Several men in black pinned Poppy’s parents to the ground with daggers on their necks. Poppy hesitated at this scene. If Poppy had left without looking back, maybe she might not have been threatened by this. “What are you doing?” Poppy’s eyes filled with tears. “Come at me. Don’t touch my parents!” Poppy ran to the men in black. Poppy's strength had improved greatly, so it should be easy to deal with a few men in black. The men in black did not expect that Poppy would attack them, not to mention her powerful strength. The ones nearest to her did not react in time and were kicked to the ground with their weapons taken away. Poppy was so furious that she picked up the dagger and started slashing at them, ending their lives. Ever since Poppy practiced the skills and techniques given by Philip, she could crush them in all aspects. Poppy was very talented in her practice, and none of the other party’s attacks landed on Poppy at all. In the blink of an eye, Poppy killed
They never thought that their daughter would become so strong, but the outcome was the same. They had captured Poppy and thus could ensure the Wisteria family's safety for decades. It was a fair deal. The patriarch of the Wisteria family stepped out of the darkness. “The two of you are so cruel that you can even harm your daughter,” the patriarch said in disdain. Although he was happy that Poppy had been captured, the couple’s behavior was a disgrace. “Alas, we have no other choice. We’re doing this for the future of the whole family. If sacrificing my daughter can ensure our family’s prosperity, it’s the best choice!” Mrs. Wisteria said with great emotion as if she was very experienced in doing this. Poppy was pinned to the floor miserably. “Miss Poppy!” At this moment, another woman was dragged out by force. She called Poppy pitifully, and she looked as if she had been tortured beyond recognition. Although the other party had wounds all over her body, Poppy recogn
At this moment, Mr. Wisteria exclaimed, “Oh, Poppy gave me a pill earlier to heal my injuries too. The effect is simply incredible. Patriarch, I think you should search Poppy and see if she’s carrying more pills on her.” Mr. Wisteria's suggestion finally broke Poppy’s limit. Poppy sneered when she saw some people eagerly approaching her. “Since I dare to use it openly, it proves that I don't have many on hand. If you really want it, you can get it from my teacher. All my things are at my teacher's place!” Poppy was smart enough to divert the attention. She would be safe if she could direct these people to look for her teacher. After all, Mr. Lindell was staying with Philip, and they could handle any danger together. Poppy was very confident in Philip's strength. Taking care of these losers would be nothing. “Haha, don't worry. We’ll look for your teacher, but not now.” The patriarch seemed to have read Poppy’s thoughts. He waved his hand smugly and ordered his men to se
Poppy still felt a burning pain on her face until now. That slap brought Poppy back to reality. She finally realized what it meant to be alone. The status as the eldest young lady of the Wisteria family sounded very nice, but Poppy had to bear a lot of burden. Poppy knew that she was not up to it. As Poppy was being taken away, Penny explained the situation to her. “It's because of Dustin’s return. Our family wants to join him, so they want to give you to him! At first, they wanted to trick you into staying, but now that you've become so strong, they have to do this instead.” Penny had been tortured for a while and knew the inside story. Poppy sighed. Just a few hours ago, Poppy learned about the conflict between Dustin and her teacher, but the aftermath followed so quickly. “Okay, don't worry. If anything happens, I won’t leave by myself. I’ll definitely take you with me!” Poppy vowed. Poppy had suffered a great blow.… On the other hand, Philip and the others w
Only Philip was able to see through the barrier, so Lyle and the others could only wait for Philip to tell them what he saw. “Poppy is locked up inside the cage,” Philip enunciated each word. Everyone was dumbfounded to hear that. From the looks of it, it was Dustin’s handiwork. Aslan and Lyle wanted to deal with Dustin at once. In their opinion, Dustin was behind this. However, Philip stopped them. “Don’t worry, Poppy is with another woman. They're in pretty good shape, so we don’t have to act rashly for the time being. “Let’s enter the training ground first and try to get close to Dustin to figure out why he captured Poppy.” Philip was a person with great foresight and knew his priorities. Acting rashly now would only ruin all plans. No one objected to Philip’s suggestion. Since Poppy was fine for now, they could wait a little longer. They had time to deal with Dustin after they entered the training ground. “It's a pity that Poppy’s storage ring is with me. She
However, Dustin included Kemp in his plans. “Hehe, you’ll get a chance if you perform well later. I’ve given you the direction, but how much you can get will depend on your ability,” Dustin said. He had aged a lot in the past few days. Therefore, Dustin could hardly wait to absorb some practitioners’ blood essence to maintain his youth. He was prepared to go all out to use an ancient secret technique to summon a legendary existence. Once he summoned it and allowed it to possess him, his strength would increase rapidly and his body functions would return to their youthful state. However, the price was great. He had to sacrifice the blood essence of at least 5,000 practitioners to summon that ancient being. Therefore, he used this training to attract those stupid practitioners to sacrifice their lives for him. “We don’t have to kill everyone. We need to leave a few lucky ones to let everyone know that I’m sincere about recruiting apprentices. So, you have to play your par
Lyle's learning ability was the best Aslan had ever seen. Even Mr. Lindell was no match for him. “Hehe, if I can learn more, I’ll take his place soon enough! I made a bet with him earlier. If I can learn the art of formations or weaponsmith in this duration, he’ll give me the position of senior apprentice!” Lyle said smugly. He would go all out to win this bet. Philip did not comment. He was not bothered about their titles in private. Philip was happy with this learning atmosphere. After some time, they finally reached their destination. Philip and others became solemn. “Philip, do you feel that?” Aslan glanced at Philip seriously. He was in no mood to joke around now. “Of course.” Philip frowned and looked around but found nothing suspicious. As soon as they entered this place, Philip felt something was wrong. The evil energy around them was so strong that it made him feel very uncomfortable. Similarly, Aslan was a monster beast with strong positive energy, so
