Everyone was excited to hear the news from Philip. “That’s great. We’ll take part in all the challenges. We have to show everyone what we can do. It’s time to make a name for ourselves,” Aslan said with a bright smile. He had long wanted to show off his skills. After all, a monster beast like him always liked to show off his abilities. It was excruciating for him for not being able to do so. Philip made arrangements to set off in three days. Three days later, Philip brought everyone to the location where the competition was held. Practitioners from various guilds arrived one after another, and all the inns in that area were fully occupied. Philip sighed. He did not expect that the competition would be held in such a remote area. “We might've failed to find a place to stay if we’d been a tad later. This place is dreadful.” Aslan looked around with disdain. The scenery was nice, but other things were lacking. The inn was quite rundown, including the rooms they had been as
“See you on the battlefield.” They had some battles to fight, so threats were meaningless at this point. Aslan was full of disdain. He had no intention of joining the fight. He was simply responsible for bringing the others here. “As you can see, these people are very arrogant. We should let them know how powerful we are,” Philip encouraged everyone. He was curious to find out how strong the major guilds were. It was his first time competing with the large guilds, so it was a good chance to find out. “Let’s go to the registration office to sign up.” Philip had customized uniforms for them. As a large guild, they should have their uniforms. Their clothes looked different from others because of certain modern fashion elements. Philip had found a high-end designer to customize the uniform, so it was not comparable to the clothes of normal people. As soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of many people. The women were envious, and everyone was curious about th
The guild leaders sat down in their respective positions. Philip knew that no one recognized him. As everyone chatted with each other, Philip had no intention of joining them. He thought they were too noisy. Although Philip ignored them, they were curious about Philip and wanted to talk to him. “Which guild do you represent?” “You don’t look familiar. I don’t think I’ve seen you before.” “Why don’t you introduce yourself?” Everyone asked Philip to introduce himself and seemed curious about him. At this time, the leader of the Pill Guild smiled with disdain. Since Philip had offended him, he wanted to teach Philip a lesson. “Hehe, he’s not as strong as you think. He’s just an ordinary guild leader of a small and unknown guild. His personal strength is not bad, but that doesn’t apply to the members under him.” Donald bad-mouthed Philip in private. He thought Philip would never find out. As the leader of the Pill Guild, his status and position were higher than other guil
How could some ordinary members come up with such powerful treasures? Donald was confused and at a loss for what to do. Philip stood aside, unfazed and unmoved. His members were responsible for their own pills and weapons. It had nothing to do with him. Philip simply provided them with the necessary practice resources. The leaders of other guilds were amazed by their strong performance. They looked at Donald in confusion, wondering what he was up to. “I think you need to explain this or else…” “Who said they were lousy? They're better than I imagined.” “From the looks of it, Guild Leader Philip should be very powerful too.” As they discussed it, they felt a sense of crisis, and their moods became somber. They thought that the winner would emerge among the major guilds, but this powerful guild popped out of nowhere. Everyone had a bad feeling about this dark horse. They were nervous. If this matter escalated, things would not be so simple. Everyone was determined to ge
“You should hurry up and check that guy’s background. Besides, why are you here when your guild has ended up in that state?” someone mocked Donald in disdain. Donald looked at the person who spoke. “My guild is just not interested in this event. As for that mountain, I’m not very keen about it either!” Donald said arrogantly, feeling upset. “Is that so? As far as I know, you’re currently facing a big problem. I heard that you’ve lost several guild elders recently, and your elite members have suffered major casualties. Is that true?” The major guild leaders gathered around, curious to hear about it. Donald was usually very cautious. How could he make such a big mistake? Donald was upset to hear everyone talking about him, trying to dig for information on the pretense of showing concern. He wished he could drive them away. However, he could not do that given his status. His position was not enough to compete with everyone. “You must be kidding. This is no big deal to me. I
“You won’t have to be so angry if you agree to work with me.” Donald turned around doubtfully for a look and found that he did not know that man. Moreover, this man appeared behind him without his knowing! How bizarre! Realizing that, Donald was filled with both fear and anticipation. He was clearly curious about this guy. “What do you mean by working with you? Can you kill him? I doubt so.” Donald was not looking down on this man, but Philip was too strong—not someone anyone could deal with. “I know his background. He’s not from around here. I know many of his secrets, unlike you.” Hearing that, Donald was startled. Philip’s background was baffling, indeed. “If he’s not from around here, is he from that mysterious place he mentioned…” Donald pondered, wondering what was going on. The man smiled to himself as if waiting for Donald’s reply. “If you want to be trampled under his feet forever, I don’t mind if you reject me outright.” Donald frowned at his remark but fina
