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
“You!” Dace stood and glared at Lyle angrily, at a loss for what to do. How could he fight when he did not have a weapon? At this time, Lyle began to wonder if he really was a practitioner. “Is the saber your true form?” Lyle scorned. Dace did not even know how to attack without his weapon, simply standing on the spot blankly like a fool. Philip laughed at Lyle’s disdain. As expected, the little guy he valued was arrogant, indeed. “That’s enough, the evil spirits are coming.” Philip patted Lyle on the shoulder, not wanting to waste time here. Hearing that, Lyle tossed the weapon back to Dace. Although that guy was annoying, Lyle did not want to see him killed so easily. Dace grabbed his weapon from the air and held it in his arms tightly. He stroked his saber nervously and checked it carefully for any damage. Although he was a practitioner, he was always cooped up at home, popping pills and meditating. He hardly had any combat experience. As a kid from a
A woman rushed to Lyle in a panic and begged him to help her. “Young man, please save me. The monsters are scary!” Although their weapons could deal with evil spirits, it took a lot of time and energy. No one could kill an evil spirit with one slash like Philip. Lyle was annoyed by this woman seeking help. “Get lost!” Lyle roared and continued fighting. There were too many evil spirits around. They had to keep fighting. Dace saw the actions of Philip and others and felt envious. He wondered why his sword was so lousy. Although others were envious and jealous of Philip, they did not give up or ask for help. Philip was quite happy with this atmosphere. He randomly selected a few stronger people with good attitudes and gave them some weapons. The weapons were made by his students. Although not as good as his weapon, they could still play a role. At this time, Philip noticed someone who did not stop fighting. This person's weapon seemed to contain some sacred powe
Some people chose to buy weapons from Philip. Philip was not a philanthropist. He only sold weapons to people with better hopes of survival and ignored those who stood no chance. Dace nervously approached Philip. Although he was still headstrong, his gaze and tone were milder. “Um, can you sell me one?” Dace said nervously. He had conflicts with Philip’s subordinate, and Philip had reason to refuse. He glanced at Dace with interest. He did not expect that Dace would survive until now. Seeing his tenacity, Philip took out a big saber without hesitation. “Although you’re arrogant, I think you have hope to survive. If you can make it alive, stop following Dustin, and don’t fall into his trap.” Philip did not take his money but gave him a piece of advice. Lyle smiled. He was quick to make enemies but held no grudges. This guy had not really messed with him, so there was no grudge between them. Since Dace's desire to survive was so strong, Lyle did not object either. “
At this time, the woman who asked for help earlier approached Aslan. “Hey there, can you share some of your food with me?” Aslan felt disgusted with her feigned daintiness. This woman was far from his monster beast beauties. “What are you doing?” Aslan moved away in disgust. He did not want any physical contact with this woman. “I can do anything as long as you give me a bite!” Maybe she saw a change in Aslan’s attitude, but the woman increased her advances. “If you give me some protection, I’ll be yours!” In fact, she wanted more than a bite. It would be nothing if Philip and the others were eating normal meat, but it was beast meat. Judging from the aroma and the abundant energy in the meat, it had to be premium meat. One could restore a lot of energy with one meal, and that would be a lifesaver in such a dangerous place. More and more people abandoned their dignity to beg for a piece of meat at the expense of their chastity, but unfortunately, none of the thr
Meanwhile, it was busy at the Hexa Guild. This was the guild Hogster belonged to. The people of the guild were arrogant and never took anyone seriously. Due to limited strength, however, they only bullied weaker guilds and avoided the stronger ones. The powerful guilds were the objects of their pursuit, so they thought the Celestial Palace was in the bag for sure. After all, their young heir was about to marry the Celestial Palace’s young heiress, which would in turn raise the Hexa Guild's status. Thus, they saw themselves as the top guild and felt that they would definitely win the guild competition. The guild leader was jubilant as he waited for the Celestial Palace’s explanation. Since both parties had reached an agreement regarding marriage, the Celestial Palace had breached the contract by letting the young heiress run away, so they had to give the Hexa Guild an explanation. At that time, the Hexa Guild could rip them off by demanding compensation. The guild leader was v
“Hey, you! Go and report this situation to my dad. Tell him to come and save me. I’ll die if he doesn’t hurry!” Hogster kicked the person next to him and told him to seek reinforcements. The others were nervous and did not dare to go out at all. Who knew if someone was keeping an eye on them? What if they encountered a problem after they left? No one wanted to risk their lives for no reason. They were just normal guild members. “I think Neil is the fastest among us. He should go!” “I agree. Neil is very fast. There’ll be no problem with his speed!” “We’ll cover up for him. Neil, make it quick. You have to find someone to save all of us!” Everyone focused their attention on Neil, whose scowl grew bigger by the second. He was shocked by their shamelessness in pushing this job to him. Who knew what would happen if he went out? He would be dead in no time if he bumped into those villains. He gulped at this thought. “I think we should just sit and wait for reinforcements. Thes
More importantly, marriage would make the guilds stronger. Most large guilds would not choose a casual practitioner for marriage. The value of their women had to be stretched to the largest extent. Vanna was no different, but she was lucky to have parents who doted on her, so her occasional wilfulness was overlooked. Vanna would not suffer any repercussions even if she decided on her marriage herself. “That guy is quite powerful. I had to do my best to knock him out. He’s quite talented, but his face looks weird. No wonder he has the confidence to demand marriage.” Rabbit marveled mockingly. After saying that, Rabbit jumped onto Hogster's head provocatively. Hogster and his men had been knocked out, so they could not witness this humiliating scene, but even if they did, they would not have been able to do anything anyway. With Rabbit’s ability, they could only endure it no matter how much they wanted revenge. Their only option was to go back and seek reinforcements or Rabbit wo
