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
Sensing these people’s dissatisfaction, Philip simply laughed it off. Their verbal attacks did not affect him at all. He simply thought they were too noisy. The mysterious man who planned to target Philip hid in the corner, observing Philip’s reaction. His eyes were full of murderous intent as if he had a big grudge against Philip. “If not for this powerful robe, I guess Philip would've discovered my presence by now. He’s a force to be reckoned with.” The mysterious man grabbed the hem of his robe, which he found by chance. The robe could block the detection of most people. He planned to test the robe in front of Philip, and he found that Philip had not reacted to his presence even after such a long time, which proved that Philip had not noticed him at all. This robe was definitely a prized item. “Do you think it'll make a difference to come to this continent? Do you think the Guzo Continent isn’t enough for you?” Philip would definitely recognize this man if he saw his ugl
Rick put on an air of mystery to attract other people’s attention, and many guilds were interested in Rick. Since Rick could conceal his presence so perfectly, it proved that he was not that weak. He should be quite strong. Although not everyone was hostile to Philip, they were apprehensive of him. “This person is much stronger than you think. If you don't deal with him now, you’ll probably encounter a lot of trouble in the future. Just look at his Razer Guild. It’s a big threat to you now. If his people continue to develop, they’ll replace us sooner or later.” Rick spoke earnestly, fooling everyone with his eloquence. Philip had no idea that this was happening around him. He simply knew that his people had won first place. The reward for this competition was nothing more than Warble Mountain. Even the organizers did not expect that this guild which appeared out of nowhere would win. “That Razer Guild is a tough one. Since you guys are so strong, Warble Mountain is now your
Donald thought his plan was going very well, but Philip and the others thought he was more amusing than a jester. After the competition ended, the old man from the organizing team smiled brightly. “Dear guild leaders, maybe you haven’t heard of this important news yet. Glaze Tower is about to open, and anyone who can pass the test will gain endless rewards.” Upon hearing that, everyone was in an uproar. After a thousand years, Glaze Tower was about to open again. “That’s great. Glaze Tower will open again. I wonder if anyone can pass it this time?” “After a thousand years of preparation, I believe someone will successfully reach the top this time!” “It's hard to say. Many young talents only made it to the fifth floor the last time.” Everyone discussed Glaze Tower cautiously. Philip and the others did not know anything about Glaze Tower, so they listened to the conversations around them curiously. “With this opening of Glaze Tower, many young talents will emerge again.
The guild leaders made small talk, hoping that their guild members would perform well. Glaze Tower had always existed in legends. As it only opened every thousand years, it was one of the most valuable and powerful training grounds on this continent. Glaze Tower contained many ferocious beasts with both powerful strength and ability. Among them was a Dream Eater Beast that was best at creating illusions. This beast would be asleep most of the time during the thousand years. It was not difficult to kill this beast, but the problem lay with the illusions it created. Even though the beast was immersed in its dreams, it could trap someone in its illusion and kill them. It was rumored that only five such beasts existed on this continent. Various mighty beings joined forces and finally captured one beast after sacrificing countless people. This ferocious beast was imprisoned in Glaze Tower. Therefore, although Glaze Tower was a place full of opportunities, it was full of various da
The challenge in Glaze Tower was unlike any other secret realm. One might die if they forced their way inside and challenged their limits. However, that risk was worth taking considering the rewards they might get after successfully passing the attempt. They might suffer some injuries at the beginning of the challenge, but the higher they went, the more likely they might find restrictions on their souls. If the challengers did not withdraw from the battle in time, they might suffer unprecedented damage to their souls to the point of no recovery. By then, not even the most powerful alchemist in the whole continent could help. Making choices was the biggest test of all. Most of the participants were young and promising elite guild members, prized assets of the guilds. It would be a huge blow to the guilds if anything happened to them. For example, the Pill Guild was on the brink of collapse. Most of their members were either killed or injured, so the guild was in bad shape. C
At this time, many people were rushing to Imperial City for this so-called opportunity too. The leaders of the major guilds did not attend in person but sent their powerful members instead. “You have to seize this opportunity and challenge your limits at all costs!” “You’ll make a name for yourself if you can reach the fifth floor or above, and the guild will become very powerful too!” “You have to display all your talents and don’t let us down!” The same conversation happened in different guilds. After a thousand years had passed, the previous outstanding members had long been replaced by a new batch. This was the best time for the major guilds to show their muscles. Meanwhile, Rick took this opportunity to reap many resources from the Pill Guild. Although the guild had suffered some losses, the guild leader had many treasures on hand. Rick felt very triumphant after getting these treasures. “That guy is such a fool for believing me so easily, but in that case, I can
Seeing this, Rick had a sudden flash of inspiration. “I’m a member of the guild. Do you know the Pill Guild?” Rick began to brag about his identity. The guards were less hostile after hearing that. They frowned at Rick and said, “You have to leave anyway. Your guild should provide you with a place to live. Don’t stay here.” Rick smiled at their amicable reaction. He knew what he should do to solve this problem. “I have my reasons for staying here, and I don’t take up much space. I hope you can take it easy on me.” At this point, Rick took out a pill and an energy stone, handing them to the captain of the imperial guards. “As a token of my appreciation, these are for you.” The imperial guards smiled at Rick’s gesture. This amount of money was enough to last them for a while. “In that case, you may stay. Don’t cause any trouble or we’ll take you away.” After saying this, they smiled and left. However, Rick stopped them. “I need your help with something else!” Rick h
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