“That damn geezer just left us here?” Aslan snorted, feeling that the evil energy was getting stronger. Lyle frowned as he looked around warily. “That guy must have mastered the method to open the training ground. Once the place is activated, the surrounding evil energy will become more and more intense, and all sorts of monsters and evil spirits will appear soon,” Philip quickly guessed the situation. He quickly took out his weapon and stood ready, and the others followed his cue. Everyone was certain that Dustin was up to no good. Although the others were scared, they followed Philip’s cue. They held their weapons nervously and carefully observed their surroundings. The timid women formed a team of their own, worried about their safety. At this time, a man stepped forward heartily. “What are you guys afraid of? We just need to kill some evil spirits. Isn’t it a piece of cake for practitioners?” He looked at the trembling women with disdain and annoyance. The women
Seeing the woman’s horror, Philip scratched his head awkwardly. He did not expect that her reaction would be so intense. “Don't worry, I'm not a good person.” After saying that, Philip sat down nonchalantly as if he was not worried about this powerful woman. Seeing Philip’s disregard for her, the woman was so angry that she could barely speak.“As you can see, I’m one of those humans,” Philip introduced himself. Philip had nothing to hide. His identity was no secret. “So, you’re one of those disgusting humans. You look quite strong. Since you found me, I’ll accept my fate. Just kill me if you want. There’s no need to insult me any further.” This woman was quite interesting. She jerked her chin up as if she was ready to let Philip kill her. Philip sighed at her reaction. Why was someone so eager to die? “I don’t want to kill you. I’m just curious about you. I just arrived at Deadly Arena recently,” Philip said to the other party sincerely. He was very curious about the
“You’re right, someone is controlling these beasts behind the scenes. Although I don’t know if the culprit is a powerful beast or a guild, they're not to be trifled with.” Philip did not hide this information but asked his men to take action. Since they were already here, they had to ensure their safety. No one would be exempted if anything happened. “You can join in the fight, but don’t try too hard. Just kill a few beasts and wait until I get to the bottom of this,” Philip said to his people. He was afraid that his men would work too hard but end up with nothing. Everyone nodded solemnly at Philip’s instructions. They quickly joined the battlefield and casually swung their weapons around, killing the arrogant beasts. Due to their strength, they easily crushed the beasts without much effort. As the fight reached its peak, Philip observed the source of the beast stampede. “Do you see that? The beasts are coming from that direction, and they’re clearly well-organized and d
Philip noticed the change and frowned at the mysterious man, whose expression changed drastically. “This is bad. I’ve never heard this alarm before.” After saying this, he invited Philip to go with him to Deadly Arena to find out what happened. They arrived at Deadly Arena and saw everyone staring ahead nervously as if waiting for someone to speak. Philip’s guild members noticed his return and approached him nervously. Aslan ran up to Philip worriedly. “Philip, I asked around and found something wrong. Deadly Arena is a dangerous place because it’s situated next to the beast forest. This situation has happened from time to time in the past, but no one was bothered. They’d even organize teams to hunt the beasts and Deadly Arena would provide rewards for this.” Philip roughly understood the situation from Aslan’s explanation. Since Deadly Arena had been managing this place for so long, they had taken responsibility for the safety issue. Once the beasts appeared, they would ensu
Argent thought he had come up with a good plan to set Philip up, but he was the fool who was kept in the dark in the end. Philip smiled at Argent’s angry departure and invited the mysterious man to his room. Although Philip chatted with him earlier, he did not know much about him. Philip could tell that the man had concealed his true appearance. Philip was curious to see what would happen. The mysterious man noticed Philip’s anticipation but simply stared at him in silence. Philip wanted to know his identity and purpose for coming here. “I really think highly of you. It’d be best if you could join me.” He knew that Philip would not give in so easily, so his rationality told him to give up. “It’s impossible for me to join you, but I’m curious about your situation. I believe you have a grudge against that guy or you wouldn’t resent him so much.” Philip smiled at the guy. He knew that the grudge between the two was very deep. The mysterious man was surprised that Philip
In Argent’s opinion, Philip was a prideful person and would never accept this proposal. “Of course, you have the right to refuse. I just want to see what you think.” The mysterious man smiled at Philip brightly as if he did not mind Philip’s rejection.Seeing the mysterious man’s attitude, Argent was afraid that his plan would fail. Philip was not a fool. He could tell at a glance that the two people in front of him were not on the same side. Everyone had their own agendas. “In that case, I have to refuse. I’m sorry, but I’m used to leading a carefree life. Besides, I have my own force, so I won’t join other teams.” A trace of regret flashed in the other party's eyes. He was surprised to hear that Philip was capable enough to form a team of his own. “I’m surprised that you’re so strong at such a young age. In that case, I won’t make things difficult for you. Maybe we can become friends instead.” The mysterious man quickly made small talk with Philip. He clearly had some idea
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