“I’ll take care of his guild members next. You have to believe that I can kill him easily with my strength,” the mysterious man said smugly. He could not deal with everyone at once, but he could take care of a few at a time easily. “In that case, take down the championship this time and show me how good you are,” Donald bargained with the other party. If this person was really that good, he could get first place for Donald. Donald was very interested in the legendary Warble Mountain. “Warble Mountain is mine.” Donald looked in the direction of Warble Mountain with resentment. If not for Philip, things would not have turned out this way. “I can’t help you with that. You’re too weak. Even if I can help you deal with Philip, you have other opponents to deal with. I said I can help you deal with Philip, not other things.” Donald rolled his eyes at this guy’s nerve. “If you're refusing to help me, forget it. Just deal with Philip, then. If you can solve this problem, I won't
“Why are you here? What’s going on? Didn't you die in that place with the other guild members?” Donald did not check if anyone was alive, so he was surprised to see a survivor. Carol sighed helplessly. “I managed to escape the disaster by chance, but the others are not so lucky. They're now…” Her heart ached in pain when she thought of her father who died at the hands of that guy. Donald looked at Carol’s reaction uneasily. “Do you want to take revenge on Philip? I have a plan…” Since Carol was so upset with Philip, Donald could use this opportunity to let Carol trick Philip. “With your beauty, I’m sure you can bewitch Philip. I believe no man in this world can resist a woman’s charms, and Philip is no exception.” In his opinion, no man could resist this temptation, so maybe he could turn things around if Carol could enchant Philip. Carol's face flashed with expectation. She wanted to charm Philip too, and not necessarily as his enemy. After all, Philip was very powerful.
Some people were so powerful that someone would turn them into puppets after they died and continue to use them, and the abilities they possessed before they died would be increased by several times. Although human puppets were powerful, they were difficult to produce and required the sacrifice of innocent people, so many people saw it as a twisted and forbidden technique. Every once in a while, human puppets had to kill some powerful practitioners to renew their skin or the skin would disintegrate until it became unusable. Although Philip had met Brett, it was just a brief contact. He was not clear about the Spade family. Philip believed that the human puppet must have been produced by the Spade family because the puppet needed practitioners to renew its skin on a long-term basis or the secret would be exposed in no time. A newly formed puppet had no thoughts of its own. It would gradually think like normal people as time passed, but the most important advantage of a human pup
“I’ve known Hercules a long time ago. He’s very powerful and a top fighter of the Spade family. I didn't expect them to assign him to us. I feel a little flattered now,” Loony said. Philip noticed his reaction. Now that he was rational, they could continue the conversation. “Did he look like this when you saw him back then?” Philip thought that Hercules' mechanical reaction was strange. No normal person should act like that. “He seemed stiffer before, just like a robot, and he almost couldn’t think for himself. “Anyway, he just has to execute the orders given to him by his master without thinking too much. I quite envy him sometimes. His master always speaks his mind without beating about the bush. If I can find such a master… “Bah, I’m an independent individual. Why should I follow a master?” As Loony described his earlier encounter with Hercules, Philip found a clue. “You're right. I finally know what's wrong.” Philip smacked his thigh. He felt that Hercules was too m
“To tell you the truth, we’ve always wanted to take action against the Swift family, but our identity makes it inconvenient for us. We've always hoped that an individual force could take action on our behalf. “The Swift family has other families to support them, but you don’t have to worry about them. We can take care of them. You just need to confront the main family.” Brett clapped his hands together, and a man walked in the door. The man was burly and looked like a strong fighter. “He’s a guard of the Spade family and a force to be reckoned with. To show you my support and gratitude, I’ll lend this guard to you for the time being. His name is Hercules, and he’s no different from the Hercules in our mythology. I gave him this name to make him stronger.” Philip smiled. Sure enough, only humans would appreciate such things. “Hercules, you’ll be their point of contact. You need to do your best to help them if they need help and hold nothing back.” Philip felt Hercules’ power
