Everyone discussed the topic with interest, wondering about the severity of this matter. Only Philip knew what had happened. Everything was caused by the beasts because they wanted to deal with the skeletons. The other skeletons did indeed disappear after three attacks. However, Dustin’s presence changed everything. He had taken too many lives and created many resentful spirits. These spirits were teleported out through the sealed door and wreaked havoc everywhere, causing heavy casualties. Although Philip did not suffer much loss, it was serious for other practitioners and ordinary people. After taking care of everything, Philip took them back to the real world, and everyone else went home. The people of Mistral Temple thanked Philip before leaving. They knew that they would never have escaped without Philip's help. Not to mention the sealing stone provided by Philip, if Philip did not help them at the critical moment, Mistral Temple might have ceased to exist. Phi
“I can become a henchman or a lecturer, but don’t assign a position to me. I'm just an ordinary person.” Fennel was afraid of hassle. He would rather roam the world freely than take up a position like a dean. Everyone looked at Wynn with blazing eyes. This position was obviously hers. Philip took Wynn's hand gently. “Everyone voted for you because they trust you, and I trust you too, so giving this position to you is the best choice.” Philip knew he was very busy and had let his family down, so Philip had always doted on Wynn. Wynn mustered her courage from Philip’s unwavering trust in her. “Okay, since you’re willing to trust me, I’ll give it a try. I’ll do my best.” After saying this, Wynn clenched her fists nervously, panicking inside. After taking care of things, Philip took a few people back to Guzo Continent, where many things were waiting for him to deal with. At this time, Martha ran out of the villa sneakily. The world had returned to normal by now. Altho
Martha had always been very ambitious. Maybe she might give up at the thought of spending so much time practicing. Sure enough, Wynn’s remarks deterred Martha a little. “What? But your students can become practitioners so easily! And each of them has mastered quite a few tricks too!” Martha felt as if she had been scammed. After all, the kids did not look like talented practitioners. There had to be a reason that they could turn from ordinary people into powerful practitioners. Hearing that, Wynn simply sighed and walked away without further comment. Since Wynn ignored Martha, the others quickly left too. After staying together for so long, everyone knew what a difficult person Martha was. Chatting with her was no different from seeking death. Everyone quickly got busy while Philip brought some people back to the Guzo Continent. The Guzo Continent was very lively at this moment. They were right in the middle of the excitement in Imperial City. Aslan pushed the d
“Come over here if you want to register, but we want to remind you that you’ll be sent to a dangerous place for training upon successful registration, and you may die there! “Only people who pass the training successfully will have a chance to be accepted as an apprentice. We won’t bear responsibility for any casualties!” The person in charge of registration announced loudly and kept emphasizing the point. Although his warning sounded very scary, everyone thought it was an opportunity. People would die eventually anyway. It would be best if they could live a different life. “Does that guy have a different training approach?” Aslan wondered what training channel Dustin had. “Philip, should we give it a try?” Aslan was interested in this so-called training. Philip was wary because he felt it was more than met the eye. “Go ahead and sign up for both of us. I want to see what other tricks he has up his sleeve. Is he trying to use these people as blood sacrifices again?” P
Everyone in the residence heard Dustin’s angry roar and trembled in fear, not daring to mess with him at this time. Philip had brought the maids in captivity back to the Guzo Continent. Philip had promised them earlier that he would take them home if they waited for him. When Philip came out of the grave, they were in the same spot. Since they were so obedient, Philip did not break his promise and brought them back. However, he gave everyone a pill to erase all the unwanted memories. The maids quickly returned to their homes. They had been away for such a long time that everyone was homesick. At this time, Dustin’s apprentice spotted one of the maids who was hurrying home. He clearly remembered that this maid worked for his teacher, and based on Dustin’s character, he would have killed all of them before he returned. However, this woman was alive and kicking and about to go home. As Dustin's most loyal apprentice, Kemp was puzzled and followed the maid. “Stop!” Ke
Kemp was a turncoat. Although he seemed loyal now, he had started plotting against Dustin. Philip and the others did not know about this. They had signed up by now. Aslan stood next to Philip with the registration form and said doubtfully, “Is that it for the registration?” Dustin's apprenticeship registration was easier than anything he had experienced. “We need to go through various tests and review our talents when we join a guild, but we only need to fill in our names and contact details here?” Aslan laughed. Everything felt like a dream. Philip nodded solemnly. Everything smelled fishy. Dustin would never do this for no reason. “An engraver is such a mysterious profession.” Philip felt a little curious about this profession. He was repulsed by the idea of carving spells on a person’s body. A practitioner’s body could heal very quickly. After the engraved spells disappear, the effects would also vanish, bringing everything back to square one. In Philip's opini
“When my teacher comes back, let him give you a pill to erase your memories of those unnecessary things! “You’re not as smart as others. See, that little guy chose to forget those crappy things, but you want to remember everything clearly!” Mr. Lindell reprimanded his beloved apprentice. However, it was obvious that Mr. Lindell did not really mean it. Lyle shook his head helplessly. Mr. Lindell always spoke about him, making him embarrassed. “Mr. Lindell, please stop saying that. I’ve taken Philip as my teacher, so I didn't mind getting rid of my memories.” Although Lyle had a sharp tongue, he chose to defend Poppy. Philip laughed at their harmonious interaction. “You guys are getting along better than I thought during my absence.” Philip thought there would probably be some minor conflicts because of Lyle’s sharp tongue, but that was not the case. They were a little too harmonious. “Philip, you’re back. That’s great.” Lyle rushed to Philip expectantly, surprised th
Philip teased, curious about Mr. Lindell’s secret. Mr. Lindell hesitated but took a deep breath and decided to tell them the truth. “To be honest, Dustin is my younger brother. We chose different paths in our early days because we had different thoughts in life. I never liked his profession very much. In my opinion, it’s a sick profession.” Mr. Lindell looked at the sky with despair and helplessness. Everyone was curious about the story between Mr. Lindell and Dustin, especially the two young kids watching the excitement. As a nosy parker, Aslan moved forward curiously and sat on a stool in front of Mr. Lindell. Seeing their interest, Mr. Lindell laughed and said, “Since you guys are so curious, I’ll tell you about it!” Following that, Mr. Lindell told them the story about him and his inadequate brother. He seemed very disappointed with Dustin from the bottom of his heart. “This profession of his requires a lot of effort and is harmful to the human body, which is someth
“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