Rabbit looked at Hogster’s wounded head smugly. “Oh, I thought you were very strong. So, this is what a member of a strong guild is like. Maybe I thought too highly of you. With that ability, you might as well be a farmer!” Rabbit taunted Hogster. On the other hand, Carlos was shocked. He had heard that this rabbit was very strong, but this was beyond his imagination. Hogster was still in a daze. He clutched his head and glowered at Rabbit. Just as he was about to speak, something big appeared in Rabbit’s hand. He was shocked when he saw the object clearly. It was a huge hammer. It was weird to see a small rabbit holding such a big hammer. Before Hogster could say anything, Rabbit swung the hammer in his face, hitting Hogster so hard that he was dumbfounded. Hogster passed out in shame. Even then, he could not figure out how a rabbit could be so unreasonable and powerful. Suddenly, Carlos became thoughtful, wondering how strong Philip was. Someone who could subdue such a
While Vanna was blaming herself for messing up, she heard a lot of commotion at the door, which attracted her to watch the fun. Unexpectedly, the joke was on her. Vanna recognized the man in front of her due to the irreconcilable conflict between them. Vanna was vexed at the sight of that ugly face. “You’re really persistent, stalking me wherever I go. I’m telling you, I have no interest in you. Stop following me! I’ll never be with you. Besides, I’m married now.” Vanna walked forward and held Ronan’s arm intimately. Hogster scowled at the sight. Vanna was no longer ugly, which proved that he was too late. He was shocked by Vanna’s audacity to be with someone else. It was simply outrageous. “Marriage should be decided by your parents and elders. Both our parents have reached an agreement about our marriage. How could you disobey them? Doing so will only break your parents’ hearts!” Hogster shook his head helplessly. Although Vanna had become someone else's woman, he still wan
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of a talking rabbit, and it was very expressive too. Someone who did not know the situation would think that it was a human! On the way here, they heard some rumors about this rabbit having an amazing storage space. It sounded spectacular, but no one believed it. After all, even people of their status could not get a storage space. How could a mere rabbit own such a legendary treasure? Hence, everyone was surprised to see Rabbit for themselves. “Sir, is that the mysterious and powerful rabbit that was rumored outside? Why don’t we catch it and see if we can find something about it? Even if there’s nothing special about that rabbit, it’s fun to keep a talking rabbit around!” a lapdog said excitedly, clearly very curious about this talking rabbit. “You’re right. Who can refuse a talking rabbit? It’s fun to keep it as entertainment. If I use it to pick up women, I believe more women will fall in love with me!” Hogster was very excited and
Although Carlos was not that concerned about appearance, he was not fond of the idea of Vanna being together with an ugly man either. He wanted Vanna to find bliss too. Hogster was angry at Celeste’s provocation and shocked that someone would turn him down. He had to say that some secular women were ignorant and blind. In his opinion, she ignored him simply because she did not know how powerful he was. Only the women in the guild were smart enough to please him. “Carlos, since I’m here, let’s have a good chat. I plan to take Vanna away!” Hogster looked at Carlos with confidence. Although Carlos was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Hogster had his pride too. As the heir to his guild, his status was noble. Carlos sneered at his arrogance. Hogster expected to take Vanna away with just one remark. He really thought highly of himself. Carlos’ mission was to protect Vanna. He was not concerned about anything else. “Do you think just anyone can take the young heiress of Cel
Ronan frowned when someone kicked the door open. Carlos and his men woke up from their drunken stupor as well and looked around solemnly. In general, practitioners would not get drunk after drinking, but they had not used their energy to neutralize the alcohol earlier. Now that something was happening, they could not remain intoxicated. Everyone stood on guard, wondering what happened. They saw a man kicking the door open. After the man kicked the door open, he appeared in front of everyone smugly. Everyone felt disgusted to see his smug look and was surprised by his ugly appearance. Philip frowned at this person. He was sure that he did not know this guy, but seeing his smug look, he should be the ugly Hogster that everyone was talking about. Carlos had mentioned earlier that Hogster's ugly appearance was so distinct that anyone could recognize him at a glance. He had a very short figure and a ridiculous proportion, like a dwarf with no legs! Philip recognized him at a gla
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Hogster picked up the kid angrily. Hogster was never a patient man, so he was even more annoyed by the kid’s defiance. He wanted to teach the kid a lesson for messing with him. “Stop crying. I want to ask you something. If you answer me properly, I’ll leave you alone.” Hogster smacked the kid, leaving him in a daze. The kid had never encountered such a situation before and simply sobbed. “Have you heard anything about an ugly woman? She was supposed to be the bride of the Cohen family, but the marriage was canceled at the last minute.” Hogster glared at the sobbing child in exasperation but he had to ask his questions patiently. After all, the kid looked the easiest to bully among everyone around. The child stopped crying and nodded after hearing him. “Someone took the ugly woman away. They're staying in the small house over there!” He was afraid that Hogster would hit him again, so he blurted everything he knew. The kid always hun