“We’ll be meeting a young heir of the Spade family. He holds the highest status in the family apart from the head of the family. “I’m sure we can solve the problem as long as we reach an agreement with him. I’m just afraid…” Philip was puzzled by Loony’s hesitation. “What are you worried about? Are you worried that the Spade family won't help you?” Philip was curious. He did not know the Spade family, so he could not predict their reaction. “I’m just afraid that they may be concerned about how this incident will impact them. Although the Spade family resented the Swift family, they've never taken action against them over the years, which proves their caution. Now that things have escalated, I’m not sure if the Spade family will agree to our proposition.” Philip nodded. It was certainly worth consideration, but they could only find out after a talk with them. Philip was not worried about it. If they were willing to cooperate, both parties could form a strong alliance, but it
“Calm down, you’ll have your fun after we deal with Loony. Taking action so quickly is only asking for trouble. We have to keep our cool now.” The ugly man fell silent at Drake’s words. He nodded and forced himself to control his emotions. “I’ll wait for the day, then. I have to commend Loony’s tastes. That woman is quite the catch!"… While Drake planned how to deal with Loony and Philip, Philip was discussing with Loony how to solve this problem. He knew that the Swift family was a force to be reckoned with, but they had to deal with them. Through the conversation, Philip roughly learned the general situation of the human world. All the major families were making a comeback, but the Swift family was the most arrogant among them. Another powerful force was the Spade family. The Spade family had always kept a low profile and had little contact with worldly affairs. They had always frowned upon the Swift family and opposed their crooked ways. After being imprisoned for so m
“I’m surprised that you’re such a devoted lover, but are you sure there’s nothing fishy about it? Humans usually look down on other races. Why would they propose a political marriage?” Lyle expressed his doubts over this matter. There had to be something strange about this. They might suffer a great blow if they rashly opposed the Swift family, but they couldn’t let the Swift family bully the woman of Loony’s dreams either. “I know it’s strange, but I’ve confirmed that the other party is indeed my lover.” They discussed at length but simply could not determine if this was a fraud.… On the other hand, members of the Swift family gathered happily as if there was something worth celebrating. “Are you sure we can trick Loony into coming over with this?” An ugly man looked at Drake with both curiosity and expectation. Drake nodded, excited at the thought that Loony would soon fall into the trap according to his plan. “You have to believe that he’s a man of loyalty and faith,
“Speaking of demons, I recall something. Before Rabbit's father died, he had a relic that he wanted to pass down to Rabbit. It was supposedly a valuable treasure that all demons would fight for.” Everyone was startled to hear that. “Something left by my father? Why have I never heard of it? Tell me the details!” Rabbit’s nonchalance was quickly replaced by anxiety. He had always attached great importance to news of his father. He had lost his memory, so he could not remember many things. He had no impression of his father either, which made him sad. “I don't know what your father left for you, but he was very adamant about giving it to you. It was hidden in the depths of the mountain at the time. Although it was said to be a treasure, I always thought it was just a gimmick.” Black Rabbit had always thought that Rabbit's father was an unreliable rabbit. He often used treasures to trick people into helping him. However, the treasures he gave were the real deal, so the rabbits
At Philip’s level, he could easily escape a carefully planned assassination like that. After the woman returned to the safe base in a hurry, a man appeared in front of her unhappily. “Did you fail your mission?” Although he looked unhappy, there was no anger in his voice. The assassin lowered her head and nodded nervously. She knew that death awaited her upon her failed mission. The other party sighed and said nothing. “This mission was issued by the Swift family. Although you failed your mission, they didn’t blame you, so you won’t suffer any repercussions.” The assassin was surprised to hear the man’s words. She escaped a disaster. “Really? That's great. My target this time is a strong, powerful person. We need to be fully prepared if we have to assassinate him again!” The assassin's name was Scorpio, a professional top-notch killer who rarely failed. However, she was defeated by Philip this time. Scorpio felt a lingering fear at the thought of Philip’s terrifying str
Moby was full of disdain for those people who kept bragging about their bloodline. Bloodline was important, but power was more important. It was sickening to see those people looking down on other races based on their bloodline when they were not strong enough to back it up. Everyone had always looked down on the fish creatures because of their bloodline. They had endured it for a long time. Philip’s arrival marked their time to rise. They had to show everyone that bloodline was not the most important factor in determining status. “However, the demons are not so easy to deal with. We have to be prepared for a drawn-out war. If I’m not mistaken, they’ll find ways to mess with us soon.” Philip was interested in the Swift family and wanted to find out more about them. “Normal people can’t get in touch with the Swift family. They've maintained the prosperity of the family despite being imprisoned for a long time, which proves their strong foundation." Loony was wary. He knew
