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
As Dustin looked around, a hand reached out and pulled him inside. Before Dustin could react, he was pulled into the barrier. Kemp panicked and rushed forward to rescue his teacher. However, only Dustin knew how to open the barrier. Kemp was helpless and nervous like a cat on a hot tin roof. He could not enter at all. “What the hell is going on?” Kemp was puzzled and looked at the entrance curiously. He felt both excited and worried when Dustin was captured. However, Kemp finally decided to ask for help. He could not afford the consequences if something happened to Dustin. More importantly, he had not learned everything from Dustin yet. He would lose the opportunity if Dustin died inside. Kemp’s cries for help quickly took effect. A team of guards ran over and frantically tried to break the barrier but to no avail. “Hurry up and think of a way to rescue my teacher. You’ll be in trouble if something happens inside!” Kemp ranted furiously, putting all the blame on
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
