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
“Let’s stay here for the time being. I believe we can pass the challenge with our abilities, but there are risks involved, after all. I just want everyone to try their best.” These members were Philip’s precious students, so he was unwilling to see anything happen to them. Everyone nodded at Philip’s remarks. There should be no problem with their strength. “Don't worry, Philip. We’ll definitely do our best. This challenge is not difficult for us. We can get it done as long as we put some effort into it.” “That’s right, we can also see how strong the others are. Are they really as weak as we think?” Everyone spoke cheerfully, clearly looking down on the guild members of this continent. They were more or less in awe of these unfamiliar people when they first arrived, but after witnessing their so-called powerful strength, they quickly changed their minds. At this time, someone knocked on Philip's inn door. Philip asked someone to open the door, curious to see what was going
“There’s no way you can continue staying here if you refuse to pay up. Not only can we not guarantee your safety, but we’ll also take you away for questioning according to the rules. We know time is of the essence for practitioners like you.” The threat in the other party’s words was clear. This incident would not be over until Philip gave them something. At this time, Lyle came to Philip's side and whispered in his ear, “Philip, this sneaky guy is clearly out for money. We can’t give in to him.” Aslan was annoyed. He hated such bullies the most. He would have kicked the imperial guards out if Philip had not stopped him. “Since there are so many of you, just pay a fee per head. I believe it shouldn't be a problem for you. After all, your guild looks quite large.” The captain signaled a number with his hand, clearly asking Philip to hand over the money quickly. Philip nodded and smiled brightly. “Of course, that's no problem. Aslan, it's your turn to take the stage. You sh
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
The captain was horrified by this scene. He did not expect that Philip was so powerful to take his men down in seconds. “What powerful magic is that?” Everyone was shocked to see Philip’s strength, and the troublemakers looked worried. “Let's go. Even the Shadow Army can't do anything to him. We stand no chance.” “I think he's concealing his strength, or there’s no way he could deal with the Shadow Army so easily.” The captain of the Shadow Army could not figure out what was going on. He had no idea if he could deal with Philip either. “I can deal with you easily, so stop wasting my time and just speak your mind. I hear that you’re from the Shadow Army. In that case, let’s have a good chat.” Philip quickly sat down with him in a tavern. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Duncan. It’s nice to meet you.” Since he decided to have a chat with Philip, he left nothing unsaid. The first step of good communication was to uncover his true details. “As you know, my name is Ph
“You seem stronger than Killer Bee. You might've stood a chance of winning if you had gone against him,” Philip taunted. Philip raised his head and took the punch without breaking a sweat. “If you want to steal from me, I'm sorry to tell you that you found the wrong target. If you just want to make friends with me, I’m more than happy to accept.” Philip grabbed the guy’s fist and threw him out with disdain, not taking him seriously at all. The guy did not expect that he would be tossed aside like a piece of trash and started panicking. Before he passed out, he only remembered that Philip easily dealt with him without breaking a sweat. He did not know what happened later, but he knew that Philip was so strong that he could kill him in a split second. If he could turn back time, he would never go after Philip again. Other people were shocked to see Philip’s strength. “He tossed the guy out so easily. This is terrifying. How did he do it?” “That’s impossible. That guy is p
Philip walked on the road leisurely, feeling honored to have so many people stalking him. “I’m surprised that I could attract so many people.” Philip sighed in amazement as he walked. Soon, he came across several good large inns and made his choice after some selection. He was not short of money, so he did not waste time on this. “I’m going to fully reserve this inn for the time being. I don't want to see other people on my territory, so your job is to keep irrelevant people out.” Philip negotiated with the innkeeper and received the other party's consent. After all, Philip’s offer was too good to refuse. They quickly reached an agreement, and Philip obtained the right to use the inn at a good price. At this time, a bunch of people surrounded Philip with disdain. “You’re quite bold to come out alone.” “It’s very interesting to see someone walking around with so many treasures on hand.” Everyone mocked with disdainful smiles on their faces. Philip shook his head helple
Very soon, someone sent Philip his rewards. The onlookers were surprised to see Philip receiving so many precious treasures. Some were happy while others were sad. Some envied Philip's treasures while others hankered after them. After all, not everyone could receive such rewards. Only practitioners who performed well had the opportunity to get these rewards that belonged to the advanced list. Although they could not do anything to Philip for the time being, Philip would leave Deadly Arena eventually. As long as they did not take action in Deadly Arena, no one would care what happened to Philip after that. “You can stay if you want to keep fighting. I’ll take a look around and find a place for us to stay,” Philip said to his people. These little guys had not shown off their strength yet, so they were sure to stay. Sure enough, everyone nodded. It was time for them to take the spotlight. Aslan and the others chose to stay. No one would miss the opportunity to show off. Philip
Some people saw Philip's actions before he confounded everyone, so they were terrified. “What's going on? Has that guy gone crazy? I just saw him standing there motionless, waiting for Killer Bee to attack him.” “I would've moved ages ago. Killer Bee is very powerful. He was clearly lurking around, waiting for the chance to attack Philip, but Philip didn’t even try to dodge. Is he really that confident in his strength?” “It’s over. I bet tens of thousands of energy stones on Philip. Everything will go down the drain if he loses the match.” Everyone sighed, hoping Philip would not let them down. However, more people thought that Philip would definitely die this time. At his level, it was simply impossible for him to face Killer Bee's strongest sneak attack. The old men looked at Philip's action with excitement and anticipation, hoping that Philip would be killed immediately. “It’d be great if he died. We can recoup all our losses in one fell swoop.” “It’s good if we can
