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.
A competent and powerful guild should know many things, but these guilds were only specialized in one field, which was embarrassing. “That's right. If you ask me, these guilds are rubbish. They have no right to compete with us at all. Our people can do everything,” Lyle complained, feeling that this matter was ridiculous. “Hello, are you the leader of the Razer Guild?” At this moment, a tentative voice rang in Philip’s ears, making him uncomfortable. Of course, Philip knew that someone was approaching him, but he ignored it. “Just speak your mind and stop wasting my time,” Philip said seriously, unwilling to pay attention to this loser. He could tell at a glance that this woman was definitely up to something, so he could not be bothered with her. Carol was upset by Philip’s indifference. “I’m just curious about you. I don’t have other intentions.” Carol approached Philip cautiously and looked at him nervously. Philip smiled at her reaction. “I know you’re a member of th
Carol tried to fool Philip into accepting her. It would be easier if she could get close to Philip. Hearing that, Philip smiled helplessly and turned to look at Lyle and Aslan. “Philip, I think you should take this woman in. I believe she’ll be of great help to you,” Aslan teased Philip as if he were sincere about this suggestion. Lyle nodded obligingly. He did not mind watching the fun. “That’s right, just look at this beautiful young lady. We can take her in as our maid!” Everyone knew exactly what this woman was up to, so they pretended to give her the chance. They planned to embarrass her thoroughly. Carol thought she had managed to fool them and nodded excitedly. “That’s right, I’m sincere about apologizing to you. Please forgive me.” Although Carol’s excuse was very lame, Philip finally agreed after seeing her determination to work for him. “In that case, you can follow me from now on, but you need to understand your position and keep your nose out of certain thin
Philip deliberately made things difficult for Carol, but she simply nodded gently without getting angry. She wanted to deal with Philip thoroughly. To her, this was just suffering in silence. After settling things with Carol, Philip felt relaxed and comfortable. It felt pretty good to have a maid at his beck and call. He sat down to watch the competition. His guild was sure to win without any doubts. More than halfway through the competition, Philip knew victory was theirs. Meanwhile, Carol sneaked back to Donald and gave him an update. “I've gained Philip’s trust, and I can stay by his side from now on. You have nothing to worry about.” In Carol’s opinion, they were on the same team and should work together to deal with Philip. Donald did not expect that Carol could infiltrate Philip’s inner circle so successfully. “So, Philip isn’t as good as he seems. As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist a woman’s charms. This guy can't handle a beautiful woman at all.” Donald wa
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
Argent felt fear grip him. Philip’s earlier action was terrifying, as if he could grab his soul with a wave of his hand. Philip laughed at Argent’s hasty retreat, amused by his cowardice. “I just wanted to scare you. There's no need to dodge so quickly,” he said with a chuckle. Argent was furious by Philip’s shameless prank. Although he was angry, Argent had to give up his absurd plan when he thought of Philip's strength. Philip was not to be trifled with. He had to watch out. Before he could slip away and mess with Philip another day, Philip grabbed his right hand abruptly, leaving him no time to react. Argent’s right hand lost all sensation as if it had been crippled. He looked down at his right hand in a panic and was shocked to find that his right arm had vanished. “What the hell is going on? How could you do this to me?” He was shocked that Philip could break his defense so easily and cripple him. He was a force to be reckoned with, and not everyone could go against hi
Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice
Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl
Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
