on?” The reactions of the people from the Smith Guild were too strange for words. A member of their guild just died, so why were they smiling brightly as if they were about to pop a champagne to celebrate it? Delia jumped at this scene. Although Delia never interfered in the guild’s affairs, she was aware of Skeeter's thoughts about her. Delia had always been obsessed with good looks, so a short and old man like Skeeter did not attract her at all. However, he pursued Delia shamelessly, always hoping that Emery would marry his daughter to him. He even used various means to threaten Emery. After having had enough of Skeeter, Delia was in a very good mood. Other members could not contain their excitement and jumped for joy too. The biggest villain and troublemaker in their guild was dead! This w
Emery did not expect Philip to make such a decision. Everyone knew that a lot of resources were involved in this. The Pill Guild was an establishment with years of heritage and foundation. Moreover, they had taken over many large and small guilds recently, so they must have accumulated unlimited resources. However, Philip gave it up so casually. His resolve was unbelievable. At least, Emery would not have that fortitude. Maurice trembled in rage upon hearing Philip’s remark. He wished he could rip Philip into pieces. Although he had been defeated, he only lost to Philip! Handing him to Emery was an insult to him! “Wait a minute!” Maurice snapped. Even if he died, it had to be with dignity. Philip turned to Maurice in confusion. “You defeated me, so I can only admit that I’m not as good as you. But what’s the meaning of handing me over to another loser to deal with? Even if I’m going to die, at least let me die with dignity! “We're a reputable guild. You can't hu
Martha laughed at this scene. “Hehe, as I said, you’re nothing but a loser. What else can you do when you can’t even control the people under you?” Maurice was furious at Martha’s sarcasm. She went too far. Maurice glared at Philip and Emery and made a decision. No matter what method he used or what price he paid, he had to leave this place today. As Martha looked at him mockingly, everyone saw a blood mist in front of them. “Oh no, he’s going to self-destruct!” Aslan yelled. He stood in front of Philip warily. Although he knew that Philip would not be injured, he had to perform his duty as an underling. Everyone took action to set up a barrier to resist a practitioner’s self-destruction. Just when everyone thought Maurice would kill everyone by committing suicide, Maurice vanished right under their noses. Everyone was dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. They did not expect Maurice to escape. He consumed a lot of energy to use a blood technique to escap
Montel had nothing to do, so he made a prediction. He found that Martha was in danger, so he looked for her and realized that she had gone missing. According to his prediction, Martha was in dire straits. He deployed everyone to search for Martha in the surrounding area. At this time, Aslan pulled Martha over. “She was kidnapped by a reclusive guild.” Aslan waved his hands unhappily. Montel’s worry was finally lifted, and he quickly called everyone to stop searching. Everyone hurried back after receiving the news, surprised that Martha was actually with Philip. They quickly learned the whole story from Aslan, who was the only talkative one among them. Wynn and Charles stared at Martha ruefully. No one expected Martha to land in such a mess. If Fennel had not rescued Martha in time, the enemy would have used Martha to threaten Philip. Martha knew she was in the wrong too. She did not expect to be targeted by these bad guys. She almost lost her life. However, Ma
Just when Philip was about to explore this place, a group of people approached from a distance. They were chatting as they walked. They were quite a lively bunch. Soon, they bumped into Philip. Philip noticed the stark difference in their clothing. These people were surprised to see Philip standing all alone here. Philip quickly realized that this was a foreign land! With his many years of experience surviving in foreign lands, Philip quickly adjusted to the situation. “Hey, why are you wandering alone in Guzo Forest? It’s very dangerous, you know,” the leader of the group asked doubtfully. This person in front of him was dressed strangely and did not seem to be from around here. Was he seeking refuge? “I came with a team, but we encountered a monster beast and got separated!” Philip quickly made up a random story. The other party did not doubt his words. Philip was clearly a traveling merchant from another city. Only such people would wear this strange attire.
The leader of the group was Granite, a very kind man. He told Philip many things so that he could quickly learn about this place. Philip was very grateful for Granite’s help and became very interested in the Starfall Continent. Philip vowed to visit the Starfall Continent one day. If it was the same place he went back then, he had to seek revenge. As they chatted, Granite noticed Philip’s yearning from time to time. He nervously patted Philip on the shoulder and said solemnly, “Philip, I don't know how strong you are, but this forest alone has given you enough problems. I don’t think you should go to the Starfall Continent! “No matter what backstory or expectations you have, nothing is more important than staying alive!” Philip was touched by his advice and nodded without a word. They quickly arrived at the city, which looked quite prosperous. Many people were lining up at the entrance, waiting to enter the city. Granite gave Philip some money. He knew Philip was broke.
“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
